Your car was involved wither you were or not, so its locked up ,until you can prove its not involved and possibly that its use was without your consent.If you knowingly let someone use your vehicle while they were under the influence,it can be forfeited to the state and you can even be charged criminally in most states. so if you were at home sleeping ,unaware is onething, if you let someone use your car to go drinking or after a party is something quite different.If they are only charging you $600 your getting off easy ,the norm here is minimum $50 a day storage and impound that you must pay to get your vehicle back plus any and all towing expenses $75 for them to take the truck out of the shop minimum then so much a mile, each way.If the car was stolen/taken without permission and you filed all your police reports and were willing to cooperate in prosecution then you would be able to get it back without paying any of the fee’s..also most places the impound yard isnt responsible for any theft or damage while your car is there,so you may pay and then get back a stripped mangled carcass . worst scenerio ,you dont pay the fees, they auction off the car at public auction, your still indebtted to the impound yard for any cash not recoupped in the sale (usualy they sell them for .10 on the dollar of sale value) and you still have to pay it off at the bank too.so you end up with no car, and deeply in debt,unable to buy another car til you pay everyone off.Next time dont let drunks use your car.
Yep. It’s a complete racket. No space is worth what they charge. But they know they have you where it counts and so they take advantage of you. Most crooked garbage ever. I’ve heard of people paying over $2,000 for 30 days.
