damn so our car just got towed for not having tags from the street! yea i know my fault for not having the tags paid but we have been trying to pass smog and it just wont go..so we call the towing company and the want $400 just for half a day about and want $100 just to retrieve personal belongings( baby seat, money, wallets,etc) and if we leave the car there they are gonna charge us $4000 and send it to collections WTF! This system is so flawed and they just wanna go take your money not caring what your situation is.....I just hope that karma comes and kills them all!! lol FUKC!!!!!

Something doesn't sound right about that, I don't think they can charge you to get your belongings out of the car and they'll just lien the car so its not your problem. They can't charge you $4000 because you can't pick up your car, I'd actually call the local PD and tell them whats going on and see what they have to say about it. There are a LOT of crooked tow companies out there, many get busted for doing illegal shit like picking your car up when its parked legal and charging you just to set it back down. Research it and figure out who you can turn them into for this shit, get their asses shut down for extorting money from people.

redwood city tow rates 235 for the tow. 117.50 for the after hours/ weekend gate fee. 65.00 per day for storage.
after 30 days of storage @65 your storage your at 1950 then you got a lein fee probably 70-100
so your at 2285 with out a gate fee.
go to dmv monday get your temp moving permit and get your car out.

haha do it. But make it ALL pennies. It sends a message to the fuckers that its outrageous. Did anyone see the college student that paid his tuition in all one dollar bills?

How can they make you pay for a service you never asked for? My boy had a car impounded never went back for it,car was auctioned and months later he received a collections notice. He called them and told them to stop sending him letters or he would take them to court. The lady told him he had to pay or they would report to the credit agencies,he told the lady to send him proof where he asked/authorized/signed for the tow and storage fees.never heard back from them again doesn't even show up on his credit report.
As far as the gate fee,most tow companies make money charging stupid fees. You might be able to negotiate getting your property if you surrender the title if you don't plan on getting it out
