Towing Issues: tow place holding my truck, chevy blazer, money


Question
I have a 99 Chevy Blazer that broke down and was parked in a shopping plaza. It got towed and i called the tow place. I live in AZ and i was told that I can pick up my truck without paying the impound fees cause they cant legally hold it. That they can bill me for the amount. Is this correct?

Answer
that is what I have heard, but I have not really had the time to fully research the issue.

It sounds strange to me, after all what kind of power or hold would they have to get you to send the money?

I will have to get further down my research list, to get more information about the issue but here is a link to a newspaper story on towing from Arizona and it lists and covers several things.

Sorry for not having any answers for you that are rock solid.
