Every parking lot owner in Kalamazoo eventually deals with it. A car in a resident's assigned space, a camper left behind after move-out, a stranger using a customer lot to catch a game at Waldo Stadium, or a car with flat tires that hasn't moved since spring. Towing Kalamazoo helps property owners and managers clear those vehicles out legally, without confrontation and without paperwork headaches.

Doing it properly
Towing a car off private property is regulated in Michigan, and the rules protect both you and the vehicle owner. Before we start a regular arrangement with a property, we walk the lot with you and look at your signage. We confirm who on your side can authorize a tow, and we agree on how requests will reach us. Every vehicle we remove is reported to local police, so an owner who finds their car missing can track it down quickly instead of reporting it stolen.
That careful approach matters to Towing Kalamazoo, because a tow that skips a step can turn into a dispute that lands back on the property manager's desk.
How a typical request works
- An authorized person at the property calls us with the vehicle's location, description and plate.
- We confirm the request and send a truck.
- The vehicle is photographed, removed and taken to our secure lot.
- Police are notified, and the owner can collect the vehicle once they show proof of ownership.
Abandoned vehicles
A vehicle that's been sitting for weeks is a different problem from one that's parked in the wrong spot overnight. Abandoned vehicles follow their own process in Michigan. Tell us how long it's been there and what you know about it, and we'll explain the steps before anything is towed.
Unauthorized Vehicle Towing questions
Do I need signs before you can tow from my lot?
In most situations, yes. Proper signage is part of doing a private-property tow legally. We'll look at your current signs and tell you whether anything needs changing.
Who is allowed to request a tow?
Only the property owner or someone they've authorized, such as a property manager. We confirm the authorization before we start working with a property.
Where do towed vehicles go?
To our fenced, monitored storage lot. The owner can collect the vehicle with proof of ownership and photo ID.
