Not every towed vehicle has somewhere to go straight away. The repair shop may be closed when we arrive at 3 a.m., the insurance adjuster may need a week to look at the damage, or the car may be part of an estate that's still being sorted out. Towing Kalamazoo keeps a secure storage lot for those in-between times, so your vehicle sits behind a locked gate instead of on a street or in a shopping-center lot.
When storage makes sense
- After an accident: while your insurer arranges an inspection and decides between repair and total loss
- After-hours tows: when the destination shop isn't open yet
- Private-property removals: vehicles removed by our unauthorized vehicle towing service, held until the owner collects them
- Personal situations: a move, a deployment, a hospital stay or an estate that leaves a car with nowhere to go
- Waiting on a buyer or a scrap pickup: when a vehicle needs to be off your property now
How the lot is secured
The Towing Kalamazoo yard is fenced and gated, and it's monitored. Vehicles are released only to the registered owner or to someone the owner has authorized in writing, such as a body shop or an insurance company. When a vehicle comes in, we record its condition, so there's a clear record of what arrived and what left.
Short-term and long-term
Most vehicles stay with us for a few days. That's usually how long it takes for a shop to free up a bay or for an adjuster to get out for a look. We also hold vehicles for longer periods by arrangement. If you expect a longer stay, tell us when you call so we can plan space and talk through what you need.
Picking up your vehicle
Call ahead before you come, so we can have the vehicle ready and confirm what you'll need to bring. In most cases that's a photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration or title. If someone else is collecting it for you, they'll need written authorization from you as well. Need it delivered somewhere instead? We can tow it straight from our lot to the shop or address you choose.
Vehicle Storage questions
Can I get personal items out of my stored vehicle?
Yes. Call ahead and arrange a time, then bring photo ID so we can confirm the vehicle is yours.
Can my insurance adjuster inspect the car at your lot?
Yes. Adjusters and appraisers can inspect vehicles in storage with the owner's authorization.
Do you store boats or trailers?
Ask us when you call. Storage space for larger items depends on availability.
