Predatory towing at its finest. Must be a slow week so they are walking around my condo complex at midnight looking for expired parking passes. It's one thing to tow someone from a handicap spot or a no parking zone but to deliberately walk around someone's neighborhood looking to make an extra buck is pretty low. Karma is a fucking bitch if you're an asshole. read more

Absolutely unbelievable experience with this towing company. They literally sat and waited until 11 minutes after the visitor parking curfew to tow my vehicle. Eleven minutes. I walked out at 10:15 because a friend of mine was going through a hard time...Instead of focusing on safety or legitimate violations, they clearly have nothing better to do than stalk cars and pounce the second they can profit from it. This wasn't about enforcing rules...this was predatory, plain and simple. No warning, no courtesy, no common sense. Just a company sitting around watching the clock so they can grab a car the moment the curfew hits. It's ridiculous, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing that a business would operate this way. If you're considering their services, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. It's obvious this company prioritizes money over basic decency. read more

They took our only car right from in front of our condo when we weren't in anybody's spot.

I would give half a star if possible. These folks are extremely rude and money hungry. The individual working the window was very hostile when I asked why they towed my car from my apartment complex despite having my parking pass and my plates are up to date. He aggressively let me know that their prices were set by Fairfax county, despite me not asking anything relating to prices. Awful service. read more

My car was towed from HOA in Sept 2025 despite a valid visitor tag. Dominion Towing charged $1,975 for 35 days of storage and mailed notice to the wrong address. When I contacted the company, a representative responded twice with flippant and condescending responses, yet declined to provide actual HOA authorization or documentation which is what I need. I can see why they have such poor reviews. read more

These people are thieves. They use any reason to tow your vehicle. If you live or are near the Avenir or Dunn Loring shopping area, beware. I have had friends who parked here and gotten towed. I understand when there is a good reason to tow a vehicle, but these people literally lurk and tow your car. They go garage to garage routinely just to see if you are a MINUTE over the time. If you live in one of the apartments, make sure you take off your Parking Permit if you decide to park in the retail spots because they will simply tow you just for not parking in your apartment floor, even if you're within the 4 hour range for retail. Also, make sure you press the 2 hour reset button in the Avenir parking, because they will tow you for not doing so and charge you $170, + $30 gas charge + a weekend charge, even where there is PLENTY of parking in the area. One time, I parked in the garage and took a phone call while staying inside my vehicle. I saw Dominion tow truck literally look at each car, and even went to mine and marked it so they know how long I've been parked. This is a company that takes advantage of people and takes advantage of their "job" to make profit. They have bad business practices. read more

Predatory towing, they wait in the parking lot just to tow your vehicle when you leave

1/29/22 Last night was cold one. Last night was a windy one. Last night my neighbor decided to park his car in my reserved spot. Last night we left a note on his car. Last night we knocked on our neighbor's door, but were met with no response. Last night we saw our neighbors were home when we knocked on the door. Last night we were very annoyed. Last night we called Dominion Towing. Dominion Towing had one of the most polite dispatchers I have met in the towing business. Dominion Towing put me at ease after speaking with Al's Towing. Dominion Towing took down my information about the vichele in question. Dominion Towing helped me when Al's Towing dispatcher was very rude. Dominion Towing would have towed the vichele in question, but my housing area is contracted to one individual group. Dominion Towing wasn't able to tow the car in question, but left me feeling better about the tow trucking industry. Dominion Towing wasn't able to assist me in this situation, but I feel confident that I will be using their services in the future. This dispatcher I spoke to is one cool dude. read more

These guys are like hawks trying to prey on innocent people. Imagine my plight when i wake in the morning to see my car missing from my own paid parking spot ! i thought it was stolen.Well being towed by these guys was more horrible than my car being stolen.160$ to get it back is a joke specially if its being towed from your own parking spot. The people working in their office are not helpful at all and speak like robots with a automated voice recording.I paid the money got back my car and later on raised this issue with my apartment leasing office and they refunded me the towing fee. I suggest you guys to hire drivers who are visually healthy and train them well enough to not tow vehicles from paid parking spots. read more

this country makes a ridiculous amount of money off where people park by making it extremely limited. Gotta pay 1.2k in rent that includes a parking fee- but you have to park inconveniently at a separate building. So not only do your best to avoid this towing company but avoid existing in northern Virginia. read more

2 free hours means 2 free hours. Daughter touched machine even though we are in the midst of a pandemic.... shouldn't even be a requirement.

Harris teeter apologized by giving us a gift card... seems like they are on our side. Filing complaint. Look at all your negative reviews. read more

Dominion Towing - Half hour into two hours - Towing Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

All they do is legal robbery. They towed my car from my property 3 times in the last a couple of years. They did not let me know and charge you $50/night parking. that is such a good business. read more

If I can give them no stars I would. They sit there and wait for your car without mentioning anything. They will look at you and wait til you leave to then steal your car to make an extra profit All in a stand of 5 minutes. This place is a joke and the job is a disgrace. The people here don't care about nothing but money money money. They will steal under any circumstances I'm new to the area and didn't even know which place was okay and what wasn't okay to park at. But I wasn't even staying there for long. Be weary of you all cars. read more

I was going through horrible health lrionkemd , and I forgot to check on my car decals A decent company would leave you a bitter first, but they towed my car in front of my apartment building, withy me noticing it. It took a couple of days , before I was able to go to pick it up, I called and explained the situation, as I did when I got there. They said they were sorry, but couldn't help me. Just when I was going through all the medical expenses, and could not afford to pay them. I had to borrow the money , and get a ride. Horrible place, totally only Business , heartless people that work there. I truly hate that miserable and selfish place. I wished them Karma. May they one day be in my place. read more

Predatory towing in Fairfax City! Parked for 15 minutes in the Scout commercial/food area in front of a store that was CLOSED to go to an adjacent store to get a drink. Came out and car was gone. Witness on site of parking area, said they tow car after car every night there. We later saw that there is only one small hard to see sign at an entrance ramp (but not in the actual parking strip area or near the spaces) that says towing enforced with Dominion's name on it. We asked for the Dominion manager's name to call the next day and the person in the cashier booth refused to provide it. read more

The response from Dominion is amusing. The details she provided about the tow are lacking information to say the least. I had permission to park there. This tow happened at my place of residence, with a parking pass, and with the very organization that contracts Dominion. The tow was unethical. An ethical tow is when an entity does not give a patron permission to park, and that entity NEEDS the space. Both were not satisfied here. An ethical person would have called the organization to verify, especially when a parking pass is displayed. Make no mistake, this was done to make a quick buck. In addition, just read her response, she confirms in her statement that the company uses code names. It is amazing to me how she justifies the company's actions as ethical. Once again, we need to call on our law makers for reform and hold predatory towing accountable! read more

You can file a complaint at Trespass Towing | Cable and Consumer Services Fairfax, if you were unfairly towed in the Fairfax area. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cableconsumer/csd/regulation-licensing/trespass-towing#:~:text=To%20have%20your%20tow%20investigated,Regulation%20and%20Licensing%20Branch%20investigator. My car was parked at a lot that had no detailed instructions on the rules. I missed the tow truck by about 10 minutes and when I called the lot, Dominion Towing was trying to make more money by delaying when I can come to get the vehicle, they told me the lot was closed, and I have to leave it overnight. Furthermore, when I told them there were no parking signs indicating I couldn't park there, they tried to blame it on the company that contracts them. I have been a patron at the lot where they towed me, and they shrugged it off as If I was a joke. I did call the contracting company which admitted there were not enough signs at the lot I was towed. Even though they knew they were wrong they still did not refund the money. As promised, I will make sure everyone in Fairfax knows their towing style and how they conduct business. read more

My bad for assuming a spot next to a visitor space was the same. I even thought, "Why don't people park over here?" I walk some days and noticed the car missing nearly a day later. Fees were higher, $230 and I felt the opposite of "attentive to detail" on job ads I apply for. The Prius was towed without transmission damage and service codes yet with scratches by the lock. I was afraid the car would have massive transmission damage from being dragged on the back wheels and also that the window might start letting rain in. This place takes decent care of cars. read more

December 13 around midnight they towed my car right from my own designated reserved spot at my townhouse. Somebody who doesn't live in my house called. And they even didn't try to check or contact anyone to make sure it was legal. Ready to open law case against them. Who would like to join? They had no legal basis to tow the car and this qualifies as a theft. read more

These people are beyond shady. The ethics and morals that guide them are nonexistent. I was towed for unauthorized parking but they could not elaborate on what was unauthorized about my parking. Everyone go and file a complaint with Fairfax County here: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cableconsumer/csd/consumer. They deserve to be shut down. In response: car was parked on the street. You don't need a parking pass for street parking. read more

These Fuckers saw me bringing my dog inside from my car. 5 or so minutes later come out boom car was no where to be seen. Call these assholes up they said 200 dollars to get My car back. Showed up a few minutes later got my car back. Go to get my car, left went to grab my cigarettes after inspecting for damage. My cigarettes were no longer in my vehicle, along with a one 2500 lumen flashlight mysteriously gone and a brand new crack in my driverside window. These fuckers are the only trash to have been in my vehicle. I wonder how long it'll take for these predators to get caught for all the fraudulent crap they pull, astronomical prices that apparently are "sanctioned by Fairfax County police". Which is obviously not true, especially since fairfax county police weren't on site at my house. read more

Awful unscrupulous company. Towed my car TWICE from my place of residence. Please message me to file a lawsuit for basically stealing my car then charging me to get it back. And if you call them to tow someone who is illegally parked, they will not come even if you have a contract with them. Just criminal. read more

Dominion definitely does their job! I value their service because who wants to come home and have nowhere to park OR someone is parked in a spot YOU pay for each month? And what really irks me is when people who are not handicap park in a handicap spot without a pass, it's an inconvenience to others who actually have a disability!!!!!! You literally have a choice not to be towed. Says a lot about a person when they can't follow the rules! read more

Apparently the current pandemic doesn't apply to Dominion. My vehicle was towed from my residential lot in the wee hours of Saturday morning. I've been a resident for 25 years. I called Fairfax county non emergency police and they were shocked to hear that my vehicle was towed for "improper display of parking permit" during the lockdown. I am home bound and unemployed due to Covid. Where am I going to find 185 dollars? Instead of towing citizens personal vehicles during this global pandemic, how about dominion towing employees and owners find a way to help its community? Shameful. Absolutely shameful. read more

I am disabled and I had a disabled placard in my rental car. I also had a pass from the office to park in visitors which is where I parked. My car was towed and I had to pay $230.00 when I live on social security. The office informed me that I was parked on the wrong side and that is why I got towed. This is unacceptable to me. I want my money returned. My car was not in violation of the parking policy because I have a disabled placard and could not park in the usual space by the office that I use because this is also against the Wexford Manor parking policy. What gives you the right to tow disabled people no matter where they're parked? read more

Very bad company services they towed my car 2 times and my car had parking sticker .

I guess they would never care about what I have to say since I'm not their customer, but the businesses that hire them are. Well, I still have to leave something here to share. Maybe the potential businesses out there will see the review and not hire them for their towing services. I got my car towed at my friend's place. I went to this place as directed. I do not curse/ use profanity. This person who was getting the record started using profanity towards me and let his anger out on me. I was very offended and threatened for my safety. I'm not talking about a business, but what kind of person use profanity to a stranger? I reached out to the management later. Their response was siding with him. I don't know what kind of people/business this is, but it's just sad. DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE. STAY AWAY. read more

What everyone else said. Obviously no one likes a towing company. However, whatever company tows from my apartment complex is significantly nicer than these lowlife predators. I was towed two days in a row at a friend's for "being in the wrong spot" even though I have a parking pass and there were plenty of open spaces. And I've attached pictures of the faded "reserved" painted on the ground that's almost impossible to see on many of the parking spaces in this lot. Especially if it's dark or rainy like it was last weekend. These pictures are in the best visibility conditions. The writing is often faded, multiple things printed on top of each other... In this parking lot specifically, spots either say reserved, resident, guest, or nothing. Mix them up once and they come back day after day to keep getting you like the lowlife predators they are. No common sense of "well they have a parking pass so they're paying to park here. And the writing isn't very clear. And there are plenty of available spots so no one is being displaced. Maybe just notify the apartment management, Maybe leave a warning or a note, Maybe move them to the correct spot, one space over" all things that my apartments towing company does. But nope, these guys just take full advantage of any situation they can. And they definitely scratched my bumper. But I know they're too shitty to care or take fault for anything. You mess up once and they're like "thats what you get!" They mess up once and they're like "thats how it goes sometimes, get over." read more

These guys work on commission and damage cars by dragging them out of their parking places. I pointed out that they should put a tow dolly under cars when they need to pull them out with their drive wheels on the pavement but they said to do that would put their driver in danger. I have lived in the county for 43 years and have had 5 complaints against tow operators all of which happen to be Dominion towing. They also do devious actions like post signs on the left side of two lane roads behind foliage so it's hard to see them. I would encourage everyone towed to file a complaint with the fairfax county consumer protection agency as I've been refunded on prior complaints. Update: I received many many many messages on this post asking me how I complained. Take pictures before you file a complaint. Dominion Towing tried to post a sign that wasn't there asserting it was there before my tow. I luckily had pictures and the compliance team did not like Dominion Towing's assertions didn't match the facts. I suggest holding back photos to let Dominion Towing make their case and use the photos later to show they do not match the assertions. Here's the complaint link AND IT WORKS!!!! http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/consumer/IQext/CSW_acs.asp Also, they talk about not dragging cars. Just look at Eric's review 2 down and you can see what they do to cars. I got the same story but literally saw them drag my car and heard my transmission popping. Update 2: what's interesting is they said they'd never paid me and in fact they had. They also won't provide me pre-tow photos of my car when they towed it despite it being in the ordinance. I've asked them four times for such photos and to this date have only received one on the opposite side of the car from the damage I found. Because I contacted them 4 times for the same request, they consider this harassing them. Why not just respond to my original request if you do not like my fervor in pursuing my rights? read more

Hopefully my experience doesn't get repeated by anyone else, but I'd like to state for the record that this location for Dominion Towing wasn't completely horrific when I had to pick up my car. I don't have a beef with the fact that they're doing their job (and efficiently, to boot). I AM a little steamed about the fact that my car was towed from a virtually empty lot at 2300 that had an unnoticeable sign against a wall of the building in a location completely invisible from anywhere NEAR where I was parked. All that aside, the guy manning the office was efficient with his duty of collecting the towing charges ($100 a pop for myself and a friend, each) and handing us our receipts. He couldn't answer any questions we had about Dominion Towing's policies and how much profit they make from each tow, but responded with something like "I just get paid." Classy. read more

They are a bunch of crooks , car was towed on 6-1 inspection sticker died 5/23 couldn't even give a fucking day for me to get new sticker . Fuck this company read more

Dominion towing has no respect for property, dragged a car 25 feet leaving tire skid marks on street so they could hook car from rear of car, they could care less about your property. Of course Ashley from dominion probably come with some idiot reply why it's okay to drag your car to tow it. What a joke Your reply Dominion Your Genesis was not dragged for 25 feet. The driver used tools that go under the rear tires and moved the car about 3 feet. Then the driver hooked up to the rear of the vehicle to tow it properly. We would have no need to drag a vehicle for 25 feet when we can get to the other side in just a few feet... Seems to me your tools leave a long skid mark, what kind of tool did you use? if you look at the photo looks like a skid mark to me Hmmmm read more

Towed my car after only 45 minutes in a 2 hour free zone. Were incredibly rude and pry on people who don't have sufficient funds.

During our lease at the apartment complex that uses Dominion Towing, signs for "No Resident Parking" were added on the floor where I would occasionally park (G1). I never noticed the newly added signs and eventually got towed. I owned up to this mistake and paid for the return of my vehicle. Fast forward 3 months (today): I parked on the street in front of our apartment. All it says is no commuter parking, 4 hour limit from 8am-12am everyday (picture attached). I came home for my lunch break and didn't feel like driving down two floors (G2; parking for residents) to park my car for an hour. So, I parked on the street since I knew it was fine. When I came out to my car, the tow truck was literally in reverse about to tow my car. The employee yelled out "Hey I'm doing you a service by not towing you. Don't park here. This is Retail Parking." We went back and forth as I asked him where it said on the sign that residents couldn't park here and where on the sign did it say that it's Retail Parking. In G1, it's indicated as being for Retail Parking. Again, not on the street. I told him G1 was No Resident Parking, NOT on the street. All he said was "You've been told!" since there's literally nothing on the sign that I was violating. If I hadn't come out to my car when I did, I'd be short $135 all because I wasn't there to have "BEEN TOLD!" Are you all relying on verbal threats to let residents know not to park on the street?... because the signs CERTAINLY DON'T TELL US THAT! Response to owner's comment: I'm a resident at the Avalon. You're speaking about the Halstead apartments. read more

Dominion Towing - Proof - Towing Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

My review seems to have disappeared, so I'll post another. On 12/14/19, my car was towed from the Avenir Pl. garage in Fairfax while I was eating lunch across the street. The apt. complex next door gave me Dominion's phone number (and that's a scam all in itself). Paid $160 for my car. Then drove back to garage. The big sign reads, FREE Retail Parking for 2 hours. In small print on the meter, it says to press the button for free parking. My meter was BROKEN, as are other meters, and I have the videos and photos of me pressing the buttons. I also met a customer in garage who told me Dominion waits there in a truck for you to park so they can tow it away, and I saw a woman in a truck sitting there. If you were towed in error, file your complaints with these two agencies. They will investigate it for you. I called Dominion yesterday, and the clerk told me it was too late on a Saturday to call! https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/consumercomplaint/ https://www.bbb.org/ (Better Business Bureau) read more

This is a scary business. They towed me from a lot that was adjacent to 2 businesses (Walmart and Dunkin Donuts) but said I was only allowed to park and go to the stores on the sign - Dunkin Donuts was one of them. I went to Walmart first to dash in for an item and was gone for a total of 15 minutes intending to then go to the Dunkin Donuts, but in that 15 minutes I was towed and had to go searching for my car. When I tried to explain (and then complain) I was blown off by the rude desk clerk who responded with profanities. I think it is guilt-driven rudeness that gives towing companies such a bad rap. They know that often what they are doing is wrong and unfair but choose the dollar over their better judgment. The word that comes to mind in this case is "unethical." When I said Merry Christmas to the desk clerk as I as walking out, he responded "F--- You!" read more

Unfortunately my car was towed this morning however the process to retrieve it was very quick, simple, and efficient.
