Viligant towing and Impound are modern day crooks attempting to distort the law towards thier advantage and betting that us common folk are so uneducated and beat down that we do not know our laws and rights. I am writing this to formally address the illegal towing of my vehicle from the AMF Bowling property earlier today September 26, 2026
I had my car break down last night and as it was very late i planned on parking it on AMF Bowling since they are a private owned buisness. I live right down the street and felt it would be safe. At around 10 am my husband and I made our way down to the bowling ally and discovered it was gone. We went in and were directed to Bob. The manager of this establishment. Bob was amazing and has helped us.all day . He looked at the video for us and let us know what information he could so we could track down the tow company. He alse stated he is the one that calls for tows and no they do not have a contract with any towing compnay .Bob was very gracious and also contacted the property owner and they confirmed they do not have a contract with your towing company, and they referred this matter to their legal department. Despite this, your company falsely reported to the police that a contract existed. Furthermore, the report was filed in Peoria, even though the incident occurred in Phoenix--a mistake your staff dismissed as an entry error.
Under Arizona law, a vehicle towed from private property must be released upon presentation of proper identification. Withholding a vehicle or demanding payment prior to release is illegal, as any fee disputes must be pursued through small claims court. Additionally, the $300 fee demanded by your employee, Jason, exceeds the local fee cap.
After speaking with a Phoenix Police Sergeant, a second officer was dispatched to the scene, and after talking with Bob and taking pictures of the property he found so signage- which directly contradicted what a empoyee of your company stated; saying there are signs posted everywhere . Following this police involvement, your company offered to release the vehicle, contradicting earlier statements from your yard workers that the facility was closed and staff were unable to process a release. The owner Alex contacted AMF bowling trying to get our number so that he could get in contact with us. Which leads us to believe that thier is no clear communication between that staff/and the owner as they have our contact info.
This situation resulted in the loss of a full day's wages and significant distress. Due to these unlawful actions and improper reporting, I will be reporting your company to the relevant regulatory authorities and seeking legal counsel.
During these hard economic times that us hard working Americans are going through it is incredibly disappointing and distressing to see a company have fradualent and predatory tactects
I urge anyone who comes accross vigilant towing and impound to stand up for your rights and do not let them scare you and extort you. Reporting these type of modern day criminals is the only way we can hold them accountable . read more
