Frequently asked questions

What signage is required for legal impound towing in Ohio?

Ohio law requires clearly visible signs at each entrance to the property stating that unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense, along with the towing company name and phone number.

How quickly can you remove an unauthorized vehicle?

Contracted properties receive priority dispatch. Most metro calls are reached in 20–40 minutes, with blocked fire lanes and access points prioritized.

Who pays for the impound tow?

The vehicle owner pays all towing and storage fees directly to us when they retrieve their vehicle. There is no cost to the property owner or manager.

What happens if the vehicle owner disputes the tow?

Our thorough documentation — including timestamped photos, GPS records, and signage compliance records — protects against disputes. We handle all owner interactions.

Can you tow from handicap spaces and fire lanes?

Yes. Fire lanes and accessible-parking spaces are generally enforceable on sight under Ohio law and local ordinance. We confirm the specific rules and signage for your property when we set up the account.

Is there a tow yard near me? Where is your impound lot in Columbus?

Our tow yard is at 1620 Harrisburg Pike, Columbus, OH 43223, just inside I-270 on the southwest side with quick access to I-71 and I-270. If your car was towed from private property by Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc, that is where it is. We do not release vehicles from other companies' lots — if another company towed you, check the tow-away sign at the property for their name and number.

What are the hours to get my car out of the tow yard, and what do I bring?

Call (740) 812-9489 before you come — dispatch answers 24 hours a day and arranges the release; the office itself is staffed Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Bring a government photo ID, proof that you own or are authorized to take the vehicle (registration, title, or a lender or insurer authorization), and payment. Towing and storage fees for private-property tows follow the rate caps set by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and are quoted when you call. We accept cash, debit and credit cards.

Do you offer contracts for apartment complexes?

Yes. We provide dedicated impound contracts for apartment complexes, condos, HOAs, shopping centers, and office parks throughout the Columbus metro area.
