“They towed my car.”
First, we’re sorry that happened to you. Portland and South Portland have aggressive parking enforcement. It is easy to misread the signs. The regulations change with zones to accommodate street cleaning and snow removal. Sadly, for many their first awareness of these facts come when they find that their car went missing.
Your car could be with a number of towing companies. If found this page before calling the police department, you should first call them. If they tell you that Ocean Street Auto has your vehicle then call us at 767-7073.
Procedure and Fees
If we towed your vehicle, we will release it to you once you have paid the fees unless there are other restrictions place on you by the police. If, for example you were towed for not paying your parking tickets you will have to pay them before we can give you your car.
To get your vehicle come to our shop at 310 Main Street, South Portland Maine. Once you pay the appropriate fees, we will take you to our impound lot (less than 5 minutes away) and release your car. The towing fee is between $100 and 1$25. We charge storage beginning at 5 PM on the day your car was towed. Storage fees range between $30 and $50 per day.
Salvage and Private Towing
If you have an old vehicle that you would like to dispose of, we will pick it up for free within the greater Portland area. If the car is a 1995 or later, we will need the title.
