Why Share Towing Information?


Each day in the US over 30,000 cars are relocated without the owner’s consent through law enforcement tows, private property tows, weather emergencies and lien holder repossessions. Coupled with the reality that a typical metropolitan area may have numerous law enforcement agencies residing in overlapping and adjacent jurisdictions, hundreds of storage lots and wrecker drivers, and thousands of private property owners, finding a towed car can be a daunting, if not costly and time-consuming, task.

Many towed vehicles are never recovered because they cannot be found or because the owner walks away when the storage bill exceeds the actual value of the vehicle. As a result the national average for recovering a towed car is 5-7 days and abandonment rates are greater than 25%.

Why? Stakeholders in the towing lifecycle are unable to share data.

C:LOGIC’s Vehicle Information-Sharing and Notification Service (VINS) provides the most effective way to track and manage a towed vehicle. C:LOGIC “connects-the-dots” by facilitating information sharing, not only among stakeholders in the towing lifecycle within a given community, but between local area cities and counties, as well. VINS provides a single, authoritative source for ALL relevant information for anyone impacted by a non-consent tow.

The collaborative benefits achieved through data-sharing provide relief to overburdened law enforcement officials, cost effective compliance reporting for the towing & storage industry, a positive image for state and local governments, and most importantly, a single place where citizens can type in their license plate and find their towed car.
