A Tow Yard is a designated area where vehicles that have been towed are stored. This can happen for various reasons, such as illegal parking, accidents, or abandonment. Tow yards are typically operated by towing companies and are equipped to handle a variety of vehicles, from cars to trucks. In a tow yard, vehicles are usually secured to prevent theft or vandalism. Owners must pay a fee to retrieve their vehicles, which can include towing charges and storage fees. The process is regulated by local laws, ensuring that vehicle owners have a way to reclaim their property after it has been towed.
