    Sometime I gotta tell you guys about a car I tried to get but the guy was smart and a dick. Took me 6 months but I got his damn van. He was pissed, property owners were happy as hell.

    Thats the thing. I'm assuming everyone else got a notification, BUT I personally did not. If I knew of course I would have reparked. When i was looking for my truck around the complex there are other cars that were towed as well, evident by skid marks.

    When I spoke with the office they showed me the flyer, which she told me they put on the doors. I didn't receive one, so its "here say". nonetheless doesn't change the fact my car was towed, not impounded, but towed. I'm just concerned about the skid marks left. Taking my truck in tomorrow to have it looked at ill post an update.

    hopefully like everyone said its just the tires. If it is the tires great. gives me an excuse with the misses to upgrade.

    As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread...your tires people are fine as an emergency stop engaging ABS is probably worse on them than what this tow did

    I'd be more concerned about the parking brake parts

    Parking brake should be good. The park Pawl stopped wheels from rolling, hence the skids.

    All good. Only thing that I don't like about this is the lazy add tow driver. Could've done the job right and you wouldn't know a vehicle was parked there. Was the truck a 4x4?

    Looking at the 2nd pic, it was on dollies or go jacks, just not done right.you can see where the metal gouged the black top.

    I think OP said there was no bill to pay. Vehicle wasn't towed to an impound lot, just relocated so that the scheduled work could be completed.
