Queen Creek has transformed from a rural community to a thriving suburb with master-planned communities and modern retail centers. As the town grows, abandoned vehicle situations have become more common in both residential communities and commercial parking areas. Property managers in Queen Creek need a towing partner who covers this expanding service area.

For property owners, it costs nothing. Under Arizona's private property impound (PPI) model, all towing and storage fees are paid by the vehicle owner when they retrieve their car. Property owners, HOAs, and apartment complexes pay zero.
