# How Property Managers Can Respond to Resident Complaints About Towing
Resident towing complaints are easier to handle when the property has clear rules, visible signage, documented authorization, and accurate release instructions.
If your property needs a cleaner towing communication process, call 480-288-5526 or contact Axle.
Quick answer
When a resident complains about towing, do not argue from memory. Reference the property rules, documentation, signage, authorization record, and the towing company's current release instructions.
Response checklist
| Step | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Vehicle identity | Plate, make/model, and owner report. |
| Tow reason | Reserved space, abandoned vehicle, blocked access, unauthorized parking, or rule violation. |
| Authorization | Who approved the tow and when. |
| Documentation | Photos, time, location, and violation notes. |
| Release instructions | Current phone number and release-hours wording. |
| Resident communication | Whether parking rules were provided before enforcement. |
Why release-hour wording matters
Use clear language:
Towing dispatch is available 24/7. Vehicle release and office visits follow posted hours or arrangement. Call 480-288-5526 for current instructions.
That reduces the biggest expectation mismatch.
Why use Axle for complaint reduction?

Best next step
If a vehicle needs to move now, call 480-288-5526. If complaints are recurring, request a property review and review signage, rules, authorization, and communication.
