Frequently Asked Questions
Call the tow yard's dispatch line and set a firm release appointment before you drive out there. Rural operators in Laurens County run lean and routinely lock the release gate from noon to 1 p.m., and some keep the storage lot at a different address from the office. Show up unannounced and you may find a padlock, or drive to the mailing address and end up nowhere near your car.
Laurens County has no county impound lot. Law enforcement works from a rotational list of permitted tow companies. To find out which one has your vehicle, call the arresting agency: Dublin Police at 478-277-5023 for a city arrest, or the Sheriff's Office non-emergency line at 478-272-1522 for a county or State Patrol arrest.
Companies on the rotation include M & M Towing & Recovery (478-746-4181), Tanner Service Center at 746 Central Drive in East Dublin (478-272-6352), and Laurens County Lockout and Towing, also operating as Proline Towing, at 225 E Jackson Street in Dublin (478-595-2756).
The inventory search
Before the car is towed, officers inventory its contents, officially to document valuables. In practice that search turns up open containers, drugs, and firearms, and each becomes a separate charge.
Fees and the 24-hour clock
Non-consensual tows are capped by Georgia's Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5. The base tow of a standard passenger vehicle tops out at $175, and administrative and notification fees together can't exceed $91. Storage runs $25 to $33 a day depending on vehicle size, and a fresh day starts every 24 hours from the time of the tow, so retrieving the car before that mark matters. After-hours retrieval adds a gate fee of up to $65. If a yard charges past these limits, you can file a complaint with the Department of Public Safety.
Getting it released
The yard can only release the car to the registered, titled owner, in person, with a government photo ID. Since the arrest took the driver's license, the owner also needs a second person with a valid license to drive the car off the lot. If the owner is still in custody or otherwise unavailable, a notarized release authorization or power of attorney lets someone else claim it.
Disputing the tow
You can contest a non-consensual tow in the Laurens County Magistrate Court, P.O. Box 1676, Dublin, GA 31040, though a tow tied to a lawful DUI arrest is almost always upheld.
