Frequently Asked Questions
Robertson County has no central impound lot. Springfield police and the Sheriff's Office both run a rotating wrecker list, so your car went to whichever private company was next up. The police hold the dispatch log, so the first move is to call the arresting agency's non-emergency records line, for Springfield police that is 615-384-8422, and have them tell you which company towed it. Do not wait for the tow company to mail a notice; storage fees are running the whole time. The companies on the rotation include Chosen Towing & Recovery on Stevenson Lane, E & E Towing Service, and STR Towing & Recovery.
These are small businesses, and the way they run creates traps. The release office is often locked and unstaffed for lunch, roughly noon to 1:00, so call ahead and get an actual appointment with the clerk. The office also stops processing releases around 4:00 or 4:30 even if the yard stays open until 5:00, so plan to be there with your paperwork and certified funds by 3:30. Many of these lots sit in industrial areas on the edge of town with no real signage, and some do not let civilian cars into the yard at all, handling everything at a perimeter fence, so ask for gate instructions when you call.
The ownership rule is the hard part. Your license was probably taken by the officer at the arrest, but the tow lot needs a valid license to release the car. The registered owner has to appear in person to sign the release, with another government photo ID, proof of current insurance, and the current registration, and they have to bring a second person with a valid license to actually drive the car off the lot.
Move fast. Daily storage keeps adding up on weekends and holidays, and a car left too long gets a mechanic's lien and is sold at auction. If you think the tow was improper, you can file a hearing in the Robertson County General Sessions Court, but get the car back first.
