Denver investigation reveals discrepancies in towing fees and storage facility addresses

The recent government meeting held on April 22, 2025, in Colorado focused on the case involving EA Towing, Inc., specifically addressing concerns related to towing practices and associated fees. The discussions highlighted discrepancies in invoicing and the legitimacy of charges levied against customers.

During the meeting, Investigator Potts presented evidence regarding a towing incident that occurred on October 16, 2024. The investigation revealed that the towing company had charged fees that may not have been compliant with state regulations. Specifically, two additional fees totaling $75 were identified as potentially improper, as they were not permissible under law enforcement towing circumstances. The company also charged an administrative fee of $75, which is typically allowed for statutory search and notification services.

A significant point of contention arose regarding the addresses associated with the towing yard. The official address on file was 7880 Welby Road, while another address, 8280 Welby Road, was mentioned in the context of the investigation. Investigator Potts noted that the latter address had been canceled in 2020, raising questions about the legitimacy of the towing operations at that location.

The towing company’s representative, Mr. Ronald, acknowledged clerical errors in documentation and expressed a willingness to correct the invoices. He clarified that the towing service was performed correctly and authorized by law enforcement, but admitted to confusion regarding the addresses and fees charged.

The meeting concluded with the acknowledgment that a written decision regarding the case would be issued within 30 to 45 days. This decision will determine the outcome of the allegations against EA Towing, Inc., and whether any penalties or corrective actions will be enforced. The case underscores the importance of compliance with towing regulations and accurate record-keeping in the towing industry.
