Built by an attorney who reads the fine print for a living

Everything that matters after a tow is public information that is annoyingly hard to find at 7 AM on a phone: the city's fee schedule, the impound lot's address and hours, the statute that says which tows are allowed, and the law that makes the lot hand over your medicine whether or not you've paid. This site puts all of it in one place, in plain English, with every number citing the city's own source and its date.

Where a city publishes nothing, this site says so instead of guessing. St. Paul, for example, publishes no maximum for private-property tow fees; our page says exactly that. We are filling those gaps city by city with Minnesota Government Data Practices Act requests to city clerks, and each city's data goes live here as its documents arrive.

MN Tow Buddy is not a law firm and I'm not your lawyer: reading this site does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the guides are education, not legal advice about your tow. The site is not a towing company, not an impound lot, and not affiliated with any city or the State of Minnesota. No towing company, body shop, or clinic pays to appear here or to be recommended, and none ever will, because we recommend no one.

One disclosed exception to "this site sends nothing anywhere": if your car was towed after a crash and you choose to send the basics to me for a free look, that request goes to me at Robert Wilson & Associates, and nowhere else. It is never sold, never shared, and never treated as a marketing lead. That is disclosed on the form, in the privacy policy, and here. Attorney advertising.
