The “Tow Destination” is your office/lot
The “Tow Company Rep” is the person entering the vehicle information
The “Driver” is the name of the person who performed the tow
This information will be saved and can be edited as necessary
If reporting a repossession, check the “Check if Repossession” check box and enter

The shaded fields are required fields and the non-shaded fields permit the user to provide additional information and notes
After all required information is entered and you have checked the “I’m not a robot” check box, click on the “Submit” button to submit your impound/repo and you will receive a confirmation number.
Make sure you record the confirmation number, as it is needed to record changes on the tow record.
Adding Pictures

An image of the uploaded photo will appear in the grey box.
