Towed by Talon?
Talon Towing and Transport holds the vehicles it tows on Talon premises until they are released to the legal owner or a legal representative. One call confirms where your vehicle is and what to bring — dispatch answers 24-hour dispatch, 7 days a week.
After the tow
When a vehicle Talon tows is not going straight to a shop, a dealership or your driveway — after an accident scene or a recovery, or when the owner cannot be reached — it is held in Talon's auto storage yard, with any personal property inside it, until the legal owner or a legal representative signs for its release.
