Retrieving a Towed Vehicle

If your vehicle was towed by the Ypsilanti Police Department, it will be towed by
Wall Street/Budget Towing

Only the registered owner of the vehicle can obtain the vehicle release. Please bring a photo ID, preferably your driver’s license with you. There is no cost for the release form.

Wall Street Towing will not allow owners to enter their property or view a vehicle without a release form.

Vehicles Towed Due to Unpaid Parking Tickets

Vehicles may be towed if the owner amasses 6 or more unpaid parking citations. If your vehicle was towed for this reason, you will first need to pay all outstanding tickets. 
  1. Call the City Treasurer’s office at 734-483-1103 to find out the amount due.
  2. Go to the City Treasurer's office at City Hall or the Police Records Bureau at the Police Department and pay the amount due. Payment  may be made with cash or credit; the City of Ypsilanti accepts all major credit cards but does charge a convenience fee of 3%. You will get a paid receipt.  
  3. Take your paid receipt and your picture ID to Wall Street/Budget Towing.  Note that the towing company does charge additional fees for both the impound and the vehicle storage.
