In a letter sent from JSO to ASAP Towing, an investigation determined that the company was warned in January and “continues to ignore compliance with the city’s municipal ordinance.”According to the letter, JSO investigated several complaints about ASAP towing more than a dozen cars from apartment complexes without approval from the properties. Ultimately, the company was forced to return the cars to their owners.
Serrano defended his company’s actions, explaining to the JSO detective that the manager signing for the removal of the vehicle only had to be on-premise.Serrano’s concern was for the manager’s safety. Serrano went on to say that JSO will not accept any feedback but their own and that no one at the sheriff’s office has been listening.Asap Towing has been providing towing in Jacksonville Florida since 1995. We have been in business for 28 years. We have been providing towing for the Jacksonville’s Sheriff’s office for 26 years. Vince Serrano ,The Owner, who served in The US Military Intelligence division with the 82nd Airborne Division held a top security clearance and served honorably.
We filed our lawsuit in February of 2023 in County Court because we were not seeking monetary compensation, only an Opinion of the Court. The City argued that this belonged in Circuit Court. My attorney Kevin Sanders conceded so it could move forward. Once it was moved to Circuit Court the City Attorney argued it didn’t belong their because we weren’t seeking monetary claims.
So, because I seek to understand the meaning of the law and I question our Sheriff then I am penalized for being a smart businessman.
