San Francisco

A towing company in San Francisco has been banned from receiving city contracts for the next five years after illegally towing vehicles, officials said Tuesday.

City Attorney David Chiu announced that his office was granted a request to ban the company Auto Towing LLC, saying the company engaged in 'predatory behavior' along with 'unfair business practices.''This company intentionally misled and scammed people out of hundreds of dollars by illegally towing cars. Our City has no interest in contracting with exploitative businesses engaged in illegal conduct,' Chiu said in a statement Tuesday.

The company had also allegedly limited the times when vehicles could be retrieved and pressured vehicle owners to pay in cash.Chiu said the victims were primarily Spanish-speaking and Cantonese-speaking residents, which he said are vulnerable to predatory tows.Under the California Vehicle Code, owners have the right to retrieve towed vehicles 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and the right to pay with cash or credit card.
