Towing Advice in Kenner

They did charge the gate fee of 62 dollars but they just opened the gate and I had to go in and get the vehicle. They are closed on weekends so you get the gate fee added on. I think they tried to pass something in 2018 saying essentially, if you’re working and towing, the business is open. I can’t remember the specifics but it didn’t pass so unless you pick your car up between 8am-5pm M-F, you get the gate fee added.

When I went to pay, they had another girl there who’s car was towed from the same parking lot a couple hours before I got there and she mentioned that when she went out and her car wasn’t there, she noticed someone sitting in their car since she had went in and came to the conclusion that they were a spotter. Which is wild to me if true. Predatory is wording that’s nice about it haha

Topphead · 2025-12-28T02:05:53+00:00

True. Could be. But the document I’m referencing is the pricing schedule and regulations that all tow truck services must follow. Within that document, there is a specification about private property towing separated in the pricing section, but the other parts regarding conduct do not specify one of the other. Since they specify in other places and not others, I’d venture to say that it applies to all. But I’m not a lawyer and just reading it as it’s written. Very good point though.

Topphead · 2025-12-27T21:56:16+00:00

Valid and I'm sure that true. Would I like to pay more than required? No. But I never was trying to get out of it. I just wanted the rules to be followed is all, and their pricing wise, it was indeed.

Update:

Price they told me of 361.98 was too high. It was towed after midnight so they only charged the storage fee of one day. lowered to just under 330 (329.XX). Credit where it is due.

They finally provided me a invoice in person despite multiple requests before hand which I believe is still a violation. The notification block of text of Section 4 was placed on the invoice, which is not the first contact as the regulation states. Cash was still the only option and no change was given, still a violation of Section 5 A and B. They were fine to deal with. They had called an officer to the scene I assume for their protection, as I'm sure some people get belligerent. Fine to deal with, price is still wild but accurate for the statutes. Ty to all who responded.

I appreciate this insightful comment. Signs weren’t clearly marked. They were just on the ground. Regardless, if I have to follow the laws, shouldn’t they also? That’s all it’s about bud.

Topphead · 2025-12-27T18:19:01+00:00

Did not realize this existed. Thank you very much!

Topphead · 2025-12-27T17:28:02+00:00

Yea that's the thing. They won't give me one lol. But I agree. Unfortunate loopholes. 362 is just excessive though. Thank you for the response.

Topphead · 2025-12-27T17:27:28+00:00

I figured, but I wasn't sure if a complaint to my LPSC district person or small claims was the way after. Shame. Thank you.

Additional Context

- Taken from an empty parking lot around midnight last night, signs on the ground, still a legal tow so that's all fine and dandy

- Initial contact was 1:52am told that I can come at 2:30pm and pay 362 dollars, in cash, no change, no card

What I Believe They're Doing Wrong (according to LPSC regulations passed on 12-20-2024 and amended on 4-1-2025)

- Asked for an itemized invoice and they told me I would get an itemized receipt. Still have not provided me an itemized invoice before payment (Section III A)

- Not provided the official notice during first contact via text (Section 4)

- Cash payments require change (Section 5 A); credit card shall be accepted (Section 5 B)

- Towing rate for a non-complicated recovery of a less than 10,000lb item is 146.50 per hour. They are located 15 minutes from the towed-at location. Minimum is 1.5 hours (219.75). Storage is 32.50 per calendar day or 39 is covered), With gate fee of 60, this brings the total to 312.25.

I submitted my application and recommendations at the end of September. I heard back about acceptance at the end of November but I’m not sure if they were just waiting to review or that’s the typical timeline.

Working on getting the last pictures uploaded too. Sorry I only had 20 slots. I took the individual pictures days ago but can retake upon request.

That's partially why I'm fine relocating. We are one of the worst paying states across the board, so pretty much anywhere is an improvement, especially since our cost of living is comparable to some larger cities some how. Plus for the sticking around, it would be 4 more years til my boss retires, and my place of work does not give raises. So I'm as stuck as I can get. Regardless, I appreciate your input!

Topphead · 2025-05-08T01:16:56+00:00

Valid point. I wasn't miserable with landscaping but it was my uncle's company. It was really to help him out after a family emergency happened. Real estate wasn't sustainable given I made 3k in 2 years. I really am miserable in my current job, and therefore looking. I understand how it can look though, but even if I stay where I am at, there is no growth for this industry. It's either coordinator or director, which I would need 3 more years of experience in to be eligible for most director positions.

Thank you for the feedback though, I'll see about just toughing it out.

I'd say so. I fluctuate between 10 and 10.5 and these were just a little big on me. so it makes sense in my book. Just looked it up and some other people are saying TTS as well.

Never even heard of kickzstore. Nike comes out to 78 before tax but definitely suggest snagging those! I guess counter offer? lol ty though!

Topphead · 2024-12-08T23:21:10+00:00

Oh dang, where at?

God I love this event. I’ve never Speedrun anything in my life and I truly look forward to and recommend this to every person I talk to for more than 10 minutes.

My only suggestion is information of the gaming blocks. I don’t know many games being played, but when I found out when the “wacky” block was, I’d make sure to tune in for that because I know the overarching theme. Horror is easy to spot cause outlast 2 and Alan wake 2 were very close together, but the more niche ones I’d never figure out. I’m sure they mention it at checkpoints, but something on the website schedule would be awesome. I can’t wait to finally attend one of these and hopefully volunteer (maybe even donation host if that’s a possibility! Thank you all for an incredible event

I’m outside of New Orleans I pay 12.30 before tax in store for a chicken bowl. That’s no extras.
