My first and only encounter with a towing company taught me the regulations and pricing set by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) are extremely friendly to the towing industry. Citizens who are victimized by companies that take advantage of the favorable regulatory system have very little rights and virtually no method to remedy an abuse. Here is my story which concerns Milehigh Towing and Recovery. However, there are many complaints against another towing company called
First of all please dont confuse MileHigh Towing and Recovery owned by Michael Nowlin with Mile High Towing. This review concerns MileHigh Towing and Recovery. If youre going to write a note, make sure you identify the right towing company.
I parked at a private lot at 765
So the towing company sits lurking in the adjacent lot (State of
Later in the evening, I recovered my car at MileHigh Towing and Recoverys impoundment lot at 4300 Elati and paid the money. The receipt shows that it took the tow truck driver 30 minutes to transport the car to 4300 Elati. Now it doesnt take a CPA like me to calculate the bill equates to $275 an hour, an amount which exceeds just about every occupation out there.
Here are my concerns:
After a little research, I found that the adjacent lot where the tow truck parks is located on State of
I believe the tow driver lied to me when he told me he could not give me a ride to their location because of insurance liability issues. If this was the case, then he would leave all customers haplessly stranded on highways and other dangerous locations as he tows their broken down cars away.
The driver did not disclose the various fees associated with the towing charge, only that the fee is $275 cash. If he would have informed me that $275 includes an after hours pick-up fee of $66, I would have picked up the car the next day and saved $66. This is all part of their nefarious scheme.
The MileHigh signs at the parking lot are very small and appear insignificant. Their signs are designed to minimize the possibility of towing and to downplay the excessive and unreasonable expense of $275 to recover vehicles that have been towed.
If youre interested in putting a stop to these predatory practices, email me. I have some ideas to combat this company, but I will need help.

I had a similiar experience with Milehigh towing and restoration. Am interested in your ideas for dealing with this predatory practice. It's been over a year; have you gotten any satisfaction?

Ryan Dunn is not actually the contact for the parking lot. 765 Logan is actually rented to Governors Park Lofts, LLC / Benjamin Armas (aka Benny of Benny's Restaurant & Tequila Bar). If you have any concerns about the way you were treated, you may contact Benny directly at (303) 885-1863 or at the restaurant at (303) 894-0788 or bennysrestaurant@hotmail.com. You may also contact the company responsible for managing the parking lot:

Total Scam

Myself and two other ladies were victims of this companies scam just last night. I did pay to park in the lot at Logan & 7th, and another lady witnessed me putting money into the slot. An hour and a half later when I came out from dinner, my car, and these two other ladies cars had been towed. Mile High Towing demanded $300 cash only to get our cars back.
I don't find it a coincidence that this company had a spy picking out people's car's to be towed. Three well dressed ladies driving nice cars whom all happened to be towed is not a coincidence. It was an easy way for this sleazy company to make $1000 cash in one evening.
We did call the police, and they deal with this company multiple times a week. Do not trust this company, do not use this company and call the police and make sure you protect your safety when going to the "lot" they keep your car at. It has no lights, and very vicious dogs guarding the premises.

Sorry to hear your vehicle was towed. It sounds like a few things could have been done to prevent this from happening. The lot you parked in seems to be near downtown Denver;nothing in downtown is free. I would have been more aware of my surroundings. The second thing I would have done is most clubs/resturaunts/bars downtown have their own private parking lot. I would have googled the particular establishment or called and asked of the had specific parking for their place. Most downtown parking lots have fairly large paid parking boxes that are not easily missed. Not sure why you choose not to pay but I'd rather be safe then sorry. Also last but not least, most companies downtown have security guards or parking enforcement. Dont assume its always the "bad people out to get you" maybe to just got caught yourself not following rules by parking where you shouldnt have or not paying for your parking.
