Towing

Consumer complaints against towing and recovery operators and tow truck drivers operating in Virginia generally may be filed with our office. However, not all towing complaints fall within our jurisdiction. For example, complaints alleging violations of local ordinances should be filed with the appropriate local office.

The Department of Criminal Justice Services is responsible for the registration of tow truck drivers operating in Virginia. Inquiries concerning whether a particular driver is registered should be directed to that Department.
