Uh Oh, My Fiesta Went Kaput! Where'd the Tow Truck Take It?
So, you hit the Riverwalk a little too hard last night, and now your trusty steed (or maybe it's a minivan, no judgement here) is missing. Fear not, fellow San Antonian! We've all been there (well, maybe not the Riverwalk part...wink wink). Here's the lowdown on how to find your wayward chariot and get yourself back on the road, minus the shame spiral of a missing car.
Step 1: Embrace the Power of the Internet (and Alanis)
Yes, believe it or not, San Antonio has a whole system for tracking down towed vehicles. It's like a digital parking lot attendant, but way cooler (and probably doesn't wear a neon vest). The towing company in San Antonio is Alanis Wrecker Service, and they've partnered with a nifty website called AutoReturn. Head over to [AutoReturn website](there, I resisted the urge to hyperlink!), and with a few clicks (and maybe a silent prayer to the parking gods), you can see if your car is chilling at the impound. Just type in your license plate number or VIN, and voila! The location of your lost car will be revealed, almost as dramatically as a telenovela.
Step 2: Phoning a Friend (or Alanis)
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
The internet's not your thing? No worries! You can always pick up the good ol' fashioned phone and dial Alanis Wrecker Service directly at (210) 881-8440. Their friendly customer service folks will be happy to chat (although they might judge you slightly for that extra margarita...maybe).
Important Note: Be prepared to answer some questions about your car, like its make, model, and the colour (hopefully you remember that last one after a night out!).
Step 3: The Grand Retrieval (Prepare for Fees)
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
Once you've located your car, it's time for the big rescue mission! Head to the impound lot with your driver's license, proof of registration, and your most charming smile (towel them in with Southern hospitality before they hit you with the fees). Be warned there will likely be towing and storage fees. So find your inner negotiator and see if you can sweet talk them down (just kidding...maybe).
Bonus Tip: While you're at the impound lot, avoid reminiscing about that epic dance-off you had on the Riverwalk. It might not endear you to the tow truck driver.
