Lee’s Summit experiences heavy traffic during weekends and peak hours, especially around popular retail and leisure areas. If your business is near Downtown Lee’s Summit on a Friday night or your restaurant sits by a park hosting a weekend soccer tournament, you know how outsiders may try to sneak into your parking spots. Our weekend & peak hour enforcement is designed for exactly these scenarios. PPI positions trucks and staff strategically during high-traffic times – for instance, Friday and Saturday evenings around the downtown bar/restaurant district, or Saturday mornings by the busy Farmers Market – to catch and tow unauthorized vehicles using your lot. We also cover peak weekday rush, if needed (e.g., lunch hour issues at office complexes). By being present when parking misuse is most likely, we deter drivers from even attempting to park illegally. Those who still try quickly find their car hooked up and removed. With PPI’s vigilant enforcement during Lee’s Summit’s peak periods, your lot will serve your customers and residents first, as it should. No more losing spots to random park-goers or festival attendees; we keep your parking flowing smoothly even at the busiest times.
Keeps Parking for the Right People: With PPI on your side, reserved parking stays available for residents, tenants, and customers in Lee’s Summit. We act decisively to ensure that those who pay for or are entitled to parking can actually find a space, rather than circling because someone else unlawfully took it.
No More Parking Abuse: Our service prevents abuse by freeloaders who might see your lot as an easy option. Close to downtown? We stop bar hoppers from using your business lot after hours. Near an apartment complex? We stop people from storing extra vehicles on your property. The common theme: we curb parking abuse so your property isn’t taken advantage of.
Signage and Agreements Done Right: One of the things Lee’s Summit clients appreciate is that we handle the private property towing signage requirements and paperwork seamlessly. We’ll post all needed “Tow-Away Zone” signs (meeting Missouri and any local specs) around your property, so you’re covered legally and visually. Plus, we sign a towing services agreement with you that clearly lays out our role and your authorization. This transparent agreement (essentially a template tailored to your property) means whenever you call us, there’s no question we’re acting with permission – it’s already on file.
Customized Solutions & Policy Enforcement: PPI isn’t a one-size-fits-all operation. We know each property in Lee’s Summit might have its own rules – maybe you have an unauthorized vehicle policy that differs from another property’s. We take the time to learn your rules (like “visitor parking only allowed in marked spots” or “no parking on grass or along curbs”) and we enforce them as if they’re law. We also provide guidance and templates if you’re developing a parking policy. In short, we become an extension of your management team, upholding your specific parking regulations consistently.
Fast Response, Hometown Service: Although we cover the whole KC region, we treat Lee’s Summit with the importance it deserves – which is why we have towing units that cover Eastern Jackson County and can be in Lee’s Summit quickly. Often, we can arrive within 20-30 minutes or sooner when a call comes in, far faster than any city or general towing service would respond. Our 24/7 availability means if a wrong car is in your lot at 2:00 AM, you won’t wait till morning to handle it. Being fast and local is part of our “urban-direct” approach – we solve the problem immediately.
If you encounter an unauthorized vehicle on your property in Lee’s Summit, the immediate step is to contact a reliable private towing company to remove it. First, ensure that the vehicle is indeed unauthorized – not, say, a guest you forgot about or a tenant’s second car that you weren’t informed of. Assuming it’s trespassing, make sure you have the appropriate towing warning sign visible on your property (if you don’t, we can still tow, but it’s strongly recommended to post one for legal protection – PPI can install signs for you). Then, call Private Party Impound at 816-777-8800. We operate 24/7 and have trucks that serve the Lee’s Summit area. Our dispatcher will gather necessary info (location, vehicle description) and send a driver your way promptly. Do not take matters into your own hands by confronting the driver or trying to block them – let our professionals handle it to avoid any altercation. Once on site, our driver will verify the authorization (we often work with you or have a contract on file) and then safely tow the vehicle to our impound lot. We notify the local police about the tow as required by law, so you’re covered. From your perspective, the car will be gone and your space free, typically within a short time. So the answer: contact PPI to have the car removed – we make it simple and legal, returning your parking to you.
You, as a private property owner or manager, have the right to initiate a tow of an unauthorized vehicle on your property in Missouri, which includes Lee’s Summit. However, the law requires that the actual towing is done by a licensed towing company – you can’t physically tow it yourself (unless you happen to own a towing service). The process is: you authorize the tow (either by a written agreement or a signature at the time of tow), and the tow company executes it. The law also expects certain conditions: typically, there should be a sign posted warning that unauthorized vehicles will be towed, and the tow operator must immediately inform law enforcement after removal. Assuming those are met, yes, you can have it towed. Missouri state law (and local regulations) back you up on removing trespassers from your property. To put it plainly, you absolutely can remove a car from your private property, but do it the right way by calling a professional service like PPI. We handle the heavy lifting (literally) and the legal notifications. This way the vehicle owner can’t successfully claim the tow was improper, because all steps were followed. And remember, as the property owner, you don’t pay us – the vehicle owner does, upon retrieving their vehicle, as allowed by law. So it’s in your interest to use our service to enforce your rights without cost or risk to you.
Dealing with an abandoned vehicle on your property can be frustrating, but PPI makes it manageable. If a car has been left abandoned – meaning it’s been there for an extended time with no contact from an owner, possibly visibly inoperable or not moved – you should treat it similarly to any unauthorized vehicle: call us to remove it. In practice, here’s how it works: We’ll dispatch a tow truck to pick up the vehicle. We then follow Missouri’s legal procedure for abandoned vehicles. This involves notifying the Lee’s Summit Police (which we do within the required timeframe post-tow) and also sending notice to the Missouri Department of Revenue and last known owner/lienholder via certified mail that the vehicle was towed from private property as abandoned. There’s a holding period defined by law during which the owner can claim the vehicle from our lot. If not claimed, the vehicle may be processed for title sale or destruction under state guidelines. As the property owner, once you’ve called us and we’ve towed the vehicle, your part is essentially done. It’s a good idea (and often required) that you had a sign posted or provided some notice, but even if not, if the vehicle truly had no right to be there, it can be removed. We handle all the procedures to remove an abandoned vehicle legally, so you don’t need to navigate state forms or junking processes yourself. Many times, abandoned vehicles can be eyesores or safety hazards – removing them improves your property and possibly your liability stance. So don’t hesitate: if it looks abandoned and you want it gone, we’ll take care of it, fully compliant with Missouri law.
In Lee’s Summit, for unauthorized vehicles on private property, you should call a private towing service (PPI) first in almost all cases. The local police department typically does not handle parking issues on private lots. If you call the Lee’s Summit Police non-emergency line about, say, a random car in your apartment parking spot, they will likely tell you it’s a civil matter and you can have it towed. They might send an officer if the vehicle is suspicious or reported stolen, but even then, they might just run the plates or mark the tires and come back later – they won’t remove it for you because it’s on private property. The only time you’d involve police first is if there’s something more to it: for instance, the vehicle is involved in a crime, or someone is dangerously parked blocking public traffic from your property. Otherwise, going straight to Private Party Impound is the swiftest solution. We will perform the removal and, as required, notify the police department after the fact with details of the vehicle and tow. So the police do get informed, but through our process. This satisfies legal requirements and also means if the owner calls the police (“my car was stolen!”), the PD can tell them, “No, it was towed by PPI, here’s their number.” From your perspective, calling us first saves you time and resolves the problem often before an officer would even be free to respond. In summary: Contact PPI for the tow, and we’ll loop in the police as needed, rather than expecting the police to resolve a private parking issue – that’s what we’re here for.
