What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Glen Cove approved new towing charges that more than doubled the cost of removing a vehicle by flatbed. The cost for the first mile of a tow increased from $125 to $185, and the charge for each additional mile doubled from $5 to $10. The city also increased fees for vehicle storage and raised labor charges, such as the cost triggered by using a dolly or flat-bed truck.
