I Got Towed

The City of Madison could tow your car if you fail to follow the winter parking rules. You could be towed if streets become impassable for emergency vehicles, buses, or other vehicles. Fines for towing during a Snow Emergency are $60 for the Alternate Side Parking violation plus a $115 towing fee.

Call Schmidt's Auto at (608) 257-0505 to find the location of your car.
