These folks were GREAT! Not sure why so many people want to bash these types of companies. They did not park your car. The truth is... if parking enforcement companies did not exist every parking lot would be a mess. Think about it... If it was okay to park wherever you wanted whenever you wanted... then everybody else would too and that would lead to chaos. If you cant follow directions when driving your car it is likely the police will issue you a ticket. If you cant follow the directions at your place of employment you are likely to get written up. If you cant follow the direction of the 10 commandments you may end up in hell. If you cant follow the directions of your home owners association it is likely you will receive a nasty gram email and then a fine of some kind. If you cant brush and floss everyday it is likely you will get a cavity. If you cant follow the guidelines for parking your car it is likely that it will be removed . It's quite simple people.... if you cant park correctly... take it on the chin, pay the impound fees, learn from your mistakes and move on with your life. No need to give these people a hard time. My experience with the folks at Dominion Towing was nothing but kind, understanding and polite. I was wrong and they did what they were hired to do. No, I did not like parting with my $100+ and getting a ride to their location but hey man... that's how it goes. Kelly was extremely kind and took care of me quickly. I was in and out. There was a man sitting right next to her and I believe his name was Shane. He was happy to assist in jump starting my car as Kelly was in making sure I understood the policy in which I violated. At the end of the day I would have to say the folks at Dominion Towing handled my vehicle with care and treated me with respect. To be honest, I was not expecting any of that. Im certain that if your car end up there it was for a good reason and Im sure that if you speak to them in a calm and courteous manner you will be treated the same. read more

Damage my car!!!! Fuck this place and fuck the people that work on it. Terrible handling cars and customers.

They're bullies. They're also inconsistent. There are people who park in my development without a permit--they are NEVER towed. They WILL slap an ugly orange sticker on your car and give you 48 hrs to become a millionaire to fix every problem they see otherwise they will tow you. Just awful. I have tried talking with them but they are rude, disrespectful, intractable, and seem to love causing strife. I wish my development would choose a different company. These people are awful. read more

Gentleman behind the desk was very nice and professional given the circumstances, quick to process and get the car out. The manager was hostile and rude from the first words that left his mouth when asked a question, not someone I'd ever want to represent my company. read more

This place loves to make quick money and doesn't care or want to hear anything you say. They towed my car twice when I had my PARKING PASS VISIBLE on my dashboard lol they still charged me half the price and their reason was " the parking permit needs to be hung on the mirror not on the dashboard." I also stopped the guy mid tow saying my pass is in my car and he said where and I went to get my keys inside my garage to unlock my car and as I come out he is taking off with my car. read more

Towed Faulty Meter parked in this lot on 4/27 at 8:30 AM to go shopping. I parked in a spot that clearly stated "2 hours free parking" as long as you press the meter button. I come here often, so I know that's how it normally works. But this time, when I pressed the meter, it only gave me 48 minutes instead of the full 2 hours. I assumed the meter was malfunctioning and figured the towing company would know that, so I went on my way. When I returned, my car had been towed. I contacted Dominion Towing, which is about a 12-minute walk from Avenir Retail where the Dunn Loring Harris Teeter is located in Vienna. The woman at the office wouldn't even let me explain. I told her I had video evidence showing the meter didn't reset properly, but she just said, "There's nothing I can do, your meter expired." So they refused to review any evidence and still charged me $200 to release my car. To make matters worse, my vehicle is all-wheel drive and should be towed on a flatbed--which they didn't do. Faulty meter and refused to look, they are predator and scam Essentially, I have no way to contest this charge and want to warn others: this parking setup is misleading. They advertise 2 hours of free parking, but the meters don't always give that time. It seems like a setup to catch people off guard and tow their cars unfairly. Please be careful. Attached the video to show you that when I got there with the time stamp 8:41 AM, I was there for my Orange Theory Class at 8:45 AM ET. Also, the attached video shows how the meter is supposed to reset--if it works. The meter that I was using now can't be reset. It stayed on for 1 hour, but when I used it, it was at 48 minutes. read more

While watching a truck get towed from my neighborhood the driver of this truck opened vehicle and begun to search inside as if he was looking for something to steal for what seemed more than 2-3 minutes. Clearly safety isn't their priority as they didn't even strap the truck till they left the community, or they were rushing in order to now allow the owner the opportunity to come outside and pay a drop fee... shady tactic Dominion, keep it up. read more

Predatory towing. Purposely tows at night and on weekends, when management isn't available all to make an extra buck. After my visitor being towed last month I was told by this company and my proper management to provide my parking pass to my visitor and as long as I was parked in MY reserved space I would not be towed because my vehicle is on record for my property. They did not honor this and my car was towed from my reserved space. I've called and they informed me that I must pay the 300 dollar fee and if I have issues I can contact management after the weekend however I will not be reimbursed. If I wait till management is back in after the weekend the fee will go up. This is ridiculous cuídate your protocols. IF MY CAR IS ON FILE AND IN ITS RESERVED SPACE I PAY EXTRA FOR IT SHOULD NOT BE TOWED! Update: upon returning my car to its proper spot I saw tire marks so I investigated its tires and found cuts to the rear tire that was just replaced. Extremely unprofessional. read more

Wow, Dominion took my Brother in Laws vehicle at 1:45am double parked in front of my townhouse.

I will be reporting you all to my HOA and might even file a civil suit. No wonder you all are under investigation by the Attorney General of Virginia. Shady business practices.

I attended a HOA meeting , my car was towed by Dominion towing before 8 pm. The HOA policy is the Dominion towing should not tow cars before middle night. Dominion towing is a bad company which is hungry of money, they tried their ways to take people's cars away so they could make $180 out of each car 's towing . They said my car took 2 parking spaces, which was not true, the fact was my car did not take 2 parking spaces. According to the photo that Dominion gave to me, my car front bumper was less than 4 inches riding on the marked parking line. And there were 2 empty parking spaces on both sides of my car at that time = before 8 pm. I had very bad cat bite injuries on my foot and the infection made me very hard to use my foot, I sent Dominion towing the photos of my injured foot. All they could reply me was " We are sorry about your injury ". The Dominion towing cared most is the money they could make by taking people 's cars away so they could make more money. They want to say to everyone " We are so happy that we could make money out of your suffering ". read more

Ashley, after looking over this thread, my pity for your existence grew with every reply of yours that met my eyes. You try tirelessly to defend this company with your best efforts and your professionalism is somewhat impressive, though you do get passive aggressive, which is understandable considering the losing battle that you fight. I'd like to remind you that your efforts are futile, and your lack of morality and empathy is repulsive. I hope that under this facade of "business employee" there is a human with a heart, but some part of me doesn't have any faith in that. I understand that many of your "customers" are blinded with aggression, but Dominion Towing's greed and dishonor shine far brighter than the voices of those you have wronged. There was a moment where I felt bad about writing this review, but I highly doubt an individual like yourself would lose any sleep over it. Thank you, Ashley. I too was blinded by anger, but after being reminded that individuals like you exist, my anger gave way to profound sadness then to relief. I truly hope you live your life to the fullest. Sincerely, Christopher Kim read more

predatory towing company that goes around looking for vehicles and then charges a small fortune. towe'd my from the custody and sent me a notice through DMV that my car has a lien on it.

Hostile towards active duty service members. My vehicle and home address are registered in PA. Per PA law since I am active duty stationed outside of PA I only need my vehicle inspected once every two years. My apartment complex requested I be placed on a permanent do no tow list to suit my needs as active duty service. Per my apartment complex, this group adamantly refused essentially stating that I can "figure it out". I do not recommend this company for any apartment complex, housing complex, etc. who wishes to attract active duty military service members due to their hostility. read more

Seeing my brother off before his flight, they tow my car while it's parked in the visitor's space, which belongs to my brother. I've seen this so often in low income communities. It's time to get this company out of business. Dominion is a predatory towing company that only patrols and tow cars in lower income areas. They do not tow in Kingstowne or other high middle class areas because they know those residents have the resources to complain and fight back. I encourage residents to contact: Attorney General, Mark Herring 1(804)786-4718 Also check: https://www.oag.state.va.us/consumer-protection/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=184 Dominion takes hard earned money from families to support their illegal towing operations. Their business model is corrupt! The fact a private company can take your belongings without allowing you to justify why they shouldn't is an issue. Dominion needs to go. Towing of cars should be a reactive business. If a resident or HOA calls for a car to be removed I get it, but proactively taking money from people and inventing violations to make a buck is disgusting. We need better in our communities. Better service and respect. If you need your car Towed legitimately do not use Dominion, use a legitimate company read more

Dominion towed my car from my apartment complex on 6/23 due to my inspection and tags being expired as of 5/31. I accept responsibility for that, I completely forgot about having to renew both of those. I'm a delivery driver and a single mom and my mind sometimes forgets things. I paid the $160 to get my car back on the same day. However I did not make enough money for the inspection and tags until after I did a few deliveries that night. I called Dominion and explained my situation, literally in tears and pleading with them not to tow my car again tonight because I wasn't able To get everything taken care of until the shop opened up at 8am on 7/24. I explained that I was a single parent and I did not want to have my kids sleep in the car for fear of it being towed again. Dominion told me to risk parking on the street and get a parking ticket or park in my apartment complex (where I pay my rent on time every month) and risk being towed again with no hesitation. As I tried to plead my case citing both my spinal and hip injuries as others painful issues for sleeping in my vehicle I heard " okay okay okay" and then the dial tone. Dominion hung up in my face. Currently it is 3:13am and my babies are sound asleep in my backseat ( I told them this was a camping adventure and they went for it) and I'm super exhausted and trying to stretch my inner thigh muscles before they seize up on me. (Sciatic Nerve Pain). I just want to take a hot shower and take a a few hours nap before the day begins again today, but I can't afford a ticket or another tow. Is a one day grace period really too much to ask??? I guess it is. This is one of the most costly and painful mistakes I have ever made. Life sucks and plus I really really hate it here. Ashley did you listen to All of my phone calls? I was abruptly hung up on each and every time and yes i did mention my conditions however like you just stated regardless of how disabled I am no exceptions to your rules would be made. So no matter what I said it wouldn't have mattered which is why im sure no one cared to listen. You all look so happy in your family photos posted on your website i hope no one in your inner circle has or will ever have to deal with being an impacted individual. Good day and Good Luck 6/26/2021 Dear Ash, Let me first apologize for my emotions overwhelming my logic and painfully projecting my hurt onto you. Although I'm not a profitable business owner like yourself I do run a somewhat productive household that I am proud of (Sometimes) Allowing our environment the flexibility for mistakes has aided in our ability as a family unit to maneuver through obstacles as learning opportunities. I understand that you must play by the same rules and cannot dictate how your customers dominate their residual incomes. However I would bet my last buttered biscuit that your gift of gab has and will continue to effect positive evolution around you and your family business. Petitioning for a grace day from towing too allow for a wrong to be corrected would be a beautiful advocacy on behalf of those like my forgetful self.

Dominion Towing - Terrible customer service - Towing Near Me - Lorton, Virginia

I had the pleasure of meeting the gentleman representing this company, as he was about to tow my car from my HOA community parking lot. He went out of his way convincing me that I was wrong to be upset about him extorting $50 to not steal my car. "I've been doing this for a very long time", the gentleman insisted - "I know what I'm doing. I am right and you're wrong." The fine gentleman was visibly offended when I called him out on their predatory towing, and pretty much went on to say that they're doing God's work. He even wished me a good evening (after taking the insignificant $50). Our HOA president, Raquel, is friends with this towing company, so it's no surprise that the rules are favoring the towing company, and not the homeowners. To Ashley: Your business has a 1.5 star rating, with almost every review describing it as a predatory towing company - you're in denial. After I showed the permit, that should've been the end of story - not "give me $50 to release your car" - preying on someone to make a mistake, then forcefully holding their property for ransom - that's a predatory practice. Wishing a good evening is indeed a polite thing to do - that doesn't change the fact that he had just extorted my $50. It's like a house robber wishing you a good evening on their way out, after hand-cuffing you and stealing your belongings. The only difference is that you guys have figured out a way to steal legally - you guys are thieves and our HOA is your accomplice. There's a special place in hell for people like you, and you know it. read more

The FAQ has someone ask "What if my parking brake was on?" and their answer is "We are equipped with all the latest, modern tools of the trade to safely tow your vehicle." That is B.S. because I have a manual vehicle that was in gear with the parking brake on since that is how you put it in "park". They tow just like anyone else by lifting 2 wheels and dragging it. They lifted the front wheels thankfully so my transmission is okay but my parking brakes are no longer working since they dragged it with it on. Problem #2: This organization towed my vehicle at 4AM on a Friday. Obviously at 4AM there isn't much light out so my parking pass was not "clearly visible" according to them. The problem is the adhesive comes off sometimes which is not their fault so it was not "in the corner where it should be". I saw the photo they took and you can clearly see where the sticker fell to because I use a sun visor so it was caught there. If someone with half a brain were to even look closely they would see that it is a parking sticker. Problem #3: Their billing statements are a joke. Tow fee, sure. Days in storage fee makes sense. Weekend fee to pick up the vehicle sure. But an after hours fee at 2PM. Their actual hours must be only at night so that they can be paid hourly while hunting for vehicles that they won't actually completely look at to tow. Even though it claims "24 hours open" what a joke. Ultimately, stay away from this organization and their shoddy business work. read more

This company is predatory. They come out in the middle of the night knowing they'll make a quick buck. Absolutely no morals. My RENTAL was towed at 10pm on a Saturday night in my GATED COMMUNITY. I WAS GIVEN A PERMIT TO ENTER FROM MY OFFICE. Now I'm forced to pay $180 (next day) to release my car or else I can't go to work tomorrow. This company is crooked. EDIT: Corrected to 2 stars because of the half off fee due to "good faith." I understand it's a business but don't HUNT for money at 10pm on a Saturday. read more

They have predatory practices. I was parked for not even five minutes and was towed. I honestly thought my car had been stolen, and called the police, because it didn't seem possible it could have been towed so quickly. The officer ended up telling me tow companies are required to notify them, and Dominion had not. They were in such a rush to take my car, they forgot to follow the legal procedure. They had my car for 15 minutes, charged me $175, and forced me to pay cash. Although, after reading other reviews about credit card fraud, perhaps the cash demand was a blessing in disguise. I'm glad they don't have my credit card info. read more

Only because I can't give them a big fat zero. Trolling around and towing First Responders cars out of the garage under the Fire house while they are working for the citizens of Alexandria. Then when you know they are a paramedic and was on duty.... you still charge them $160. Parked in an unmarked spot because ALL of the Fire Dept spots were currently being used and this paramedic had to get upstairs to relieve her coworkers. Then had several calls before she could get back downstairs to move her vehicle after a spot opened up. Shame on you. I hope that $160 is worth it. Well the "private property" is also our garage. And you right.... we are supposed to park in our spaces but most likely they were full because someone was in one and weren't supposed to be. You can say whatever you want.... it's still rotten business. It wasn't my vehicle but it still infuriated me. read more

Terrible towing company. I complained to my HOA who refused to use ones with higher BBB ratings and less county complaints. Dominion Towing wakes me up dragging cars by their drive wheels out of spots instead of using the tow dolly to avoid damage. They showed my HOA committee a video of how a car should be towed lifting the drive wheels off the pavement, moving it out of the spot, and then repositioning the tow truck to tow by the drive wheels. However, this isn't how they tow. Every time I hear them dragging cars I grab for my phone to video it but it's always low light or too late. Please someone, try to get video of how they tow. Despite being a county ordinance to take "pre tow photos to establish the vehicle condition" they rely on the video camera in the truck which can't show if they drag your front bumper or makes contact with a car when towing. When they towed my daughter's car, they posted a sign on the right side of the road where she didn't see it. For that tow because they knew it was questionable, they did take proper pictures. However, when I see them tow at night, I never see them taking those pictures. read more

This company is a scam company that goes around prowling for cars to tow. Whoops I accidentally left my parking pass in the sun visor. Car towed, I showed them where it was. Oh, there it is, that will be $185 after tax. These people are trolls that are taking advantage of people who have done nothing wrong. You better watch your backs. Oh and did I mention that this is in the middle of the COVID 19 crisis. Big time scammers. Edit: since you don't know what you are talking about. The reason I am here is because my wife is a CNA at a nursing home so my daughter who has asthma and I came here to be apart from her. We are staying inside at all times except when I had to go to get my car back that you took for no reason scammer. You shouldn't be allowed to tow a car without knowing for sure that it isn't supposed to be there. If you can't see the permit doesn't automatically mean there isn't one. I showed you where my permit was as soon as I got there. I didn't do anything wrong. You are just taking advantage of people. There is no excuse for this. Your a scammer. The paper that I have isn't a sticker that sticks to your window, it's a loose piece of paper that has to be stowed away when your driving. I made one trip to Wagman's to get food for my family and I had to stow the paper. You should have to put a 24hr notice on a car before you tow it. You are abusing your power and taking money from people who have done nothing wrong. read more

Predatory, gross company that are smug, smarmy and rude. They were called to tow cars out of a parking lot that was full of cars on a Sunday night for a religious holiday that is the equivalent of Christmas. Fine. Whatever. However, they didn't tow cars in front of the shops that were there for hours. They waited around on the side of the parking lot, far away from shops and completely out of the way. They towed my car, parked there for less that 15 minutes. I had ordered a pizza from the pizza hut in that plaza that I was going to pick up after a 15 minute detour to the temple, but they had no way of knowing that, didn't want to acknowledge that they were in the wrong and charged me $185. Again, didn't tow the cars in front of the businesses the cars were supposedly hindering. Also they said they would text me pictures of the tow. Still waiting, two days later. They know they were in the wrong and won't acknowledge it. Horrible people called by horrible people, and I wish this company nothing but the worst. Replied to my review on Google by blaming me for parking where I'd ordered the pizza because the owner has been to the parking lot before and that plaza needs every parking spot at 7:30 PM on a Saturday night. When I was parked out of the way and NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESSES. Edit: Imagine feeling the need to respond to one negative review when you have literally hundreds of them. Y'all are predatory, point blank, Ashley. There were other cars you could have towed doing the same thing, but your towers went for the easy one on the side instead of the ones actually hindering the business, in front of the business, because it was easier for them. That's your employees being lazy, and not actually solving the problem that you were called there to solve. Edit 2: ALSO, there was no signage at the plaza where I parked that said "customer parking only" and when the towed my car, they literally did not have anything telling me where to get my car from. I had to call around to a bunch of towing companies and the police, and even they didn't know who towed my car. Imagine doing that. Towing a car and leaving absolutely 0 information about how to retrieve it. How is that not predatory. read more

Terrible, horrible towing!!! this service pissed me off so bad I will take my time to give them a zero if I could. Worst service ever!

Dominion Towing SUCKS! I see them prowling around the apartment community where I live as soon as the sun goes down to tow vehicles. Vehicles that are not supposed to be there are towed appropriately. However, I've seen them tow (and been the victim of a tow) because allegedly the driver didn't see my parking permit in my windshield--now I have it taped to the windshield like several other tenants. I think they are towing parasites and even towed a friend of mine who was parked outside my apartment community in a visitor parking spot. Dominion is full of parasites. Now that I'm posting this, hopefully my car will still be where I parked it in the morning. Ugh! read more

My daughters car was towed at 7pm today August 17, 2021, from a loading and unloading zone in front of her home. She was literally parked there 5 minutes with her flashers on while I unloading her 2 babies, 26 months and 13 months old, along with her groceries. She has lived here for a year and was told by the landlord as well as the property manager that while loading and unloading is permitted, no extending parking is allowed. I have videos as well as photos of other cars on the street at the same time, neighbors of doing the same thing. I took the videos and photos when I went to pick her up to go get her car back from these predators. As we arrived back one car was still parked just a few houses down from hers with the flashers on. The landlord and property manager will be contacted in the morning. She works very hard to take care of her family and this $160.00 is much more than she can afford....This was completely wrong!!!! read more
