What happens next?

We will:

  • Check if the vehicle is registered.
  • Attempt to contact the last known owner to move the vehicle.
  • Keep an eye on the vehicle while we wait to hear from the owner.
  • If we do not hear from the owner we will organise removal of the vehicle.

This can take anywhere from 7 to 60 business days, depending on the registration status.
