The organization StopCurbstoning.com is targeting Tow Truck Operators and has
issued a White Paper warning them they are being watched. With their latest
report, entitled “A Different Breed Of Curbstoner, And Yet Another Way Cities
Leak Revenues”, they want to educate the public on how rogue tow-truck
companies are secretly conducting curbstoning operations, utilizing their legitimate
business. Curbstoning is the repeated, unlicensed “flipping” of used cars for profit,
and is illegal in most cities.

Chuck Redden, president of AutoTec, one of the companies behind the Stop
Curbstoning effort, wants to get the word out – to consumers and sellers as well as the
authorities. The consumer is at risk, not having a true history of a vehicle, local
business are cut out of the dealing and local government does not collect fees and
taxes that legitimate businesses adhere to.
A statement on StopCurbstoning.com reads: “Because enforcement resources are
spread thin, it’s up to car buyers to be informed, automotive dealers to be proactive,
and municipalities to be responsive.
