Start a vehicle
We turn the abandoned vehicles on your lot into clean titles and collected storage — statutory notices, certified mail, newspaper ads, county paperwork, every deadline tracked to the day. You text or email us a photo of the tow ticket or repair order. We do the rest.
Deadlines are money
Tow yards, repair shops, storage lots — every unclaimed vehicle sits on a statutory clock, and missing one takes money out of your pocket. Quietly, automatically, no warning letter.
The owner notification is due within 10 days of the tow. File it late and Kentucky law cuts off your storage charges at day 10 — everything after that is free parking you paid for.
KRS 281.928(3)(c)Once the repair bill is 30 days past due, Kentucky's mechanic's lien opens the path to a title or sale — same process, same protection. Text us the repair order instead of a tow ticket.
KRS 376.270 / 376.275After proper notification and 45 days of silence, any facility holding an unclaimed vehicle can move toward a free-and-clear sale — but only if every notice upstream was done correctly and provably.
KRS 376.275(1)(c)And before any sale, whoever you are: three consecutive weekly ads in your county's qualified newspaper (KRS 424.120) — the wrong paper doesn't count. We handle placement.
The system
Behind the scenes, every vehicle you send us runs on LIENCLOCK — our deadline engine. It computes every statutory date the day the file opens, recomputes when anything changes, and treats a deadline like an incident: the clocks that can hurt you this week are on top, in red, with the statute that says so.
You get a live status link for every vehicle — plain English, no legalese — and a text at every milestone.

How it works
No portal to learn, no forms to fill out, no fax machine. Your counter person can start a vehicle in the time it takes to take a picture.
Snap the ticket or invoice and text it to (859) 495-3266 (or email it). We read it, confirm the details back to you, and open the file the same day. Anything unclear, a human checks it — we never guess at a VIN.
Owner and lienholder identification, certified statutory notices, hold handling, newspaper ads in the county's qualified paper, county clerk packets — drafted, mailed, tracked, and documented. Before anything irreversible happens, you get a text asking for your YES.
We assemble the complete packet — every receipt, green card, and affidavit of publication in order. You sign the affidavits and title application (you stay the lienholder of record), we take it to the county clerk, and you end up with the title, the sale, or collected fees — plus a compliance file that holds up if anyone ever asks.
What's included
Flat fee per vehicle. Everything below is in it.
You stay in control
It's your vehicle, your lot, and your name on the filings. The process pauses and asks — by text — before every step you can't take back.
We confirm the vehicle is still on your lot and unredeemed before formal sale notices go out.
"Reply YES if it's still on your lot."
Newspaper ads cost money and start public clocks. None is placed until you confirm.
"Reply YES to run the ad this week."
Text one letter and everything stops — clocks, mailings, ads. A 24-hour undo window covers mistakes.
"Reply R if redeemed or released."
Pricing
Certified mail and state record fees are included in the flat fee. The only thing ever billed separately is the newspaper ad Kentucky requires before a sale — at cost, shown to you before it runs. And we bill you directly instead of stacking our fee onto the vehicle's charges, because a lien padded with extras is a lien someone can challenge. Yours stays clean.
All-in — every step, intake through title or sale packet.
All-in — for the yard that handles the rest itself.
Up to 5 vehicles a month, full processing — $120 a vehicle effective.
On the newspaper ad: we batch multiple vehicles into shared ads, so each vehicle's share of the cost stays small — an economy a yard processing one car at a time can't get.
Get us the ticket within 3 business days of the tow. If we ever miss the 10-day statutory notice on that vehicle, its fee is waived.
Pick the worst one in the back row. We'll process it start to finish, gratis — the finished file is the sales pitch.
FAQ
Kentucky tow yards, repair shops, and storage facilities holding vehicles the owner walked away from — towed, impounded, repaired and never picked up, or abandoned in a storage lot.
No. We are a document preparation and process-management service. Our notice templates are attorney-reviewed, every deadline we track carries its statutory citation, and anything filed with a government office or signed under oath is signed by you, not us. When a case needs a lawyer, we say so.
Yes — that's a Kentucky mechanic's lien (KRS 376.270), and it's the same service: text or email us the repair order, tell us when the bill came due, and the same notices, publication, and paperwork move the vehicle toward a title or sale. Same flat fee, and storage charges can accrue while it sits.
The full fee applies — and that's the process working. A redemption after proper notice means the owner paid your charges to get the vehicle back, which is the best outcome on the lot. Text us one letter and every clock, mailing, and ad stops immediately.
Kentucky's clocks set the floor: roughly 45 days from proper notice for the lien to mature, plus the publication weeks before a sale. What we make sure of is that you never wait a day longer than the statute requires — and never sell a day sooner than it allows.
A photo of the tow ticket or work order, texted or emailed. We take it from there and confirm the details back to you before anything mails.
Kentucky law forfeits storage charges past day 10 when the owner notice is late — which is exactly why day-10 is the first clock we set on every file, in calendar days, the conservative reading.
