Bay City accounts for 2.5% of the auto salvage yards in Michigan. Addresses come from federal EPA records, which don't guarantee a yard is still open or what it buys, so call before you drive over: hours, prices and what each yard buys or sells vary.

Got towed in Bay City?
Call the number on the tow-away sign where you parked, or the police non-emergency line, to find out which lot has your car. Bring photo ID, proof you own the car, and a way to pay, and ask for an itemized receipt.
If you get to your car before it's actually towed (and it isn't a hazard, crime or crash tow), Michigan law says it must be unhooked and released to you for a reasonable service fee. To challenge a tow, you can petition the district court, which must hold a hearing within 30 days.
