If your car is booted, contact Parking Services immediately. In order to have a boot removed, all tickets, fines, and boot fees must be paid. Once payment is accepted, the boot will be removed. Failure to make arrangements to have immobilizer (boot) removed will result in the vehicle being commercially towed.
If your car is towed, contact in Evanston to claim it. You will be responsible for paying the towing fee and any storage fees to North Shore Towing.
