Absolutely garbage establishment. They have been knowingly towing people for years who legally park at their property. According to towing company they have security and cameras watching for the second you leave their property (eg, the gas station on the same block) and will call towing company immediately and get kickbacks. Towing company showed me a list of 60 other cars they towed there yesterday when I went to pick up our car after it was legally parked at the gym and we showed them a picture of family member inside the gym who had parked the car alone.
The gym called the company and they still charged $131. They've been doing this for years, you can read about it everywhere. https://www.local10.com/news/2017/02/16/customers-legally-parked-at-sunny-isles-strip-mall-say-theyve-been-towed/ https://www.local10.com/video/video/2019/03/19/shoppers-say-theyre-being-towed-after-legally-parking-at-sunny-isles-mall/ https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/sunny-isles-beach/profile/property-management/rk-centers-0633-30005564

Another customer who got robbed by getting car towed. I parked early morning and Marshall's wasn't open yet. Decided to walk around the area. When I came back, car was gone. I get that they want to make sure that people don't use the parking lot to go to the beach or visit the condos and want to save spots for actual customers. However, it wasn't the case this AM. Parking lot was almost empty.
I intended to shop at Marshall's but it was still close. This is just a very sad business model RK and Dolphin Towing company have. In turn, it's the shopping center's stores who will pay the consequences as they will not see me ever again. Dolphin got $131 from me today. Heads up: I'm calling the news! It's really sad that you rob money from people during a pandemic and keep customers away from the actual stores with your disgusting actions. This is not over.

Stay away. My car got towed today. Shopped at Marshall's then went to eat. Came back and my car was gone. Was only at the mall for 1.5 hours. Cost me $101. Not sure how they can get away with it. The cops must know what is going on.
