How to get your car out of impound in Galloway
If your car got towed in Galloway, here's how to find it and get it back today.
What Missouri law says
Springfield doesn't run a rotation of towing companies for police-ordered tows. Every custody tow inside city limits goes to one contractor under a competitively bid city contract: Henry's Towing Service, 2806 S Farm Road 115 in Brookline, currently under contract through January 31, 2026, with the city holding renewal options. Before you drive anywhere, call Springfield Police Headquarters at (417) 864-1810, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., to confirm there's no investigative hold on the vehicle. Next you need a release form, and that step only happens in person: SPD Headquarters at 321 E. Chestnut Expressway (lobby hours Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or the South District Station at 2620 W. Battlefield Road (lobby hours Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Bring a government-issued photo ID plus proof of ownership, meaning your title, a bill of sale, a Missouri title application, a notarized power of attorney, lien paperwork, repossession paperwork, or a certificate of origin. Once you have the release form, you pay Henry's Towing directly, not SPD, at the Brookline lot. Anything personal that was inside the car stays with it and can't be released separately, so don't leave valuables behind expecting a second trip. Under the current city contract, a small vehicle runs $90 to tow plus $30 a day in storage, and a large single-unit vehicle runs $175 to tow plus $50 a day; these are the city's rates for a police-ordered tow, not ours, and they're only good through the contract's current term. Quick Tow Springfield doesn't hold your car or set these fees. We can't waive what the city or Henry's charges, but once your car is released, we can move it wherever you need it to go.

Galloway is a quiet in-town neighborhood built on a piece of highway history: the combined US-60/US-65 alignment ran directly through here from 1945 into the 1950s, before the modern freeways bypassed it and left Galloway as a residential pocket about half a mile north of the old junction. Lone Pine Avenue and the Galloway Creek Greenway still carry the local traffic today. Sequiota Park, a spring-fed lake and former fish hatchery that now anchors the greenway trailhead, draws steady weekend park traffic, and the small Galloway Village commercial strip serves the surrounding older housing stock. This was unincorporated Greene County land before it was annexed into the city, and the mature neighborhood still carries an older vehicle fleet that breaks down at a steadier clip than newer subdivisions elsewhere in the metro. We reach Sequiota Park, the Galloway Village strip, and the surrounding residential streets in about 15 to 25 minutes, running wheel-lift for most calls in this low-traffic, mostly residential pocket.
