Can a tow truck still try to tow your car when it is not on the lift?

Yes, a tow truck can still attempt to tow your car even when it is not on the lift. The driver may use a technique called "dolly towing," where they lift the front or rear wheels off the ground using a set of dollies. However, the specific laws and regulations regarding towing can vary by location, so it's important to be aware of local ordinances. If you believe your vehicle is being wrongfully towed, you may have grounds to contest it.
