Towing Company Settles Over Military Car Auction | San Diego News
Description
A San Clemente towing company, S&K Towing, is paying $160,000 to military service members after allegedly auctioning off their cars without proper court authorization—violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The Justice Department sued, revealing the company sold up to 148 vehicles belonging to active-duty personnel stationed at Camp Pendleton, despite knowing the owners were deployed. When warned by a military lawyer in May, a manager reportedly shrugged it off, saying “We do this all the time.” The settlement compensates affected service members and sends a clear message: businesses must respect the legal protections given to those serving our country. Even as the company winds down, owners agree to follow the law if they return to towing.
