Finding a Solution for Abandoned Cars

One of the biggest challenges at many communities, and on Oahu in general,  concerns abandoned and derelict vehicles that often take up precious parking space and are eyesores. The cost to remove these vehicles is normally upwards of $400 per vehicle.  David Simpson, Associa Hawaii’s Director of Client Services said, “Abandoned and derelict vehicles are a problem at many communities. Removal of the vehicles can cost upwards of $400 per car. We have worked hard to negotiate a contract with a towing contractor to remove the abandoned vehicles at a more favorable rate.  The cost savings have been significant.”
