Requires towing companies and operators to inform persons of their right to choose any vehicle repair facility and to disclose any ownership connections between the towing company/operator and recommended repair facilities.

Prohibits vehicle repair facilities and towing companies from accepting or providing compensation to induce towing companies to intimidate customers into using specific repair facilities or to misrepresent vehicle conditions or insurers.
