Removal and impounding of vehicles under this chapter shall be done only by approved storage garages that shall be designated from time to time by Board of Supervisors. Every such garage shall submit evidence to Board of Supervisors that it is bonded or has acquired liability insurance in an amount satisfactory to Board of Supervisors as sufficient to indemnify owners of impounded vehicles against loss or damage to those vehicles while in the custody of the garage keeper for the purpose of towing or storage. The approved storage garage shall submit to Board of Supervisors its schedule of charges for towing and storage of vehicles under this chapter, and, when the schedule is approved by Board of Supervisors, those charges shall be adhered to by the approved storage garage; no different schedule of charges shall be demanded of or collected from any person whose vehicle is removed or impounded under this chapter by any approved storage garage. The Board of Supervisors shall delete from its list of approved storage garages under any garage that makes any unapproved charge in connection with any vehicle removed or impounded under this chapter. The township shall not be liable for any damages sustained to the vehicle as a result of towing or impoundment.
