A:
Keep trying and physically go to the impound yard with your vehicle registration and insurance during its normal business hours if you have to.
After 30 days, the impound yard can sell your vehicle for the towing, impound, and storage fees.

A:
If your son's car has been impounded and you're struggling to get in touch with the impound yard, there are a few steps you can take to try and resolve the situation. Firstly, double-check any paperwork or documentation given to you by the authorities or your son upon his arrest. This may contain contact information for the impound yard or details on how to retrieve the vehicle.
If you're unable to find contact information on the paperwork, you can try reaching out to the local police department or courthouse for assistance. They may be able to provide you with the necessary information or guide you on the next steps to take in order to retrieve the impounded vehicle.
Additionally, consider visiting the impound yard in person if you're able to do so. Sometimes, it can be more effective to speak with someone face-to-face rather than relying solely on phone calls or emails. Be sure to bring any relevant documentation, such as proof of ownership or identification, that may be required to release the vehicle.
