The Colorado Public Utilities Commission approved $1,675 in refunds to two vehicle owners after finding three statutory violations in two 2025 tows by Precision Towing and Recovery, whose owner/operator is Reginald Berry.

The commission approved refunds of $825 and $850 on July 15 in PUC docket 25G-0444TO. The commission’s meeting record identifies the tows as occurring in mid-2025 but does not name the vehicle owners or detail the conduct behind each violation. It says an administrative law judge’s recommended decision found three violations of two state statutes.

The recommended decision also called for a $26,400 civil penalty and a cease-and-desist order. The record reviewed for this article does not establish whether the commission adopted those remedies in a final written order. The two owners are to recover the amounts they paid to have their vehicles returned. There was no response from Berry or Precision Towing in the material reviewed.
