Dollies (those little wheels) are labour intensive, and when towing a vehicle for illegal parking slow the process down.

I wouldn't be so confident on that.
Technically they are liable if you can prove they caused the damage. When I worked in Toronto, until the car was fully hooked up, if the driver came back, there would be a drop fee, that was significantly cheaper than the full tow bill. Never underestimate a greedy tow truck operator who will do whatever it takes to get the vehicle out of there in as little time as possible.Coke
