The towing laws are different for each state. You will need to check the towing laws for your state. If you live in San Francisco, and the tow company wrongfully tow your car, you are entitled to get your money back plus penalties from the tow company.
No . Not unless the owner agreed in writing to pay storage fees. You can check the laws for abandoned property in your state.

You need to address the situation before it gets out of hand. I don't know what the laws are in Illinois but in Georgia there are laws that you cannot abandon a vehicle at and not pay the towing fees. The problem is that storage fees are building up for every day you leave it there. Go and tell the towing company the situation and let them know that you want to work something out with them. If they are also in the body shop business as many are they may be willing to accept the truck as payment if it still has good parts on it. Be willing to sign over the title to them. This makes it cleaner paperwork for them as they have the ability to sell or part out the truck without issues. If you don't take care of it the storage fees will build up until they decide to take you to court over the bill. For full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency in Georgia and have for the past 22 years. I also worked for a direct writer for the 3 years before that.
Usually 7 to 30 days are allowed to be charged depending on the towing company and state law and local laws in the area.
There are many laws in North Carolina for towing vehicles. Laws include that small wrecker vehicles must have a sufficient rope to tow vehicles and they must be able to lift 8,000 pounds.
The first step is to contact the leinholder. If they think it is worth repoing. they will pay the $2000 in "storage fees". Be sure and check your state laws for how many days you have to contact the leinholder AND how many days storage the leinholder has to pay AFTER you notify them. The first $1900 in "fees" is likely an investment you will have to eat(include at NO cost). Wouldnt it be great if you could "store" your friends car until the "storage fees" were higher than any lender would pay, them you magically get the TITLE?? Sorry, this ain't Kansas and you ain't the Tinman. It don't work that way. After you notify the lender , if they decide they don't want it, you are stuck with a car and NO TITLE.Each state has laws designed to handle this situation. Call the DMV in your state for more info. Or Google "abandoned vehicle + Your state".
Laws regarding late fees on storage units vary by state. Typically, storage facility contracts outline the terms and conditions, including late fee policies. It's important to review the contract and understand the specific terms related to late fees before renting a storage unit.
The laws of towing and impounding vary from state to state. In Washington state, the towing company can not force anyone to redeem a vehicle from the impound lot. But after 21 days they can auction the vehicle to the highest bidder. The price that the vehicle sells for at the auction is deducted from the amount owed to the towing company. The balance DOES have to be paid by the registered owner, or it will be turned over to collections. Also according to RCW 46.55 the last registered owner of record is responsible for the fees of towing and storage of an abandoned vehicle. Failure to pay will result in a traffic infraction (failure to redeem) under 46.63. A lean will be placed against the registered owners license and any attempt to renew his or her license will denied until the deficiency and all penalties (collection fees) have been satisfied under RCW 46.63 and RCW 46.55.140. Once again these are Washington State laws, but most other states are similar to this. The other method used by some states is that the towing company is not required to auction the abandoned vehicle and after a certain amount of time, it is awarded to them as payment. These states usually to not permit the tow company to turn the balance over to collections and that would be the end of it. Once again you would need to check the towing and impounding laws of your particular state to find out for certain what their policy is.
