Well, in a sense, they sell you your car back.
See, from the time your car is towed, you are assessed daily fees. In order to regain possession of your car you must pay those fees in full. If you do not reclaim your car within a certain time frame, the tow company will file for a lien on your car. They will be granted the lien and will be issued the title for the vehicle (irregardless of whether or not the car has a bank lien). They will then sell the car at auction.
If you want your car, go get it...and soon. If not, you will not get a dime from the tow company for it, but they willlegally take possession of it.

This may vary by state, however, in general if a car is towed from an accident scene the tow company keeps the car.

How can i find a car if it was impounded and don't know the towing company?
If...it was impounded by the city or state for moving / non-moving violations. try calling the local PD. The tow could have been ordered by a bank/finance company if the loan payments are in arrears. The tow might have been ordered by a property owner if you park on their property without permission. Towing companies are obliged to inform the local police that they have towed or will tow a vehicle. Otherwise it looks like they are stealing the vehicle.
