Car Wrongfully Towed

My car was towed out of my complex. The said they had it towed due to management request. When I contacted management they said that because it had a flat tire which it only in the past two days went flat that it was considered an inoperable car. I looked up what the definition of inoperable was and it said inoperable means unable to perform its normal function. Having a flat tire does not render a car inoperable. So now I have to pay for the towing and I was wondering what I can do about this. Is it worth bringing to small claims court?

It's a question of fact whether your car was inoperable You may be able to convince a judge Small claims costs about $70, so you have to balance the loss against the costs and the liklihood of winning.
