Where is the 'South Beach Tow' cast now?
'South Beach Tow' is a docudrama, produced by Jennifer Lopez, that follows the exploits of a family-run towing company in Miami's South Beach. The show was broadcast on tru TV for 4 seasons, from July 20, 2011, to December 10, 2014. The plot ended dramatically in the last episode, 'Checkmate', which was broadcast on December 3, 2014.
