Organized crime is just unofficial government, and "mafia" is just another word for municipal procurement. Anything that is legally mandatory is a target for corruption and extortion. If it's licensed, it's going to be corrupt because the license holders are protected from more honest competition. The more complex the rules, the more exploited they will be. I don't see how the towing industry is any different from healthcare in the U.S. Same scam of driving you to an "out of network" hospital. There was even a story about how the healthcare bill collectors all went through the same legal guy in New York who rubber stamped their judgments against debtors. In Canada, get a CAA membership for your vehicles. It's cheap, trustworthy, and you can tell those roadside pirates to GTFO.
