Accident & collision towing
A crash is stressful. Take it one step at a time: safety, police, photos — then call us and we'll move the car where you want it.
We come to where your vehicle is — the street, a driveway, a parking lot or the highway shoulder — and take it where you choose.
When to call us for this
- The car isn't safe to drive after a collision
- Fluid is leaking, a wheel is bent or the airbags went off
- The police have finished at the scene and the car needs to be moved
- Your car was towed after a crash and you want it moved to your own body shop
- You were in a minor fender-bender and the headlights or bumper are hanging
How it works for this job
- 1
Everyone safe first
Call 911 if anyone is hurt. Stay out of travel lanes and follow police directions.
- 2
Report and photos
Get the police report number and take photos of both cars, plates and the scene.
- 3
Call us with the details
Tell us where the car is, what's damaged and which body shop you want.
- 4
Tow and receipt
We take the car to your shop and give you a receipt for your insurance claim.
What to tell us when you call
- Exact location and direction of travel
- Whether police are on scene
- What's damaged or leaking
- Your body shop's name and address
Debris and spills on the roadway are handled by police and road crews — don't try to clear the lanes yourself.
Accident & collision towing: common questions
At an active scene, police decide who moves the car first. Once it's released, you can usually have it moved again to your shop — ask the yard what's needed to release it, then call us.
Yes, that's the idea. Give us the shop's name and address. Calling the shop first helps them plan for your car.
Keep the police report number, the other driver's information, your photos and the tow receipt we give you. Your insurer will tell you what else they need.
Tell us what you see — color, how much, where it's coming from. Most leaking cars can be towed; don't start the engine, and stay away if you smell gas or see smoke.
