Our Accident Recovery Towing Process
Arrival and Scene Assessment
Our driver checks in with responding officers, assesses vehicle damage and position, and determines whether winching, flatbed loading, or another method is required for safe extraction.
Vehicle Documentation
We photograph the vehicle condition at the scene before touching it, creating a clear record of pre-tow damage that protects you during the insurance claims process.
Safe Extraction and Loading
Using flatbed trucks and winching gear as needed, we extract and load the damaged vehicle without causing additional damage, keeping remaining fluids contained during transport.
Transport and Secure Storage
We deliver the vehicle to your chosen repair shop or our secure impound-free storage lot in Memphis, notifying you and your insurance contact of the exact location.
