After a crash you need three things from a tow operator: a safe scene, a car that isn't damaged further, and paperwork your insurer accepts without a fight. That's the job.
People first: check everyone, call 911 if there's any injury or the scene is dangerous. If vehicles drive and it's minor, Indiana law lets you move them out of the traffic lane — do it. Photograph everything before the hook: positions, damage, plates, the other driver's info. Then call us. Important: you choose the tow company, not the responding officer's rotation list and not the other party's insurer. Cars towed by rotation can land in storage yards charging daily fees while adjusters dawdle.
Recovery is rigging, cleanup and documentation — not just a hook.
What makes accident towing different?
Scene safety — cones, lighting and positioning before anything gets touched, especially on 69 and 37 shoulders.
Damage-aware loading — a crashed car loaded wrong gets worse. Flatbed, correct attachment points, airbag-deployed and no-roll situations handled with skates and winch work.
Debris cleanup — glass and parts off the roadway; it's part of the job, not an extra.
Usually the at-fault party's insurance, eventually — but the tow bill is yours at the scene. Keep it clean and itemized (we make sure of that) and it folds into the claim. If your car is drivable-but-damaged, we can also flatbed it to the body shop of your choice — insurers suggest shops; the choice is legally yours in Indiana.
We stage and wait — the officer clears the scene, then we work. Calling us early means the truck is there the moment it's released.
Where should a crashed car go?
Body shop if you've chosen one, our secure yard if you haven't. Avoid open-ended rotation storage — daily fees eat claims.
The car won't roll — can you still load it?
Yes. Winches, skates and dollies exist for exactly this. No-roll, airbag-out, wheels-folded — all loadable.
Do you talk to my insurance company?
We provide every document they need — photos, invoice, storage log. The claim conversation stays yours; we just make it easy to win.
What does accident recovery cost?
Scene work varies with rigging and time more than distance — typically $150–$400 for standard recoveries. Quoted as precisely as the scene allows before work starts, itemized after.
