Accident towing in Laredo, TX
After the airbags and the exchange of insurance cards, somebody has to move the car. Once the scene is cleared, you pick who tows it and where it goes. That part is your call, not anyone else's.
Call (956) 654-3451 Once police release the vehicle, we take it from thereAfter a wreck, in order
- People first. Check on everyone, move to safety, call 911 if anyone is hurt or the cars are blocking live lanes.
- Report it. In Texas, crashes with injury or serious damage get a police report. The report number matters for your claim later.
- Photograph everything before the cars move: positions, damage, plates, the other driver's insurance card.
- Then decide where your car goes. If police ordered an immediate scene-clearing tow, the rotation wrecker handles that part. After release, moving it to YOUR shop is your decision, and that is the call we take.
Texas crash report copies come from TxDOT once filed. Their crash records portal is reachable through txdot.gov.
Where should the car go?
The tow destination after a wreck is a real decision, and it is yours:
- Your body shop. The best option when you already trust one. Insurers may suggest their network shops, but Texas law leaves the choice of repair shop to you.
- Your house. A fine parking spot while you and the insurer figure out repair versus total loss, and it stops storage fees from ticking.
- Out of a storage lot. If the car was scene-towed to storage, every day there costs money. Once the release paperwork is ready, we can move it to your shop or driveway and stop the meter.
How accident towing pricing works
- Condition of the vehicle. Rolling and steerable loads fast. Crushed corners, locked wheels, or debris fields take recovery work, quoted plainly first.
- Distance to your chosen shop or home.
- Storage lot pickups involve gate fees and paperwork time on top of the tow itself. Bring the release and your ID.
Keep the receipt. Tow charges after a covered accident are usually reimbursable on the claim, and our recorded line means there is never a question about what was quoted.
You always get the price before a truck rolls. Tell us where you are and what happened, and the quote comes back on the same call. There is no charge to ask.

Common questions
The insurance company says use their tow. Do I have to?
No. You may let them arrange it, and sometimes that is convenient, but the choice of tow and shop is yours in Texas. Get the claim number either way.
My car was towed from the scene to a storage yard. Can you get it out?
Yes. You need the release from the storage lot and your ID, then we move it wherever you want. Do it promptly, daily storage fees add up fast.
The car technically drives. Should I drive it after a wreck?
If anything leaks, grinds, or the airbags fired, no. Hidden radiator and suspension damage turns a fender bender into an engine loss. When in doubt, tow it the short distance.
Can you tow it straight to a dealership?
Yes, any destination you name: dealership, body shop, mechanic, or your driveway.
