Accident & Wreck Recovery — Alexander and Sons Towing
Montgomery & Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Accident & Wreck Recovery

Collision scenes cleared and damaged vehicles moved without a second incident.

A wrecked vehicle is not a broken-down vehicle. Suspension is bent, wheels do not turn, fluids are on the road and the body no longer holds together where you would normally attach a strap. Recovering one safely is a different job, and it is a large part of what we do: badly damaged pickups, cars with the front clip torn away, vehicles that need winching before they can even be loaded.

At the scene

Traffic control lights on, hazards secured, then a plan for the load rather than a hurry. We would rather take an extra ten minutes than put a second vehicle in the ditch.

Winching and loading

Vehicles with seized or missing wheels get skates, dollies or a straight winch pull onto the deck. Loose panels are strapped down before we move.

Where it goes next

Body shop, insurance yard, salvage auction or your driveway. We run these deliveries regularly and we will document the vehicle's condition on arrival.

FAQ

Common questions about accident & wreck recovery

Do you work with insurance companies?
We deliver to insurance and salvage yards and we document the vehicle. Your claim is between you and your insurer, but the paperwork trail on our side is clean.
Can you recover a vehicle from a ditch or embankment?
Tell the dispatcher what the vehicle is sitting in and how far off the road it is. That decides which truck comes out.
Is a wreck more expensive to tow?
Recovery takes longer and needs more equipment than a straight tow, so yes, usually. You will be told before we start, not after.
