Address Immediate Danger Before Arranging a Tow
If anyone is injured or the scene presents an immediate danger, call 911 and follow emergency responders' instructions. Do not stand in an active travel lane, between damaged vehicles, or attempt roadside repairs where traffic puts you at risk. Share the vehicle details you can observe safely.
A vehicle starting after a collision does not establish that it is safe to drive. Damaged wheels or tires, steering problems, deployed airbags, fluid leaks, broken safety lights, or bodywork rubbing a tire need attention before driving. When uncertain, have the vehicle evaluated rather than testing it on the road.
Describe the Damage and Access
Damage can change how a vehicle is loaded and what equipment is needed. When the scene is secure and the vehicle can be moved, provide:
- Pickup point: address, cross streets, highway direction, exit, or mile marker.
- Vehicle details: year, make, model, color, and drivetrain if known.
- Condition: visible damage, leaking fluid, and whether the vehicle can start, roll, or steer.
- Loading concerns: damaged or missing wheels, low ground clearance, locked wheels, or a vehicle positioned against a barrier.
- Access: garage clearance if known, gates, restricted entrances, or other obstacles.
- Destination: the name and address of the body shop, repair facility, dealership, home, or other requested location.
For a vehicle that cannot roll or steer, explain what you know without trying to force it to move. Availability and the loading approach must be assessed for the actual situation.
Ask About the Appropriate Towing Equipment
Flatbed towing carries a vehicle with its wheels off the road and may be appropriate after accident damage. Wheel or suspension damage, drivetrain requirements, low clearance, and pickup access can affect the towing method. Describe the condition so we can assess the equipment needed for the job.
A vehicle missing a wheel, locked in park, resting against a barrier, or sitting unusually low may require additional loading equipment. Share these details when calling so we can assess the loading approach before pickup.
Pickup Details for West Palm Beach
For a pickup near I-95 or Florida's Turnpike, provide the direction of travel and nearest exit or mile marker. Along Okeechobee Boulevard, Southern Boulevard, Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, Military Trail, Australian Avenue, or Dixie Highway, give the closest intersection and where the vehicle is stopped.
For downtown garages, private properties, or the Palm Beach International Airport area, identify the correct entrance, vehicle location, and known access or clearance restrictions. The West Palm Beach towing guide has more information for these pickup situations. For nearby communities, check the service-area guide and confirm coverage when calling.
Confirm Where the Vehicle Will Go
You may request a body shop, repair facility, dealership, home, storage facility, or another lawful destination. Before arranging transport, confirm that the destination can receive the damaged vehicle, including after hours. Ask for any drop-off or key-handling instructions.
If law enforcement or an insurer has given instructions about releasing or moving the vehicle, follow those instructions and communicate them when arranging the tow. Contact your insurer about coverage and claim instructions.
Ask for Pricing Based on the Actual Damage
Accident-towing pricing depends on the pickup and destination, travel distance, vehicle size and condition, equipment, access, and loading complexity. Give complete details and ask what the quoted price includes before agreeing to service. Confirm any separate destination or storage arrangements directly with the receiving facility.
Accident Towing Questions

Yes. We provide accident towing day and night. Call with the pickup location and vehicle condition for an arrival estimate and pricing.
Can a car be towed if it will not roll or steer?
It may be possible, depending on the damage, access, and equipment needed. Describe locked or damaged wheels, steering condition, and how the vehicle is positioned so we can assess the loading requirements.
Can I choose my body shop?
You can request a destination. Confirm that it can receive the vehicle and communicate any release or transport instructions you have received before the tow is arranged.
What should I provide for a highway accident pickup?
Give the highway, direction of travel, nearest exit or mile marker, vehicle description, and visible damage. Follow emergency responders' instructions and share location details you can identify safely.
