After a collision
Accident Towing in Highland Park, Arranged Quietly on Your Behalf
If a collision on Armstrong Parkway or Mockingbird Lane leaves the car unsafe to drive, one conversation with us sets the transport, the release and the next steps in motion.
(000) 000-0000 — let us arrange the transportHow the Car Arrives Shapes the Repair
A car that has been in a collision should travel on a flatbed, with all four wheels off the pavement. All-wheel-drive systems, low front spoilers and electric drivetrains can all be harmed by being dragged, and loose panels can scrape fresh damage into an otherwise sound door. At Autobody Repairs Highland Park, we arrange transport suited to your car and see that it is secured by its wheels with loose parts tied down. If police have already sent the car to a storage yard, we help with the release documents and move it before storage charges accumulate. When it arrives, it is photographed and logged before anything is touched. From there, the inspection and estimate follow without your needing to coordinate another step.
What We Arrange With Every Tow
These details are handled for you, so the car reaches us in the same condition it was in after the collision.
Flatbed matched to the car
Transport is chosen for the drivetrain and ground clearance, with low-angle loading for cars with deep front splitters.
Held by the tires, not the chassis
The car is strapped at its wheels rather than its suspension, so nothing beneath it is stressed during the trip.
Loose panels secured
Hanging bumper covers, mirrors and trim are taped or removed so they cannot strike the car in transit.
Storage yard release help
We tell you what the yard will require, help gather the authorization and arrange the pickup.
Transport mode on electric cars
Electric and hybrid models are placed in their tow or transport mode as the owner's documentation directs.
Personal items set aside
Belongings in the cabin and trunk are gathered, bagged and kept safe until you collect them.
Arrival photographs
Photographs taken during unloading give your insurer a clear record of the car's condition on arrival.
Towing coverage reviewed
We confirm whether your policy includes towing and place the charge on the claim where it applies.
From Where the Car Sits to Our Bay
- 01
Tell us the location and the damage
Once you and your passengers are safe and any police report is made, give us the location and a sense of the damage. If the car is already at a yard, the yard's name from your paperwork is enough to begin. We confirm the make and drivetrain so the right truck is sent. You are told what to expect next.

Transport and release
A flatbed is arranged, and where a yard holds the car, its release forms are settled on your behalf. The car is loaded gently and secured by its wheels. Loose parts are tied down or brought inside. You do not need to meet the truck unless the yard requires it.
- 03
Arrival and first inspection
The car is photographed and logged as it is unloaded, and your belongings are set aside. A technician begins the inspection and the estimate. We let your insurer know the car has arrived. We then call to walk you through what we found.
Why Owners Let Us Handle the Transport
The damage stays as it was
A careless tow can add scrapes, bend a splitter or harm a drivetrain. Careful loading keeps the repair limited to what the collision actually did.
One less move for the car
Going directly to the shop avoids a stop at a holding lot and a second tow later. Fewer moves mean fewer chances for new damage.
Composure when you need it
A collision is unsettling, and the logistics should not add to it. We explain each step plainly and handle the arrangements ourselves.
