Auto Wrecker Services in Amarillo TX
When a car is past the point of being driven, that is wrecker work. Collision-damaged vehicles, totaled cars after an accident, junk cars that have been sitting for years, salvage cars headed to the yard for parts - different jobs than a regular tow, and they need different equipment and a careful approach. Call 806-615-3601 for wrecker work in Amarillo and the Panhandle.
What auto wrecker means
A "wrecker" can mean a few different things in towing. In our shop it covers any vehicle that cannot drive itself onto the bed and back off - collision damage, dead engines, sitting-in-the-yard-for-five-years junk cars, salvage parts vehicles, abandoned cars on private property. We tow them all, and most of it goes on the flatbed because the wheels do not roll right.
Wrecker services we run
Collision Towing
Collision tows need extra care because the car is already damaged. Wrong tow equipment can bend a frame that was salvageable, tear off a bumper, or leak fluid all over the highway. We use flatbed for almost every collision call. Most of our collision work is on I-40 east and west, on I-27 toward Canyon TX, and at the bigger intersections inside Loop 335.
Accident Towing
The police will usually call a rotation tow truck for an accident scene, but you can request a specific company. Tell the responding officer you want Amarillo Towing Co. We work with body shops and insurance adjusters across Amarillo and we will hold the car at our yard while you sort out where it should go.
Junk Car Removal
Got a truck rusting in a backyard off San Jacinto? A car that has not run since the last ice storm? Junk car towing is one of the easiest calls we run. You do not need to start it. You do not need a key. In some cases you do not even need the title - call us and we will walk you through it. We pick up junk cars from driveways, alleys, side yards, and vacant lots anywhere in Amarillo.
What about salvage and parts cars
If you bought a parts car at auction and need it hauled to your shop, that is a wrecker job too. Same for cars headed to a salvage yard. We tow it from wherever it is sitting to wherever you want it. Within Amarillo it is a flat-rate haul. Out to Canyon, Dumas, Hereford, or further into the Panhandle, it is priced per mile.
Coordinating with insurance and body shops
After a wreck, the question is usually "where does the car go?" Most of the time the answer is a body shop, a salvage yard, or our yard while insurance figures it out. We have working relationships with most of the body shops in Amarillo and we can drop the car wherever you need without any extra hassle. If insurance is involved, we can give them whatever paperwork they need.
