Collision Towing in Amarillo TX

After a wreck, the last thing you need is more damage to a car that is already messed up. Collision towing in Amarillo TX means careful loading, the right equipment, and a driver who knows what not to hook a winch line to. Call 806-615-3601 from the scene and we will get a flatbed rolling.

Why collision towing is different

A collision tow is not the same as a regular tow. The car has already absorbed an impact. The frame might be bent. The bumper is probably loose. Tow hooks may be inaccessible. The wheels may not roll straight. Cooling lines, brake lines, or fuel lines may be leaking. A wheel-lift hookup that would be fine on a healthy car can rip parts off a wrecked one.

We use a flatbed for almost every collision call. The car goes up the ramp on a winch, gets strapped down at safe points, and rides without any wheels turning or any pressure on damaged areas.

At the scene

If you are at an accident scene right now:

  1. Make sure everyone is safe and out of traffic if possible
  2. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or the scene is blocking the roadway
  3. Wait for police - they will document the scene
  4. Call us at 806-615-3601 to dispatch a flatbed
  5. Tell the responding officer you have your own tow company - you do not have to use the rotation tow truck the police call

If the police already called a rotation tow, you can usually still request your tow company instead. Just ask.

Where collision tows happen in Amarillo

Most of our collision work happens in predictable spots:

  • I-40 east and west across Amarillo, especially near interchanges
  • I-27 south toward Canyon TX, particularly during fog or ice events
  • Coulter and Hillside intersection
  • Georgia and 45th
  • Bell and I-40
  • Loop 335 anywhere it crosses Soncy, Hollywood, or Coulter
  • Downtown intersections during rush hour

After the tow

You usually have three options for where the car goes after a collision:

  • Body shop - if the car is repairable and you know which shop you want
  • Our yard - if you need a place to hold it while insurance works the claim
  • Salvage yard - if it is totaled and headed for parts

We work with most body shops in Amarillo and can drop the car at any of them. If your insurance adjuster needs paperwork, we can provide it.

Call 806-615-3601 for collision towing across Amarillo TX, day or night.
