What Is Accident Towing?
Accident towing moves a vehicle that was damaged in a crash from the scene to a safe place. In Allen, police often ask drivers to clear the road quickly. If your car cannot be driven, you need a tow truck that can load it without causing more damage.
Towing Squad uses Flatbed Towing for most wrecks. The whole vehicle rides on the deck, so bent wheels, broken axles and leaking parts never touch the road on the way to the shop.
Signs You Need an Accident Tow
Even a small crash can make a car unsafe to drive. Call for a tow if you see any of these:
- A wheel is bent, flat or pointing the wrong way.
- Fluids are leaking under the car.
- Headlights or tail lights are broken or hanging.
- The hood will not close or blocks your view.
- Warning lights are on, or the airbags went off.
- The car pulls hard, grinds or will not steer straight.
If you are not sure, do not drive it. A short tow costs far less than a second accident.
What We Do at the Crash Scene
As soon as officers release the vehicle, our driver handles the rest. We winch the vehicle onto the flatbed, strap it at the wheels and sweep up loose glass and plastic from the lane. Then we take it where you want it to go.
- Tows to the body shop or dealer you choose.
- Tows to your home or a storage lot while you talk to your insurance company.
- Help with cars, SUVs, pickups and light commercial vehicles.
- Emergency Towing for wrecks late at night or on holidays.

How Much Does Accident Towing Cost?
The cost of an accident tow depends on how far the vehicle goes, how badly it is damaged, how much clean-up is needed and the time of day. A car with a locked wheel takes more work to load than one that rolls freely.
Check your auto policy, since many cover part or all of a crash tow. Call (469) 589-8124 and we will give you a quote on the phone.
