Accident Towing Services
Flatbed Collision Towing
After a collision, we winch the car onto the bed and strap it down at four points. It's the safest way to move a car with suspension damage, a deployed airbag or steering that doesn't track straight.
Cars That Won't Roll
A wheel folded under, a locked brake or a pushed-in fender against the tire means the car can't roll up the ramp. We set it on wheel skates and winch it slowly, so the body isn't scraped or torn further.
Cars That Left the Road
If the crash put the car in a ditch, a field or someone's yard, it has to be pulled back to pavement first. Our winch-out service page explains how we do that without adding damage.
Motorcycle Crashes
A downed bike needs soft straps and a wheel chock, not a hook. See our motorcycle towing page for how we load a damaged bike.
Pickups, Vans and Work Trucks
Heavier and longer than a sedan, but still light-duty. For box trucks, buses and tractor-trailers involved in a crash, see 18-wheeler towing.
From the Storage Lot to Your Shop
If police already had your car towed to a storage facility, every day there adds a fee. Once it's released to you, we can pick it up and take it to your body shop or home.
Who Responds to a Crash in Missouri City
Missouri City sits in two counties, Fort Bend and Harris, and several agencies patrol the roads in and around it. Which one shows up depends on exactly where the crash happened.
City Streets
Inside the city limits, Missouri City police usually handle the scene. On a busy road like Texas Parkway or Cartwright Road, officers may ask you to move a drivable car to a parking lot first.
County Roads and Unincorporated Areas
Parts of the area just outside the city limits are patrolled by the county sheriff or a county constable instead. The crash report will come from that agency, so note the officer's name and department.
State Highways and Toll Roads
The Fort Bend Parkway toll road is tag-only, with exits at Sienna Parkway, Highway 6, Lake Olympia Parkway and McHard Road. If you crash there, tell dispatch the nearest exit and your direction, so we enter at the right ramp.
Steps That Make Your Insurance Claim Easier
Call 911 if Anyone Is Hurt
If anyone is injured, a car is blocking traffic or fuel is leaking, call 911 before you call a tow company. If the cars can be driven and nobody's hurt, Texas law expects you to move them out of the travel lanes.
Photos Before the Tow
Photograph both vehicles, the plates, the road and any skid marks before anything is moved. Exchange insurance and contact details with the other driver.
Get the Crash Report
When police write a Texas Peace Officer's Crash Report, you can usually buy a copy online through TxDOT's Crash Report Online Purchase System once it's filed. Your adjuster will ask for it.
Tow It or Drive It? Signs It Shouldn't Be Driven
Plenty of fender-benders can be driven home. Plenty can't, even when the damage looks cosmetic. If you see any of these, have it towed:
A warning light came on after the impact, especially brakes, airbags, steering or temperature.
Fluid on the pavement under the car: coolant, oil, brake fluid or fuel.
The car pulls to one side or the steering wheel sits crooked when you drive straight.
A wheel looks tilted in or out, or a tire is cut, bulging or rubbing on bodywork.
A headlight or taillight is out and it's getting dark. That's a ticket and a second crash waiting to happen.
The hood or a door won't latch, or a bumper is dragging.
Driving on hidden suspension or cooling damage can turn a body-shop repair into an engine or axle repair. When in doubt, a short tow costs less than finding out the hard way. If you're not sure, describe it to dispatch and we'll give you a straight answer.
Accident Towing Cost and Insurance
Most local tows around Missouri City run $85 to $175. A wreck can cost more if the car needs winching, skates or extra time on scene, and after-hours calls typically add 25% to 50%. We itemize all of it before dispatch.
Check your coverage. Collision coverage and many roadside plans include towing after a crash.
At-fault driver's insurer. If the other driver caused it, their liability coverage usually pays as part of your property damage claim. Keep our itemized receipt.
Your shop, your choice. Texas insurance law says an insurer can't require you to use a particular repair shop.
Accident Towing FAQs
Often, yes, if your car isn't blocking traffic and the officer agrees. Tell the officer you've already called us. If police order an immediate tow from their rotation list, your car goes with that company, and we can move it to your shop afterward.
Your body shop, a dealer, your insurer's drive-in claims center or your driveway. Tell dispatch the address so it's in the quote.
If there's a warning light, a fluid leak, a damaged tire or the steering pulls, don't drive it. Hidden suspension damage can make a car unsafe even when the body looks fine.
We pick up the larger pieces from the vehicles we tow so the lane can reopen.
Texas tow companies are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), and you can search any company by name on TDLR's website.
If you carry uninsured motorist property damage coverage, it may pay for the tow and repairs, usually after a deductible. Otherwise, your collision coverage is the next place to look. Either way, keep the crash report number and our itemized receipt.
Yes, always on a flatbed. A damaged high-voltage battery can heat up hours later, so we drop it outdoors, away from buildings and other cars, and tell the shop it was in a collision.
