What Does Accident Towing in Atlanta Involve?
A crash scrambles your thinking. Your heart is racing, traffic is still moving around you, and you suddenly have a lot of decisions to make. Our part is simple: once the scene is safe, we load your wrecked car and take it where you want it to go, whether that's a body shop, a dealer, your home or a storage lot.
Most collisions leave cars that shouldn't be driven, even if the engine still runs. A leaking radiator, a bent wheel, a loose bumper or broken lights can make the drive home risky. When in doubt, have it towed.
Damaged cars usually ride on a flatbed, so a crushed corner or a wheel that won't turn isn't dragged along the road. Our flatbed towing in Atlanta page explains how that works. If the damage is minor and the car simply won't start, regular car towing in Atlanta may be all you need.
What Should You Do Before You Call a Tow Truck?
These general safety steps come first. Follow any instructions from police or emergency responders at the scene.
1. Get to safety if you can
If the car can move and it's safe, pull out of traffic onto the shoulder or a side street. If not, stay buckled in or move to a safe spot away from the road.
2. Turn on your hazard lights
Hazard lights warn other drivers, especially at night or on a fast road like I-20 or the Downtown Connector.
3. Call 911 when needed
Call 911 if anyone is hurt, if lanes are blocked, or if you see smoke or fire. Get a police report if one is required.
4. Then call us
Call (470) 905-2410 with your location and tell us where you'd like the car to go. We dispatch quickly and give you a current ETA.
What Happens When the Tow Truck Arrives?
The driver checks the scene and the car, then decides how to load it. A car with crushed wheels or a damaged front end may need to be winched onto the flatbed. Before the car leaves, take out everything you'll need over the next few days: your phone, wallet, keys, registration papers, child seats, medicine, work items and anything from the trunk. It may be a while before you see the car again.
You decide where the car goes. If you aren't sure yet, it's fine to have it towed home or to a storage lot of your choice while you decide. Write down where it's going so you know where to find it later.
Crashes involving larger vehicles happen too. If a semi truck, trailer, bus or box truck was involved and needs to be moved, see our heavy duty towing in Atlanta page or mention it when you call.

Accident Towing Questions
What should I do right after a car accident in Atlanta?
First, move to safety if you can and turn on your hazard lights. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or lanes are blocked, get a police report if one is required, and then call us at (470) 905-2410 for the tow.
Can I choose where my car is towed after an accident?
Yes. When you call us, you choose the destination, whether it's a body shop, a dealer, your home or a storage lot. Give us the address when you call so we can include it in your free quote.
Can you tow a car that won't roll after a crash?
Yes. A car that won't roll can be winched onto a flatbed so it rides with all four wheels off the road. Tell us about locked wheels or heavy damage when you call so we come prepared.
Do I call the police or the tow truck first?
If anyone is hurt or lanes are blocked, call 911 first. Get a police report if one is required and follow the officer's instructions, then call us for the tow.
What do I need to tell you when I call after an accident?
Tell us your exact location, the vehicle's make, model and color, how badly it's damaged and whether it rolls. Also tell us where you want it taken and whether police are still at the scene.
