Our Accident Recovery
Process
Accident recovery follows a systematic approach developed through
thousands of responses:
Step 1: Dispatch — When you call 480-725-5862 (or
we’re dispatched by law enforcement), we immediately deploy the nearest
appropriate equipment to your location.
Step 2: Scene Assessment — Upon arrival, our
operator checks in with on-scene officers or fire personnel and assesses
the vehicle’s condition and position. We determine the safest recovery
method.
Step 3: Safety Setup — We position our truck to
protect the scene from traffic while providing optimal access for
recovery. We deploy cones, lights, and warning equipment as needed.
Step 4: Vehicle Recovery — Using winching, lifting,
or uprighting equipment as appropriate, we carefully extract the vehicle
from its accident position. For rollovers, this may involve specialized
equipment.
Step 5: Damage Assessment — We visually inspect the
vehicle to determine appropriate transport method. Damaged vehicles
typically require flatbed transport to prevent further damage.
Step 6: Loading and Securing — The vehicle is loaded
onto our flatbed or attached to our wrecker using methods appropriate
for its condition. We secure it for safe transport.
Step 7: Scene Cleanup — We collect debris, sweep the
roadway if requested, and ensure the scene is left safe for traffic.
Step 8: Transport — We deliver your vehicle to your
chosen destination—repair shop, insurance assessment location, or secure
storage.
Step 9: Documentation — We provide documentation of
the tow, including pickup location, condition notes, and delivery
location for your insurance claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I choose which towing company responds to my
accident? A: In most cases, yes. If you’re able to request a
specific company, you can call Tow Mesa directly. If police dispatch
towing on a rotation basis, you’ll get whichever company is next on the
rotation.
Q: What should I do while waiting for the tow truck after an
accident? A: Stay safe—move away from traffic if possible.
Exchange insurance information with other involved parties. Take photos
of the scene and damage. Our operator will handle the vehicle when they
arrive.
Q: Can you take my car to any repair shop I choose?
A: Yes. We’ll transport your vehicle to any destination you specify—your
preferred body shop, the dealer, or secure storage while you decide.
Q: What if my car needs to be held as evidence? A:
In serious accidents, police may impound the vehicle as evidence. We
follow law enforcement instructions and can hold vehicles in secure
storage pending release.
Q: Do you handle commercial vehicle accidents? A:
Yes. Our heavy-duty division handles semi-truck, bus, and commercial
vehicle accidents. See our Heavy
Duty Towing service for more information.
Q: Can you help if my car is leaking fluids after an
accident? A: We carry basic fluid containment materials for
minor leaks. For significant spills, hazmat response is typically
handled by fire departments. We coordinate with them as needed.
Q: What if I’m injured and can’t be at the scene when my car
is towed? A: We work with law enforcement to ensure your
vehicle is properly secured. We can transport it to storage and
coordinate with you or your representative later.
Q: How do I get my belongings from my damaged car?
A: If your vehicle is taken to storage, you can retrieve personal items
during business hours. We’ll help you access your vehicle safely.
Q: Do you provide accident recovery 24/7? A: Yes.
Accidents don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. Our accident
recovery teams are available around the clock, every day of the
year.
Q: Will towing damage my car further? A: We use
flatbed transport for most accident-damaged vehicles specifically to
prevent additional damage. Your vehicle won’t be dragged or wheel-lifted
if that could cause problems.
