Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose my own tow company after an accident?

Yes. You have the right to choose your tow company. Police may suggest a tow company from their rotation list, but you can request Prime O Towing instead. Let the officer know your preference.

Where will you take my car after an accident?

We transport your vehicle wherever you direct us — your preferred body shop, the insurance company’s recommended facility, your home, or our secure storage lot until you decide.

Can you tow a car with severe accident damage?

Yes. Our flatbed trucks and winch equipment can safely load and transport vehicles with significant damage, including those that cannot roll or steer.

Do you provide storage for accident vehicles?

Yes. If you need time to arrange repairs or an insurance inspection, we can store your vehicle in our secure lot. Storage rates are reasonable and we coordinate with your insurance company.
