(WINCH-OUT / RECOVERY)
Accident Towing & Vehicle Recovery
What is vehicle recovery?
Vehicle recovery is getting a car or truck back to safety after it has gone off the road, into a ditch, down an embankment, or is stuck where a standard tow truck cannot reach. Day and Night Towing handles recovery across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles, including jobs other companies turn down. Accident towing and recovery are two different things: an accident is a collision, and a recovery is an extraction.
Accident towing
After a collision, Day and Night Towing moves your vehicle safely off the road and to where it needs to go. Most accident calls come directly from the driver or from one of our accounts, not from police, so if you have been in an accident, you can call us directly. We collect your location and vehicle details and send the right truck.
Off-road and canyon recovery
When a vehicle goes over the side of a road or down a slope, it takes specialized equipment and trained operators to bring it back safely. Day and Night Towing has recovered vehicles that landed as far as 150 to 200 feet off the road, jobs other companies could not handle. If you have full-coverage insurance, recovery costs are often covered by your insurance, and we can work directly with your insurance company on the claim.
Winch-outs and 4×4 recovery
If your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, a ditch, or off-road on a rural trail, a winch-out pulls it free. Day and Night Towing runs 4×4-capable trucks that can reach vehicles standard trucks cannot, so we handle winch-outs and off-road recoveries that other companies refer out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I call the police or the tow company after an accident?
For a collision, most drivers call Day and Night Towing directly, or the call comes through one of our accounts. If there are injuries or a blocked lane, call emergency services first for your safety.
Does insurance cover vehicle recovery?
Often, yes. If you have full-coverage insurance, recovery costs are frequently covered, and Day and Night Towing can work directly with your insurance company on the claim.
Can you reach a vehicle that went off the road?
Yes. Day and Night Towing has recovered vehicles 150 to 200 feet off the road using the right equipment, including jobs other companies turned down.
What is the difference between a tow and a recovery?
A tow moves a drivable-position vehicle from point A to point B. A recovery extracts a vehicle that is stuck, off-road, or down a slope before it can be towed.
