What to Do at the Scene of a Crash

The minutes right after a collision shape how safely everyone gets home. Switch on your hazard lights, check yourself and your passengers for injuries, and only move the vehicle if it is rolling freely and blocking live traffic. On a fast corridor like Highway 99 or the Trans-Canada, leave the car where it is, climb out on the side away from traffic, and wait behind a barrier rather than standing beside crumpled metal.

Once people are safe, photograph the resting position of each vehicle, the damage, the licence plates, and the surrounding lane markings before anything is moved. Exchange insurance and contact details with the other driver, and in British Columbia call the police whenever someone is hurt or the combined damage looks to exceed the ICBC reporting limit. Those photos and notes make your claim far smoother later.

When you call us, tell the dispatcher whether the car is leaking fluid, sitting on a median, or tangled with a guardrail. That lets us send a flatbed and the right rigging on the first trip instead of a second callout.

How We Recover a Damaged Vehicle

Crash damage changes how a car must be lifted. Bent control arms, seized wheels, a dragging bumper, or a deployed airbag mean the vehicle often cannot roll or steer normally, so we favour a flatbed and a controlled winch pull rather than a quick hook-and-go. Skids and recovery boards protect the underbody, and we secure the shell at the frame instead of damaged body panels to avoid widening the damage on the way to the shop.

We deliver to the body shop, dealership, ICBC facility, or storage yard of your choosing. If you have not decided yet, we can hold the vehicle securely until you and your adjuster agree on the next step, so a stressful day does not force a rushed decision.
