After an accident, if you are able to: secure the area with warning triangles, activate hazard lights, call 15 (EMS), 17 (police), or 18 (firefighters) if necessary. Then call our breakdown service. We usually arrive within 20-30 minutes. Do not attempt to move your vehicle if you suspect spinal injuries or if the vehicle is leaking fuel.
Towing of wedged vehicles or vehicles in difficult positions
Some accidents leave vehicles in delicate positions: in a ditch, wedged against a wall, on its side, or overturned. Our equipment includes high-power steel cable winches, hydraulic jacks, and straightening equipment to extract vehicles safely without worsening the damage.
Coordination with insurance companies
After an accident, your insurance must be informed within 5 working days (48 hours in case of theft). We provide a detailed intervention report including the arrival time, description of the incident, vehicle destination, and a list of visible damage. This document is essential for your insurance claim.

After an accident, the vehicle often needs to be inspected by an automotive assessor appointed by your insurance. We can transport your accident vehicle to your insurer's approved garage, to the assessor, or to the garage of your choice. We can also store the vehicle if needed.
