CASE STUDY
A Real Story: Post-Accident on I-610
“One evening, a driver rear-ended another car on I-610. Both airbags deployed. The front of his SUV was crushed and the car would not move.”
OUR ACTION
He called Houston Towing right after 911. We arrived before the police left the scene. Our driver used a flatbed to load the SUV without touching the damaged front axle.
THE RESULT
The issue was a badly damaged car on a busy interstate. The solution was wrecker services in Houston from Houston Towing — right equipment, right approach, zero extra damage.
Do Not Let Just Any Truck Touch Your Car
After an accident, some tow trucks show up without being called. These are called “bandit towers.” They often:
- Charge fees you did not agree to
- Take your car to lots that charge daily storage
- Use wrong equipment that causes more damage
ALWAYS CALL A COMPANY YOU TRUST. HOUSTON TOWING ONLY COMES WHEN YOU CALL US.
When You Need More Than a Basic Wrecker
