Vehicle recovery: when the car is no longer on the road
A vehicle that has left the road cannot simply be loaded up. We use the winch to recover it from the ditch, embankment or verge, secure the scene and take it away, at night too. We do not have a crane. Whether we can recover your vehicle, we clarify on the phone.

When a vehicle needs recovery
We call it recovery when a vehicle can no longer get to the tow truck on its own wheels. Typical cases:
- Vehicle in a ditch or on an embankment
- Vehicle against a crash barrier, pole or obstacle after an accident
- Vehicle on a grass verge or on rough ground
- Wheels locked or axle damaged
Towing or recovery?
If the vehicle is on the road and can still roll, towing is usually enough. If it is off the road or can no longer be moved, it has to be recovered first. On the phone we work out with you what is needed. A photo via WhatsApp helps us a lot.
Safety at the scene
We secure the scene with warning lights and coordinate with the police and fire service if they are there.
Questions about this
Do you recover vehicles at night?
Yes. We are available around the clock and also come out at night.
Who pays for the recovery after an accident?
If it was not your fault, usually the other driver's motor liability insurance. Otherwise it depends on your comprehensive cover or breakdown cover (Schutzbrief). There is more on this in our guides.
Where does the vehicle go after the recovery?
Wherever you want: to a garage or to our fenced yard in Korntal until everything is settled with the insurer.
