Some vehicles may require a locksmith, dealership, or specialized service.
Do you deliver fuel?

Orlando Vehicle Recovery Questions
What is the difference between towing and vehicle recovery?
Towing usually begins with an accessible vehicle on a normal driving surface.
Vehicle recovery may involve winching, repositioning, or additional assessment. The vehicle may be stuck, damaged, off the road, or difficult to access.
Can you pull a vehicle out of mud or sand?
Recovery may be available depending on the depth, surface, slope, vehicle position, access, and available equipment.
Stop accelerating when the tires spin. Continued attempts may cause the vehicle to sink deeper.
Can you recover a vehicle from a ditch?
Ditch recovery may be possible after the slope, ground stability, vehicle condition, and surrounding hazards are evaluated.
Call 911 first when the vehicle blocks traffic or creates an immediate danger.
What photos should I provide for a recovery request?
Provide wide photos showing the vehicle and surrounding area. Include closer photos of visible damage.
Show the surface, slope, nearby obstacles, access route, and direction the vehicle may need to move.
Can you recover a vehicle after an accident?
Accident recovery may be possible after emergency responders or the responsible authority permit the vehicle to be moved.
Call 911 first for injuries, fire, leaking fuel, blocked roads, or another immediate hazard.
Can every stuck vehicle be recovered?
No. Availability depends on access, equipment, vehicle size, position, damage, terrain, weather, and surrounding hazards.

Can you remove a vehicle that has no wheels?
Removal may be possible, but missing wheels can require additional equipment and preparation.
Disclose all missing parts and provide photos before scheduling.
Can you remove a junk car without keys?
Removal may be possible without keys. Missing keys can affect steering, loading, wheel position, and access.

A vehicle cannot be voluntarily sold by someone who does not own it. Call with the circumstances and available documentation.
Repossession and Voluntary Surrender Questions
Do you provide repossession assistance?
Repossession assistance may include authorized vehicle transport, voluntary surrender coordination, or support for qualified commercial clients.
Regulated work is accepted only when proper authorization, documentation, licensing, and operational requirements are satisfied.
What is a voluntary vehicle surrender?
A voluntary surrender generally occurs when a vehicle owner cooperates with returning a financed vehicle to the lender or its authorized representative.
The lender should provide the destination, instructions, required documents, and authorized contact information.
Can a vehicle owner arrange surrender pickup?
The owner may call to discuss vehicle transport. The lender or authorized party should confirm the surrender instructions.
A towing company cannot negotiate the loan or promise how the surrender will affect the borrower’s balance or credit.
