Tow yard and repair records

If your car was towed after a crash, keep the paper trail together.

Tow-yard receipts, storage charges, repair estimates, rental records, claim numbers, photos, and injury notes can get scattered quickly. Use this checklist to organize the details before requesting a free accident review.

Crash-to-tow checklist

  1. Write down where the vehicle went. Record the tow company, storage lot, phone number, vehicle release rules, and pickup deadline if one was provided.
  2. Separate towing and storage charges. Keep itemized receipts so towing, daily storage, administrative fees, and release fees are not mixed together later.
  3. Save repair and total-loss paperwork. Keep the first estimate, supplement estimates, repair photos, appraiser notes, and any total-loss valuation notices.
  4. Track transportation interruptions. Save rental car contracts, rideshare receipts, mileage notes, missed work, childcare, or transportation costs related to the crash.
  5. Connect vehicle records with injury records. Keep tow/repair paperwork near medical visit notes, symptom timelines, police report numbers, claim numbers, and photos.
  6. Request a free review if you were injured. If you were hurt or symptoms appeared after the crash, a free review request can help organize the intake details for possible follow-up.

This page gives accident customers a neutral way to organize records without asking a partner to collect private details or give advice. Partners can share the page or QR field kit when a customer asks what to keep.

  • Do not assume storage charges prove fault
  • Do not promise a settlement or case value
  • Do not let a shop, tow company, or ARC employee give legal advice
  • Do not submit someone else's private accident information for them
