Accident Assistance Service: Your Calm in the Aftermath of a Collision

A car accident is one of the most jarring and stressful experiences a driver can face. In the immediate moments following a collision, your mind races with questions and concerns: "Is everyone okay?" "What do I do next?" "How will I get my car off the road?" During this chaotic time, you need more than just a tow truck; you need a comprehensive and compassionate support system. This is the crucial role of a professional Accident Assistance Service.

At Pars Towing, we understand that an accident scene requires a special level of care, expertise, and efficiency. Our dedicated Accident Assistance Service is designed to manage the entire vehicle recovery process for drivers in Aurora and across Ontario, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your safety and well-being.

What is an Accident Assistance Service?

An Accident Assistance Service goes far beyond a standard tow. It is a specialized, all-encompassing service designed to handle the complexities of a post-collision situation. While a standard tow is typically for a mechanical breakdown, accident assistance involves securing the scene, recovering a potentially non-drivable vehicle, coordinating with law enforcement, and ensuring your vehicle is transported safely to the correct location for assessment and repair.

Think of it as having a roadside expert on your side. From the moment we receive your call, our team is prepared to provide not just technical assistance, but also the guidance and reassurance needed to navigate the immediate aftermath of a collision.

The First Steps to Take After an Accident

Before you even call for a tow, your safety is the number one priority. Knowing what to do can make a significant difference.

Ensure Everyone's Safety: First, check yourself and your passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 immediately. If you can do so safely, move your vehicle out of active traffic lanes to the shoulder of the road.

Stay at the Scene: It is legally required to remain at the scene of an accident, especially if there are injuries or significant property damage.

Turn on Hazard Lights: Make your vehicle as visible as possible to other drivers to prevent further incidents.

Contact the Police: In Ontario, you are required to report any collision to the police if the combined damage to vehicles is estimated to be over $2,000 or if someone is injured. The police will create an official report, which is essential for insurance claims.

Exchange Information: Calmly exchange the following with the other driver(s):
- Full Name and Address
- Phone Number
- copyright Number
- Insurance Company and Policy Number
- License Plate Number

Document Everything: Use your phone to take pictures of the accident scene, the position of the cars, the damage to all vehicles involved, and any relevant road signs or conditions.

Call for Professional Accident Assistance: Once the immediate safety concerns are addressed, your next call should be to a trusted service like Pars Towing.

How Pars Towing's Accident Assistance Service Helps

When you call Pars Towing after a collision, you activate a team of trained professionals who will manage the entire vehicle recovery process with precision and care.

1. Rapid and Safe On-Scene Response

We prioritize accident calls because we know time is of the essence. Our dispatch team will send the right truck and operator to your location in Aurora or the surrounding Ontario area immediately. Upon arrival, our first action is to secure the scene. Our operators are trained to work safely in high-traffic environments, using safety lights and cones to create a protected workspace and ensure the safety of everyone involved, including emergency responders.

2. Expert Vehicle Recovery and Towing

Accident-damaged vehicles require careful handling. Unlike a simple breakdown, a car involved in a collision may have compromised structural integrity, broken axles, or deployed airbags. Attempting to tow it with the wrong equipment can cause further, more expensive damage.

Our fleet includes flatbed tow trucks, which are the safest and most effective method for transporting damaged vehicles. The entire vehicle is winched onto the truck's bed, meaning none of its wheels touch the ground. This is critical for:

All-wheel-drive (AWD) and 4x4 vehicles.

Vehicles with extensive damage to the wheels, suspension, or drivetrain.

Low-profile sports cars and luxury vehicles.

Ensuring that no additional stress is placed on the car's frame or components.

Our operators are skilled in complex recovery techniques, including winching vehicles out of ditches or uprighting overturned cars.

3. Seamless Coordination with Authorities

We have extensive experience working alongside the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), local police departments, and fire services. Our team understands accident scene protocols and works efficiently to clear the roadway without interfering with an official investigation. This professional coordination helps to restore normal traffic flow quickly and safely.

4. Secure Vehicle Storage

After an accident, you may not know which auto body shop you want to use, or you may need time for your insurance adjuster to inspect the damage. Pars Towing provides a secure, monitored storage facility where your vehicle can be safely kept. We will hold your vehicle until you and your insurance provider have determined the next steps, giving you peace of mind that your property is protected.

Why You Need a Specialist for Accident Towing

Choosing a towing company with specific accident assistance experience is crucial. An inexperienced operator could worsen the damage to your vehicle, handle the scene unsafely, or add unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation.

A specialized service like ours ensures:

Damage Prevention: We use the right techniques to prevent secondary damage during recovery and transport.

Procedural Knowledge: We understand the insurance process and can help guide you on what to expect.

Professionalism Under Pressure: Our operators remain calm and professional, providing clear communication and efficient service when you need it most.
