Accident towing in Cary — what happens after the crash
Most people have never had a car towed after a wreck, so here is how it actually goes when you call us.
First: safety and the police
If anyone is hurt, call 911 first. If no one is hurt and the car can move, get it out of the travel lanes — onto the shoulder, into a lot or onto a side street — and turn your hazards on. Crashes with injuries or real damage get reported to police; around Cary that may be Cary Police, the State Highway Patrol or another agency, depending on where you are. Get the report number before you leave the scene.
Who tows the car?
If you are able to make the call, you can usually ask for the tow company you want. Sometimes an officer needs the road cleared right away and calls a company directly instead — that is their call to make. If you would like WTF Towing, tell the officer and call (919) 230-4498 as soon as everyone is safe.
Where your car goes
You decide: home, the body shop your insurance company works with, a shop you trust, or the dealer. If you do not know yet, tell us — we will talk through the options with you so the car does not end up somewhere you have to pay to move it from again.
The right truck for the damage
A car that still rolls and steers straight can usually go on the wheel-lift behind our Ram wrecker. A car with a damaged wheel or suspension, an all-wheel-drive vehicle or an EV goes on one of our flatbed rollbacks, so nothing gets worse on the way. The driver will tell you which truck it needs before he hooks up.
Insurance and paperwork
Keep your receipt and the police report number. Many policies with collision or towing coverage handle the tow as part of the claim — check your policy or call your insurer to start the claim, and tell them where the car is going. We tow for drivers no matter who insures them.
What to have ready when you call
- Your location: the road, the direction you were heading, the nearest exit or cross street.
- Whether anyone is hurt, and whether police are on the way or already there.
- Year, make and model, and whether the car rolls and steers.
- Where you want the car to go.

What Cary drivers say
My EV6 high voltage system warning failed on July 4th.WTF came and got me dropped off to the dealership and on my way. Really appreciate the ride and the rescue.
Darius is the man ! The brother went out his way to get my car towed when steering wheel was locked. Above and beyond ! And got it to my house safely
Showed up when they said they would. Took pictures of the car from every angle. Made sure the car would clear the ramp because it’s low to the ground. And to top it all off, the driver was very personable as well! I would highly recommend WTF Towing.
I hope I have it correct. I think his name was Ricardo, but he was absolutely amazing, very friendly, very informative. I mean, the service was absolutely wonderful. I kid you not, if I could give 10 stars, I would. Very professional, keep up the good work.
These guys are awesome! They had to tow my Jeep twice (Imagine that a broken Jeep) already to two different shops. They are quick, professional and know what they are doing!
