Los Lunas Towing & Roadside Help
Accident towing is different from moving an ordinary disabled vehicle.
A collision can affect the wheels, steering, suspension, body, cooling system, and the vehicle's ability to roll. In more severe cases, the vehicle may need to be recovered before it can even be loaded.
Rio Rancho Towing provides towing, accident recovery, roadside assistance, and vehicle transport in Los Lunas, NM.
Accident Towing
After a crash, do not assume the vehicle is safe to drive simply because the engine still runs.
Damage may involve:
- Steering
- Suspension
- Wheels
- Tires
- Cooling components
- Lighting
- Body panels
- Fluid systems
- Towing can move the vehicle to a body shop, repair facility, storage site, or another requested destination.
Winch-Out and Recovery
A vehicle that leaves the roadway can require recovery before towing.
Winching may be needed if the vehicle is:
- In soft ground
- Off the shoulder
- Down an incline
- Unable to roll
- Positioned at an angle
- Blocked by collision damage
What to Tell the Tow Company After an Accident
Useful details include:
- Vehicle type
- Number of damaged tires
- Whether wheels can turn
- Whether the vehicle is off-road
- Whether fluids are leaking
- Whether airbags deployed
- Whether the car can roll
This information helps determine equipment requirements.
Flatbed Towing for Damaged Vehicles
A flatbed may be appropriate for vehicles that cannot be safely transported using another towing method.
The towing approach depends on actual damage.

We also handle disabled vehicles with engine, battery, tire, electrical, and other mechanical problems.
Roadside Help
Jump starts, flat tire assistance, lockouts, and fuel delivery can help drivers whose vehicles remain otherwise usable.
