Post-Collision Vehicle Recovery in Dublin
Dublin Tow provides accident recovery and post-collision towing across all of Dublin, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have been involved in a road accident — whether a minor shunt or a more serious collision — and your vehicle cannot be driven away, our team will be with you in around 30 minutes to recover and transport it safely.
A vehicle involved in a collision may have sustained damage to its bodywork, wheels, suspension or steering that makes it unsafe or impossible to drive. Our flatbed trucks are the right equipment for loading and transporting a damaged vehicle — all four wheels come fully off the ground, so there is no risk of worsening damage during transit. We handle the vehicle with care and deliver it directly to your chosen destination.
We understand that being in an accident is stressful and disorienting. Our job is to take the vehicle off your hands so you can focus on dealing with insurance, Gardaí, or getting home safely. We work quickly and professionally, and we will talk you through what to expect from the moment you call until your vehicle is delivered.
What to Do After a Road Accident
The moments after a collision can be confusing. Following these steps will keep you safe and help us assist you as quickly as possible.
- Check for injuries — call 999 first if anyone is hurt
- Switch on hazard lights and move to safety if you can
- Call Gardaí if required (injury, dispute, or road blockage)
- Exchange insurance and contact details with other parties
- Take photos of the scene and vehicles before they are moved
- Call Dublin Tow on 085 820 8677 to arrange recovery
Working with Your Insurance
If you are making an insurance claim, your insurer may direct you to an approved repairer. Let us know the destination when you call and we will deliver your vehicle directly there. We provide a full receipt and any documentation your insurer requires. If you need to arrange your own recovery independently and reclaim the cost, we can provide the paperwork to support your claim — just ask when you call.
We do not work on behalf of any insurance companies directly, which means we work for you. You tell us where the vehicle goes and we take it there.
