Welcome to Certified Towing & Transport
Thank you for visiting our site. At Certified Towing & Transport, we understand more than anyone the stress and urgency that come when your vehicle is involved in a collision or needs body-shop repair. Our mission is simple: to provide fast, safe, and dependable transport of your vehicle to and from collision repair facilities, helping you get back on the road—and back to life—as seamlessly as possible.
When disaster strikes—whether a minor fender bender or a major impact—we are here 24/7 to support you. We’re not just a tow service; we’re your partner in recovery. Our full-service fleet and trained professionals ensure your vehicle is handled with the respect and care it deserves.
Why You May Need Collision & Body-Shop Assistance
1. The Immediate Aftermath of a Collision
After you’ve been in an accident, your vehicle may be unsafe or unable to move under its own power. Driving it could further damage the frame, suspension, or drivetrain—and could even be illegal or unsafe. That’s where a specialized transport service becomes essential. At that moment, you need a provider who knows how to load, transport, and deliver the vehicle safely to a repair facility.
2. Protecting Your Investment
Modern vehicles are built with sophisticated structures, sensors, and safety systems. In a collision scenario, dragging a vehicle or using improper towing methods can worsen damage or compromise future safety performance. By choosing a company experienced in collision and body shop logistics, like ours, you ensure your vehicle arrives at the repair facility in proper condition, ready for diagnostics, disassembly, and repair.
3. Coordination with Body Shops & Insurance Partners
When your vehicle is headed for a body shop, timing and documentation matter. The right transport provider will liaise with the repair shop and your insurance adjuster to make sure the vehicle arrives when needed, with minimal delays. At Certified Towing & Transport, we are equipped to work with collision centers, insurance carriers, and restoration shops so the hand-off is smooth.
4. Minimizing Liability and Risk
Transporting a damaged vehicle involves unique risks—broken glass, fluid leaks, frame instability, misalignment, hazardous materials (airbags, fuel vapors). A company experienced in collision and body-shop assistance understands how to mitigate these hazards, secure the vehicle properly, and prevent further damage. We bring equipment, expertise, and protocols tailored for post-accident transport.
5. Time-Sensitive Recovery
In many cases, the sooner your vehicle is at the body shop, the faster the repair process can begin. This helps reduce storage costs, limits further deterioration (rust, exposure to elements), and can expedite insurance claim processing. Our prompt response and rapid transport get your vehicle moving in the repair pipeline.
Our Collision & Body Shop Assistance Services
Safe Vehicle Recovery & Transport
We offer 24/7 vehicle recovery services from the accident scene. Whether your car is off-road, stuck in a ditch, or blocking traffic, our trained operators use flatbeds, dollies, and winch systems to remove it safely. We load it with the correct procedures so the body shop receives it ready for assessment.
Transport to & From Body Shops
Once we recover the vehicle, we transport it directly to the repair facility you choose—or one approved by your insurer. We also provide return transport when the job is done and you’re ready for pickup. Our goal is zero additional damage during transit. As our website notes, we offer collision and body shop assistance and are fully equipped to transport the vehicle you have to the collision or body shop.
Damage-Free Loading & Unloading
Our fleet of flatbed and rollback trucks ensures gentle, damage-free transport. We secure the vehicle to industry standards—no dragging, no improper tie-downs. This reduces the risk of additional cosmetic or structural damage during transit.
Coordination & Logistics
We coordinate with you, your insurer, and the repair shop to set pickup and drop-off times, handle documentation, and streamline the process. Our dispatch communicates clearly so you’re informed every step of the way.
Storage & Secure Holding
In some cases, your vehicle may require temporary holding before repair begins. We offer secure vehicle holding so your vehicle sits safely until the body shop is ready—protecting your asset from weather, vandalism, or theft.
Heavy Equipment & Specialized Transport
Beyond standard vehicles, we also handle heavy equipment, machinery, and non-road vehicles that require body-shop work or collision repair. This service allows fleet managers or equipment owners to consolidate transport and repair logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to wait for my insurance company before calling you?
A: No. You can call us immediately after the accident. We’ll transport your vehicle safely to the shop of your choice. You can coordinate with your insurer later. Early transport often reduces delays in repairs.
Q: What if my car is severely damaged and cannot roll onto the truck?
A: That’s exactly what our winch and recovery equipment is for. We safely load vehicles that cannot roll, that are in unstable positions, or that require specialized handling.
Q: Will transporting the car affect my insurance claim?
A: Not when handled properly. In fact, transporting your vehicle quickly to a licensed collision repair center may help your claim by limiting additional damage. We work to preserve condition and provide documentation of transport.
Q: Can you deliver to any body shop?
A: Yes. You choose the body shop—whether it’s your preferred shop, your insurer’s approved facility, or one we recommend. We serve Cypress, Katy, Spring, Tomball, and the broader Houston region.
Q: Is there extra cost for after-hours or emergency service?
A: We offer 24/7 service. While rates depend on vehicle condition, location, and time, we always provide clear pricing up front before loading. No hidden fees.

Exposure to weather or the elements may induce rust, deterioration, or interior damage.
