HOW WE HANDLE A REPOSSESSION ASSIGNMENT

Every assignment starts with the paperwork, not the truck. Before a recovery agent rolls, we confirm the order is valid, the account is current for recovery, and the collateral and last-known location match what the lender has on file. We work the assignment quietly and within Texas regulations: no confrontational recoveries, no breach of the peace. Smith Towing & Recovery has run greater Houston since 2001, and lenders use us because the recovery closes cleanly and the file stays clean. A real dispatcher is reachable 24/7/365 if a field situation needs a decision.

DOCUMENTATION & CONDITION REPORTS

When the unit is secured, it gets documented on the spot. We complete a vehicle inspection report and capture date- and time-stamped photo documentation of the exterior, interior, odometer, VIN, and any pre-existing damage before transport. Personal property is inventoried and held per the rules so it can be returned to the borrower on request. The condition report and photos go back to you with the recovery confirmation, the record you need if the account or the collateral is ever disputed.

SECURED ON-SITE STORAGE & RELEASE

Recovered units come back to our own 4-acre secured facility in Crosby (fenced, lit, with an enclosed shop for higher-value collateral), not an open lot or a third-party yard. Because storage is on-site and under our control, you always know where your asset is and the chain of custody never leaves our hands. We coordinate redemption, lender pickup, transport to auction, or release to a designated agent on your instruction, and we hand off with the documentation and any inventoried personal property in order.

VEHICLE, COMMERCIAL & EQUIPMENT REPOSSESSION

We recover passenger vehicles, but the value to a commercial lender is the heavy side. With a 35-ton heavy wrecker and 50- and 75-ton rotators in the fleet, we recover Class 8 tractors, loaded and empty trailers, box trucks, and titled construction and industrial equipment that a light-duty agency simply cannot lift or load safely. Larger collateral is handled by an operator who understands the weight and the balance, secured properly, and transported damage-free. The recovery itself doesn’t add to the loss on the account.

LENDER & FINANCE COMPANY ACCOUNTS

We set up standing accounts for banks, credit unions, buy-here-pay-here dealers, finance companies, and asset-recovery firms across greater Houston. Onboarding is straightforward: we confirm your assignment and document requirements, agree on storage and release terms, and give you a single dispatch point for every order. You submit the assignment, we work it, and you get a recovery confirmation with the condition report and photos attached. Net-30 commercial accounts are available, so repossession billing fits the same terms as the rest of your fleet and recovery work with us.
