VOLUNTARY
REPOSSESSIONS

When a vehicle owner chooses to surrender their unit, we handle the entire process. Our team coordinates pickup, transport, and safe return to the lien holder, all at a reduced cost.

IN-HOUSE
LOCKSMITH

Our licensed locksmiths are equipped to cut and program keys for nearly any vehicle. From modern laser-cut keys and electronic fobs to older models, we deliver fast, reliable solutions.

Involuntary
Repossession

The most common recovery service we provide. When banks and debtors can’t reach an agreement, we step in to secure the vehicle quickly, discreetly, and without unnecessary confrontation.

Skip
Tracing

Vehicles often disappear when debtors move or hide them. Our experienced skip tracers use proven tools and methods to locate missing collateral—even cases that have been unresolved for years.

Secure
Storage

Recovered vehicles are stored in facilities built specifically for repossession. With electronic gates, controlled access, and 22 security cameras at each site, every asset stays fully protected.

License Plate
Recognition (LPR)

Our network of 120 DRN LPR systems captures over 20 million license plate scans every month, giving our clients a powerful data advantage in the recovery process.
This level of coverage dramatically increases our ability to locate collateral quickly, reduce skip time, and improve overall recovery performance.

PHOTO
INSPECTION

Some vehicles are deliberately blocked or made inaccessible. In these cases, we provide high-resolution photographic evidence to document obstruction or damage and protect our clients.

Transport
to Auction

Once repossessed, many vehicles head directly to auction. We offer fast and cost-effective transport services, ensuring units are delivered securely and without the high rates charged by carriers.

Impound
Recovery

An Impound Recovery is required when the collateral has been impounded by the city tow company or a private impound facility. Typically there are fees involved to retrieve the unit. At CRT we front fees owed.

Vehicle Storage
Facility

Each of our locations has no less than 15 high resolution AI security cameras with remote cloud storage. Our systems are also view remotely by officers of the company 24/7.

We have a total of 8 vehicles storage facilities in Texas. Each location holds anywhere between 300-700 vehicles at a time. Each location was purpose built with privacy and security in mind.

Employees work very hard. During the Covid-19 pandemic we remodeled our all locations. A neat, clean and comfortable workspace helps employees excel.

Our lots are inspected 4 times a year and have never needed improvements. We built them to meet CFPB and NCCI rules for compliance.

Safe and Reliable Transportation 

Once a vehicle is recovered, we can safely transport it to any location you request. In most cases, transport can be arranged within 24–48 hours of recovery. All transporters are TDLR-licensed and fully insured under our towing and repossession policy.

Throughout the transportation process, our drivers use ClearData® management tools to ensure a seamless, compliant experience—eliminating loose paperwork and reducing the risk of CFPB violations. All documentation is completed digitally via iPad with secure e-signatures.

Our transportation division operates statewide and has successfully delivered vehicles across Texas. Contact our office today to learn more about this service and how we can significantly reduce the time from repossession to remarketing.
