AUTO REPOSSESSION SERVICES
INVOLUNTARY REPOSSESSION
Involuntary repossession carries the highest liability in the recovery industry. A breach of the peace, wrong VIN, damaged unit, or poorly handled confrontation can cost far more than the collateral itself.
Dtec has handled involuntary repossessions since 1990.
Every recovery begins with VIN verification and is handled by trained agents using structured procedures, field awareness, and de-escalation tactics.
This is not guesswork.
It is experience, discipline, and professionalism in the field.

You are not just assigning a repossession company.
You are placing your collateral with a recovery team that keeps working until the assignment is resolved.
FIELD COLLATERAL INSPECTION, CONDITION & PHOTO REPORT
Before storage, repair, or release costs add up, lenders need clear documentation of the asset.
Dtec performs field inspections at any location, documenting exterior, interior, engine bay, trunk, airbag status, and overall condition with detailed photos. If keys are available, we also confirm whether the vehicle runs and drives.
Every inspection is completed by a TDLR licensed agent and delivered with timestamped reporting.
Clear documentation helps clients make informed decisions before additional expenses are incurred.
IMPOUND RECOVERY
Every day a vehicle sits in impound, storage fees continue to build. Dtec treats impound recoveries as high priority to help reduce unnecessary charges and protect the client’s collateral.
Our team moves quickly to contact facilities, confirm release requirements, coordinate payment, and secure the vehicle before costs continue to accrue.
When fees are building, speed matters.
