Everything a recovery needs, under one roof.

From the first locate to the auction lane. You assign it once; we handle the rest and keep you updated at every step.

Involuntary repossession

Fast, non-confrontational recovery of your collateral by trained agents using self-loading wheel-lift trucks. Time-stamped photos at pickup.

Voluntary surrenders & lease turn-ins

We coordinate directly with the customer for a scheduled, low-friction pickup, then handle transport and paperwork.

Skip tracing & locates

Desk and field investigation for units that have gone quiet: LPR camera hits, multiple databases, door knocks, employer and address verification.

Secure storage

Fenced, monitored storage in South Milwaukee with a full personal-property inventory on every unit the day it arrives.

Private Property Towing (PPI)

Private property towing for property owners and managers. Contact Midwest Auto Recovery to discuss towing needs for your property.

Transport & auction delivery

Flatbed and wheel-lift transport to auctions, dealers or your own lot anywhere in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.

Key & locksmith service

Replacement keys and fobs cut on site so the unit rolls off the lot ready to remarket, not waiting for a dealership.

Condition reports & documentation

Digital photos, mileage, damage notes and personal-property inventory delivered with every recovery, ready for your file.

What we recover

License plate recognition

Camera cars on the road every day.

Our spotter vehicles carry Insight LPR cameras that read plates as they drive, flagging assigned vehicles across Southeastern Wisconsin. More scans mean faster locates and fewer files that go cold.

Was your vehicle picked up?

If your lender assigned us to recover your vehicle, here's how to get your belongings back or redeem the vehicle. All lot visits are by appointment.

  1. Call (414) 630-7192 to schedule a time. Walk-ins can't be accommodated for safety and insurance reasons.
  2. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Only the registered owner or an authorized person on the loan can collect property.
  3. To redeem the vehicle itself, first contact your lender. They'll send us a release once the account is settled.
  4. Personal property is inventoried the day of recovery and held for the period required by Wisconsin law.

A few things to know

Missed appointments may incur an administrative fee. Items that are part of the vehicle (stereo, tires, accessories) stay with the vehicle. Questions about your loan balance or the repossession itself should go to your lender; we can't discuss account details.
