Signs Your Recovery Process Is Costing You
If any of these describe your current situation, it may be time to re-evaluate who is handling your recovery assignments.
Accounts Aging Past 60–90 Days
The longer a defaulted asset sits in the field, the faster its value drops - and the harder it becomes to locate.
No Updates, No Visibility
You assign a recovery and hear nothing for weeks. No status reports, no scan results, no timeline - just silence.
Compliance Concerns
Recovery agents who cut corners on state or federal law don't just risk your assets - they expose your institution to legal liability.
High Fees, Low Recovery Rates
If you're paying close-out fees, storage fees, and still seeing poor recovery percentages, the economics aren't working for you.
Skip Traces Going Cold
Traditional skip-trace methods only go so far. Without technology-driven scanning and fieldwork, assets slip further away.
Vendor Turnover & Inconsistency
Rotating agents, missed handoffs, and no single point of contact means every assignment feels like starting over.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions lenders and credit unions ask most about working with a recovery company.
When an auto loan defaults and the borrower becomes unresponsive, lenders assign the case to a licensed recovery company like GTA Recovery. Our team uses advanced license plate recognition technology and investigative techniques to locate the vehicle, then our certified field agents recover it in compliance with all state and federal laws. The vehicle is secured at our facility and the lender is notified immediately.
GTA Roadside and Recovery is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio and provides primary coverage across Franklin County and all of Central Ohio. We also service surrounding regions and can coordinate recovery operations across wider areas when needed.
Yes. All GTA field agents hold C.A.R.S. (Certified Asset Recovery Specialist) certification and are fully insured. Our team is trained to the highest professional and ethical standards, and is well-versed in both Ohio state and federal repossession laws.
We provide your first status update within 24 hours of receiving an assignment. From there, we maintain communication on whatever interval works best for your team - daily, weekly, or on-demand. We believe over-communication builds trust.
We recover all standard consumer vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. We also work with commercial fleet and rental vehicles for companies like Enterprise. If it has a VIN and wheels, our team can locate and recover it.
Vehicle location is the investigative phase - using scanning technology, database searches, and fieldwork to find where a vehicle is physically located. Vehicle recovery is the physical act of securing and transporting that vehicle once found. GTA Recovery handles both, providing a full-service solution from assignment to secured storage.
