Motor Fluid Response

Secure the area first — stop all vehicles, shut off engines if possible, and avoid ignition sources. Use absorbent pads or spill kits to contain spread, block drains or storm sewers, and contact Southside Wrecker promptly for professional containment and cleanup.

Because motor fluids can spread quickly into soil, drainage or water systems — causing environmental damage, fire or contamination risk. A fast response limits spill spread, reduces clean-up costs, and helps avoid fines under state law.

Our emergency service includes containment, absorbent pad or boom deployment, fluid recovery, safe disposal of contaminated materials, cleaning of affected surfaces, documentation for regulatory or insurance compliance, and site restoration to safe condition.

Implement regular maintenance checks on vehicles and equipment, fix leaks promptly, store oils and fluids in secure containment trays, use drip pans during servicing, and keep spill-response kits on-hand with staff trained to handle leaks before they become spills.

We handle spills from tow trucks, wreckers, heavy-duty equipment, maintenance yards, roadside breakdowns, fuel or hydraulic leaks — basically any site in or around Union City, whether roads, garages, storage lots or job-site equipment yards.

Cost depends on spill size and fluid volume, type of fluid (oil, hydraulic fluid, diesel, antifreeze), complexity of containment (ground condition, access, drainage risk), disposal requirements, and urgency or after-hours response.

Yes — under state law (e.g. Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) regulations), spills of hazardous fluids must be reported and properly cleaned. Spills causing discharge into drains or waters — or above a reportable quantity — trigger mandatory reporting. 

We cover Union City and the surrounding counties. If you’re unsure, just call with your location and we’ll confirm availability and dispatch options.

Look for a provider with trained technicians, appropriate cleanup equipment (absorbents, containment gear, disposal tools), knowledge of local regulations, liability insurance, and capacity for emergency response. Southside Wrecker meets all of these criteria.

Yes — after cleanup we provide documentation of the incident, disposal records, and a post-cleanup site inspection. If required, we can also monitor the area to ensure no residual contamination remains.
