RecoveryIMS review
A focused recovery system for repossession teams working with AutoIMS workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RecoveryIMS is a web-based application from Auto Auction Services Corporation for financial institutions, repossession managers, and recovery agents. Its core workflow covers electronic repossession assignment, recovery inventory status, activity notes, inspection forms, agent documents, performance measurement, electronic invoices, and agent charges. Clients can monitor recovery inventory and agent performance, while agents can access assignments and vehicle data through web browsers and wireless devices. The product is best suited to organizations coordinating repossessions and vehicle remarketing rather than general towing operations.
The strongest fit is its connection to AutoIMS.com. RecoveryIMS supports vehicle flow into AutoIMS auction workflows and provides VIN search for auction arrival information, giving teams a path from recovery activity to auction remarketing. Centralized documents and recovery records add structure around agent communications, inspections, and status tracking. These capabilities make it a practical choice for teams whose process already depends on AutoIMS and who need assignment, documentation, invoicing, and inventory functions together.
According to the published plan information, RecoveryIMS uses contact-sales pricing and does not offer a free plan. A 30-day trial is available, and the application is web-based. The product’s scope is specialized: its published workflows center on repossession and remarketing, not towing dispatch, impound management, or driver-mobile operations. Organizations seeking electronic repossession assignment, agent oversight, recovery documentation, and AutoIMS connectivity should consider RecoveryIMS. Teams evaluating broader towing software should look for a product designed around the towing and impound workflows they need.
