repo truck

Vehicle recovery truck

A repo truck is a tow truck used to repossess vehicles from owners who have defaulted on their loans.

Also called a repossession truck.

These trucks are often designed for quick hookups, allowing operators to retrieve vehicles rapidly—sometimes before the owner notices: The repo truck had my car hooked up and gone in under two minutes.
