With a strong reputation for integrity, efficiency, and compliance, we specialize in the safe and secure recovery of vehicles, watercraft, and equipment across a wide range of asset types. From standard automobiles and motorcycles to boats, RVs, and commercial assets, our experienced team is equipped to handle every assignment with discretion and professionalism.

What sets us apart is our versatility and commitment to service excellence. In addition to traditional asset recovery, we offer skip tracing, secure storage, transport coordination, and condition reporting, all supported by industry-standard technology and thorough documentation. We understand the importance of protecting both our clients’ interests and the rights of consumers, which is why we operate with full transparency and within the bounds of all applicable laws and regulations.

We are also proud to offer marine recovery services led by a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Certified Captain. This specialized certification allows us to legally and safely recover vessels from inland and coastal waterways, marinas, and private docks. Whether it’s a small fishing boat or a luxury yacht, you can trust 1st Stop Recovery to handle the job with expert knowledge and the highest level of care. Our Captain brings years of on-the-water experience, ensuring that every marine recovery is performed safely, legally, and with minimal risk to the vessel or surrounding property.

Agents: On the Front Lines for United

“We hire talent and attitude, and then we train the process, laws, technology, and applications we use.” – Bob Wilson

Over the years and through the tremendous growth there has been one constant, our agents. Without the best agents in the industry we wouldn’t be able to provide our clients with the best service in the repossession industry. These talented men and women continue Bob’s tradition of “boots on the ground” of our day to day operation and continuously bring their unique set of skills to the “battle.”

Years ago a new repossession agent was hired, would ride with another agent for a night or two and then was released into the field. Our agents are different. Our agents are highly trained and skilled professionals who have been certified by our Field Operations Team.

The bottom line, we wouldn’t be the company we are without our agents in the field.

Family First

While United has grown substantially from its beginnings, it remains a “family business” in every sense.  United team members are treated like a part of a large extended family, which is a big reason for the organization’s sustained growth.  At United, we understand that our associates are our greatest asset. That’s why, as an organization, part of our strategy for success is dependent on hiring, training, developing, and retaining the amazing individuals who make up our company.  We believe that positive and engaged team members provide better value and customer service to our clients and partners. An engaged, creative and passionate workforce is largely what separates United from our competitors in the industry and is what makes United….well….United.
