Flatbed Towing

Flatbed towing is the safest way to transport a vehicle. Unlike traditional wheel-lift towing, where two wheels stay on the ground, a flatbed truck lifts your entire car off the road and carries it on a flat platform. This means no wear on the tires, no stress on the transmission, and no risk of scraping the undercarriage.

If you drive a luxury car, a sports car, or a vehicle with low ground clearance, flatbed towing is the best option. It is also the right choice for all-wheel drive vehicles, cars with frame damage, and any vehicle that cannot roll freely. When your car needs special care, flatbed towing protects it from additional damage during transport.

Flatbed towing is not always necessary, but in certain situations, it is the only safe option. Here are some common scenarios where flatbed towing makes sense:

• All-Wheel Drive Vehicles: Towing an AWD car with two wheels on the ground can damage the drivetrain. Flatbed towing keeps all four wheels off the road.
• Luxury and Exotic Cars: High-end vehicles often have low clearance and sensitive suspensions. Flatbed towing prevents scrapes and mechanical stress.
• Lowered or Modified Cars: If your car sits close to the ground, wheel-lift towing can cause it to drag. Flatbed towing avoids this issue entirely.
• Vehicles with Frame Damage: If your car was in an accident and the frame is bent, flatbed towing is the safest way to move it.
• Long-Distance Towing: For long-distance towing, flatbed trucks reduce wear and tear on your vehicle during the trip.

If you are not sure whether your car needs flatbed towing, just ask. We can assess the situation and recommend the best towing method for your vehicle.

Flatbed towing is straightforward. When we arrive at your location, we position the flatbed truck behind your vehicle. The bed of the truck tilts down to create a ramp, and we either drive or winch your car onto the platform. Once your vehicle is in place, we secure it with heavy-duty straps and chains to prevent any movement during transport.

The entire process takes just a few minutes, and it is much safer than traditional towing methods. Your car sits flat and stable on the truck bed, so there is no risk of it shifting or rolling. We then transport it to your chosen destination, whether that is a repair shop, your home, or a storage facility.

Flatbed towing is also a good option if you need emergency towing after an accident. If your car cannot be driven or if it has significant damage, we can load it onto a flatbed and get it to a safe location quickly.
