Flatbed Towing

Flatbed towing for drivers who want their vehicle carried, not dragged, especially for low clearance or all-wheel-drive cars.

About this service

Some vehicles should never be towed with the wheels on the ground: all-wheel-drive cars, lowered vehicles, motorcycles, and anything with existing drivetrain or suspension damage. Our flatbed towing service carries your vehicle fully off the road on a hydraulic flatbed, which means zero added wear on your tires, transmission, or undercarriage during the tow.

A wheel-lift tow drags two wheels the entire trip, which is fine for a standard front-wheel-drive sedan but a real risk for anything with all-wheel drive, a lowered suspension, or damage that a wheel-lift hookup would make worse. A flatbed sidesteps that problem entirely: the vehicle is winched fully onto the bed and strapped down, so nothing touches pavement and nothing spins that should not be spinning. If you are not sure which method your vehicle needs, tell dispatch the make, model, and situation and we will make the call before the truck even leaves the yard.

Loading matters as much as the equipment itself. Ramp angle, winch speed, and strap placement all change depending on the vehicle, a lowered sports car needs a shallower approach angle than a stock SUV, and a motorcycle needs a wheel chock instead of a standard strap pattern. Our operators adjust for that on every call instead of loading every vehicle the same way, which is where most of the scraped bumpers and scratched undercarriages from other tow companies actually happen.

You likely need flatbed towing if your vehicle is all-wheel or four-wheel drive, the car has aftermarket lowering or very low ground clearance, there is existing drivetrain, axle, or transmission damage, you are moving a motorcycle or another specialty vehicle, or a shop or seller specifically requested flatbed-only transport.

Flatbed Towing questions

How do I know if my car needs a flatbed instead of a wheel-lift tow?
If your vehicle is all-wheel or four-wheel drive, has aftermarket lowering, very low ground clearance, or existing drivetrain damage, a flatbed is the safer choice. Tell dispatch your make, model, and situation and we will confirm.
Can you flatbed a motorcycle?
Yes. We carry motorcycle-specific tie-down equipment and load motorcycles carefully to avoid tipping or scratching during transport.
Is flatbed towing more expensive than a standard tow?
Pricing is always a custom, upfront quote based on your vehicle and situation, not a flat add-on fee. If a flatbed is the safer or required option for your vehicle, dispatch will confirm that and quote it before we send a truck.
Can a flatbed handle a lowered or modified car without scraping it?
Yes. We use ramps and loading angles suited to low-clearance vehicles, and our operators know to take it slow on cars that would scrape a standard incline.
Do you flatbed vehicles that are not broken down, like a car sale or dealership transfer?
Yes. Flatbed towing works just as well for a non-running purchase, a dealership transfer, or a vehicle you simply do not want driven, not only for breakdowns.
How long does flatbed loading usually take?
Most loads take a few minutes once the truck is positioned. Specialty vehicles or tight-clearance cars can take a little longer since the operator works at a careful, controlled pace.
What size vehicles can your flatbeds handle?
Our flatbeds cover standard passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and specialty cars. For larger vehicles like RVs or commercial trucks, that falls under our heavy-duty towing service instead.
Can you flatbed a car with aftermarket wheels or a body kit?
Yes. Tell dispatch about any aftermarket modifications, wide wheels, a low front splitter, ground effects, so the operator can plan the loading angle accordingly.
Do you flatbed electric vehicles?
Yes. EVs are commonly flatbed-only anyway since towing with the wheels on the ground can damage the drive motor on many models, so we default to a flatbed unless you tell us otherwise.
Can you flatbed a vehicle from a repair shop back to my home?
Yes. Flatbed transport works the same whether the trip starts at a breakdown location, a repair shop, or anywhere else you need the vehicle picked up from.
