Is flatbed towing more expensive than regular towing?

Yes, flatbed towing typically costs more than wheel-lift towing because the equipment is more specialized and the process takes a bit longer. However, the added cost is often worth it for high-value vehicles, all-wheel drive cars, or situations where you want to minimize any risk of damage. We provide clear pricing when you call, so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.

Can a flatbed tow truck fit in tight spaces?

Flatbed trucks are larger than standard tow trucks, so they do need more room to maneuver. However, our drivers are skilled at working in tight spots. If your vehicle is in a parking garage, narrow street, or another challenging location, let us know when you call. We will assess the situation and determine the best approach to reach you safely.

How do you protect my car during flatbed towing?

We use soft straps and padded chains to secure your vehicle without scratching paint or damaging trim. The flatbed itself is smooth and clean to prevent any contact damage. Our drivers inspect your car before loading, document its condition, and take every precaution to ensure it arrives in the same condition it left. Your vehicle is fully secured and stable throughout the entire journey.

Flatbed towing is the gold standard for vehicle transport. Instead of lifting just the front or rear wheels, your entire vehicle sits on a flat platform. This means no wheels touch the ground, no added wear on your transmission or drivetrain, and no risk of scraping or dragging. Our New Britain flatbed towing service is perfect for luxury cars, sports cars, all-wheel drive vehicles, and any situation where you want maximum protection.

We use modern flatbed trucks with hydraulic systems that gently load and secure your vehicle. Our drivers are trained to handle high-value and specialty vehicles with care. Whether you need to transport a classic car, a low-clearance sports car, or a damaged vehicle after an accident, flatbed towing is often the best choice.

When You Should Use Flatbed Towing

Flatbed towing is not always necessary, but there are situations where it is the smartest choice. Here is when we recommend it:

•Luxury and exotic cars - High-end vehicles deserve high-end care. Flatbed towing eliminates the risk of damage to expensive paint, bodywork, or undercarriage components
•All-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles - These vehicles can suffer drivetrain damage if towed with wheels on the ground. Flatbed towing keeps everything safe
•Low-clearance sports cars - Cars with low ground clearance can scrape or get stuck on wheel-lift systems. Flatbeds load them smoothly without risk
•Severely damaged vehicles - If your car was in an accident and has frame damage, missing wheels, or other structural issues, a flatbed is the only safe way to move it
•Long-distance towing - The farther you tow, the more wear you put on a vehicle. Flatbed towing protects your car over long distances
•Motorcycles and specialty vehicles - We also use flatbeds for motorcycles, ATVs, and other vehicles that need secure, damage-free transport

If you are not sure whether flatbed towing is right for your situation, just ask. Our team can explain the benefits and help you decide. For everyday breakdowns where cost is a concern, standard emergency towing might be a better fit.

How Flatbed Towing Works

Loading a vehicle onto a flatbed takes skill and the right equipment. Here is what happens:

Step 1: Positioning the Truck

Our driver positions the flatbed truck near your vehicle and activates the hydraulic system. The flatbed tilts down to create a ramp, making it easy to load your car without lifting or dragging.

Step 2: Loading Your Vehicle

If your vehicle runs, we drive it onto the flatbed. If not, we use a winch to pull it up smoothly. Either way, the process is gentle and controlled to avoid any damage.

Step 3: Securing Everything

Once your vehicle is on the flatbed, we secure it with heavy-duty straps and chains. The flatbed returns to its level position, and your car is locked in place for safe transport to your destination.

Throughout the process, we take care to protect your vehicle. We check clearances, avoid tight spots, and make sure everything is secure before we hit the road. For motorcycles and other two-wheeled vehicles, our motorcycle towing service uses the same careful approach.
