Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flatbed towing in San Diego.
Why should I choose flatbed towing over traditional towing?
Flatbed towing keeps all four wheels off the ground, eliminating road contact and preventing transmission, drivetrain, and tire damage. It's the safest method for luxury vehicles, AWD/4WD cars, lowered vehicles, and any car where you want zero-risk transport. Traditional tow trucks drag two wheels on the ground, which can damage AWD systems and low-clearance vehicles.
Can you tow my lowered car without damage?
Absolutely! Our flatbed trucks feature low-angle ramps and adjustable hydraulics specifically designed for lowered vehicles. We can safely load cars with as little as 2 inches of ground clearance. Our operators are trained in proper loading techniques for slammed cars, air suspension vehicles, and cars with wide body kits.
Is flatbed towing safe for Tesla and electric vehicles?
Yes, flatbed is the ONLY recommended towing method for Tesla and most EVs. Electric vehicles have complex drivetrain systems that can be damaged if wheels are dragged. Our operators are trained in EV-specific protocols, including proper tie-down points and battery safety procedures.
How much does flatbed towing cost in San Diego?
Flatbed towing starts at $95 for local service within San Diego, plus $5 per mile for longer distances. Exact pricing depends on your location, destination, and any special handling requirements. We provide upfront quotes with no hidden fees. Call us for an instant price.
Can you transport my car to a specific mechanic or dealership?
Yes! We transport vehicles anywhere in San Diego County and beyond. Whether it's your preferred mechanic, a dealership service center, an auction house, or a car show venue, we'll deliver your vehicle safely to any destination you specify.
Do you offer enclosed transport for high-value vehicles?
While our flatbed trucks provide excellent protection, we can arrange enclosed transport for extremely valuable vehicles like rare exotics, concours cars, or vehicles requiring climate-controlled transport. Contact us for enclosed transport availability and pricing.
