Flatbed Towing in Austin, TX

When a Flatbed Is the Right Choice

• All-wheel and four-wheel drive. Towing with wheels on the road can damage the drivetrain.
• Accident damage. Bent wheels or broken suspension mean the car cannot roll.
• Locked or seized. Locked brakes, a seized transmission or missing wheels.
• Long or highway tows. A flatbed keeps wear off your tires and drivetrain.

How a Flatbed Tow Works

The bed tilts back and slides down to the ground. Your vehicle is pulled up with a winch, then strapped down at each wheel. The bed levels out and the vehicle rides with all four wheels off the road. At the other end, it happens in reverse.

Low Cars Need More Than a Flatbed

Very low or modified cars can scrape on a regular flatbed ramp. For those we use a scissor lift, and luxury or exotic cars get extra care under luxury and exotic car towing.

Where We Load in Austin

Driveways in Hyde Park and North Loop, apartment lots around UT, parking garages downtown, the shoulder of US-183 or a body shop lot off Airport Boulevard. A flatbed needs room behind the vehicle and enough clearance, so tell us about tight spots or low garage ceilings when you call. If the vehicle is stuck off the road, we can winch it out first.
