Scissor Lift Towing in Austin, TX

Lowered cars, sports cars and modified builds sit too low for a standard hook-up. A scissor lift picks the car up by the tires, so nothing touches the bumper, splitter or undercarriage.

What Is a Scissor Lift Tow?

A scissor lift is a tow unit with arms that slide under the vehicle and cradle the tires instead of grabbing the frame or bumper. It lifts the car straight up with very little angle, which is what low-clearance cars need.

Cars That Need It

  • Lowered cars on coilovers or air suspension.
  • Sports cars with front splitters, lips and low exhausts.
  • Modified and track cars.
  • Cars with aftermarket body kits.

Why Not Just Use a Flatbed?

A flatbed is great for most cars, but the ramp angle can still catch a very low front end. A scissor lift avoids the ramp completely. For high-value cars we also follow the steps on our luxury and exotic car towing page.

Tell Us About the Car

  1. Ride height. How low it sits, and whether it has air suspension that can be raised.
  2. Wheels and tires. Size and any damage, since the lift holds the tires.
  3. Location. Garages, steep driveways and tight spots matter for low cars.
  4. Destination. Your shop, tuner, dealer or home.
