When a Flatbed Is the Right Choice
A flatbed truck tilts its bed down to the road, pulls the vehicle up with a winch, and carries it with all four wheels off the ground. That matters for:
- AWD and 4WD vehicles: towing with wheels on the road can damage the drivetrain
- Electric and hybrid cars: most makers recommend a flatbed
- Luxury, sports and lowered cars: no bumper or undercarriage scraping
- Accident damage: bent wheels, broken suspension or a car that won’t roll
- Motorcycles: secured upright with wheel chocks and soft straps
- Longer trips: no added wear on the tires or drivetrain
How Flatbed Towing Works
When you call, tell us the vehicle, where it is and where it should go. Our operator lowers the bed, pulls the vehicle up slowly, and straps it down by the wheels so the frame and suspension aren’t strained. Then we take it to your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop or home.
Flatbed or Wheel Lift?
A wheel lift is quicker and fits in tighter spots, and it’s fine for many two-wheel-drive cars. A flatbed is the better call for the vehicles listed above. Not sure? Describe your vehicle when you call and we’ll pick the right truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my AWD car need a flatbed?
In most cases, yes. Towing an AWD or 4WD vehicle with two wheels on the ground can damage the transfer case or transmission.
Can you tow an electric car?
Yes. We use a flatbed so the wheels don’t turn during the tow, which is what most makers recommend.
Can you tow a motorcycle on a flatbed?
Yes. Motorcycles are secured upright with wheel chocks and soft straps.
Are you open 24/7?
Yes. Call (716) 923-7804 any time, day or night, weekends and holidays.
How much does a tow cost?
It depends on the vehicle, its weight, the distance and whether recovery is needed. Call and we’ll give you a quote on the phone.
