When your car needs to be towed, you want it done safely. Flatbed towing is the gold standard for vehicle transport. Your entire car sits on a flat platform, which means all four wheels are off the ground. This protects your vehicle from wear and tear during the tow. At RoadRunner Babylon Towing, we specialize in safe flatbed towing throughout Babylon, NY and the surrounding areas.
Why Flatbed Towing Matters
Think of flatbed towing like this: instead of dragging or lifting part of your car, we drive it right onto a flat truck bed. Your car gets secured in place, and then we drive it to wherever it needs to go. Here's why this method is better for your vehicle:
- •No Wheel Contact: Your tires never touch the road during transport, so there's zero wear on your drivetrain.
- •Safer for Low Cars: Sports cars, luxury vehicles, and lowered cars won't scrape or get damaged.
- •Better for AWD and 4WD: All-wheel-drive vehicles need all four wheels off the ground to avoid transmission damage.
- •Protects Damaged Cars: If your car was in an accident or has mechanical issues, flatbed towing prevents further damage.
- •Peace of Mind: You know your vehicle is fully secured and protected during transport.
When You Need Flatbed Towing
Flatbed towing isn't just for expensive cars. It's the right choice for many situations. You should call for flatbed service when you have a luxury or exotic vehicle, a car with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, a vehicle with significant accident damage, or a car that simply won't start or roll.
We also use flatbed towing for motorcycles and bikes because they need extra care during transport. And if you're moving a classic car or one you just purchased, flatbed towing ensures it arrives in the same condition it left.
Our Flatbed Towing Process
When you call us for flatbed towing, here's what happens. First, we send out one of our modern flatbed trucks to your location. Our driver will position the truck and carefully tilt the flatbed down to create a ramp.
Next, we load your vehicle onto the bed. If your car runs, we can drive it on. If not, we use a winch to pull it up smoothly. Then we secure your vehicle with heavy-duty straps and chains at multiple points. This keeps your car stable and prevents any shifting during transport.
Finally, we transport your vehicle to wherever you need it to go, whether that's a repair shop, your home, or a storage facility. We drive carefully and follow all safety protocols to make sure your car arrives in perfect condition.
