Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment
The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment
The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them
off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way
to tow your vehicle.
Emergency Towing
NOTICE
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers
will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not
designed to support the vehicle's weight.
NOTICE
Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.
Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
It is very dangerous, since ropes or chains may shift
from side to side or break.
