What Is Flatbed Towing?

Flatbed recovery of an accident-damaged vehicle

Flatbed towing (also written flat bed towing) uses a truck with a flat, hydraulic bed that tilts and slides down to ground level. Your vehicle is winched onto the bed, chained or strapped down, and driven to its destination with every wheel off the road. Many drivers also search for a flatbed truck tow or flatbed truck towing when they really mean this: a full-carry method that is the safest way to tow most vehicles.

Unlike a hook-and-chain or wheel-lift tow, where part of your vehicle stays on the road, a flatbed tow truck carries the entire car. That is why manufacturers, dealerships, and insurance companies commonly recommend a flatbed tow.

Flatbed Towing vs. Traditional Towing

	Flatbed Tow Truck	Hook-and-Chain / Wheel-Lift
Wheels on the road?	All four wheels are off the ground	Two wheels stay on the road
Best for AWD, 4WD, and all-wheel-drive cars	Yes — the safest option	Can damage the drivetrain
Low, lowered, or luxury vehicles	Yes	Risk of bumper or undercarriage damage
Damaged, non-rolling, or accident vehicles	Yes — can be winched onto the bed	Often not possible
Motorcycles and equipment	Yes	No
Risk of damage	Lowest	Higher

Our Flatbed Towing Services in Chicago

We handle every kind of flatbed tow truck service, from a simple local flatbed towing job to a long-haul transport.

Flatbed Car Towing Service

Our flatbed car towing service moves sedans, coupes, SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks safely from any location: your driveway, a parking garage, the shoulder of a highway, or a repair shop. Flatbed car towing is the right choice when your car will not start, has a flat or blown tire, has transmission trouble, or has been in a collision.

AWD, 4WD, and All-Wheel-Drive Flatbed Towing

Towing an all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle on two wheels can harm the drivetrain and differentials. Our flatbed towing keeps every wheel off the ground, which is the only method we recommend for AWD and 4WD vehicles.

Luxury, Exotic, and Low-Clearance Vehicle Towing

Lowered cars and exotics need careful loading angles and the right straps. Our operators use proper tie-downs and protect wheels and bodywork. Learn more on our Exotic Car Towing page.

Motorcycle Flatbed Towing

Motorcycles ride best when they are secured upright on a flatbed with wheel chocks and soft straps. See our Motorcycle Towing service.

Accident Recovery and Flatbed Recovery

After a crash, a vehicle is often not drivable and may have damaged steering or wheels. Our flatbed recovery service winches damaged vehicles onto the bed without further harm and delivers them to a body shop, impound, or your home. See Accident Recovery.

Breakdown and Emergency Flatbed Towing

Dead battery, engine trouble, overheating, out of fuel, or a flat tire that cannot be fixed on site. Our 24 hour flatbed towing dispatch is ready. We also offer Jump Start, Fuel Delivery, Flat Tire Service, and Lockout Service if you only need a quick roadside fix.

Local and Long Distance Flatbed Towing

Moving a car across Chicago or across state lines? We provide local flatbed towing and long distance flatbed towing for dealership deliveries, auction pickups, relocations, and vehicle purchases. Ask about long distance tow pricing when you call. See Long Distance Tow.

Note your exact location. Cross streets, mile markers, or a dropped pin help us find you faster.
Have vehicle details ready: make, model, whether it is AWD or lowered, and whether the wheels turn.
Take photos if there was damage or an accident.
Remove valuables and keep your keys, ID, and registration handy.
Set your parking brake and leave the vehicle in neutral if it is safe to do so.
