Does flatbed towing cost more than wheel-lift towing?

Flatbed towing can cost slightly more because of the specialized equipment, but the extra protection is worth it for many vehicles. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we start.

Can you tow my car if it is stuck in a tight parking spot?

Yes, our drivers are trained to load vehicles in challenging locations. We use winches and positioning techniques to safely get your car onto the flatbed, even in tight spaces or underground garages.

How long does flatbed towing take?

Loading a vehicle onto a flatbed typically takes 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the situation. Once loaded, transport time depends on the distance to your destination. We always work efficiently without rushing.

Why Flatbed Towing Is the Safest Choice

Flatbed towing means your entire vehicle sits on a flat platform during transport. No wheels touch the road, and nothing drags behind the truck. This method protects your car from extra wear, damage to the drivetrain, or scrapes on low-clearance bumpers. If you own a luxury car, sports car, or any vehicle with special modifications, flatbed towing from DoneRight Cerritos Towing gives you peace of mind.

We use modern flatbed trucks with hydraulic lifts that gently load your vehicle. The process is smooth, controlled, and monitored by experienced operators. Your car stays secure with heavy-duty straps and wheel chocks throughout the entire trip. Whether you need to move one mile or one hundred miles, flatbed towing keeps your vehicle in the same condition it was in when we picked it up.

When You Should Choose Flatbed Towing

Flatbed towing is not always necessary, but it is the best option in many situations. Here is when we recommend using a flatbed truck instead of a traditional wheel-lift tow:

•Luxury and Sports Cars: High-value vehicles deserve extra protection. Flatbed towing eliminates the risk of drivetrain damage or road debris hitting your car.
•All-Wheel Drive Vehicles: Many AWD cars should not be towed with two wheels on the ground. Flatbed towing avoids transmission and differential problems.
•Low-Clearance Vehicles: Cars with body kits, lowered suspensions, or front splitters can scrape during loading. Flatbeds prevent this damage.
•Damaged or Inoperable Vehicles: If your car cannot roll or steer, flatbed towing is the safest way to move it without causing more harm.
•Long-Distance Moves: Transporting a vehicle across the state or to another city? Flatbed towing protects it from road wear and mileage buildup.

If you are unsure whether your vehicle needs flatbed towing, just ask us. We can explain the pros and cons based on your car model and situation. Our team always recommends the safest and most cost-effective option for your needs.

How We Handle Your Vehicle

Our flatbed towing process is designed to protect your vehicle every step of the way. When you call us, we send a flatbed truck to your location as quickly as possible. The driver inspects your vehicle and prepares the flatbed for loading. The hydraulic bed tilts down to create a gentle ramp, so your car rolls or gets winched onto the platform without strain.

Once your vehicle is on the bed, we secure it with multiple attachment points. Heavy-duty straps keep it stable, and wheel chocks prevent any shifting during transport. We double-check everything before we start driving. During the trip, your car stays level and protected from bumps, potholes, and road debris.

When we reach the destination, we reverse the process. The bed tilts down again, and your vehicle rolls off smoothly. We inspect it one more time to make sure everything looks good. You get your car back in the same condition it left, with no surprises or hidden damage. For other towing needs, explore our long-distance towing service or motorcycle towing for two-wheelers.
