When you need to get your car towed, you have several options. You can try to use your insurance company's emergency service hotline, or you can call someone who is dedicated
24/7 to emergency services -
Towing Palm Harbor. We can help you determine what kind of tow you might need, provide you with an immediate quote, and get a truck there to help you fast.
Have you ever been driving along the highway and noticed a tow truck pulling a vehicle that has been damaged? You wonder to yourself - did that damage occur before or after the tow began? Has this tow truck been carelessly pulling this vehicle along, blind to the subsequent damage being inflicted upon the vehicle? Well you never have to worry about such a thing with Towing Palm Harbor. We handle every towing job as if it is our own family's car that we are transporting.
There are many different types of towing trucks available. Two of the most common are
wheel lifts and flatbed tow trucks. While flatbed tow trucks are more expensive, wheel lift tow trucks use a smaller vehicle with a wheel lift. They also use less fuel compared to heavy-duty and flatbed tow trucks.
Wheel lift towing is a standard method for car towing. It works by lifting two wheels of the car, while the remaining wheels are driven behind the tow truck. This prevents the car from dragging, and is often the quickest and cheapest method of moving a car. However, it is not suitable for every vehicle.
There are two types of wheel lifts, which can either be attached to the back or front of a car. A front-wheel drive car will be towed with a front-wheel drive vehicle, and a rear-wheel drive vehicle will need a rear-wheel drive vehicle. In the latter case, a wheel lift will allow the car to be towed without risking damage to the vehicle's transmission.
It is a common misconception that
flatbed towing
is just for luxury cars. Many different types of cars require flatbed towing. You can check your owner's manual for the suggested type of tow truck to be used on your vehicle. However, our expert towing crew will always steer you in the right direction. We will handle your car with kid gloves, making sure nothing that we do will harm your transmission, your axles, your tires, your bumpers, or any other part of your precious cargo.
The type of truck Towing Palm Harbor will dispatch to tow your vehicle will depend on the make and model of your car. Larger, heavier automobiles will require a heavy-duty wheel lift truck. Smaller sedans may be more safely towed on a flatbed tow truck. Be sure to communicate with our operator regarding the make, model, size, and drivetrain of your car (2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, all wheel drive, etc.) so that we can send the right truck to tow your car safely.
