Flatbed Towing in San Diego

Professional flatbed towing from All City Towing Service, available 24/7.

Flatbed towing uses a hydraulic platform that tilts down to ground level, allowing your vehicle to be winched up onto a completely flat surface. Once loaded, your car sits securely on the bed with all four wheels off the ground during transport. This method eliminates the risks that come with traditional wheel-lift towing, where your vehicle's front or rear wheels remain on the pavement and get dragged behind the truck.

You'll need flatbed service when your vehicle can't be safely moved using standard towing methods. This includes situations where your car has sustained front-end damage that makes wheel-lift impossible, when you're dealing with all-wheel drive systems that can't have wheels touching the ground during transport, or when your vehicle sits too low to clear the lifting apparatus of conventional tow trucks.

Our flatbed process starts with positioning the truck and extending the hydraulic bed to create a gentle incline from street level to the platform. We use a winch system with specialized straps or chains to pull your vehicle onto the bed, then secure it using multiple tie-down points to prevent any movement during transport. The hydraulic system raises the bed back to level position, creating a stable platform that protects your vehicle from road debris, potholes, and the mechanical stress of being towed with wheels down.

All City Towing Service operates modern flatbed trucks equipped with variable-speed winches, rubber padding to protect your vehicle's undercarriage, and professional-grade tie-down equipment rated for vehicles up to 10,000 pounds. Our drivers carry wheel nets, soft straps, and specialized hooks to handle everything from sports cars to light trucks without leaving a mark.
