Flatbed Towing for Vehicles That Shouldn't Touch the Road
Low-clearance sports cars, all-wheel-drive vehicles, EVs, and anything with existing damage need a flatbed to avoid further wear or damage during transport. We carry the equipment for it.

Some vehicles simply shouldn't be towed with any wheels touching the pavement. Flatbed towing loads the entire vehicle onto the bed of the truck, eliminating the drivetrain stress, ground clearance risk, and rolling-wheel concerns that come with a standard wheel-lift tow.
What's Included
- Damage-free, wheels-off-the-ground transport
- Ideal for low-clearance and all-wheel-drive vehicles
- Required for most EVs, whose motors can be damaged by forced wheel rotation
- Safe option for vehicles with existing mechanical or body damage
- Careful loading and securing for the full trip
How Much Does Flatbed Towing Cost?
There's no separate flatbed surcharge. Standard local towing rates apply, a $75 base hook-up fee plus $4.50 per mile beyond the first 5 miles, and we'll dispatch a flatbed automatically whenever your vehicle calls for one. For longer hauls, flatbed pricing follows our long-distance towing rates instead.
Local Relevance
Johnson City's older downtown streets and steeper driveways around the hillier parts of Washington County mean low-clearance vehicles need extra care getting loaded. Our flatbed drivers are experienced with tight approaches and awkward angles.

Common Questions
Low-clearance sports cars, all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, electric vehicles, and any vehicle with existing damage.

Yes, flatbed is the standard choice for longer hauls since it's easier on the vehicle over distance.
Yes, it avoids putting additional stress on a compromised suspension, axle, or drivetrain.
