Flatbed Towing
This is the must-need service for a towing company, our most commonly requested, and our bread and butter. Flatbed towing offers the best type of towing for your vehicle, which is the main reason for it being the most popular. Flatbed towing can be offered anywhere in Redondo Beach and the surrounding areas if you just give us a call or fill out the form to schedule a tow.
Flatbed towing is pretty simple to understand, and it is named quite appropriately. It just involves a flatbed in the back of the tow truck, which a vehicle is lifted or pulled onto. Once the vehicle is on the flatbed, it is then strapped on to the tow truck safely and securely. This allows the vehicle to be in a normal position so as not to put any added stress or wear on any part of the vehicle. And that is why it is the best option for towing.
Flatbed towing allows for ease of transport, since pretty much any vehicle can be moved onto the flat bed, and it can accommodate vehicles of all shapes and sizes. It then allows the vehicle to sit normally on its wheels, while also being on a safe surface and not having to move or be dragged behind another vehicle. Some services even offer to provide extra wheels, or other parts or components that can allow a car to be dragged with the back wheels on the road but protect them from the wear and tear of moving.
But why go through all that extra trouble to try to protect those wheels when you can just use a flatbed truck instead? Taking the time to take on and off wheels to protect them has been proven to be less desirable by clients, since that is just another service that is needed that companies usually charge for. Also it can lead to any other potential issue since it is more work that needs to be done and could cause some wear and tear on the lug nuts and other parts involved when removing and then reassembling the tires. Or even the option to put a part to cover your tire, to provide something between your tire and the road, so that it does not have to spin on the ground while being towed. This is usually better than replacing the tires completely, but still an added step that is just not needed.
Flatbed towing offers the ideal solution for all vehicle types when a tow is needed. There are some circumstances where flatbed towing may not be the most practical or the best option, which is why we offer a variety of towing types and options. As a towing company, we provide needed tows throughout the area, and we practice them in a way that works for everyone involved. We will go on to describe a few other options on other pages on our website. So if you need a tow, whether you are looking for a flatbed tow or something a little different, Redondo Beach Towing can assist you.
