Flatbed Towing in Staten Island, NY
Some cars should never be dragged on two wheels. Our flatbeds carry your vehicle with all four wheels off the ground — the safe way to move all-wheel drive, electric, lowered, classic and crash-damaged vehicles anywhere on Staten Island, 24 hours a day.
929-606-6310Vehicles that belong on a flatbed
If your car is on this list, ask for a flatbed by name when you call:
- All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles, including most crossovers and SUVs
- Electric and hybrid vehicles, where manufacturers require wheels-up transport
- Lowered, wide-body and aftermarket-kit cars that scrape on a wheel-lift
- Classic, collector and show cars that cannot take road grit or strap marks
- Motorcycles and small utility trailers secured on the deck
- Non-rolling vehicles — seized brakes, missing wheels, locked steering, transmission failures
How we load without adding damage
Flatbed work is a process, not just a ramp:
- Walk-around and photos before anything is touched, so the condition is documented
- Low-angle approach and wood or ramp extensions for low front lips
- Winch pull instead of driving the car on when the drivetrain or brakes are locked
- Soft straps or wheel baskets rather than hooks on suspension and bodywork
- Second set of photos on the deck before we leave your address

Collision and dealer transport

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my car need a flatbed instead of a regular tow truck?
All-wheel drive, four-wheel drive and most electric vehicles can be damaged when two wheels turn on the road. Lowered, classic and non-rolling cars need a flatbed too, since a wheel-lift can catch bodywork or bind a locked drivetrain.
Can a flatbed get into a Staten Island driveway or garage?
Often yes, but low garages and steep short driveways sometimes require a wheel-lift to bring the car out to the street first. Describe the spot on the phone and we plan the approach before arriving.
Do you flatbed electric vehicles?
Yes. EVs and hybrids ride on the flatbed with all four wheels off the ground, which is what nearly every manufacturer requires.
Can you load a car that will not roll or steer?
Yes. Seized brakes, missing wheels, locked steering and crash damage are normal flatbed work — we winch the vehicle onto the deck and strap it down.
