Quick Tow ATL Metro Atlanta referral line
Flatbed Towing

A flatbed keeps the whole car off the road.

With a flatbed, the car is winched onto a flat deck and rides without touching the pavement. That matters when the drivetrain, the suspension or the bodywork can't take a drag. Quick Tow ATL connects you with independent licensed operators who run flatbeds across Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett and Clayton County. We don't own trucks. We make the match, and the line takes calls 24/7.

Signs you're in flatbed towing territory

  • The car is all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and the transfer case should not spin
  • It sits low enough that a front hook could scrape the bumper
  • It is an electric or hybrid model whose maker prefers a flatbed
  • The wheels are bent, the axle is broken, or a tire is shredded
  • The transmission is stuck in gear or the parking brake will not release
  • You are sending a car to a body shop and want zero extra wear on the way

What the operator we send brings to a flatbed towing job

Straight answers on flatbed towing

Is a flatbed better than a wheel-lift for my car?

For most all-wheel-drive cars, low sports cars, electric models and wrecked vehicles, yes. A wheel-lift raises one end and leaves the other rolling, which is fine for many front-drive sedans but risky for others. Check your owner manual, and tell the operator what you drive when you call.

Will a flatbed fit in my garage or deck?

Often not. Decks with low ceilings can block a full-height truck, and some Midtown garages post clearance limits. Tell the line the clearance if you know it. An operator may bring a wheel-lift or a lower rig for a tight structure instead.

Can I ride along in the truck?

That is the operator's call, since insurance and cab space vary by company. Ask when the job is accepted. If it isn't allowed, arrange a ride-share or a lift and meet the truck at the drop-off.

What should I do before the truck gets there?

Take out valuables, photograph the car from all sides, and have the key ready if you have one. A no-key car can often still be loaded, but tell the line so the operator brings the right gear.
