When Standard Towing Won't Work
Why flatbed towing protects your vehicle.
All-wheel-drive cars, electric vehicles, lowered sports cars and luxury imports all need flatbed transport instead of a wheel-lift. A wheel-lift hooks the front axle and lifts the rear wheels off the ground, which can damage AWD drivetrains and EV battery packs. Flatbed towing places all four wheels on the deck, eliminating drivetrain stress.
When you call Richmond Towing with an AWD sedan, EV or lowered vehicle, the operator confirms the make and model before routing a flatbed tow truck. The rig arrives with a hydraulic deck, secures all four wheels with soft straps, and transports the vehicle frame-safe to your destination. Pricing for flatbed service typically runs $100 to $180 hook-up plus $3 to $6 per kilometre, with after-hours surcharges between 10 PM and 6 AM. The operator confirms the full quote before rolling, so no surprises at drop-off. Winch recovery from ditches or snow uses similar flatbed rigs when the vehicle cannot roll under its own power.
