I drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Can any towing vehicle service me?

Your owners manual typically located in the glove box will outline the correct towing procedure. Most manufactures who produce 4 wheel drive vehicles recommend that they be towed with all 4 wheels off of the gound. This requires a flatbed towing vehicle. Our service fleet contains several towing vehicles of this type allowing us to service all sizes of 4 wheel drive vehicles.

Do you bill my towing insurance directly?

Most companies require that towing benefits must be submitted and processed by the named insured. Check with your insurance agent for details.
