Wheel-lift towing. Tight spaces. Fast hook-ups.
A wheel-lift may fit some tight-access and short-distance jobs. Share the vehicle, drivetrain, wheel condition, clearance, and access details so an independent operator can confirm whether a wheel-lift, dollies, or a flatbed is appropriate and quote the job.

What do drivers ask about wheel-lift towing?
What is wheel-lift towing?
A wheel-lift truck has a metal yoke that slides under the drive wheels and lifts only that end of your vehicle off the ground - the other end rolls on its own wheels. It is faster than a flatbed and fits into tight lots where a flatbed cannot.
Is wheel-lift safe for my car?
For standard FWD or RWD sedans, yes. For AWD, 4WD, or any EV, absolutely not, call for a flatbed. The spinning driveshaft or dragging drive motors will cause expensive internal damage on any vehicle with all four wheels driven or motored. If you're unsure, say the year and model on the call and you will get a straight answer.
Can you fit into an apartment garage?
Usually yes. Most wheel-lift trucks clear 6'8" on the common models. Text a photo of the garage entrance when you call and we will confirm clearance before sending anyone. Some older downtown buildings with lower clearance need a specialty mini-truck, which we can line up.
How much does wheel-lift towing cost?
Wheel-lift tows are quoted before the truck rolls, based on distance. Short-distance moves under 5 miles usually sit at the low end of the range. You get the full number up front.
Will you jump start and then tow if the car will not run?
Yes. Many batteries are just drained - a quick jump is sometimes all you need, no tow required. If the alternator is bad or the engine won't hold a charge, the driver jumps it to move it onto the truck and still tows. Either way, the tow covers both labor.
