Whether your car’s been involved in an accident or you need to safely transport it somewhere far away, there are numerous benefits to using a long-distance towing service. While standard towing can sometimes cause wear and tear to a vehicle while en route to the destination, long-distance towing with a flatbed truck is a more versatile option that will put distance between your car and the road, ensuring it arrives where it needs to be with minimal damage.

Why You Should Invest in Long-Distance Towing

1. Safety

There are several factors that can cause damage to a vehicle while using standard towing. Because the wheels are still on the road, they can be worn down while driving, and the fact that your car is exposed means that any rough weather or accidents will affect it more than if it were safely elevated, covered, and secured on a flatbed.

2. Transmission

Because long-distance towing places your vehicle on a flatbed where it remains stationary, it’s better for your transmission than traditional towing services. With standard towing, your vehicle’s wheels will be rotating the entire ride, which causes the gears inside to move and wears down your transmission.

3. Versatility

Certain vehicles can’t be towed with the traditional method because they’re too big. With long-distance towing, a flatbed truck can transport larger vehicles such as SUVs or trucks, and can even load the car in from different directions depending on what’s safest.
