What types of towing equipment does ASAP Towing use and does ASAP have the proper equipment to tow my car or truck?

• ASAP Towing maintains modern and up to date towing and recovery equipment.

• Our medium duty flatbed is capable of safely carrying loads of 10,000 lbs. It also has an air suspension which allows the operator to “dump” or lower the rear suspension thereby gaining additional clearance when loading low slung vehicles such a Ferrari’s, Porsche, BMW, Corvette, etc.

• All vehicles are secured to the flatbed by a minimum 4 point tie down system in the interest of safety and in accordance with federal regulations.

My car is full time all-wheel-drive, does it require a flatbed tow truck?

• In a word… YES! The vast majority of FULL TIME all wheel drive vehicles due require a flatbed tow truck to be towed properly. BUT (you knew there was a but coming, didn’t you) some full time all wheel drive vehicles do have procedures which allow for towing on a wheel lift tow truck. Some of these procedures are complicated and may involve pulling or putting in certain fuses etc. ASAP Towing’s dispatch center has the computer program to determine which method of towing is proper for your vehicle. In addition our drivers are trained to recognize special needs vehicles and apply the proper techniques required to safely service and / or transport your vehicle.

Is towing rough on my car?

• Not any more. Actually quite the opposite. Today’s modern tow trucks, when operated by a properly trained operator, impose absolutely no undue stresses on your vehicle. In the majority of cases, your vehicle is towed by a means which carries the vehicle by its wheels. It does not matter whether it is by flatbed or wheel lift tow truck, your vehicle is carried by its tires, wheels and suspension, just as though it were being driven down the street.

IT’S THE LAW!!!
