How far will you tow my vehicle?

We handle tows of all distances, from a few miles to several hundred miles out of state. If you are moving across New York, heading to another state, or need a vehicle relocated for any reason, give us a call and we will give you a straight answer on availability and pricing. We plan the route and logistics so you do not have to worry about any of it.

How is my car protected on a long haul?

Your vehicle rides on a flatbed for the entire trip, which means all four wheels are off the ground at all times. We use quality straps to secure it from multiple tie-down points and check the load before we depart. For long trips, we do a mid-route inspection stop to make sure everything is still solid before continuing.

Can you tow a non-running vehicle long distance?

Yes. Flatbed towing does not require your car to run, steer, or brake. We load it onto the deck and it stays there for the whole trip. Whether it is a total breakdown, a car you just purchased that does not start, or a vehicle coming out of long-term storage, we can handle the transport safely.

Moving Your Vehicle Further Than the Local Shop

Not every tow is a quick trip down the block. Sometimes you need your vehicle moved across the state, to a dealership two hours away, or to a new home in another part of the country. That is exactly what our long distance towing service is built for.

We use flatbed trucks for all long haul transports. Your vehicle rides on the deck with all four wheels off the road the entire time. That means no wear on your tires, no stress on your drivetrain, and no risk from bumps that could bounce a vehicle loose. It is the safest way to move a car over a long distance.

We serve drivers in Bay Shore, NY and handle transport to destinations across New York and beyond. Whether your car is running or completely inoperable, we can load it and get it where it needs to go.

Why Flatbed Is the Only Way to Go Long Distance

When you are moving a vehicle over a long distance, the method of towing matters a lot more than it does for a short trip. Here is why flatbed is the right call for any haul over 50 miles:

All four wheels are completely off the ground, preventing tire and suspension wear
No miles are added to your odometer during transport
Drivetrain components such as the transmission and differential are not under any load
Vehicles with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive must be transported this way to avoid transmission damage
Electric vehicles with regenerative braking should not be towed on a dolly — flatbed is the manufacturer-recommended method
Lower risk of the vehicle shifting or coming loose compared to wheel-lift over long distances
Better protection for low-clearance vehicles like sports cars and lowered sedans

If you are not sure whether your specific vehicle has any towing restrictions, we can walk you through it when you call.
