Popular Service Combinations

Real-World Scenario

Car with a seized caliper that can't be towed conventionally? When a brake caliper seizes, the wheel won't turn freely — making conventional towing impossible. Our flatbed lifts the entire vehicle, wheels and all, so a seized caliper is no obstacle.

What NOT to Do

Never try to recover a vehicle from a ditch using another car — the pulling forces involved can damage both vehicles and the tow rope can snap with lethal force.
