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

Don't attempt to drive a vehicle with a broken suspension component — the wheel alignment is compromised and you risk the wheel collapsing entirely at speed.
