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 remove a wheel from a vehicle with seized brakes to try and free it — you may damage the braking system further. Let a professional assess it.
