Flatbed towing service near you. Four wheels off the ground.
Quick Tow NYC lines up flatbed towing across the five boroughs, with the line answered around the clock. A flatbed is often the safer choice when a wheel lift isn't: all-wheel drive, many electric vehicles, lowered sports cars, and anything with a damaged wheel or suspension after a pothole or curb strike. Confirm the method against the owner's manual, drivetrain, clearance and whether the wheels can roll. The assigned operator confirms whether they have a rollback, straps, a shallow enough ramp, or a covered trailer. One New York wrinkle: trucks and tow trucks are banned on the city's parkways, so if your car is on the Belt or the FDR the operator has to plan a legal approach. If you need a flatbed tow truck near you right now, call (858) 925-5546.
What's included in flatbed towing?
- Rollback flatbeds when the assigned operator has one, with the approach angle confirmed for your car
- Soft-strap wheel nets when that's the operator’s method (no assumed chain-free loading)
- AWD and 4WD flatbed towing when the manufacturer requires all wheels off the road
- EV flatbed transport for Teslas and other electrics when the manual calls for it
- Sports car, lowered, and low-clearance loading when the operator can clear the approach
- Damaged-vehicle recovery after collision, theft recovery, or storm road damage
- Longer-distance flatbed towing inside New York State, with out-of-state runs quoted only if the operator can do them
- Covered-trailer option when the assigned operator actually has one

What do drivers ask about flatbed towing?
Is there a flatbed tow truck near me in New York City?
Yes. Quick Tow NYC sends operators with flatbed tow trucks across the five boroughs, with the line answered around the clock. We cover everything from the Financial District and Midtown to Williamsburg, Astoria, Flushing, the South Bronx and St. George on Staten Island. For AWD vehicles, EVs and low-clearance cars, a flatbed is the safe, no-drama option. Call (858) 925-5546 and you get the price before anyone is dispatched.
Why flatbed towing instead of wheel lift?
The method depends on the owner's manual, drivetrain, clearance and whether the wheels can roll. Many AWD, 4WD and EV manuals require all drive wheels off the road, which usually means a flatbed or dollies rather than a two-wheel lift. Lowered cars often need a shallower ramp. Give year, make, model and drivetrain when you call so the operator can confirm the setup.
How much does flatbed towing cost in New York City?
Flatbed towing is quoted before dispatch, based on distance, vehicle size, and whether it's a standard or covered/specialized load. You hear the total before dispatch, not at the drop-off. Covered-trailer and exotic transport is priced separately, call for a quote.
Can you tow my Tesla or EV on a flatbed?
Many EV manuals require a flatbed and a model-specific transport or tow mode. Follow the current owner’s manual for that car. The assigned operator confirms whether they can load your Tesla or other EV, including cases where the battery is dead and the parking pawl won't release. There is no one workaround we can promise for every model.
Do you offer long-distance flatbed towing?
Longer runs are quoted before anyone agrees to them. Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Albany and upstate New York are common destinations people ask about, and Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey come up too. Whether an operator can take that trip depends on the vehicle, schedule and access. Out-of-state work isn't automatic.
