Damage-Free Flatbed Towing in Las Vegas
A normal tow can hurt certain cars. Dragging a car on its wheels can damage the drivetrain, scrape the bumper, or put stress on parts that were never meant to touch the road while being pulled. If your car is all-wheel drive, lowered, wrecked, or simply won’t start, this is the risk you’re taking with a standard tow. Flatbed tow trucks solve this.
All State Towing LLC offers safe flatbed towing in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, using trucks built to carry your whole vehicle off the ground.
Why Choose Flatbed Towing in Las Vegas?
Flatbed towing means the entire vehicle rides on a flat deck instead of rolling on its own wheels. No part of the car touches the road during the trip. This matters in Las Vegas because the roads here swing between two extremes: fast, open highways like I-15 and US-95, and slow, packed streets around the Strip and downtown. A flatbed handles both without added risk to your car.
Here’s why a flatbed tow truck service often is the better choice:
- It keeps your tires, suspension, and drivetrain out of the equation. Nothing gets pulled or dragged, so nothing gets extra wear.
- It’s safer for everyone on the road. A vehicle secured flat on a deck can’t sway, drag, or come loose the way a towed vehicle sometimes can.
- It works for almost anything. Motorcycles, sedans, SUVs, and larger vehicles can all ride on a flatbed.
- It’s fast. Our drivers are trained to load a vehicle securely without wasting your time standing on the side of the road.
If you’re dealing with a low-clearance garage or overpass, our low-clearance towing crew has you covered too.
When Is Flatbed Towing Required?
Some vehicles and situations call for a flatbed specifically, not just as an option:
Vehicle or situation | Why it needs a flatbed | Common examples |
All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles | Towing on the wheels can damage the drivetrain | Subaru Outback, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Audi Quattro models |
Lowered or exotic cars | Low ground clearance makes a standard tow risky | Lowered Honda Civic, Ferrari, Lamborghini |
Wrecked or non-running vehicles | Can’t be safely rolled or steered | Any vehicle after an accident or breakdown |
Larger SUVs | Size and weight put more strain on a wheel-lift tow | Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition, GMC Yukon XL |
How Flatbed Loading Works
Loading a car onto a flatbed is a simple process, but it has to be done in the right order to keep the vehicle safe. Here’s how our fast-response flatbed towing service in Las Vegas works:
- Our driver positions the truck in front of or behind the vehicle, wherever gives the flattest, most direct path onto the deck.
- We lower the ramp to a low angle so the car doesn’t scrape as it goes on.
- If the car can be driven, we drive it onto the deck ourselves. If it can’t move on its own, we winch it on slowly instead.
- Once it’s in place, we secure the vehicle with tie-downs at all four points so it can’t shift during the drive.
- We transport the vehicle to its destination, whether that’s a repair shop, your home, or somewhere else.
Flatbed vs. Wheel-Lift Towing
Flatbed Towing | Wheel-Lift Towing | |
Ground contact | None, all four wheels stay on the deck | Only two wheels stay off the ground |
Best for | AWD/4WD, lowered or exotic cars, wrecked or non-running vehicles | Standard, undamaged vehicles that can roll safely |
Risk if used wrong | Rarely an issue, since it’s the safer default | Can strain the drivetrain on AWD/4WD vehicles |
Loading time | Takes a bit longer to load and secure | Faster to hook up and go |
Vehicle types it handles | Motorcycles up through larger SUVs and trucks | Mostly standard cars and light trucks |
Can it move a vehicle that won’t roll at all | Yes, it can be winched on | No, the vehicle needs to be able to roll |
Typical cost | Can cost a bit more due to loading time and equipment | Usually the lower-cost option |
Our Flatbed Towing Company’s Tip:
- Choose flatbed if your car is AWD, 4WD, lowered, exotic, wrecked, or won’t roll at all.
- Choose wheel-lift if your car is a standard vehicle that starts, rolls, and steers fine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is flatbed towing?
It’s towing where your whole vehicle rides on a flat deck instead of rolling on its own wheels.
Is flatbed towing safe for my car?
Yes. Since no part of the car touches the road, it’s one of the safest ways to move a vehicle that can’t be towed normally.
Do I need a flatbed for my AWD or 4WD vehicle?
Yes. Towing an AWD or 4WD vehicle on its wheels can damage the drivetrain, so a flatbed is the safer choice.
Does flatbed towing cost more than wheel-lift towing?
It can cost a bit more, but for certain vehicles it prevents damage that would cost more to fix later.
Do you use flatbeds for electric vehicles like Tesla?
Call to confirm your specific vehicle, but flatbeds are generally the safer choice for EVs since towing on wheels can affect the drive motors.
Can a flatbed tow a vehicle that doesn’t run?
Yes. If a vehicle can’t be driven onto the deck, we winch it on instead.
What kinds of vehicles need a flatbed?
AWD and 4WD vehicles, lowered or exotic cars, wrecked or non-running vehicles, and larger SUVs.
