Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
■Flat bed equipment
The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.
