    Default Can anyone tow in South Suburbs?

    Looking to get my car towed in the south suburbs. Looking to tow a couple miles away to Full Blown motors.

    Wondering if anyone can help me out or knows a friend that could.

    Thanks

    I could but you'd be on cash rates.......I don't think my boss would think highly of me cutting deals when were slow around our shop.....if its going a couple of miles you'd probley be around 110-115 bucks...lmk...ill pm ya the info if ya want. I run a f650 with a 21ft flatbed and am the one who usually deals with the tuner cars

    AAA Gold. Its 100 for a year and you get 4 tows a year up to 100miles. Or pay 50 and get the 4 5 mile tow's.

    Your cheap ass if you can get it for $50 already though.

    The only downfall to aaa is some (not all) of the drivers don't have a clue when it comes to dealing with a modded car. I've been doing this for 9 years and have a pretty highend group of customers that I deal with. 50 bucks seems really cheap considering what it costs to run this equipment.

    Get off your high horse and quit acting like you're the only driver in the world that knows what he's doing

    When do you need it done, man? If you have a trailer and some straps, i can bring a truck and tow where ever you need.

    Simply let them know that the car needs to be on a flatbed. I've done so in the past with no issues.
    Technology is the only substitute for cubic inches.

    I not tring to be a ass....but like I said I've seen the posts on here about people bitching about their car getting damaged from being towed. but yet want it done basically for free so that's why I said you yet what you pay for. I've gotten to the point of actually using a wheellift and dollies on some cars because of less chance of damage compaired to getting them on a flatbed

    If you have enough wooden boards you can get anything on a bed without damage.


    hey dana, i could do it to but i couldnt beat luther's prices... I could match it on the other hand. I can tow it with a flatbed or a wrecker.

    Oh without. A doubt you can with enough boards. I've been running a flatbed for 8 of the ten years I've been in towing so anything is possible.

    It isnt that damn hard to tow a car with a wrecker or a flat bed. Those that f*ck up tows are rude tow truck drivers who have rude attitudes and dont care and just want to get to the next tow job for more cash in their pocket. For regular cars or lowered cars, all it takes is enough wooden boards and you can get anything on a bed without damage. Well said! I hate it when tow truck drivers complain "50 bucks seems really cheap considering what it costs to run this equipment." its just like the rude tire guy complaining "$35 to replace the nail in your tire because it costs me $10K in these tire equipment". How about provide good customer service and quit bitching so you get customers and returning customers and referrals.

    You could have changed your flat tire on the side of the highway & plugged it at home by yourself for around $8, but you didn't want to deal with all the bullshit and paid an additional $77 for convienence.
