Professional Car Towing Service

Car towing services form the backbone of roadside assistance operations, handling the vast majority of vehicle transport needs throughout Arlington Heights and surrounding communities. Professional car towing requires understanding the specific requirements of different passenger vehicle types, from compact economy cars to full-size SUVs and everything in between.

Modern passenger vehicles incorporate sophisticated technology that requires careful handling during towing operations. According to automotive industry data, nearly 85% of vehicle breakdowns involve passenger cars, making reliable car towing services essential for community mobility. Electronic systems, advanced transmissions, and computer-controlled components can be damaged by improper towing techniques, emphasizing the importance of professional service.

Front-wheel-drive vehicles, which represent the majority of modern cars, require specific towing procedures to prevent transmission damage. Our operators are trained to identify drive configurations and select appropriate towing methods for each vehicle type. Wheel-lift towing works well for most front-wheel-drive cars, while all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles often require flatbed transport to avoid drivetrain complications.

SUVs and crossover vehicles present unique challenges due to their higher ground clearance and weight distribution characteristics. Proper loading techniques ensure stability during transport while preventing damage to running boards, air dams, or low-hanging components. Our equipment includes adjustable wheel lifts and loading accessories specifically designed for larger passenger vehicles.

Luxury passenger vehicles often feature low-profile tires, custom wheels, and aerodynamic body components that require extra care during towing operations. Premium vehicles may also include advanced driver assistance systems and electronic parking brakes that must be properly managed before and during transport. Our operators receive specialized training in handling high-end passenger vehicles to maintain their pristine condition.

Car towing encompasses both emergency and planned transport situations. Emergency towing typically involves breakdowns, accidents, or mechanical failures requiring immediate assistance. Planned towing includes dealership transfers, vehicle purchases, and service appointments where customers prefer professional transport over driving. Both scenarios demand professional attention to detail and customer service excellence to ensure complete satisfaction.
