I've used Apple in the past and they alway had flatbeds. Rates were decent but that was a long time ago.

Are you having problems with your G again?

My best friend owns a wheel lift and flat bed. He knows how to deal with lowered cars and will bring boards to get it on the truck. Shoot me a PM and I will get you hooked up. I will even get you a really good rate. For that matter, I will hook up any members that need tows. Just let me know.

question guys? here is the scenerio, my car was parked head in, emergency brake on, wheels turned...now here come the cursed truck driver of the place i was visiting and took my G, would he be able to take the G without causing any damage to it, and if so how can i prove it?? My guess is he towed it from the rear but since our cars are much lower than reg cars, i would assume this would damage the front end or something correct?

An experienced driver can get your car without damaging it. Lets say you are parallel parked, wheels turned inwards, e-brake on, and in gear. Most people think the driver doesn't have a chance. I have four go-jacks (jackable skate that lifts the wheel of the ground) on my truck and I will put them around all 4 wheels and push your car sideways out of the spot. Once I am able to back the truck up to it, I will put the front wheels on dollies and pick it up from the rear. Ba da bing! Your car is mine! Its pretty simple. I have done repo's before and literally have encountered all kinds of things people do to keep tow truck drivers from taking their car. All I have to say is, there is always a way.

Hope this answers your question.
