A flatbed tow places all four wheels on a flat deck rather than dragging one end, which protects low cars, AWD and 4WD drivetrains, and damaged vehicles that cannot be wheel-lifted. Mesquite Fast Tow runs flatbed calls across Mesquite, Balch Springs, Sunnyvale, Garland, and Forney.
$110 to $225 for a flatbed tow within Mesquite, depending on vehicle type and destination
Wheel-lift towing raises the front or rear end and drags the other set of wheels on the road. That works fine for most front-wheel-drive sedans but causes drivetrain damage on AWD and 4WD vehicles, and it risks body damage on sports cars with low front splitters. A flatbed loads the whole car flat, so nothing drags and nothing flexes. Use a flatbed for any AWD or 4WD vehicle, any car with less than four inches of ground clearance, and anything after a collision where the front or rear is crushed.
Mesquite has a fair amount of railroad crossings and dipped driveways that snag low cars, and the parking structures off Town East can catch sport bumpers on the ramps. If your car has sat and a splitter has cracked, or if you just bought something with a stanced suspension and want it delivered without scraping, request the flatbed when you call and we will confirm it is the right truck for your car.
After a collision on I-30 or the I-635/US-80 interchange, the damaged end of a car cannot always roll. A flatbed winches the car up, straps it flat, and moves it to the body shop without putting any more stress on bent metal. We work with most body shops in Mesquite, Garland, and Balch Springs and will call ahead if you want.
Yes, with almost no exceptions. Wheel-lifting an AWD vehicle puts rotational force through the transfer case while the engine is off, which can damage it. The only safe option for AWD and most 4WD vehicles is four wheels on a flatbed. When you call, tell us the drivetrain type and we send the right truck automatically.
Flatbed rates in Mesquite typically run $15 to $50 more than a wheel-lift tow because of the larger equipment. You are quoted the flatbed price up front, before anything rolls, so you know the exact number before agreeing.
A standard flatbed can carry a motorcycle with the right tie-down kit, but confirm when you call so we verify the right equipment is available. Motorcycles require a different approach to strapping and loading than cars and trucks.
The flatbed has a hydraulic tilt and a winch. A car that cannot roll under its own power is winched up from the front or rear onto the deck. We do this regularly for post-collision vehicles. Just tell us what condition the car is in when you call.
