Long-Distance Towing

Long-distance towing is exactly what it sounds like: transporting your vehicle over a significant distance, usually more than 50 miles. This could mean moving a car from one city to another, towing a vehicle to a repair shop in a different state, or hauling a car across the country. Unlike local towing, which typically involves short trips within the same area, long-distance towing requires more planning, specialized equipment, and experienced operators who know how to handle extended highway travel.

There are many reasons you might need long-distance towing. Maybe you bought a car from a private seller in another state and need it delivered to your home. Maybe your vehicle broke down on a road trip and you want it towed back to your trusted mechanic in Woodridge. Maybe you are relocating for work and need to move your car along with your other belongings. Whatever the reason, long-distance towing provides a safe and efficient way to get your vehicle where it needs to go without putting unnecessary miles on the odometer or risking additional damage.

We handle long-distance towing with the same care and professionalism as our local towing services. We use flatbed trucks for most long-distance jobs, because they provide the best protection for your vehicle during highway travel. Our drivers are experienced in cross-state transport, and they know how to navigate traffic, weather, and other challenges that can come up on long trips. When you trust us with your long-distance tow, you can be confident that your vehicle will arrive safely and on time.

You might be tempted to drive a broken-down car yourself or hire a friend with a trailer to save money. However, long-distance vehicle transport comes with risks and challenges that make professional towing the smarter choice. Here is why professional long-distance towing is worth the investment.

Benefits of Professional Long-Distance Towing

• Vehicle Protection: Our flatbed trucks keep your car completely off the road during transport, which eliminates wear on tires, transmission, and suspension. This is especially important for long trips that involve hundreds of miles.
• Insurance Coverage: We are fully licensed and insured, which means your vehicle is protected in the unlikely event of damage during transport. If something goes wrong, our insurance covers it.
• Time Savings: Driving a damaged or unreliable vehicle long distances is stressful and time-consuming. Professional towing lets you focus on other things while we handle the transport.
• Safety: Towing a vehicle yourself requires the right equipment, knowledge, and experience. Mistakes can lead to accidents, damage, or breakdowns. Our operators are trained professionals who do this every day.
• Peace of Mind: When you hire us, you can relax knowing your vehicle is in good hands. We provide updates during the trip and deliver your car exactly where you want it.

Another advantage of professional long-distance towing is that it prevents additional damage to your vehicle. If your car has mechanical problems, driving it long distances can make those problems worse. You might end up with a much higher repair bill than you would have if you had towed the car in the first place. We also offer flatbed towing for vehicles that need extra protection during transport.

Long-distance towing requires more planning and coordination than a typical local tow. When you call us for a long-distance job, we start by gathering all the details. We need to know where the vehicle is located, where it needs to go, what kind of car it is, and whether it is in running condition. This information helps us determine the best route, the right equipment, and an accurate price estimate.

Once we have the details, we schedule a pickup time that works for you. If you are not able to be there when we arrive, we can make arrangements to pick up the vehicle without you present, as long as you provide proper authorization and documentation. We understand that long-distance towing often involves complicated logistics, and we do our best to make the process as convenient as possible.

On the day of the pickup, our operator will arrive with a flatbed truck and load your vehicle onto the platform. We use heavy-duty straps and chains to secure the car, ensuring it will not shift or move during transport. Once the vehicle is loaded, our driver will begin the trip to the destination. Depending on the distance, this could take a few hours or several days. We keep you updated along the way, so you always know where your car is and when it will arrive.

When we reach the destination, we unload your vehicle carefully and place it exactly where you want it. If you are not able to be there for the delivery, we can make arrangements to leave the car in a safe location and provide you with the keys and paperwork. We also offer door-to-door service, which means we pick up your vehicle from one address and deliver it directly to another. Whether you need a car moved across town or across the country, we have the experience and equipment to get the job done right.
