Fault-proof Towing-Your Classic Car Arrives In Its Original Condition

Not many classic transport companies work with professionals, so they might jeopardize the loading and unloading of the car, thus risking damage. But with Expedite Towing, you can expect a fantastic job. Here are some of the ways we protect cars:

  • Collins carrier dollies : Our team slips this equipment under your car tires and adjusts the equipment to elevate the car off the ground. Using the dolly’s winch force, we will slowly glide the car onto the truck’s lowered flatbed. The car remains attached to the Collins carrier and dollies throughout transportation, where they will also facilitate the unloading at the destination.
  • Soft bridle tie : If you have a frameless car, our team will connect a soft bridle on its undercarriage, which connects to a tow hook. It’s an excellent way to avoid scratches on the car’s undercarriage.
  • Four-point tie down : With this method, your car rides on its own suspension while firmly secured on the tow truck’s flatbed across all four tires. The system is completely flexible for use on any car tire size. 

What to Do Before Transport

Prepare your vehicle for transport: Towing companies may have specific instructions for transport. You want to ensure you know what your vehicle needs before transportation. Do they allow you to leave your items in your car during transport? Can your car be towed with a full fuel tank? And as a general rule, taking pictures of your car for comparison before and after transport is essential.

Protect your car: While it’s reasonable to expect problem-free transportation, it’s also impossible to predict what might happen to your car in transit. So ensure you have an agreed value policy for your antique car. Yes. We said, “agreed.” And why is that? Because most standard insurance doesn’t provide the level of protection that classic car insurance would offer. 

Get your classic car to any destination in San Diego county with Expedite Towing; we are confident you’ll love our service. Each of our team members understands the prep work that needs to be done and the safety precautions they must follow. So expect your car to arrive at its destination in its pre-transport condition. And if we didn’t answer your questions, feel free to contact us any time.
