Auto Wrecking and Flatbed Towing in Tupelo, Mississippi
Flat bed towing is used when the damage of a vehicle is so severe that it cannot be operated safely. The use of the right equipment and a professional crew to remove the vehicle from the road will provide peace of mind. Flat bed towing and accident vehicle recovery services by Seguin Towing (Seguin, TX) offers safe transportation of damaged, disabled, or non-operating vehicles. In order to reduce frustration and stress related to transporting a vehicle that is severely damaged, we provide clear communication and careful handling of the vehicle at all times.
Safe Transportation for Damaged Vehicles
In addition to our knowledge of what constitutes an accident, we also have experience with significant mechanical failures. We also know whether a vehicle's low clearance or damaged wheels require special attention before towing. Due to the complexity of towing a damaged vehicle, each vehicle towed by us is evaluated as to how best to safely load, secure, and transport the vehicle prior to towing. Prior to towing a damaged vehicle, we assess both the severity of the damage and the circumstances surrounding the damage. Based on this assessment, we determine if flat bed towing is required to avoid putting additional stress on any damaged component(s). Once the decision is made regarding the type of towing equipment to be used to move the damaged vehicle, we take care of all aspects of the transport.
Flatbed Towing for Added Protection
The benefit of flatbed towing versus a wheel lift is that you are able to move the vehicle without any of the wheels touching the ground. The vehicle will be lifted onto a bed which will be attached to a tow truck and transported in this manner. A vehicle may need to be towed via flatbed if it has been damaged in a collision, the engine is out of commission, a specialty vehicle needs to be moved, the vehicle does not have enough clearance under the frame or body, or if the vehicle is unable to run.
There are also fewer stresses put upon the tires, drive train and other parts while towing due to the fact that the vehicle is totally supported by the flatbed while in transit. At Seguin Towing we use flatbeds whenever possible depending on the make, model and condition of the vehicle along with the reason why it is being towed.
Auto Wrecking and Vehicle Recovery
After an accident or large mechanical failure when a car cannot be operated due to the level of damage incurred on that vehicle, there may be a need for special towing and recovery. Vehicles involved in a significant collision or experiencing severe damage are often located in areas difficult to access and load which makes standard towing and transportation of the vehicle not feasible.
Seguin Towing will assess the damaged vehicle and determine the most suitable method of removal based upon the details of each incident. The factors that contribute to determining the type of equipment required and towing technique include; vehicle status, the extent of damage to the vehicle, its location, the vehicle's position and accessibility.
The goal at Seguin Towing is to recover damaged vehicles safely and efficiently while protecting the vehicle from further damage during the entire recovery operation.
Collision and Accident Towing
While a vehicle may be able to operate (move) after an accident, this does not automatically indicate that the vehicle is safe for continued operation. Damages to the wheels, suspension, steering system, fluids or other critical components of the vehicle could render it unsafe for further use on public roads. In addition, many types of damage are not immediately observable following a crash.
In the event of a vehicle being damaged in an accident, Seguin Towing will safely tow it away from the accident site and deliver it to a repair shop, storage facility, dealership, residence, etc. as you request. Towing the vehicle at the time of the accident versus continuing to drive may also serve to protect against potential further damage and diminishes the risk of injury or death due to using a vehicle which may now be incapable of safe travel on public roads.
Provide all available details regarding your vehicle's status post-accident including where it is located when making arrangements for accident towing. Examples include; if one or both tires/wheels have been damaged, fluid leaks exist, an airbag was activated, extensive damage exists to the body of the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be easily accessed. The detail provided above will assist us to identify and prepare for the proper type of towing apparatus/equipment required prior to arrival.
Towing Vehicles That Cannot Be Driven
Flatbed towing offers many advantages when there are potential hazards such as bad tire(s), steering issue, broken parts in the suspension system, motor failure, etc. This allows us to load your vehicle onto the flat bed so that it may be moved safely without putting you at risk because you do not have to use your vehicle during transport.
Prior to towing your vehicle, Seguin Towing will evaluate the condition of your vehicle to ensure that we choose the best way to load and move your vehicle. We want to take care of your vehicle from start to finish by limiting any unnecessary movements which could cause further damage as well as limit the amount of time it is exposed to any elements (i.e. rain, dust, wind, etc.) prior to and after loading and securing the vehicle and during transport.
Careful Loading and Secure Transport
Proper loading of a vehicle is one of the most critical aspects of providing safe towing for customers whose vehicle is either accident damaged or disabled. Vehicles damaged in accidents can be compromised with loose parts, broken wheel assemblies, and/or severely damaged body panels which are of significant importance to address properly during the loading process.
Prior to hauling a customer's vehicle, Seguin Towing will evaluate the vehicle for both overall condition and its orientation/position as well as accessibility to assess what type of loading approach would be best suited for the situation. After being loaded, the vehicle will then be carefully placed on the hauler/trailer and secured in such a manner to prevent any unwanted movement during transit.
By emphasizing the loading and securing of a customer's vehicle as well as evaluating the overall condition of it prior to transport, Seguin Towing strives to offer our customers a safer and more reliable towing service from pickup through delivery. The intent at Seguin Towing is to provide responsible handling of your vehicle throughout each phase of the towing process while reducing potential damage beyond initial.
