Flatbed tow trucks in Dallas-Fort Worth
A flatbed carries your car with all four wheels off the pavement, which is the safest way to move it.
Flatbed Tow Trucks
A flatbed tow truck, sometimes called a rollback, has a steel deck that tilts and slides back to the ground. Your vehicle is pulled up onto it with a winch or driven on, strapped down at the wheels, and carried with nothing touching the road. Maverick Towing runs flatbeds across Dallas-Fort Worth 24 hours a day from Irving, Plano, Dallas, and Wylie.
That matters more than it used to. All-wheel-drive cars, many automatics, and most electric vehicles cannot be towed with two wheels rolling without damaging the drivetrain. Lowered cars and long sedans scrape on a wheel-lift. A flatbed removes all of that. It is also the right choice for a car with collision damage, a seized engine, or a wheel that will not turn.
We tow cars, SUVs, pickups, vans, motorcycles, boats on trailers, and light commercial vehicles on our flatbeds. Long distance towing is available when the car is headed to a shop or a new home outside the metroplex. Tell us what you are moving and where it is going, and we will send the right truck.
What we handle
When you should ask for a flatbed
- All-wheel-drive, four-wheel-drive, and most electric vehicles
- Cars with lowered suspension or long front overhangs
- Collision damage, bent wheels, or locked brakes
- Non-running vehicles that need to be winched aboard
- Long distance moves where a wheel-lift would wear tires
- Motorcycles, small trailers, and light commercial vans
Why our flatbeds are worth the call
Not every tow company sends a flatbed when you ask for one. We do. Our drivers are licensed, bonded, and insured in Texas, and they have loaded everything from show cars to a military Humvee in more than ten years of working Dallas-Fort Worth roads. You pick the destination and the car arrives the same way it left.
FAQ
Flatbed Tow Trucks questions
What is the difference between a flatbed and a wrecker?
A wrecker lifts one end of the car and tows it with two wheels on the road. A flatbed carries the whole car on a deck. Wreckers are quicker in tight spaces and fine for many short tows, but a flatbed is safer for all-wheel-drive, damaged, and low vehicles.
Can a flatbed load a car that will not start?
Yes. The deck tilts down to the ground and a winch pulls the car up the ramp. If the car is in neutral and the wheels turn, it goes on easily. If a wheel is locked or the transmission will not shift, the driver has ways to get it aboard, so tell us when you call.
Do you do long distance flatbed towing?
We do. If your car needs to go to a specialist shop in Austin, a family member in Houston, or anywhere else in Texas, call with the pickup and drop-off addresses and we will quote the trip. The car rides on the deck the entire way.
Will my low car scrape going onto the deck?
It should not. Our drivers lower the deck to the flattest angle the ground allows and can add ramps to reduce the approach angle further. If you know your car is very low, say so when you call so the driver comes prepared.
