Why Proper Towing Matters

Towing is more than moving a vehicle from point A to point B. Incorrect lift points, improper securing, or inappropriate equipment can lead to costly damage, alignment and drivetrain issues, and safety hazards. In accident scenarios, preserving evidence and handling vehicles with damage safely is critical for insurance claims and later repairs. Professional towing ensures that vehicles are stabilized, secured, and transported in a way that minimizes further harm and facilitates repair.
