Wheel-lift towing, sometimes referred to as hook-and-chain towing, allows the front or rear wheels to roll while the other set is supported by a wheel-lift. If performed by an inexperienced tow truck operator, this method can damage drivetrains, transmissions, and tires. Flatbed towing lifts all four wheels completely off the ground, which is the manufacturer preferred option for most all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles. At B & W Wrecker, we always assess your specific vehicle and situation and use the method that best protects it.
