Can you tow a lowered car with a standard tow truck?

No. Standard wheel-lift or hook-and-chain tow trucks risk severe damage to lowered vehicles. The undercarriage, bumper, and suspension can scrape or bend during loading. A flatbed towing service for low clearance cars is the only safe option. Neptune Towing uses specialized flatbed equipment with low-angle ramps and soft-strap tie-downs to protect your vehicle.

What is the best method for towing a car with low ground clearance?

Flatbed towing is the industry standard. A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the ground, eliminating contact with pavement or obstacles. Combined with soft-strap tie-downs (not metal hooks), custom loading ramps, and professional securement procedures, flatbed transport prevents undercarriage damage. This is how to tow a car with low ground clearance safely and properly.

What types of vehicles need low clearance towing service?

Lowered and modified cars, sports cars, luxury vehicles, classic cars, and many electric vehicles like Teslas require specialized towing. Any vehicle with ground clearance under 5 inches should use a flatbed towing service. If you're unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, call Neptune Towing in Tulsa for a free assessment.

How do I know if my car needs a specialized towing service?

Measure your vehicle's ground clearance—the distance from the lowest point of your vehicle to the ground. If it's under 5 inches, use a flatbed service. Also check for lowered suspension, aftermarket bumpers, or body modifications. When in doubt, contact a professional towing company. Neptune Towing serves Tulsa, Jenks, Broken Arrow, and surrounding areas with 24/7 emergency towing for low-profile vehicles.
