Here at Snohomish towing company we have two different types of tow trucks, what is the wrecker and the other is a rollback tow truck or in some cases people call it a flatbed tow truck. The rollback tow truck is most of the time the best tow truck to get to have your vehicle towed.
It is the best option because your whole vehicle sits on top of the bed off the rollback tow truck and therefore your vehicles wheels and tires never touch pavement. A rollback tow truck is a great option and your only option if you have a 4 x 4 vehicle or an all-wheel-drive vehicle. Those vehicles have all four of their wheels and tires rotate all of the time or most of the time, and therefore cannot be towed by a small wrecker or wheel lift tow truck, because none of the wheels and tires can ever touch pavement due to the vehicles differential system. If you tell your vehicle that is a all-wheel-drive or 4 x 4 with a wheel lift a Rucker tow truck you are going to damage it 99.9% of the time . Cars or trucks with 4 x 4 differentials or all wheel drive vehicles include BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, and many more. You can be sure that most car manufacturers today make at least one or two of their models, an all-wheel-drive or 4 x 4 vehicle , so be sure to ask for rollback or a flatbed tow truck if you have an all-wheel-drive or 4 x 4 car or a truck.
But let’s say that you don’t have a 4 x 4, an all-wheel-drive car or a truck, let’s say you just have an older classic car or a high-end vehicle. Well, you still should ask for a rollback or flatbed tow truck . A classic car or truck that has been restored really needs to be on the back of a rollback tow truck, because even though it might be fully restored, it is still a classic, or an antique if you want to preserve it, and all of the time at work you have put into it as much as you can . If you where to put that classic car truck on a wrecker or wheel lift tow truck two of the wheels, either in the front or in the back would be rolling on the ground and by rolling on the ground that vehicle would be bouncing up-and-down every time it went over a pothole or rough terrain. But it’s bouncing all over the place will surely Cause other issues for your car or truck. That is why here at Snohomish towing company we majority of the time prefer to use our rollback tow trucks and flatbed tow trucks for most of the towing that we do here in the Snohomish area.
