AWD vehicles cannot be wheel-lifted without causing drivetrain damage. When one axle is lifted and the other remains on the ground, the drivetrain rotates with the engine off, damaging internal components. Flatbed keeps all four wheels completely off the ground -- the only safe method for any AWD vehicle.
Yes. EVs must be flatbed towed with all four wheels off the ground to protect the motor and regenerative braking system. We dispatch flatbed for every EV call automatically. Tell us it is an EV when you call and we confirm the loading setup before dispatch.
Yes. Flatbed extraction from the ferry holding lane requires specific positioning and approach to remove the vehicle from the queue without blocking adjacent lanes. We handle this regularly and coordinate with terminal traffic when required. Tell the dispatcher you are in the ferry lane when you call.
Pricing is based on the job -- vehicle type, situation, and distance. The price is confirmed upfront before dispatch and does not change on arrival. There are no add-on charges when we arrive.
Loading a vehicle on a grade requires correct approach angle, winch positioning that accounts for the slope, and tie-down technique that holds the vehicle securely on a flatbed deck that is not level. Our operators assess the specific grade and surface before loading and execute accordingly. Tell us you are on a hill street when you call.
Yes. We handle flatbed transport from Mukilteo to any destination -- Lynnwood, Everett, Seattle, Bellevue, or anywhere in Washington state. Delivery confirmation is sent to your phone when the vehicle arrives.
Whidbey Island ferry commuters driving AWD trucks and crossovers represent the most common flatbed call type in Mukilteo. Post-accident vehicles on the Mukilteo Speedway corridor with suspension damage are the second most common. EVs driven by Harbour Pointe residents are a growing flatbed call type.
