Professional Wheel Lift Towing Services Throughout Laurelton, Queens
Wheel lift towing is the classic and most common form of tow truck service. Instead of loading a vehicle onto a flatbed, a hydraulic yoke lifts the vehicle's drive wheels off the ground while the non-drive wheels roll on the pavement. This method is fast, efficient, and works well for most standard vehicles that are still operational or recently disabled.

Our drivers service this neighborhood daily, so when the call comes in from near Laurelton Playground or Laurelton LIRR station, they already know the best approach, where to stage the truck, and how to keep the job moving.
