Frequently Asked Questions
We tow most types of larger passenger and recreational vehicles – such as coach buses, city/shuttle buses, tour buses, RVs/motorhomes (both driveable and towable), mobile homes, and other large trucks.
Buses/motorhomes are much larger and heavier than cars. They need special heavy-duty tow trucks with sufficient lift and proper hoisting equipment to secure the chassis. Towing with a traditional tow truck can damage your vehicle or be dangerous.
We provide heavy-duty wreckers/tow trucks with the right towing gear (axle-forks or underlift systems) and secure connection points, AND load-rated to accommodate hefty vehicles — for a steady, safe lift.
Yes — we know breakdowns and emergencies don’t keep to business hours. We try to be at your service anytime you need us, even if it means working nights or weekends, or even on holidays.
Give your location, the kind of vehicle (RV, bus, motorhome – length if known), whether it's drivable or undriveable, and the direction you want to go (open repair dock, storage, etc.). If possible, record any special conditions (i.e., stuck vehicle, accident, weight load, persons on board before breakdown).
Yes – enormous size and weight affect maneuverability, turning radius, overall stability, and demand “careful” rigging. Towing a coach will generally require additional space, special suspension/axle setup, and traction control in accordance with safety standards.
No— passengers are not allowed to remain inside the EV while towing. And if there is cargo, it must be declared and secured or removed, because weight distribution and load can affect tow safety.
Yes — heavy vehicles are often required to have specialized licensing when it comes to towing, and depending on the vehicle’s weight paired with its load, additional permits or compliance may be necessary for safely transporting them legally.
Yes - some buses/coaches may have unique suspension or axle arrangements (air-ride, “A-arm” suspensions, tag axles, drop axles, etc) which require the appropriate type of lifting device and towing methods (eg, axle fork or tyre lift) to avoid damage.
Yes — if roof-mounted (AC unit, satellite dishes, vents) or other exterior accessories will interfere with our route planning, we use top-down or towing as well. Let us know this info so we can pick out the right gear and trail.
Yes — our heavy-duty fleet can tow disabled buses, RVs, or motorhomes when they are unable to move under their own power. We manage breakdowns, mechanical failures, flat tires and so forth.
Yes, we provide coach bus, motorhome, and RV transport/hauling, as well as long-haul towing. Both our gear and our experience ensure a safe passage for big rigs.
It will vary based on the location accessible. We perform site constraints analysis before deployment (road width, turns, clearances). And if the access is too narrow or hazardous, we’ll talk to you about some alternatives that keep things safe and sound.
Yes — complicated jobs that require special handling, additional workforce, long tow distances, or non-standard recovery can influence pricing. If there are any extra fees, we will always be upfront and let you know.
Make sure you have the Registration, Insurance information and anything to do with Weight/Size or special equipment on the vehicle. If the car is commercial, ensure that any relevant transport regulations are followed.
Yes- we strongly suggest you document the condition of your vehicle (photos of body, suspension and undercarriage) before towing commences. This shields you and us from liability, which matters on a car as large and potentially expensive as this.
If done right with the proper equipment (and technique, axle-forks/under-lift and securement), towing should not damage suspension or frame components. That’s why it is critical to trust a reputable heavy-duty towing service.
Think safety – no passengers in the motorhome while being towed. Also, consider where your belongings or cargo will be, how pets or people will travel, and what you’ll need to do while the car is being towed.
We aim to get back to you as quickly as possible, but timing will vary based on truck availability, where you are, traffic conditions, and how far we have to go. In emergencies, we give fast dispatch precedence.
When you call, give your location (precisely if possible), type of vehicle (coach bus, RV, or motorhome - with approximate size/length), current condition (dead in the water), passengers, cargo, and destination. Please indicate the presence of obstacles or special features, if any (height, width, type of axle). This enables us to dispatch the appropriate truck and crew.
