Careful Flatbed Towing in Laredo, TX
Every vehicle rides on the deck with all four wheels off the road, secured at each wheel — the right way to move all-wheel drive, electric, lowered and classic cars.
What We Put On The Deck
Every job is quoted before a truck is sent — a hook-up fee plus mileage, and nothing added at the curb.
Flatbeds Only. That's The Point.
Hollowell started with one rollback and a rule: nothing we tow touches the road. Twelve years and twelve trucks later the rule hasn't changed. A wheel-lift is quicker to hook up, but it drags two wheels and strains the drivetrain on anything with all-wheel drive, and it's the reason so many lowered and classic cars come off a tow with a scraped bumper. A flatbed takes a few minutes longer. Every car we move is winched onto a tilted deck, secured at all four wheels and photographed before and after — so you can see it arrived exactly as it left.
- ✓Winched onto the deck, never pushed or driven up
- ✓Secured at all four wheels, never through the frame

- ✓Drivers trained on EV tow modes and low-clearance loading
When Your Car Shouldn't Be Dragged
If any of these describe your vehicle, ask for a flatbed — most manufacturers say the same in the owner's manual.
All-wheel & four-wheel drive
Towing on two wheels can damage the transfer case and center differential.
Electric & hybrid cars
Many can't be towed with the drive wheels turning without risking the motor.
Lowered or modified cars
A tilted deck with ramp extensions clears splitters and low bumpers.
Classics & collectibles
No stress on old suspension and steering, and nothing touching the paint.
Accident damage
A car that won't roll straight still loads cleanly with the winch.
Long trips
No wear on your tires or transmission, however far it's going.

Photos Before We Touch It
The driver photographs all four sides and sends them to your phone.
Winched Onto The Deck
The bed tilts to the ground and the winch pulls the car up slowly — with ramp extensions for low cars.
Secured At All Four Wheels
Four-point tie-down at the wheels — chains on work trucks, soft straps on classics — never around the axle or frame.
Photos At Drop-Off
Unloaded where you choose and photographed again, so both sets match.

Straight Onto The Deck
My car is lowered with a front splitter and two other companies wanted to drag it on a wheel-lift. Hollowell sent a flatbed with ramp extensions and it went up the deck without touching the bumper.
We have them move trade-ins between our two lots every week. Every car arrives secured at all four wheels, photographed before and after, and the invoice is always what we were quoted.
Electric car, dead battery, parking garage. The driver knew exactly how to put it in tow mode and kept all four wheels off the ground to the dealer. No drama at all.
Laredo And Beyond
Flatbeds run across Laredo around the clock, and longer moves up I-35 or out along US-59 are quoted by the mile — the same four-point tie-down whether it's two miles or two hundred.

Flatbed Towing Questions
How much does flatbed towing cost in Laredo?
A local flatbed tow starts from $110 for the hook-up, plus a per-mile rate for the distance. Dispatch gives you the full price before a truck is sent, and that's the price on the invoice.
Is a flatbed really necessary for an all-wheel-drive car?
For most, yes. Towing an all-wheel-drive car with two wheels on the road can damage the transfer case or center differential. Your owner's manual will usually say so — and we only run flatbeds.
Can you tow an electric car?
Yes. Our drivers know how to put common EVs into tow or transport mode, and the car rides with all four wheels off the ground. If the battery is completely dead, we winch it onto the deck.
My car is very low. Will it fit on the deck?
Our trucks carry ramp extensions that lower the loading angle, and the winch pulls the car up slowly so the front end clears. Tell dispatch the ride height and we'll bring the right setup.
Can I ride along?
One passenger can ride in most of our trucks. Let dispatch know when you call.
Do you move vehicles for dealerships?
Yes — scheduled lot-to-lot and auction moves with before-and-after photos, billed monthly on one invoice.
