Flatbed and low-loader recovery
Some jobs need a flatbed or low-loader rather than a standard tow — low ride height, locked wheels, all-wheel drive concerns, or bodywork that should not roll. Call nearby agents from Direct Recovery and ask for a flatbed when you speak to them.
When a flatbed helps
Sports cars, modified exhausts, winter weather with seized brakes, and accident damage are common reasons. If the car cannot roll freely onto a conventional underlift, say so up front so the operator sends the right equipment.
Price and distance
Flatbed recoveries can cost more than a simple local tow, especially over longer distances. Agree the loaded price, waiting time, and whether the destination is a garage, dealer, or home address before they leave.

Questions
Do all agents have flatbeds?
No. Ask when you call. Many independents have access to a flatbed themselves or via a partner truck.
Can you move a car with no keys?
Sometimes, with the right equipment. Mention lockout or missing keys on the call so the agent can confirm.
