How Light-Duty Towing Works
The process starts with the vehicle details and location. Economy Towing will need to know where the vehicle is, what type of vehicle it is, what problem you are dealing with, and where it needs to go.
The driver will check the vehicle’s position, condition, and access before loading. Depending on the vehicle and situation, the tow may involve a wheel-lift setup, flatbed transport, or another method suited to the vehicle.
Once the vehicle is loaded and secured, it is transported to the agreed drop-off location. This may be a mechanic, dealership, home, apartment complex, storage yard, or another approved location.

Light-Duty Towing FAQs
Below we have gathered some of the most common questions. If you still have questions, you can visit our towing and roadside assistance blog.
-
My car starts, but I do not feel safe driving it. Should I tow it?
Yes, towing may be the safer choice if the vehicle starts but has steering problems, brake issues, overheating, warning lights, leaking fluids, suspension damage, or a tire problem. A car does not have to be completely dead to need a tow. This is common after curb hits, minor accidents, overheating, or when the vehicle feels unstable at speed. If driving it could make the damage worse or put you at risk, towing is usually the better option.
-
Do all-wheel-drive cars need a flatbed tow?
Many AWD vehicles are best moved by flatbed because all four wheels are connected through the drivetrain. Dragging the wrong wheels can cause drivetrain or transmission damage, especially if the vehicle is not set up for that kind of towing. Some situations may allow other methods with the right equipment, but AWD should always be mentioned before the tow. The vehicle’s drivetrain matters as much as the vehicle size.
-
Can you tow my car if I lost the keys?
A lost-key tow may be possible, but the vehicle may be harder to load if the steering is locked, the parking brake is set, or the car cannot be shifted into neutral. The exact issue depends on the vehicle make, model, and how it is parked. This matters more in tight spaces like apartment lots, parking garages, and driveways. Without keys, the driver may need to work around locked wheels, locked steering, or limited access.
-
Can you tow my car if it has a flat tire and no spare?
Yes, a flat tire with no usable spare is a common reason for light-duty towing. The tow method depends on which tire is flat, whether the rim is damaged, and whether the vehicle can roll enough to be loaded. If the tire shredded, the wheel is bent, or more than one tire is flat, that should be mentioned. Those details can change how the vehicle is moved and secured.
-
Can you tow my car after a minor accident if it still drives?
Yes, towing may still be needed after a minor accident if there is tire, steering, suspension, radiator, brake, or body damage. A car that “still drives” may not be safe to drive on public roads. This is especially true if a tire is rubbing, fluid is leaking, warning lights are on, the hood will not latch, or the vehicle pulls to one side. The safer move is to treat the vehicle as disabled until it has been checked.
-
Can you tow my car if it is stuck in park?
A vehicle stuck in park may still be towable, but it needs the right handling. Towing a vehicle in park without lifting the correct wheels or using the right loading method can damage the transmission or drivetrain. Sources that discuss stuck-in-park towing commonly point to flatbeds, wheel dollies, or other controlled loading methods as safer options. The key detail is whether the vehicle can roll, steer, or shift into neutral. That should be explained before pickup so the driver knows what kind of loading issue to expect.
-
Can you tow my car from a parking garage?
Possibly, but parking garages can be difficult because of height limits, tight turns, steep ramps, low ceilings, and narrow lanes. A tow truck may not be able to enter every garage, especially if the vehicle is parked on an upper level or in a tight space. Helpful details include the garage name, clearance height, level, parking space location, vehicle type, and whether the vehicle can roll or steer. In some cases, the vehicle may need to be moved to a safer loading area first.
-
Can a tow truck take my car to my apartment, not just a repair shop?
Yes, many light-duty tows go to homes, apartments, storage lots, dealerships, tire shops, and repair shops. The drop-off location just needs to be legal, accessible, and safe for unloading. For apartments or gated communities, gate codes, parking instructions, assigned-space rules, and narrow lanes can affect the drop-off. Apartment towing situations often involve property rules, reserved spaces, or access limitations, so it is better to have the exact drop-off details ready.
-
What if my car is blocked in or parked in a tight spot?
A vehicle in a tight spot may still be towable, but access is the main issue. Apartment lots, shopping centers, driveways, and parking garages can limit how the truck lines up with the vehicle. The driver needs enough room to reach the car without damaging nearby vehicles, walls, curbs, landscaping, or property. If the car is blocked in, photos or clear location details can help determine the best approach.
-
What should I do while waiting for a tow on the freeway?
Move yourself and passengers away from traffic if it is safe to do so. Staying inside the vehicle on a freeway shoulder can be dangerous, especially at night, near curves, or in heavy traffic. Keep your phone on and be ready to describe your location using the freeway name, direction of travel, nearest exit, mile marker, cross street, or map pin. Roadside towing guidance commonly stresses location details and staying safe while waiting.
