Built for the Vehicles Atlanta Drivers Actually Use
Most breakdowns don’t involve anything oversized or unusual, just a regular car, sedan, hatchback, or small SUV that won’t start or won’t move. Light duty towing is what handles the vast majority of calls we get, and it’s what we’re set up to do quickly, day in and day out, across Metro Atlanta.
Vehicles We Classify as Light Duty
Everyday sedans and coupes, including daily commuters and smaller performance cars, make up the bulk of what we tow on any given day.
Hatchbacks and compact SUVs load onto our light duty equipment just as easily, regardless of make or model.
Minivans and small crossovers, while a step up in size from a sedan, still fall comfortably within light duty range and get handled with the same care.
Compact pickup trucks used for daily driving also belong here, separate from the larger work trucks and vans that need heavier equipment.
Why It Matters to Get the Right Truck
Using the correct equipment for your vehicle’s size and weight isn’t just a formality, it affects how safely your car gets loaded, secured, and transported. Light duty tow trucks are built specifically for these vehicle classes, which means less risk of strain on your car’s frame or suspension during the tow.
Flatbed or Wheel-Lift: Which One Does Your Car Need?
Light duty towing doesn’t mean one kind of truck. We use two, and we pick the one that’s safest for your car.
- Flatbed: the whole car rides on the bed with all four wheels off the road. It’s the right choice for all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, low or lowered cars, cars after an accident, and cars that won’t roll or steer.
- Wheel-lift: the truck lifts one end of the car, usually the drive wheels, while the other end rolls. It works well for many front-wheel-drive sedans and fits into tight spots, like a parking deck in Midtown or a narrow street in Virginia-Highland.

Light Duty Towing Across Atlanta
We’re based at 1940 Monroe Dr NE, close to Piedmont Heights, Morningside and Lindbergh, so the neighborhoods around us are home turf: Midtown, Morningside, Piedmont Heights, Virginia-Highland, Ansley Park, Cheshire Bridge and Buckhead.
We also tow from the roads where Atlanta cars give up most often: the Downtown Connector (I-75/85) through Midtown and Downtown, I-85 past Lindbergh toward Buckhead, GA-400, I-285, and busy streets like Piedmont Rd, Peachtree St and Monroe Dr. If you’re on a highway shoulder, tell us which direction you’re heading and the nearest exit or mile marker.
Most tows go to a repair shop, a dealership or the driver’s home. Give us the address when you call and we’ll drop the car right there.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a light duty vehicle for towing?
Generally, sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, small to midsize SUVs, minivans, and compact pickup trucks fall under light duty towing. If you’re unsure where your vehicle fits, just describe it when you call and we’ll confirm.
Will my car be towed the same way regardless of the issue?
Not necessarily. A dead battery, flat tire, or accident might change how we approach securing your vehicle, but the towing equipment itself stays appropriate for your car’s size either way.
Is light duty towing faster than towing larger vehicles?
Often, yes. Since light duty vehicles make up most of our calls, our trucks and drivers are set up to respond and load these vehicles quickly, minimizing the time you spend waiting.
Can you tow my car to my own mechanic or dealership?
Yes. Give us the shop’s name or address when you call, and we’ll deliver your car there, anywhere in Metro Atlanta.
Do you tow all-wheel-drive cars?
Yes. All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive cars go on a flatbed, so all four wheels stay off the road. That protects the drivetrain during the tow.
