All wheels off the road
Your vehicle travels on the truck deck rather than rolling behind it. The correct method still depends on the vehicle and its condition.

Need a Flatbed Tow Truck Right Now?
Give us your pickup location, vehicle year and model, and destination. Tell us if the wheels are locked, the vehicle is damaged, or access is tight so we can confirm the right loading plan.
Nova Towing and Recovery
What Is Flatbed Towing?
A flatbed tow truck carries the entire vehicle on its deck, keeping all four wheels off the road during transport. It is often the appropriate choice when the manufacturer requires full vehicle transport or a breakdown makes wheel-on-road towing unsuitable.
Planned loading
Ground clearance, steering, wheel movement and access are assessed before loading begins.
Pickup to destination
Arrange transport to a mechanic, dealership, body shop, home or another agreed delivery point.
Nova Towing and Recovery
The Nova Difference Starts Before the Truck Arrives
A flatbed tow is more than the trip. Useful questions, clear expectations and a loading plan suited to your vehicle make the whole move easier.
A plan for your actual vehicle
A no-start sedan, a low-clearance coupe and an EV with locked wheels need different preparation. We ask the details that matter before arranging pickup.
The quote comes before the tow
Share the pickup, destination and loading conditions. We explain the job being quoted so you can decide before dispatch.
An arrival estimate you can use
Traffic, weather and other jobs affect timing. Call for the current estimate rather than relying on a fixed promise.
Your destination stays your choice
Tell us which mechanic, dealership or other suitable location should receive the vehicle. We plan the move around the agreed destination.
Access gets attention early
Tight driveways, low parkades, steep ramps and locked wheels belong in the first conversation. They help us assess the loading arrangement.
Urgent help or a planned move
A breakdown needs a different conversation from a scheduled project-car delivery. We help confirm the next practical step for your situation.
Nova Towing and Recovery
Flatbed Transport for the Vehicle You Drive
Tell us the exact model, modifications and condition. Vehicle size, weight and loading requirements determine whether our truck can carry it.
Cars & crossovers
Breakdown transport for many passenger cars and crossovers, including vehicles that cannot safely be driven.
AWD & 4WD vehicles
Full vehicle transport can avoid wheels turning on the road. We confirm the towing requirements for your specific model.
Tesla & electric vehicles
EV transport needs a vehicle-specific loading plan. Tell us about power loss, tow mode, locked wheels or collision damage.
Low-clearance & luxury cars
Share the ride height, body kit and any suspension changes before booking so loading clearance can be assessed.
Classic & project vehicles
Book a planned move for a stored car, restoration project or vehicle being delivered to a specialist shop.
Non-running vehicles
No-start cars may still roll freely. Locked wheels, missing keys or drivetrain damage can require additional equipment.

When a Flatbed Tow Makes Sense
A flatbed is useful when driving the vehicle could make the problem worse, or when its transport instructions call for all wheels to stay off the ground.
Breakdown on the road
Engine trouble, overheating or a drivetrain issue can leave a vehicle undriveable. Describe what happened when you call.
Transport after a collision
Tell dispatch about wheel, suspension or body damage. Recovery and loading requirements are assessed separately from the transport distance.
Driveway to repair shop
Arrange pickup from your home, workplace or an accessible parking lot and delivery to your chosen shop.
Scheduled vehicle delivery
Plan a local or longer-distance move with confirmed access, a receiving contact and an agreed pickup window.
