A vehicle that will not start is frustrating enough. When the vehicle is damaged, difficult to move, or unsafe to drive, choosing the wrong towing method can create even more problems.
Flatbed towing is often an excellent option when you need to move a vehicle while keeping all of its wheels off the ground. Instead of having the vehicle roll behind the tow truck, the vehicle is loaded onto a flat platform and secured for transportation. This approach can help reduce unnecessary road contact and is especially useful for certain damaged, specialty, low-clearance, and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Hero Towing’s flatbed service is designed to provide stable, secure transportation for a wide range of vehicles.
You may need flatbed towing in Martinez if:
A breakdown can happen anywhere—from your driveway to a busy road or parking area. If your vehicle suddenly loses power or develops a serious mechanical problem, do not assume you need to try driving it to the nearest repair shop.
If the vehicle cannot be safely operated, pull over or move to a safe location when possible, turn on your hazard lights, and arrange professional towing. Hero Towing can help transport the vehicle to a repair facility, dealership, residence, storage location, or another appropriate destination.
Flatbed Towing After an Accident
After a collision, even a vehicle that appears capable of moving may have hidden damage to its steering, suspension, wheels, tires, or drivetrain. Driving a damaged vehicle can create additional safety risks.
A flatbed tow can provide a way to transport the vehicle without requiring it to continue traveling under its own power. Hero Towing can assist with vehicle transportation once the scene is safe and it is appropriate to arrange towing.
Flatbed Towing for Luxury and Specialty Vehicles
Your vehicle may be more than basic transportation. If you own a luxury car, exotic vehicle, classic automobile, collector vehicle, or customized car, you may want a towing method that prioritizes careful handling.
Flatbed towing provides a stable platform and keeps the vehicle’s wheels off the road during transportation. Hero Towing’s flatbed service is designed to securely position and transport vehicles while reducing unnecessary road contact.
Flatbed Towing When Your Vehicle Is Not Drivable
Some towing situations are straightforward. Others require a vehicle to be loaded because they cannot move normally.
If your vehicle has a failed drivetrain, damaged wheel, severe tire problem, collision damage, or another issue that prevents safe driving, tell us what happened when you call. Providing accurate information about the vehicle’s condition helps our team prepare for the towing situation.
Why Call Hero Towing for Flatbed Service?
When you need a tow, you want more than a truck to show up. You want a towing team that understands the situation and treats your vehicle with care.
Hero Towing combines:
We also provide other towing and roadside solutions when a flatbed tow is not the service you ultimately need. If your vehicle has a dead battery, flat tire, lockout, or another roadside issue, our team can help determine what type of assistance is appropriate.
Contact Hero Towing today for reliable flatbed towing in Martinez, CA, or call (925) 286-7873 for 24-hour assistance.
When your vehicle needs to be transported, you want more than a tow truck that simply arrives at the scene. You want experienced professionals who understand how to handle different vehicles, use appropriate equipment, communicate clearly, and treat your vehicle with care.
Hero Towing has over 20 years of experience in the towing industry, providing 24-hour towing and roadside assistance throughout Contra Costa County and surrounding communities. Our team is equipped to help with everything from emergency breakdowns to specialty vehicle transportation, including situations where flatbed towing is the safest or most practical option.
Our approach is simple: respond quickly, explain the service clearly, handle your vehicle responsibly, and get the job done without unnecessary complications.
Every vehicle has different towing requirements. A compact sedan with a mechanical failure may need a different approach from a low-clearance sports car, an AWD SUV, a motorcycle, or a vehicle damaged in an accident.
Hero Towing’s drivers are licensed, bonded, background-checked, and trained to handle vehicles professionally. We take the time to consider the vehicle’s condition and circumstances of the tow so it can be loaded and transported appropriately.
With more than two decades in the towing industry, we understand that careful handling is just as important as getting to the scene quickly.
One of the primary advantages of flatbed towing is that the vehicle is transported on a flat platform rather than being pulled with its wheels traveling along the roadway.
This makes flatbed towing a useful option for many situations, including:
For a closer look at the service and situations where it may be appropriate, visit Hero Towing’s Flatbed Towing service page.
A vehicle breakdown can quickly become more than an inconvenience. If you are stopped in traffic, dealing with a disabled vehicle at night, or trying to get home after an unexpected mechanical failure, waiting for assistance can be stressful.
Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing service, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Our team works to respond promptly and get the towing process underway as efficiently as possible.
Hero Towing states that it typically arrives within about 30 minutes, although actual response times can vary depending on traffic, weather, location, call volume, and the circumstances of the tow.
Nobody wants unexpected costs added to an already stressful towing situation. Hero Towing focuses on competitive flat-rate pricing and transparent communication.
Before service, we aim to provide clear information about the expected towing cost based on factors such as the vehicle, pickup location, destination, and circumstances of the tow.
We believe you should understand the service you are receiving and what you can expect before the vehicle is transported.
A breakdown does not wait for a convenient time. Your vehicle can stop running before work, after dinner, late at night, or during a weekend trip.
That is why Hero Towing provides towing and roadside assistance around the clock. Our service area includes Martinez along with communities throughout the surrounding Contra Costa County area.
Whether you need a flatbed tow after a serious mechanical failure or another roadside solution for a simpler problem, our team can help determine the appropriate service.
Getting your vehicle onto the truck is only part of the job. Proper positioning and securement are important throughout transportation.
Our goal is to handle your vehicle carefully from the time we arrive until it reaches its destination. This is particularly important when transporting vehicles that are damaged, low to the ground, high-value, non-running, or otherwise require additional care.
If you have concerns about how your particular vehicle should be transported, tell our team when you call. Details about the vehicle’s condition can help us prepare for the job.
Hero Towing provides a range of towing and roadside services, so you do not necessarily need to know exactly what service you need before calling.
Depending on the situation, our team can assist with:
For example, if your vehicle simply has a dead battery, a jump start service may get you back on the road without requiring a tow. If the battery itself needs replacement, Hero Towing also provides car battery replacement.
This full-service approach means you can call Hero Towing, explain what happened, and let our team help determine the most appropriate solution.
Martinez drivers use a mix of local streets, residential roads, commercial corridors, and major regional routes. A vehicle problem can happen while commuting, running errands, visiting the waterfront, or traveling through the area.
Hero Towing serves Martinez as part of its broader Contra Costa County coverage, giving local drivers access to towing and roadside assistance when unexpected problems occur.
Whether your vehicle is parked at home, disabled on the roadside, or needs to be transported to another location, our team is ready to discuss your towing needs.
We know that calling a towing company usually means something has not gone according to plan. Our job is to make the next step easier.
From the initial phone call to vehicle loading and transportation, Hero Towing focuses on:
You do not need to make a difficult situation more complicated by trying to drive a vehicle that may not be safe to operate.
Flatbed towing is a versatile vehicle transportation solution for situations where a car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, or specialty vehicle should not be driven or towed with its wheels on the roadway. By loading the vehicle onto a flat platform, the entire vehicle can be transported together, making this towing method particularly useful for disabled, damaged, low-clearance, and specialty vehicles.
Hero Towing provides 24-hour flatbed towing in Martinez, CA, with service designed around safe vehicle handling, prompt response times, and dependable transportation. Whether your vehicle has stopped running in your driveway, suffered damage in an accident, or needs to be transported to a repair facility, our team can help determine the appropriate towing solution.
Vehicle problems rarely happen at a convenient time. A car may stop running during a commute, after work, late at night, or while you are traveling through Martinez.
Hero Towing provides 24/7 emergency towing, so you can request assistance when your vehicle cannot safely continue. If the vehicle is non-operational or has a condition that makes driving unsafe, flatbed towing can provide a practical way to move it from the current location.
When you call, provide your location, vehicle type, and a brief description of what happened. This helps our team understand the situation and prepare for the appropriate towing service.
After an accident, a vehicle may have damage that is not immediately obvious. Problems with the wheels, tires, suspension, steering, drivetrain, or undercarriage can make driving unsafe even if the vehicle appears capable of moving.
Flatbed towing can help transport a collision-damaged vehicle without requiring it to continue traveling under its own power. Our team can carefully load and secure the vehicle for transportation once it is safe and appropriate to arrange towing.
If anyone is injured or there is an immediate safety emergency, contact emergency services first. Once the scene is safe, Hero Towing can assist with the vehicle’s towing needs.
A vehicle does not have to be involved in an accident to require a flatbed tow. Mechanical and electrical failures can leave a vehicle completely unable to move.
Common examples include:
If a roadside solution cannot get the vehicle running safely, our team can transport it to a repair shop, dealership, residence, storage facility, or another destination.
Luxury and specialty vehicles deserve careful consideration when they need to be transported. Low ground clearance, specialized components, unique bodywork, and higher vehicle values can all make towing more complicated.
Flatbed transportation keeps the vehicle’s wheels off the road and provides a stable platform for transportation. This makes it a useful option for many luxury, exotic, classic, collector, and specialty vehicles.
When requesting service, tell our team about any special characteristics of your vehicle. Details such as low clearance, modified suspension, unusual bodywork, or other considerations can help us prepare appropriately.
Low-profile sports cars and modified vehicles may have very little space between the vehicle’s underside and the roadway.
Trying to tow a low-clearance vehicle with equipment that is not appropriate for its configuration can create unnecessary risks. A flatbed provides a level platform and can be an appropriate option for transporting many low-clearance vehicles.
If your vehicle sits particularly low, mention this when you call Hero Towing. Providing that information ahead of time allows our team to consider the vehicle’s clearance and loading requirements.
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles can have specific towing requirements. Depending on the vehicle’s design and the manufacturer’s recommendations, keeping all wheels off the ground may be preferable to certain conventional towing methods.
Flatbed towing provides a straightforward way to transport the entire vehicle without relying on the vehicle’s wheels to roll along the road.
If you drive an AWD or 4WD vehicle, let us know the make, model, and condition when arranging service. This information can help our team determine the appropriate towing approach.
A damaged tire may sometimes be resolved with roadside assistance. However, more serious wheel, suspension, or undercarriage problems may make driving unsafe.
If your vehicle has suffered substantial damage to a wheel or suspension component, do not attempt to drive it simply because the engine still runs. Continuing to drive with significant damage can create additional safety concerns.
Hero Towing can assess the towing situation and provide transportation when a flatbed tow is appropriate.
Motorcycles require different handling than standard passenger vehicles. Proper positioning and secure tie-downs are important for keeping a motorcycle stable during transportation.
If your motorcycle has broken down, been involved in an accident, or needs to be transported to another location, tell our team that you are requesting motorcycle towing when you call.
Flatbed towing is not limited to short trips across Martinez. It can also be useful when a vehicle needs to travel to another city or a more distant destination.
Long-distance transportation may be needed when:
Before arranging a longer trip, provide the pickup location, destination, vehicle type, and condition. Our team can discuss the transportation requirements and available options.
When your vehicle cannot be safely driven to a mechanic, towing it directly to a repair facility can be the simplest solution.
Hero Towing can transport your vehicle based on your selected destination. Whether the vehicle needs to go to a repair shop, dealership, or another appropriate facility, our team can help coordinate the tow.
You do not necessarily need to diagnose the mechanical problem yourself. Simply explain what happened and provide as much information as possible about the vehicle’s current condition.
Sometimes the best destination is your own driveway.
You may prefer to take the vehicle home before deciding where to have it repaired, or your regular mechanic may not be open when the breakdown occurs. In these situations, flatbed towing can provide a way to move the vehicle somewhere safe without attempting to drive it.
Hero Towing can discuss your preferred destination when you arrange service.
Not every flatbed tow is an emergency. Flatbed transportation can also be useful when you need to move a vehicle that is not currently being driven.
For example, you may need to transport a specialty car, move a non-running vehicle, relocate a project vehicle, or arrange transportation over a longer distance.
Tell us about your transportation needs when you call so we can discuss the appropriate service.
Traditional towing methods may involve some of the vehicle’s wheels remaining on the ground. With flatbed towing, the vehicle is loaded onto a level platform and transported with the entire vehicle elevated.
This can offer several practical advantages:
The right towing method depends on the vehicle and circumstances. If you are unsure whether flatbed towing is appropriate, explain the situation to Hero Towing, and our team can help determine the next step.
A flatbed tow is not always necessary. Hero Towing offers a complete range of towing and roadside assistance services, allowing our team to help with different types of roadside problems.
In addition to Flatbed Towing, our services include:
This means you can call Hero Towing even if you are not sure which roadside service you need. Explain what happened, where you are, and what type of vehicle you have, and our team can help identify the appropriate solution.
From downtown Martinez and the waterfront to residential neighborhoods and major transportation routes, Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing assistance for drivers who need dependable vehicle transportation.
Martinez is positioned near the intersection of Highway 4 and Interstate 680, while the city’s waterfront and marina provide additional destinations where residents and visitors may experience vehicle problems.
The city’s transportation network also provides access to destinations such as the Martinez Amtrak Station and the John Muir National Historic Site, which is located on Alhambra Avenue and accessible from Highway 4 and Interstate 680.
Wherever your vehicle becomes disabled in the Martinez area, getting professional assistance is safer than attempting to drive a vehicle that may be damaged or mechanically unsafe.
When a vehicle breaks down, location matters. A disabled car in a residential driveway is different from a vehicle that stops running near a busy roadway, downtown destination, or waterfront area. Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing assistance throughout Martinez, CA, helping drivers arrange safe vehicle transportation wherever they are within our service area.
Martinez includes a mix of established residential neighborhoods, historic downtown streets, waterfront destinations, commercial areas, and major transportation routes. The City of Martinez identifies destinations including Downtown Main Street, Martinez Marina, the East Bay Regional Shoreline, Hidden Lakes Park, the Amtrak Station, and the John Muir Historic Site as notable attractions in the community.
Whether you need emergency towing at home or flatbed towing in Martinez after a breakdown or accident, Hero Towing is ready to help.
For vehicles that cannot be safely driven, flatbed towing can provide a secure transportation option. Whether you are stranded at home, dealing with a breakdown near the waterfront, or unable to safely drive after an accident.
Vehicle problems do not always happen when it is convenient to deal with them. A car may stop running on the way to work, a collision may leave you unable to drive home, or a mechanical problem may make an otherwise functional vehicle unsafe to operate.
Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing assistance in Martinez, CA, for drivers who need dependable vehicle transportation. Our team can help evaluate the situation and determine whether flatbed towing is an appropriate option for your vehicle.
Flatbed towing is particularly useful when the entire vehicle needs to be transported on a level platform rather than having its wheels remain on the roadway. Hero Towing also provides other towing and roadside assistance services when a flatbed tow is not necessary.
One of the most common reasons drivers need a tow is simply that their vehicle will not start. The problem could be a dead battery, failed starter, electrical issue, fuel problem, or more serious mechanical failure. If a simple roadside solution cannot get the vehicle running safely, towing may be the next step.
Hero Towing can help determine whether you need a tow or another roadside service. For example, a battery-related problem may be resolved with our Jump Start Service or Car Battery Replacement service.
If the vehicle cannot be safely driven after the problem is identified, a flatbed tow can transport it to a repair facility, dealership, home, or another destination.
A collision can leave a vehicle with damage to its tires, wheels, suspension, steering, drivetrain, body, or undercarriage. Even when the engine still starts, that does not necessarily mean the vehicle is safe to drive.
Trying to drive a seriously damaged vehicle can create additional safety risks or worsen existing damage.
Once the accident scene is safe and it is appropriate to arrange vehicle transportation, Hero Towing can assist with towing. A flatbed can be a practical choice when the vehicle should be transported without relying on its wheels to travel along the roadway.
If anyone is injured or there is an immediate danger, contact emergency services first. Vehicle towing should come after immediate safety concerns have been addressed.
Some vehicles require extra consideration during transportation. Luxury cars, exotic vehicles, classic automobiles, collector cars, and customized vehicles may have specialized components or low ground clearance that make conventional towing less suitable.
A flatbed allows the entire vehicle to be loaded onto a level platform and transported with its wheels off the ground.
If you have a specialty vehicle, tell our team when you call. Providing information about the vehicle’s make, model, clearance, condition, and any modifications can help us prepare for the towing situation.
Low-clearance vehicles can present unique towing challenges. Sports cars and modified vehicles may have very little space between the undercarriage and the roadway.
A towing method that does not account for that clearance can potentially create unnecessary contact with the vehicle’s underside.
Flatbed towing provides a level platform for loading and transportation, making it a useful option for many low-profile vehicles.
When you call Hero Towing, let us know if your vehicle has unusually low ground clearance. That information is important when discussing how the vehicle should be transported.
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles may have specific towing requirements depending on their design and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Because flatbed towing transports the vehicle with all four wheels off the roadway, it can be an appropriate solution for many AWD and 4WD vehicles.
If you are unsure about the best towing method for your vehicle, provide the make and model when you call. Our team can discuss the circumstances and determine the appropriate towing approach.
A minor flat tire may be resolved with roadside assistance, but significant tire, wheel, axle, or suspension damage may make driving unsafe.
For example, if a collision has damaged a wheel or suspension component, continuing to drive could create additional problems. A flatbed tow can provide a way to transport the vehicle without requiring the damaged components to support normal road travel.
Hero Towing can help with the towing process and transport the vehicle to the destination you specify.
A major mechanical failure can happen without warning. Transmission problems, engine issues, overheating, drivetrain failures, and other serious problems may leave your vehicle unable to continue.
If your vehicle is experiencing a major mechanical issue, do not continue driving simply to reach a repair shop if doing so could be unsafe or cause further damage.
Instead, move to a safe location if possible and arrange professional towing. Hero Towing can transport the vehicle to a repair facility, dealership, residence, or another destination.
You may discover that your vehicle will not start in:
Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing assistance throughout Martinez. When you call, provide your exact location and explain the vehicle’s condition so our team can understand the circumstances before dispatch.
A vehicle breakdown after dark can feel particularly stressful, especially if you are near active traffic or in an unfamiliar area.
Your first priority should be finding the safest available location. Turn on your hazard lights, remain aware of surrounding traffic, and avoid attempting repairs in an unsafe position.
Once you are in a safe place, contact Hero Towing for 24-hour towing assistance. Our team can help determine whether you need a flatbed tow or another roadside service.
Flatbed towing is not only for emergencies. It can also be useful when a vehicle needs to be transported over a longer distance.
You may need long-distance flatbed towing if:
Hero Towing offers long-distance towing options, and our website lists Martinez among the local communities we serve as well as a broader range of long-distance destinations.
When arranging a longer-distance tow, provide the pickup location, destination, vehicle type, and vehicle condition so the transportation requirements can be discussed in advance.
Motorcycles require specialized handling and securement. A motorcycle that has broken down, been damaged, or needs to be transported over a longer distance should be handled with appropriate equipment and care.
Hero Towing provides Motorcycle Towing for emergency breakdowns, motorcycle recovery, and longer-distance transportation.
When requesting motorcycle service, tell the team that you are transporting a motorcycle so the appropriate towing arrangements can be considered.
A breakdown does not always happen near your preferred mechanic.
You may be closer to Martinez when your vehicle fails, while your regular repair facility is located in another community. If the vehicle cannot safely be driven, towing can eliminate the need to risk driving it to the shop.
Hero Towing can transport your vehicle to a repair facility or other destination based on your towing needs.
If you know where you want the vehicle delivered, provide that information when you contact us.
Sometimes you do not want the vehicle taken directly to a repair shop.
You may need to get the vehicle home first, wait until your regular mechanic is available, or decide what repairs are needed before choosing a shop.
Flatbed towing can provide a convenient way to transport a non-running or damaged vehicle to your home without requiring you to drive it.
Hero Towing provides several roadside assistance services that may help you avoid a tow when the issue is relatively simple.
Depending on the situation, these can include:
If the problem cannot be resolved safely at the roadside, our team can help determine whether towing is the appropriate next step.
You do not have to diagnose your vehicle before calling.
If you know something is wrong but are unsure whether you need a flatbed, roadside assistance, motorcycle towing, or another service, explain what happened.
Tell us:
This information gives our team a better understanding of your situation and helps us determine the appropriate service.
When a vehicle is disabled, delaying professional assistance can sometimes make the situation more difficult. A vehicle stopped near traffic can create safety concerns, while attempting to drive a damaged vehicle may result in additional damage.
If your vehicle cannot be safely driven, prioritize your safety and arrange professional towing as soon as practical.
Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing service in Martinez, with a focus on quick response times, careful vehicle handling, and straightforward communication.

Over the years, Hero Towing has developed experience handling a wide range of situations, from routine breakdowns and roadside problems to accident recovery, specialty vehicle transportation, and long-distance towing.
That experience is especially valuable when a vehicle requires flatbed towing. Flatbed transportation may be appropriate for vehicles that cannot safely roll, have significant damage, sit close to the ground, or require additional care during transportation.
A disabled vehicle can disrupt your entire day. You may be trying to get to work, pick up your family, make an appointment, or simply get home safely.
Our goal is to make the towing process as straightforward as possible.
When you contact Hero Towing, we focus on understanding:
If the vehicle needs to be transported on a flatbed, we can arrange the appropriate service. If a simpler roadside solution can resolve the problem, we can discuss that option as well.

If you have a vehicle with special towing requirements, tell us when you call. Details about the vehicle’s size, condition, clearance, drivetrain, or damage can help our team prepare for the service.
Your vehicle is important, whether it is your daily transportation, work vehicle, family SUV, motorcycle, classic car, or specialty vehicle.
Hero Towing’s drivers are licensed, bonded, background-checked, and trained to handle vehicles professionally. We take precautions when loading and securing vehicles and work to transport them safely to their destination.
Flatbed towing can be particularly useful when a vehicle needs to remain completely off the roadway during transportation.
Our Flatbed Towing service is designed for situations where secure vehicle transportation is a priority.
Towing costs can be an unexpected expense, which is why clear communication matters.
Hero Towing offers competitive flat-rate pricing and focuses on straightforward communication about the expected cost of service. We do not want customers to feel surprised by unexplained charges.
The final cost of a tow can depend on factors such as the vehicle, pickup location, destination, towing requirements, and circumstances of the service. Our goal is to provide clear information before the tow whenever possible.
A disabled vehicle can leave you feeling stuck, particularly if you are dealing with heavy traffic or an unfamiliar location.
Hero Towing focuses on prompt response times and efficient service. Our website notes that the team typically arrives within about 30 minutes, although actual arrival times can vary based on traffic, weather, location, call volume, and other circumstances.
Rather than leaving you wondering what to do next, our team works to get the towing process moving as quickly as practical.
Sometimes a vehicle problem does not require a tow.
A dead battery may only require a jump start. A failed battery may need replacement. A locked vehicle may require lockout assistance.
Hero Towing provides a range of roadside assistance services designed to address common vehicle problems.
Our services include:
This means you can call us even if you are not completely sure which service you need.
Our job does not end with getting the vehicle onto the truck. We want the entire towing experience to be as organized and stress-free as possible.
Depending on your situation, we can transport the vehicle to:
There are times when attempting to drive a vehicle is simply not worth the risk.
A damaged wheel, serious suspension problem, major mechanical failure, accident damage, or low-clearance vehicle may require professional transportation.
When that happens, Hero Towing can help you determine whether flatbed towing is the appropriate option. Our team can discuss the vehicle’s condition, pickup location, and destination before arranging service.
A vehicle breakdown can happen without warning. Whether your car stops running on a Martinez street, you experience a mechanical problem near a busy roadway, or your vehicle becomes disabled after an accident, your first priority should always be your safety.
If your vehicle cannot be safely driven, do not take unnecessary risks trying to get it to a repair shop. Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing and roadside assistance in Martinez, CA, including flatbed towing for vehicles that require secure transportation.
If your vehicle is still capable of moving and you can do so safely, move it away from active traffic. A safe shoulder, parking area, or other location away from moving vehicles is generally preferable to remaining in a travel lane.
If you are already stopped in a dangerous position, do not attempt a maneuver that could put you or others at greater risk.
For freeway breakdowns, the California DMV advises drivers to safely pull to the right shoulder when possible and take precautions to stay away from moving traffic.
Once your vehicle is stopped, use your hazard lights when appropriate to make the vehicle more visible to approaching drivers.
This can be particularly helpful at night, during poor visibility, or when your vehicle is stopped near active traffic.
Your goal is not to diagnose or repair the vehicle immediately. Your first goal is to make the situation as safe as possible while you arrange assistance.
A disabled vehicle can create a dangerous roadside situation, especially on a busy road or freeway.
Avoid standing in or near traffic lanes. Do not attempt repairs in a location where passing vehicles could put you at risk.
If you are on a freeway and have safely pulled onto the shoulder, California DMV guidance recommends staying inside the vehicle with your seat belt on while waiting for help in circumstances where remaining inside is safer. If there is not enough shoulder space or another safe area away from traffic is available, conditions may call for a different approach.
Use your judgment based on your exact surroundings and prioritize getting yourself and your passengers away from immediate danger.
Avoid driving if your vehicle has significant:
Trying to drive a seriously damaged vehicle can create additional safety concerns and may make the vehicle more difficult to transport later.
When the vehicle cannot be safely driven, professional towing is usually the better option.
Not every vehicle problem requires a tow.
A dead battery, for example, may only require a jump start. Hero Towing provides Jump Start Service for drivers whose vehicles have lost battery power.
If the battery itself needs to be replaced, car battery replacement may be another option.
Other situations may require roadside assistance rather than immediate flatbed transportation.
If the vehicle cannot be safely driven or the problem cannot be resolved at the roadside, a tow may be necessary.
Once you are in a reasonably safe location, contact Hero Towing at (925) 286-7873.
You can also contact us online to arrange towing assistance.
When you call, be ready to provide:
The more information you can provide, the easier it is for the towing team to understand what you need.
If your vehicle has special towing requirements, mention them when you call.
This can include:
A flatbed tow transports the vehicle on a platform with its wheels off the roadway. This can be particularly useful for many non-running, damaged, low-clearance, specialty, and long-distance towing situations.
Before the tow begins, determine where you want the vehicle transported.
Depending on the circumstances, your destination could be:
If you are not sure where to take the vehicle, explain your situation to the towing team and discuss your available options.
Hero Towing also offers vehicle storage services when temporary storage is needed.
If possible, have your registration, insurance information, and vehicle details available when arranging towing.
You may also want to have your vehicle’s exact location ready, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area.
If you are on a major road, provide recognizable landmarks, nearby exits, cross streets, or other location information that can help the towing team find you.
A vehicle breakdown can make you feel like you need to solve the problem immediately. But if the vehicle is damaged or unsafe to drive, attempting to get it home or to a repair shop yourself may not be worth the risk.
Move to a safe location when possible, keep yourself away from active traffic, and arrange professional assistance.
Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing service in Martinez with fast response times, competitive flat-rate pricing, and professional vehicle handling.
When you need a tow, you may have questions about the towing process, the type of equipment required, and where your vehicle can be taken. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about flatbed towing in Martinez, CA.
Flatbed towing uses a specialized tow truck with a level platform. Instead of leaving the vehicle’s wheels on the road during transportation, the vehicle is loaded onto the flatbed and secured for the trip.
This can be a practical towing method for vehicles that cannot safely be driven, have significant damage, have low ground clearance, or require additional care during transportation.
Yes. Hero Towing provides towing assistance to drivers in Martinez and surrounding areas. If you need a flatbed tow, call (925) 286-7873 and provide your location, vehicle type, condition, and destination. This information helps our team understand your situation and determine the appropriate towing service.
Flatbed towing may be appropriate when your vehicle should not be driven or when keeping all four wheels off the roadway is preferable.
Common situations include:
If you are unsure which towing method you need, explain the problem when you call. Hero Towing can help determine what type of assistance may be appropriate.
Flatbed towing can be an excellent option for many luxury, exotic, classic, and specialty vehicles because the vehicle is transported on a platform rather than having its wheels remain on the roadway. This can also be useful for vehicles with low ground clearance or specialized drivetrains.
Every vehicle is different. When requesting a tow, tell Hero Towing about your vehicle’s make, model, clearance, modifications, and condition so the towing requirements can be properly considered.
Yes. A vehicle that will not start can often be transported by flatbed when a roadside solution cannot get it running.
First, Hero Towing can help determine whether the problem may be something that can be addressed at the roadside. For example, a dead battery may require a jump start or battery replacement rather than a tow.
Yes. Hero Towing provides 24-hour towing service, including emergency towing assistance. Vehicle problems can happen early in the morning, late at night, on weekends, or during holidays. Our goal is to provide dependable assistance whenever you need it.
