Pressure plate failure. Ask for a flatbed and you get a regular tow truck :fulloffuck:

I hope you took photos of the front bumper/lip before the tow. I made the same request a few years back and had a regular tow truck come as well. Went to get stuff from my car the next morning and the middle of the front lip was caved in like ___/\___

The guy actually did a great job. No extra damage. The bottom lip of my front bumper is pretty scrapped up anyways.

Need to tow my car to the shop soon. Anybody knows a towing company in Richmond that WILL sent out flatbed? Is it the same price as regular towing? Will BCAA do it?

320icar 07-20-2016 08:39 PM

Bcaa has a special request section. I've always received one when asked

knight604 07-20-2016 08:49 PM

Just tell them on the phone, you wont be paying shit if they dont bring a flat bed.

threezero 07-20-2016 08:55 PM

Thanks guys. This is my first time actually using their towing. Will they allow me to book towing in advance? When I got the membership they made it sound like its for roadside assistance ONLY...

320icar 07-20-2016 08:56 PM

Online you can schedule a tow, I'm not sure about over the phone. If you require a flat bed or special request, they cannot guarantee the wait time

IMASA 07-20-2016 09:15 PM

I used BCAA, requested a flatbed as well. I submitted it online, filled out everything, specifically requesting a flatbed and indicated that my car is too low.
When they called me to confirm my location and my car, the CSR hung up before I could confirm she was sending a flat bed.

When the tow truck driver came, he was like, "your car is too low, did you ask for a flat bed?" I said yes, and he goes, "so why the fuck did they send me?".

Hope it works out for you.

i can vouch for bcaa as well. when someone did a hit and run on my dad's old subaru it damaged the front suspension and wheel. it was a total clusterfuck at the time trying to call in because bcaa was on strike so there was no other option but to use the bcaa website/automated system, so my dad called me and told me to go on the computer and get him help. i specifically said that it was awd subaru and had suspension damage making it undriveable, and they sent a lowbed international wrecker for him. i do remember seeing ramps stored under the bed, but that might not apply to all the tow vehicles...

My car was recently towed. My friend who is a BCAA member and was with me at the time called BCAA and requested a flatbed. Flatbed came but my car was still too low even with the wooden planks. Tow truck driver said don't worry and that he has another flatbed that can go even lower. Came back about 30 min later and my car made it on.

+1 for BCAA

^ Just want to add to this, the BCAA towing manual that they have will determine if you get a flat bed or not. If you request it, it's extra cost.

Though the S2000 owner's manual says that the car requires a flatbed to tow, BCAA's manual doesn't say so and you'll have to pay the extra. Not a big amount though

IMASA 07-21-2016 11:21 AM

When I renew with BCAA next year, I'm just gonna say I have a Ferrari or something stupid low. If the tow truck driver disputes this, I'll just stick a Ferrari badge on my car for the tow.
