hey DFW guys,
I need to get my damn car from McKinney to Denton. anyone know a good towing place that wont rip me off and has good quality trailers?

Thanks!

 

just call around and ask if they have a flat bed that tilts down and has a winch to load.......best option really......

use your front toe hook and have them winch pull it on.

ask them if it gets enough angle to load a sports car with out hitting the bumper, as some are very steep angles and some are not.

yeah, thanks man. The car runs, i just cant drive it long distances. SO i will be able to get it on a flatbed, but yeah my main concern is how low my damn car is. I guess i could drive it 36 miles on 4 cylinders.. watch the cats explode....

 

^ dude dont drive it, hell dont even start it, have a tow company come out with a flat bed and roll you car back into the street and have them winch it onto the flatbed...simple enough.....use your toe hook and your golden......

if the tow company comes out and their tow truck flat bed has too much angle, send them away!!! remember, make sure they say over the phone before they come out that they can handle a low sports car.......if they show up with a crazy angle flat bed, send them away and call another tow company to bring out their flat bed hauler..

The one I had to use (after three trys) was a flat bed that the back half hindged. So the back of the bed lays flat on the ground and you drive half of the car up on that then it raises half the car up before it pulls it up the bed. WATCH your exhaust tips they will hit if it is not done right.

 

so you need to go 380 straight there??? i have a friend who has a car trailer i can ask if he will do it

 

Where are you currently?

 

i'm off 380 and lake forest, or 121 and lake forest, before eldorado.. midway between 121 and 380 on lake forest. it's about 35 miles. i have cash to help out anyone who can help me do it after fri. (i'll be outta town till then)

only about 1.5 miles from 380, need to get to North Texas Nissan in s. Denton.
you guys are awesome, any help would be great...

 

If I did not have an interview I jump over there to see if I could get you running again. Sence it was so hard for us to connect on a time on the last install I will help you with the plugs for free.

 

oh it's all good man, i got the plugs done. the problem is much firther... all the coil packs are good, i have a thread for it in the tech section... i'm getting a misfire in 2 cylinders... they're not working, and i dunno if it's injectors... i just dont see how two of them go out over night

 

Be careful with the flat bed. When my FX was towed, the guy nearly scraped the exhaust tips winching it up on the trailer. It was Jordan Towing, which Infiniti roadside sent.
