The question every driver asks

How do you tow my car without wearing it out?

The whole point of a flatbed is that your vehicle rides fully on the deck — all four wheels off the ground. We winch it aboard, secure it with soft straps and wheel nets over the tires, and load the deck level — never a wheel-lift on an AWD driveline, never a hook-and-chain on the body. It arrives exactly as it left.

How we load every vehicle
  • Loaded fully on a flatbed — all four wheels off the ground
  • Winched aboard if it won’t start, shift, or roll — no key needed
  • Soft straps and wheel nets over the tires, not the body
  • Deck loaded level; skates, dollies, and a low approach for low cars
What we never do
  • No wheel-lift dragging an AWD or 4WD driveline down the road
  • No hook-and-chain on the bodywork, subframe, or control arms
  • No scraped splitters, skirts, or exhausts on lowered cars
  • Never a turning drivetrain on an EV or all-wheel-drive car

US-45 and WIS-100 run overlapped along Lovers Lane Road / South 108th Street until they meet Forest Home Avenue (WIS-24) and Janesville Road at the historic crossroads — three signalized crossings in a row (Lovers Lane at Forest Home, at Janesville, and at Grange) where everything funnels through and volume peaks 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM. Forest Home carries steady through-traffic onward toward Greenfield and Milwaukee, and the Forest Home & Grange crossing runs uncontrolled. One set of crossroads sets the tempo.

Why so many Hales Corners vehicles ride flat

EVs are climbing fast across the metro, with Tesla Superchargers and public chargers from downtown to the far suburbs. Most electric vehicles can’t be flat-towed on their wheels, and a dead-battery EV often won’t shift to neutral — so it rides flat, winched aboard, with the drive motor protected.

Tight downtown parking structures and the ramps around the Third Ward and the lakefront are unforgiving on lowered, luxury, and exotic cars — we bring skates, dollies, and a low-angle approach so the load is clean, not a scrape.

Hales Corners winter & road conditions

Little lake moderation reaches Hales Corners, one of the more inland southwest-county suburbs, so the humid continental swing — cold and snowy at one end of the year, warm and humid at the other — lands unsoftened: winter snowfall accumulates, overnight cold runs deep, and hard freeze-thaw cycles pit the pavement and kill batteries. Winter does the damage here.

From November through March the call sheet fills with cold-weather no-starts, dead batteries, and salt-slick roads. A flatbed loads a car that won’t start, shift, or steer without dragging it a single foot. Hales Corners sees its share on US-45 (S 108th St / Lovers Lane Rd) and the surface streets alike.

  • Winter snow & ice (Nov–Mar) — full inland accumulation
  • Black ice where US-45 and WIS-100 overlap along Lovers Lane Rd / S 108th St toward the crossroads
  • Dead batteries and no-starts during January cold snaps
  • Spring flooding along the Root River Parkway near Whitnall Park
  • Fender-benders at the uncontrolled Forest Home Ave & W Grange Ave crossing; pothole-season tire damage

When you need a flatbed in Hales Corners

Every vehicle — loaded for what it is.

An AWD Subaru, a dropped coupe, and a dead-battery EV all need to ride flat, but each loads a little differently. Pick yours and we’ll show how it goes on the deck — the same call the dispatcher makes so the right gear rolls to Hales Corners ready.

Flatbed — all four wheels off the ground

AWD and 4WD ride fully on the deck.

A Subaru, a crossover, a 4WD pickup — flat-towing on the wheels or a wheel-lift can chew the transfer case or differential. We load it fully onto the flatbed so every wheel is off the ground and the drivetrain never turns.

Hales Corners flatbed towing questions

Flatbed towing in Hales Corners, WI — your questions, answered

Usually about 25 minutes — flatbeds stage on Milwaukee's South Side ~10 miles southwest, so most Hales Corners calls run 15–35 minutes to Holz Chevrolet, the Forest Home Avenue corridor, or your driveway. A live dispatcher gives you a real arrival time 24/7. Call (414) 279-5510.

A flatbed tow in Hales Corners starts at a flat $85 hook-up plus $4 per loaded mile, quoted before we roll — most local hauls land between $105 and $235. Vehicle type, distance to your drop-off and access set the exact figure, which you hear up front on the call. Call (414) 279-5510.

Whenever all four wheels need to be off the ground: AWD/4WD vehicles, lowered or luxury cars, EVs, exotics, and any non-running or crash-damaged vehicle. A wheel-lift can damage those drivetrains or undercarriages, so a flatbed is the safe call. Not sure what you've got? Tell dispatch and we'll bring the right truck. Call (414) 279-5510.

Almost always, yes. A fresh AWD SUV off Holz Chevrolet's lot, or any EV, can't be safely flat-towed on the wheels — the drivetrain or motor can be damaged — so they ride fully on the flatbed. We carry the gear to load a dead-battery EV that won't shift to neutral. Call (414) 279-5510.

Wherever you choose — Holz Chevrolet's service bays, any metro repair or body shop, a dealer, or your home. From a driveway near Boerner Botanical Gardens to the Highway 100 corridor, we confirm the destination and the flat price on the call before the truck rolls. Call (414) 279-5510.
