The question every rider asks
A motorcycle has nothing to lean on but the tie-down. We load yours on a flatbed, lock the front wheel in a wheel chock, and run soft straps around the bars or frame — never over plastics, levers, or with a hook-and-chain. The bike rides upright and arrives exactly as it left.
Is this you right now?
Find your situation below and call — we run these every week across the metro, and the right chock and straps are matched before we roll.
Won’t start, electrical gremlin, or a flat on I-94 or a surface street. We get you and the bike off the road fast.
Down in a corner or a parking lot. We load it on the flatbed without adding a single scratch to what’s already done.
Project bike, seized engine, dead battery, or a lost key. We winch or ramp it on — it doesn’t need to run.
Dealership or private-sale pickup. We bring it home loaded and secured the same careful way — chock and soft straps.
Open transport between cities, dealers, or the track. Tell us the pickup and drop-off and you get a price up front.
Wider and heavier with two wheels on one end — we load and secure three-wheelers differently, but they ride flat safe.
What we tow
A sportbike and a trike have different worries. Pick yours and we’ll show how we load and secure it — the same call the dispatcher makes so the right chock and straps arrive ready.
Fairings and rear-sets leave little to grab, so we chock the front wheel and run soft straps to the triple-tree and frame — never over bodywork, levers, or controls. It rides upright and arrives unmarked.
Send the right gear — call nowWhat it costs
Motorcycle towing starts at a $125 flat hook-up — any time of day, soft straps and wheel chock included — plus $4 per loaded mile; heavy custom bikes from $140. Your final quote comes from the same pricing engine our dispatchers use — bike type first, then the measured route, condition add-ons, and time of day. The calculator up this page shows your exact price in about 60 seconds, before we load.
Straight from the live pricing engine — priced by your actual bike and route. No estimate ranges, and never a different number at drop-off.
See my price nowCruiser, sport, touring, trike, or dirt — tie-down geometry and equipment differ by type, so the quote leads with it. Trikes, ATVs, and heavy customs are priced as their own class, with flatbed handling standard — no improvised loading.
A hook-up fee plus the measured miles of your actual route, pickup to drop-off. A short hop to your shop is the low end; a cross-county haul costs more — the calculator measures the real route, not a guess.
A bike that won’t roll, has locked steering, or went down off the road needs a winch or ramp and more time on scene — locked steering is handled with proper equipment, never dragged. Condition add-ons are priced in the quote, up front.
Day, evening, and overnight rates differ — we run 24/7, and the quote applies the right one automatically, always before we load.
