    So my STi has electrical but the engine doesn't turn over... Time to take it to NF and have Nuke & Roger & the gang get me up and running again. Any recommendations on a tow? I don't have towing on my insurance so this will be out of pocket. Do I need to have it towed by flatbed since it's AWD?

    Thanks

    Yes, all 4 wheels need to be off the ground when you tow it.

    Someone here might be able to help you with a tow...otherwise I'm not sure which towing companies have the best rates in town. Perhaps someone in the NF crew will make a house call lol.

    Good luck and I hope you get the issue figured out!

    Yup, you'll trash your center diff on a 2 wheel tow. You may also run into problems if you're lowered.

    I recommend Kim's Towing & Transport. They've treated me very well a few times and they have a specialty articulating flatbed if you need it due to be too low for normal flatbeds (costs extra). Pretty good guys in my experience. Numbers on their business card are:
    952-496-2057 & 612-987-7544

    +1 on Kim's. Had to use them once for my previous car when I had it. Got it on there like a boss with no scraping whatsoever for a lower car.

    Very nice, thanks for the recommendations all. Going to try to skip the tow for now and see if we can get someone out to my place to make a diagnosis.
