    A friend got in an accident and drives a lowered Boxster. Does anyone know who can tow a lowered car?

    Thanks

    Just let the towing company know and they'll send a flatbed. Shouldn't be too hard.

    LeMetry's collision said they couldn't tow it with their flatbed. I suppose the angle was too steep.

    Have them bring along a lengthy pair of 2X12's...or two.

    For how much every towing company blatantly rips you off you'd think they'd just jump all over it.

    For future reference, I keep a Kim's Towing card in my wallet. They have a specialty flatbed and trained ninjas to operate it. It has a pivot point built in so it can provide a graduated ramp. Just tell them you need the specialty rig for a lowered car and be prepared to pay a little extra for it:
