A flatbed lifts your entire vehicle off the ground — no drivetrain contact, no bumper drag, no risk to the underside. It's the right choice for luxury cars, low-clearance sports cars, AWD/4WD vehicles, exotics, motorcycles, and any car that has to travel more than a few miles. For dealerships, body shops, and vehicle enthusiasts across Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond, our flatbed service is the transport method that gets used most often.

Most cars can technically be towed on a wheel-lift, but there are situations where flatbed is the only safe choice. AWD and 4WD vehicles (Subaru, Audi, most modern SUVs) can suffer real drivetrain damage if towed with two wheels on the ground. Low-clearance vehicles (Porsche, Corvette, lowered daily drivers) can lose front bumpers, splitters, or oil pans on ramp-loading. Modern EVs and hybrids sometimes require flatbed as a manufacturer recommendation because of the drive motor placement.

Our flatbed service covers everything from short local moves (Bellevue dealer to a Bellevue shop) to longer transports (Kirkland to Seattle or Everett). We use four-point strap tie-downs at the vehicle's designated tow points, protective wheel straps that don't touch the paint, and winch-loading for non-running vehicles. Motorcycle transport uses a dedicated wheel chock plus soft straps — no risk to the frame, forks, or fairings.

Because Bellevue is home to a lot of luxury dealerships (Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Bentley) and Kirkland has the Google/Kirkland Urban corridor, a large share of our flatbed jobs are commercial: dealer-to-dealer transfers, auction pickups, shop drop-offs, and buyer deliveries. We also do plenty of enthusiast work — track-day cars to the ferry, project cars to a mechanic, RVs to storage.

Why call BM Towing for this

• Four-point strap tie-downs at manufacturer-designated tow points — the paint stays perfect.
• Motorcycle chocks and soft straps for two-wheeled transports.
• Winch loading for non-running or keyless vehicles.
