Bought a Car Out of Town? Get It Home with Long Distance Towing

What Is Long Distance Car Towing
You bought the car. The deal is done. But now the vehicle is sitting miles away from your driveway. So how are you getting it home?
Long distance car towing is the solution. It allows you to transport a vehicle across counties or even states without driving it. That means no tire wear no fuel cost and no risk of mechanical failure during the ride. Your car arrives safe and clean right where you want it.
Why You May Need It After Buying a Car
A good deal on a car is hard to pass up. Sometimes that deal is found in another city. Sometimes even further.
Maybe it is a used car you found online. Maybe it is a specialty model or a collector car from a private seller. Either way, you want it moved without adding miles or stress.
Long distance towing makes it possible to avoid road hazards and skip long hours behind the wheel. Plus, some new vehicles are not insured for the road right away. Others may need inspection before they are road ready.
Mistakes People Make When They Tow a Car Home
Not every car buyer thinks ahead when it comes to transport. Here are a few common errors that lead to damage, stress, or both.
- Trying to tow with a friend’s truck
- Booking a company without reading reviews
- Forgetting to check tire pressure or fluid leaks
- Skipping proper insurance coverage during towing
- Trusting the lowest quote without checking what’s included
A new car is exciting. But rushing the towing can ruin that excitement fast.
How Long Distance Towing Works Step by Step
At Jake’s Towing and Recovery, the process is simple and clear.
- First we take the pickup and drop address from you.
- Then we ask about the car type so we can send the right tow equipment.
- Next we dispatch the crew to the pickup site.
- The vehicle is loaded with proper securing methods.
- It travels safely and is dropped at your home or chosen location.
You can even arrange the whole thing without needing to meet us in person. That is time saved and hassle skipped.
Is It Safe for Classic or Heavy Vehicles
Yes. And here is why.
Some vehicles need special care during transport. This includes classic cars, sports models, or those with low ground clearance. For those, we use soft straps, padding, and ramps that protect the body.
For larger vehicles, we offer heavy duty towing, which uses more powerful rigs that can carry the weight without stress on the frame. Your vehicle does not bounce, scrape, or suffer during the trip. It arrives in the shape it left.
Real Costs and What You Might Pay
There is no one price for towing across long distances. What you pay depends on several factors.
- Distance from pickup to drop
- Size and weight of the vehicle
- Condition of the vehicle
- Location access and road conditions
- Time of day you need the service
Jake’s Towing and Recovery offers clear upfront pricing so you never deal with surprise fees. The rate covers everything from pickup to delivery.
Heavy Duty Towing and Why It Matters
Say your new vehicle is not a car at all. Maybe it is a lifted truck or a large van. Maybe it is a construction truck or a transport vehicle.
Heavy duty towing handles those. These tows need stronger beds longer wheelbases and higher weight limits. Our trucks are built for it. And our team knows the best way to load and haul big vehicles without damage.
Heavy duty towing is not just about strength. It is also about knowing how to move large loads safely and smoothly.
Five Smart Tips Before You Book
- Share the exact location with access instructions
- Let us know if the vehicle has special parts like ground effects or spoilers
- Remove loose gear or personal items from inside the car
- Check the tires so the car can roll smoothly onto the bed
- Confirm with the seller that the car will be ready and keys are available
These simple steps keep everything on schedule and reduce risk.
