I purchased the Plus Plan but I still didn't see where a flatbed service was a specified tow type for any plan. Does the Plus Plan cover a flatbed?

I think it does but you may want to check.

Also if you do load on a flatbed, don't let them tow it by the middle of the front axle-it will bend it. Also don't tow it that way if you give it a tow. Wrap tow line around front spring shackles. May others on the Barn know more about this than I do-have not had to do a tow yet but this is what I hear about the subject

AAA closed on weekends....................

That was something I didn't know and I doubt if all tow truck drivers know that either.

Thanks

Good point Fred. I'm pretty sure SOMEBODY (not saying it was AAA) at some time before I bought my TS wrapped a towing strap around the middle of my front axle. Unfortunately they wrapped it around the tie rod also. Toe OUT anybody??
