Towing 2002 S600

Any thoughts?




I have a 2002 S600 that the left rear is sitting real low. The suspension dropped. I want to move the car to a friends shop. So I can replace the leaking line. Now for my question




What would be the best way to tow the car? I am thinking on a flat bed tow truck pulling it on a flat bed the bottom of the car would scrape and do damage. I think picking up the rear of the car and having the car towed that would be my best option.

Depends on how far you need to move the car. For a short distance lifting the low front or rear should do little or no damage, at least, in my opinion

There are "low boy " flatbed tow trucks where the bed comes down to the ground for lowered cars , but even a standard wheel lift wrecker might not be able to lift it by the rear wheels without damage if it's that low

I located a towing company that has a low boy flat bed that should workout fine

A lot of tow trucks can put the car wheels on a dolly
