Flatbed Towing for Falfurrias drivers, done by licensed Coastal Bend operators. Quick Tow Corpus Christi matches you with flatbed towing across the Coastal Bend, and the line takes calls 24/7.

Why is flatbed towing different in the Coastal & Outer Corridor?
Flatbed is the default for the long runs on US-77 and US-281 where dragging a car 40 miles is asking for damage. Storm-damaged and flood-totaled vehicles around Rockport and Refugio load flat for the insurance shop. RVs and boat trailers off the peninsula roads get the right deck.
What is flatbed towing like in Falfurrias, TX?
US-281 carries 2,500 trucks a day through Falfurrias, and the checkpoint is 13 miles south with no help in between.
Falfurrias is the Brooks County seat, sitting at the intersection of US-281 and SH-285 about 78 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. Edward Lasater founded the town in 1904, brought in Jersey cattle, built a creamery in 1909, and made Falfurrias butter a name known across Texas. The dairy's gone but the identity stuck. The town still calls itself the Land of Heart's Delight. Brooks County is one of the lowest-income counties in Texas, and 92.6% of Falfurrias residents are Hispanic. Spanish is not the second language here. It's the first. The US-281 Falfurrias Border Patrol Checkpoint is 13 miles south of town, a three-lane facility that opened in 1994 and was expanded in 2019 with new X-ray equipment. About 10,500 vehicles pass through daily, and around 2,500 of them are commercial 18-wheelers. Every northbound truck gets inspected: brake lines, tires, weight, paperwork. A truck with a defect that makes it through the checkpoint but can't hold speed heading north has nowhere to go. Falfurrias has no heavy-duty truck repair, and the nearest real yard is in Alice or south Corpus. We've run down US-281 to pull commercial rigs off the shoulder before, and we'll do it again. SH-285 heads east from Falfurrias 33 miles to Riviera and US-77. There's nothing on that road between the two endpoints: no fuel, no mechanic, no cell tower you can count on. A driver who takes SH-285 and has engine trouble halfway across is calling from the middle of South Texas brush country. We know that route. Si su vehículo se quedó tirado en el 281 o en la 285, llámenos. Despachamos en español y conocemos estas carreteras.

Why flatbed towing instead of wheel lift?
Anything all-wheel drive needs flatbed towing, full stop - wheel lifts leave two wheels on the ground and the spinning driveshaft destroys the transfer case. EVs are the same story - dragging a Tesla or Rivian with drive wheels on the ground fries the motor. Sports cars and lowered cars need a flatbed because wheel lifts lift only one end and the other end scrapes. If you're not sure, call and say what you drive.
