The Specialist Touch: Why Luxury Car Transport Requires More Than Just a Tow Truck

July 21, 2025

Your vehicle is more than just a car; it's a prized possession, an investment, and a work of art. When it needs to be moved, whether for a service, a show, or because of a breakdown, you can't trust it to just any towing service. Standard recovery methods can pose a risk to vehicles with low ground clearance, carbon fibre bodywork, or delicate paintwork. This is where specialist luxury car transport comes in.

The Risks of Standard Towing

Traditional "hook and chain" or spectacle lift towing can put undue stress on a vehicle's chassis and bumpers. For performance cars with low spoilers and side skirts, the risk of expensive scrapes and damage is incredibly high.


The Professional Solution: Flatbed & Enclosed Transporters

At Advance Vehicle Recovery, we utilise a fleet of modern transporters specifically designed for high-value vehicles.


  • Flatbed Trucks: Our slide-and-tilt flatbed trucks have a low loading angle, allowing vehicles to be carefully winched aboard without any risk to the bodywork. The vehicle is then securely strapped down by its wheels, ensuring the suspension and chassis are not put under any strain during transit.
  • Enclosed Transporters: For the ultimate in protection and discretion, we offer enclosed transport options. This protects your vehicle from rock chips, weather, and public view, ensuring it arrives in the exact same pristine condition it left in.


Expertise is Key

Beyond the equipment, our technicians are specially trained in handling prestige vehicles. They understand the intricacies of different makes and models, from engaging transport modes on modern supercars to the delicate handling required for vintage classics.


Whether you need to move a Lamborghini from Kensington to a service centre or transport a classic Jaguar to a show, trust the experts. Contact Advance Vehicle Recovery to discuss our discreet and professional luxury vehicle transport services.
