    I own and opperate a towing company, Get a wrecker with a wheel lift to come get your car, It will take a wheel lift and dollies, any driver who knows what he is doing will get out and jack the car up first before attaching to it.

    If you get some one who has a self loading wheel lift the L arms will be to the inside so the A-Arm of the car can rest on them with out tearing up anything any more.

    You will want to replace the rotor though.

    If you have the GT with the body kit, trying to load it onto a wrecker will certanly jack your car up worse, and the towing company may be liable.

    just yank the SOB onto the truck bed. the insurance companies are aware of additional charges the body shop WILL run into.

    and unless you are a BRAND NEW tow operator, you really should have known this. YANK IT.........!!!!!

    I highly agree with you about him not being a tow truck driver. Especially since he's akin how he could get the car on there, but turns around and throws out all kinds of options that he could do. Like said if it was me then I'd yank it
