    Why Palo Alto calls feel different with Heavy Tow Pro

    A dead Model S outside a Sand Hill firm or a bent wheel on Embarcadero near the baylands needs more than a generic hook. Heavy Tow Pro emphasizes flatbed-first transport, soft-strap discipline, and calm communication when clients are on speaker with their insurance agent. We treat Palo Alto as a premium corridor, not a cookie-cutter tow.

    Why Palo Alto drivers choose Heavy Tow Pro

    White-glove flatbed discipline

    High-value vehicles get soft straps, low-angle ramps, and patient loading.

    Campus-adjacent etiquette

    We respect Stanford traffic patterns, bike lanes, and pedestrian-heavy crossings.

    EV fluency

    Tesla, Lucid, Rivian — we confirm tow mode and power state before rolling.

    Sand Hill timing honesty

    When 280 backs up, we reset ETAs immediately — no ghost trucks.

    Photos and strap placement notes available for claims packets.
