Long-Distance Towing

When You Need to Move Your Vehicle Far from Home

Sometimes your vehicle needs to go somewhere that's not just around the corner. Maybe you're relocating to another state, your car broke down on a road trip, or you bought a vehicle from a distant seller. Whatever the reason, long-distance towing gets your vehicle where it needs to go safely.

At StrongArm Reston Tow Service, we handle long-distance vehicle transport with the same care we bring to local tows. We understand that when your car is traveling hundreds of miles, you want it protected every step of the way. That's why we use professional-grade equipment and experienced drivers for every long haul.

Common Situations for Long-Distance Towing

Long-distance towing isn't just for emergencies. People need it for all kinds of reasons:

• •Moving to a New State: You're relocating and want your car transported safely instead of putting extra miles on it.
• •Breakdown on a Trip: Your vehicle quit while you were traveling, and you need it towed back home or to a specific repair shop.
• •Vehicle Purchase: You bought a car from out of state and need it delivered to Reston.
• •Military Deployment: Service members often need vehicle transport when they receive new orders.
• •Classic or Specialty Cars: Transporting a valuable vehicle to a show, auction, or new owner.

How We Protect Your Vehicle During Long Trips

Distance changes everything when it comes to towing. A short local tow might take 20 minutes, but a long-distance haul could take several hours or even multiple days. That's why we use flatbed towing for long-distance transport whenever possible.

With your vehicle secured flat on the truck bed, all four wheels stay off the ground for the entire journey. This means zero additional mileage, no wear on your tires or drivetrain, and maximum protection from road debris. We secure your vehicle with heavy-duty straps and check everything multiple times before we hit the road.

Our drivers take scheduled breaks to inspect the load and make sure everything stays secure. We also plan routes carefully to avoid rough roads and construction zones when possible. Your vehicle gets treated with care from start to finish.

What to Expect: Planning and Pricing

Long-distance towing requires more planning than a quick local tow. When you call us, we'll ask about your pickup and drop-off locations, your vehicle type, and your timeline. This helps us provide an accurate quote and schedule the right equipment.

Pricing for long-distance towing typically includes a base rate plus a per-mile charge. The exact cost depends on distance, vehicle size, and whether you need expedited service. We provide detailed quotes upfront so you know exactly what you'll pay before we start.

If you need your vehicle moved quickly, we offer expedited service for time-sensitive situations. For less urgent transports, we can often provide lower rates if you have flexibility on timing. Either way, we keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where your vehicle is.
