- Provides stable, secure vehicle handling
- Ideal for accident or breakdown recovery
Vehicles That Benefit From Flatbed Towing
Flatbed towing is recommended for vehicles that need extra protection or cannot be safely towed with traditional methods.

- All-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles
- Low-clearance sports and lowered cars
- Classic and collectible vehicles
- Accident-damaged or disabled vehicles
Flatbed towing ensures safer, damage-free transport for all vehicle types throughout San Diego County.

"My friend recommend World Auto Body and I couldn't be happier that I got my car fixed here. Alex and Angel were very professional,
informative and nice! I was kept up to date with everything that was getting done to my car and the service was done
within the time period that they told me. My car looks brand new, the job speaks quality! I recommend this place
to anybody that is looking for an auto body shop that does things right!" -
"Robert!!! "Dear owner Mr. Robert" you and your staff have a special place in my heart and now I truly call family! True Story: I ventured to the Fashion Valley mall to purchase a few items at the container store, while looking for parking a lady backed out of her parking space into my car! #fail My Insurance provider works with World Auto Body and highly suggested them, not only because they do amazing work on high end cars but they also have a lifetime guarantee. Alex was my World Auto Body rep. … Robert and Alex truly made a really bad experience like a car accident...easy and effortless. My "baby" now looks better than new! There were no "hidden" fee's, and they stay true to their word when they give you the exact estimated time that it will take for them to complete the repairs."
