Schedule Tows for Dealerships (and Fleets)

Plan vehicle movements ahead of time. Book a tow with a pickup window, add notes for access, and get a confirmed provider when available—without endless phone calls.

Use cases: inter-branch transfers, workshop moves, customer deliveries, auction logistics, and recovery planning.

Step 1

Create a scheduled request

Enter pickup and drop-off addresses, then select your preferred pickup date and time window. Add vehicle details and access notes to avoid delays.

  • Vehicle condition notes (no key, flat battery, locked steering).
  • Access constraints (compound gate, basement parking, height limits).
  • Contact person for handover (name + phone).

Step 2

Providers are notified early

Scheduled requests can be shown to providers ahead of time so they can plan routing and availability. You receive updates as the request is accepted or adjusted.

  • Early visibility helps secure capacity.
  • Status updates reduce follow-ups.
  • Rescheduling is possible if constraints change.

Inter-branch transfers

Move vehicles between sites with a predictable pickup window and clear drop-off instructions.

  • Stock rebalancing across locations.
  • Transfers to detailing or PDI sites.
  • Back-to-back scheduling for multiple vehicles.

Workshop and customer deliveries

Coordinate workshop handovers and deliveries to customers without disrupting staff workflows.

  • Pickups after service completion.
  • Delivery to customer address or workplace.
  • Time windows aligned with customer availability.

FAQ

Can we schedule a tow for a specific time?

Yes. Choose a date and a time window. Providers may confirm based on availability; if anything changes, you’ll be notified so you can adjust the window.

What vehicle details should we include?

Include any constraints that affect loading: keys/no keys, battery condition, locked steering, vehicle type, and whether the car is inside a compound or basement parking.

Do you handle long-distance and inter-county moves?

If the route is serviceable by available providers, you can schedule it. The price and feasibility depend on distance, timing, and vehicle constraints.

Can we manage repeated movements as a dealership?

Yes. If you have frequent requests, use this page as a starting point—then contact us to define a dealership workflow (handover contacts, preferred notes, and repeat routes).

What if no provider accepts the scheduled request?

You’ll be notified. You can widen the time window, adjust details, or request an immediate tow if it becomes urgent.
