This reduces wear and tear during transport and is ideal for low-clearance cars, all-wheel-drive vehicles, and accident-damaged cars. At Arnold's Junk Cars, we use flatbeds frequently along US-74 for secure, damage-free transport.

Flatbeds prevent drivetrain damage and ensure no additional wear during transport. At Arnold's Junk Cars, we recommend flatbed service for dealership deliveries and long-distance moves throughout Cleveland County.
