Professional flatbed tow truck with lowered ramp ready to load a vehicle for safe specialized transport in Islip, NY

Motorcycle Towing Is Not the Same as Car Towing

Most tow trucks are set up to handle cars, trucks, and SUVs. Motorcycles are a completely different situation. They are lighter, narrower, and far easier to damage if they are not handled correctly. A bike that gets scratched, dented, or dropped during a tow is a bike that is going to cost you money on top of an already frustrating day.

At Islip Towing Service, we treat every motorcycle tow with extra care. We use soft straps and the correct tie-down points to keep your bike secure without damaging the frame, fairings, or exhaust. Whether you ride a cruiser, a sport bike, a touring bike, or a dirt bike, we know how to load and transport it safely.

We serve Islip, NY and all the surrounding towns in Suffolk County, and we are available 24 hours a day. If your bike breaks down on the road or after an accident, one call gets a driver headed your way. We also offer flatbed towing for all vehicle types when you need the safest possible transport option.

Not sure if a tow is the right call? Call us anyway and describe what is going on. We will give you an honest answer and help you figure out the best option for your situation. If it turns out you need emergency towing right away, we will get someone out to you fast.

How We Keep Your Motorcycle Safe During Transport

The difference between a careful motorcycle tow and a careless one shows up the moment you inspect your bike at the destination. Here is what we do on every motorcycle tow to make sure your ride arrives in the same condition it left.

Soft Strap Tie-Downs

We only use soft straps on motorcycles, never chains or hooks that can scratch the frame, fairings, or handlebars. Straps are placed at the correct anchor points for your specific bike.

Wheel Chock Securing

Your front wheel is secured in a wheel chock to prevent the bike from swaying or tipping during transport. Combined with four-point strapping, your bike stays perfectly upright the entire ride.

Flatbed Transport Only

We transport motorcycles on a flatbed, not with a wheel-lift or hook. Flatbed loading keeps the bike stable, off the ground, and protected from road debris and bumps during the trip.

Before we move your bike, we walk you through how it will be loaded and secured. If you have any concerns about a specific part of your motorcycle, such as a lowered suspension, custom exhaust, or aftermarket parts, let us know and we will work around them.

How Our Motorcycle Towing Process Works

Here is exactly what happens from the moment you call us to the moment your bike arrives safely.

Call us and describe your situation

Tell us your location, the type of bike you have, and what happened. This helps us bring the right equipment and lets us plan the safest loading approach before we arrive.

We confirm your price upfront

You will know the cost of the tow before we arrive. We do not add fees at the end of the job. The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay.

We load and secure your bike carefully

Our driver inspects the bike, uses soft straps and a wheel chock, and loads it onto the flatbed. We take our time to get this right because rushing a motorcycle load is how mistakes happen.

We deliver your bike and walk away only when you are satisfied

We bring your motorcycle to any destination you choose, including repair shops, storage facilities, or your home. We do a final check with you before we go.

Motorcycle Towing Questions Answered

Do you tow all types of motorcycles?+

Yes. We tow cruisers, sport bikes, touring bikes, adventure bikes, dirt bikes, and scooters. The key difference is that each type has specific tie-down points and loading considerations. Our drivers are familiar with common motorcycle makes and models, so we know where to place straps and how to load your specific bike without causing damage.

Can you tow a motorcycle that has been dropped or is on its side?+

In many cases, yes. If the bike is on its side, we may need to upright it before loading, which we can do carefully with the right equipment. However, if the motorcycle has sustained serious damage from a fall or accident, we will assess the situation first and discuss the safest way to handle it with you. Call us and describe what happened, and we will let you know what to expect.

How far will you tow a motorcycle?+

We handle local tows throughout Islip, NY and Suffolk County for most motorcycle calls. For longer hauls, we can arrange transport depending on the destination. If you need your bike moved a significant distance, such as to a dealership in another county or to a storage facility, call us and we will discuss the options and pricing for that distance.
