How Is Motorcycle Towing in Atlanta Different From Car Towing?
A car can be lifted by one end and pulled. A motorcycle can't. It has two wheels, a narrow footprint and parts like mirrors, levers, pegs and fairings that stick out and scratch easily. Towing a motorcycle in Atlanta the right way means carrying the whole bike, keeping it upright and holding it still for the ride.
That's why we carry bikes on the truck bed and secure them with towing straps made for motorcycles, attached at solid points on the frame so they don't pull on bodywork or controls. Our flatbed towing in Atlanta page explains how a flat deck keeps every wheel off the road.
Riders call us for all kinds of reasons: a bike that won't start in a parking deck, a chain that came off, a flat rear tire, a clutch cable that snapped on Campbellton Rd, or a motorcycle breakdown on I-20 at the worst possible moment. Whatever the reason, we'll take the bike where you want it to go.
Call (470) 905-2410What Should You Do When Your Bike Breaks Down?
On a motorcycle, you're more exposed than any driver. These steps help keep you safe until help arrives.
Get off the road first
Coast to the shoulder, an exit ramp or a parking lot if you can. Put the bike on its kickstand on firm, level ground away from traffic.
Make yourself visible
Turn on the hazard lights if your bike has them. Keep your helmet and jacket on, and stand well away from the travel lanes, behind a barrier if there is one.
Don't push it far
Walking a heavy bike along a highway shoulder is tiring and risky. Stop in the safest nearby spot and call us with landmarks or the nearest exit.
Call 911 if you went down
If you crashed or feel hurt, call 911 before anything else. Our accident towing in Atlanta page covers what comes next.
What Should You Tell Us About Your Motorcycle?
A short description helps us send the right truck and plan how to load the bike:
- The make, model and type of bike, and roughly how big it is.
- Whether it rolls freely and whether the front wheel steers.
- Any damage, especially to the wheels, forks or handlebars.
- Saddlebags, a top case, a windshield or other add-ons we should know about.
- Where it's parked (street, garage, highway shoulder) and where it's going.
Sometimes the bike doesn't need a tow at all. If the battery is dead or the tank is dry, our roadside assistance in Atlanta may get you riding again. Prolocal Towing Services is an Atlanta towing company available day and night. Call us or send a quote request online.

Motorcycle Towing Questions
How do you tow a motorcycle without damaging it?
We carry the whole bike on the truck bed, upright, and hold it in place with motorcycle towing straps attached at solid frame points. That keeps both wheels off the road and keeps pressure off mirrors, levers and bodywork.
Can you tow my motorcycle to a dealer or repair shop?
Yes. You choose the drop-off, whether it's a dealer, an independent shop or your garage. Tell us the address when you call so we can include it in your free quote.
Do you tow scooters and touring bikes?
Tell us the make, model and size of your scooter or touring bike when you call. We'll confirm the right truck and setup for it before we head your way.
What should I do if my motorcycle breaks down on the interstate?
Get the bike as far onto the shoulder as you can, keep your gear on and stand well away from traffic. Call 911 if you're hurt or stuck in a lane, then call us at (470) 905-2410 with the nearest exit or mile marker.
Can I ride along with my motorcycle?
Ask when you call. Whether there is room for a passenger depends on the truck and the job, so the dispatcher will tell you before we arrive and you can arrange another ride if needed.
