wanted towing service/Denver CO
Looking for a flatbed/rollback towing service in Denver CO that knows how to move around these little cars. The old guys who knew what they were doing are retiring and the younger ones have never seen a 356.

I'd touch base with the PCA in your region. I'm sure they can refer you to someone reputable and familiar with flatbedding a Porsche. Perhaps even your local AAA towing service?

Re: wanted towing service/Denver CO
I have used my local CAA (Canadian version of the same) I will admit to hauling it from my house to upholstery, then to engine shop.. drove home.. then tow back to engine shop.. and sometimes I get a young guy.. sometimes a more experienced guy.. they are all SO GOOD..
when they pull up and see what they get to tow.. I think it has made there day.. they use soft straps to pull it onto the flat bed, secure it around the tires with soft straps.. and all with a big smile..
that said.. I always tow on days I know they will not be to busy, and I am flexible on the times, always tell them they must use a flat bed..
great experience !!

I used a AAA flatbed for transport from body shop to upholstery and back. The one driver had an uncle with a Speedster and had transported several 356's.

Re: wanted towing service/Denver CO
I've had fine service from AAA / flatbeds. I have premium AAA membership, extended tow miles and other benes. After losing my keys, although it took a couple of tries, AAA sent someone out with old VW tools who was able to open the wind wing and get me access to the car.
