Open trunks lock up against tow chains and cables; open doors swing during loading and can damage hinges. Walk around the vehicle with the driver before loading — confirm all closures.

If a door or trunk lid is damaged and won't close fully, tell dispatch in advance. We can use ratchet straps to secure the lid for transport.

Standard $249 / hour rate. Driver does a photo walkaround before loading — protects both sides.
