Default towing question

Has anyone towed their monte before? I need to tow mine to get it fixed but I am unsure how to do it. I have a truck but i dont see anywhere to hook a tow strap onto the front and the truck is too tall. If anyone could tell me the best way to tow it it would help out alot. Thanks.

If you don't have ground effects, you can probably get away with using a car dolly. If you have ground effects, I would go with a full trailer. It souds like you will need a drop hitch for the truck, I have seen them with up to a 12" drop before.
Aside from that, don't forget about AAA- let them do it if you have coverage or if anyone you know does.
I wouldn't use a tow strap as a stand alone towing method.

I would check to see if you have free towing first...or 1WX27 said, if you know someone with AAA, have them get your car towed. Just remember that in most states, it's illegal to tow a vehicle without a solid state bar. I'm not sure where you're from but just keep that in mind...you don't need to get a ticket on top of repair costs.

Just call a tow truck . A$50.00 tow is still cheaper than tearing your bumper off or getting a ticket .
