There’s something undeniably special about owning a classic car. Whether it’s a lovingly restored ’67 Mustang or a head-turning cherry-red Corvette, the pride that comes with preserving a piece of automotive history is unmatched. As a classic car enthusiast based in Parker, I’ve experienced both the joy and the stress that comes with maintaining and transporting these vintage treasures.
When it comes to towing, classic cars demand a level of care that modern vehicles don’t. I learned that lesson the hard way early on, but thankfully, I discovered MAK Towing and Roadside – a local company that truly understands the unique needs of classic car owners.
Let me take you back to a chilly October morning. I had just finished detailing my 1955 Chevy Bel Air in preparation for a local car show in downtown Parker. Everything looked perfect — from the chrome trim to the gleaming white-wall tires. But just as I was about to pull onto Mainstreet, the engine sputtered and died.
Panic set in. A regular tow truck wouldn’t do. I needed someone who could handle my classic ride with care, respect, and the right equipment. That’s when a fellow car enthusiast recommended MAK Towing and Roadside.
From the moment I called, I knew I was in good hands. The dispatcher was knowledgeable and immediately asked the right questions — not just about my location, but about the car itself. They sent a flatbed tow truck equipped with soft straps and ramps suitable for low-clearance vehicles.
The tow operator arrived quickly, introduced himself politely, and took time to walk me through the process. He inspected the Bel Air, discussed the safest towing points, and reassured me that he had extensive experience with classic vehicles.
What impressed me most was the extra care he took to ensure there was no stress on the suspension or damage to the undercarriage. The car was secured using nylon straps instead of hooks, and he constantly checked that everything remained stable during loading.
Over the years, and several more shows and cruises later, I’ve stayed in touch with the crew at MAK Towing. Here are some of the best tips they’ve shared for towing classic cars safely:
One of my favorite moments with MAK was during a group cruise last summer. A buddy’s vintage GTO overheated just outside Castle Rock. Within 30 minutes, MAK had a flatbed on-site. The driver not only towed the GTO safely back to Parker but offered cold water and stayed to chat about his own restoration project. That’s the kind of service that turns a bad day into a memorable one.
Classic cars aren’t just vehicles — they’re investments, memories, and labors of love. When trouble strikes, having a trustworthy towing partner can make all the difference. For us in Parker, MAK Towing and Roadside has become that go-to name.
Whether you’re prepping for a show, dealing with an unexpected breakdown, or just want peace of mind on the road, don’t trust your prized ride to just anyone. Take it from someone who’s been there — call MAK, and cruise with confidence.
