Luxury & Exotic Vehicle Towing in Gilbert, AZ
You didn’t spend six figures on a Porsche to watch it get dragged onto a dirty flatbed by a guy who treats every car like a beater. Gilbert has serious money and serious cars — BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens — and they deserve a towing company that understands what’s at stake. Thompson’s Auto Repair & Towing provides white-glove towing service for luxury and exotic vehicles throughout Gilbert and the East Valley. We use clean flatbed trucks, soft-tie strap systems, and enclosed transport options to make sure your vehicle arrives without a single new scratch. Over 30 years in business, fully insured, available 24/7. Call 480-418-9206 when your high-end vehicle needs to move.
Why Choose Thompson’s for Luxury Vehicle Towing
The East Valley is full of nice cars. Drive through Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch, or the neighborhoods off Val Vista Drive, and you’ll see driveways with AMG Mercedes, M-series BMWs, Porsche Cayennes, and the occasional supercar. These vehicles have low ground clearance, carbon fiber body panels, ceramic brakes, and paint jobs that cost more than some people’s cars. A careless tow truck driver can do thousands of dollars in damage in seconds.
Bryan Vivian, Thompson’s owner, has built this company over three decades on a reputation for doing things right. When it comes to luxury and exotic vehicles, “right” means:
- Flatbed only. No wheel-lifts, no dollies, no hooks. Your car rides on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground.
- Soft-tie straps. We use tire-net straps and soft-loop systems that secure the vehicle by the wheels and tires — never by the body, bumpers, or suspension components.
- Clean bed. Before we load your car, we make sure the flatbed is clean. No gravel, no debris, no residue from the last job.
- Enclosed transport available. For high-value exotics — Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, classic collectibles — we offer enclosed transport to protect against road debris, weather, and prying eyes.
And here’s the part no other towing company in Gilbert can match: we’re also a full-service auto repair shop. If your BMW threw a check engine light, your Mercedes has a suspension fault, or your Porsche won’t start — we can diagnose and repair it. Tow and fix, one company.
How Luxury Vehicle Towing Works
Step 1: Call 480-418-9206. Tell us the make, model, and what’s going on. Mention if you want enclosed transport — we’ll arrange it.
Step 2: We send the right truck. Luxury and exotic vehicles always get a clean flatbed. If you requested enclosed transport, we coordinate that as well.
Step 3: Careful loading. Our driver positions the flatbed, deploys the ramp at the proper angle for your vehicle’s ground clearance, and loads the car slowly. For very low vehicles (Lamborghini Huracán, Ferrari 488, McLaren 720S), we use low-angle loading techniques to prevent scraping the front splitter or diffuser.
Step 4: Secure with soft-tie systems. The vehicle is strapped down using wheel nets or tire basket straps. No chains, no hooks on the body, no contact with painted surfaces. We double-check every strap.
Step 5: Transport. We deliver to your home, a dealership, a specialty mechanic, the body shop, or our own repair facility. You tell us where.
When You Need Luxury Vehicle Towing
High-end cars break down too — sometimes more often than regular cars (looking at you, Land Rover). Here’s when Gilbert’s luxury car owners call us:
- Mechanical breakdown: Air suspension failure, electrical gremlins, engine warning lights. German and Italian cars have complex electronics that don’t always cooperate.
- Flat tire with no spare: Most luxury and exotic cars don’t carry spare tires. Run-flat tires only get you so far. When they go, you need a flatbed.
- Auction or show transport: Moving a car to or from Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, a car meet, or a private sale.
- Dealership service: Car isn’t driveable and needs to get to the dealer. We’ll flatbed it there.
- Track day transport: Getting your Porsche GT3 to Arizona Motorsports Park or Inde Motorsports Ranch without putting street miles on it.
- Accident recovery: After a collision, we recover your vehicle with the care it deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions — Luxury & Exotic Towing
Do you offer enclosed transport for exotic cars?
Yes. We offer enclosed transport for high-value vehicles that need extra protection from weather, road debris, and visibility. It costs more than open flatbed transport, but for a Ferrari or Lamborghini, it’s worth it. Call 480-418-9206 to arrange enclosed transport.
Will your flatbed scratch my car?
No. We clean the bed before loading, use soft-tie straps on the wheels only, and our loading process avoids any contact between the truck and your vehicle’s body, bumpers, or spoilers.
Can you handle cars with very low ground clearance?
Yes. We use low-angle ramp techniques and can adjust our flatbed approach for vehicles like the Lamborghini Huracán, Ferrari 488, and other supercars that sit just inches off the ground.
Can Thompson’s repair luxury vehicles?
We handle many common repairs — brakes, suspension, tires, batteries, engine diagnostics, and general maintenance. For brand-specific issues that require proprietary diagnostic tools (Ferrari’s SD3 system, Porsche PIWIS, etc.), we’ll recommend the appropriate dealership or specialist. But for the majority of mechanical issues, we can take care of it right here.
