Well, I must say that a few months ago my auto needed a tow into the
garage and it was pulled off the ground onto the back of a lorry. But
thne the oil had leaked out of the engine...:-(

where it is for future reference. Can you help?

Snapped a tie-rod? Some mothers sons, I swear. But this does confirm
what I've always felt about tow truck drivers.

If it's an automatic you have to keep the rear wheels off the
ground if you're going above about 20 mph. Otherwise the pump
in the tranny fails. You can disconnect the driveshaft but
this is probably a bit more work than your average tow truck
pinhead is willing to do.

Use a flatbed for a Mercedes. Accept no substitute.
