MCV towing was dispatched seamlessly via Alfa Roadside Assistance. Driver (owner?) was extremely communicative, including instructing me to get off the SMRP so that he could actually tow.
Truck showed up within the time frame promised and was happy to flatbed tow me to a different location than initially instructed.
Only quibble: getting my Alfa onto the flatbed without at least somewhat scraping the bottom of the active carbon front spoiler sadly proved impossible...driver said he normally has additional wood in the truck to accommodate low-ish to the ground vehicles but that the previous person who used the truck "did not put the wood back."
In short, a job well done other than the unnecessary (thankfully slight) damage done to my lower front spoiler lip. read more
