Default Roll back

What is the proper way to put my 2011 grand sport on a roll back. I have a bad transmission leak and do not want to drive it to the dealer. I was looking under the front of the car and can't see anyplace that they would hook anything.

there are 4 j-hook holes in the frame under each end of door.use a set of spreaders on end of roll off winch line under the car and hook into one j-hook hole under front of each door

From experience, you will also need ramps to get the car onto the roll back.

Often, a rollback operator will use 2X10 timbers or other ramps to make the ascent onto the rollback at a gentler climb.
