Auto Lyft USA · Columbus, Ohio
Tow Truck in Columbus, Ohio — Flatbed Towing Day or Night
One call puts a flatbed on the road from our Harrisburg Pike yard. You get a price before the truck leaves and a driver who loads your car so not one tire touches the pavement on the way.
Auto Lyft USA is a Columbus towing company with one simple rule: every tow rides on a flatbed. When you call for a tow truck in Columbus, the dispatcher asks where you are, what you drive and where it needs to go, then quotes the job before a driver is assigned. No membership, no app to download, no surprise line items when the truck arrives.
Our yard sits on Harrisburg Pike on the southwest side, a few minutes from I-70, I-71 and the I-270 outerbelt. From there the trucks cover Franklin County and the towns around it — from Delaware and Sunbury in the north to Lancaster in the southeast and London to the west.

How a call goes
From your phone call to your car on the deck

Tell us where you are
A cross street, a mile marker or a parking-lot row is enough. If you can, text a pin from your phone's map app.
Hear the price first
The dispatcher quotes the whole job — pickup, mileage and any after-hours charge — before a truck is committed.
Track the driver
You get the driver's name and a callback number. If anything changes on the road, you hear about it from us.
Car loaded, wheels up
Your vehicle is winched onto the deck, strapped at the wheels and delivered where you choose.

Why it matters
Why every Auto Lyft tow is a flatbed tow
Nothing turns on the way
All-wheel-drive systems, transmissions and EV motors stay still because no wheel touches the road during the tow.
Lowered cars load clean
A tilting deck with ramp extensions keeps the approach angle shallow enough for bumpers and splitters.
Wrecks travel in one piece
Loose bumpers and bent wheels are secured on the deck rather than dragged behind a boom.
One truck type, fewer surprises
You never wait for a dispatcher to find the right kind of truck — every truck we send is the right kind.

Columbus towing questions
How do I get a tow truck in Columbus right now?
Call (614) 633-8163. A dispatcher answers at any hour, takes your location and vehicle, gives you the price and sends the closest available flatbed. If you would rather type than talk, use the online tow request.
Do you only use flatbed tow trucks?
Yes. Our Columbus fleet is made up of light-duty flatbed carriers, so every car, SUV, pickup or van we tow rides fully on the deck. For low garages where a carrier cannot fit, we explain the options on the wheel-lift towing page.
What will my tow cost in Columbus?
The price depends on the distance from our yard to you, the distance to the drop-off, the time of day and the vehicle. The dispatcher quotes the full amount before a truck leaves. See the rates page for how a towing bill is built.
Can you tow my car to my own mechanic?
Yes. Tell the dispatcher the shop's name or address and we deliver it there. After hours we can leave it in the shop's night-drop area when they allow it, or hold it at our yard and take it over in the morning.
Do you tow electric cars and Teslas?
Yes. Electric vehicles go on the flatbed in transport (tow) mode with no tire on the road, the method most EV owner's manuals ask for. The EV towing page covers what to do before the truck arrives.
Can you jump start my car instead of towing it?
Often, yes. If the battery is simply drained, a jump start costs less than a tow and gets you moving in minutes. When the battery is past saving, we can bring a replacement battery to you.
What areas around Columbus do you cover?
All of Columbus and its neighborhoods, plus the suburbs and towns around it, including Dublin, Hilliard, Grove City, Westerville, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg and Pickerington. The full list with ZIP codes is on the areas page.
Are you open on holidays and overnight?
Dispatch never closes. Nights, weekends, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's morning are staffed the same as a weekday afternoon.
Will a flatbed fit in my parking garage?
Most Columbus garages have clearances under seven feet, which is too low for a carrier deck. We bring the car to the exit with a jump, a tire change or dollies, then load it outside. The parking garage towing page explains how.
Do I need a membership or an account?
No. You pay per call. There is no sign-up, annual fee or app. Businesses that want monthly billing can set up a fleet account.
How do I pay the tow driver?
Cards and cash are accepted. The amount you pay matches the amount the dispatcher quoted unless the job changed on scene, and if it did, the driver explains why before any work is done.
What is the safest way to wait for the truck?
Turn on your hazard lights, stay buckled in the car if it is on a highway shoulder, or move well away from traffic if you can do so safely. Leave your ringer on — the driver calls when they are close. Our guide on what to do after a breakdown walks through it.
Can you tow a car that was in an accident?
Yes. Once police clear the scene, we load the vehicle, sweep up the glass and parts we can, and take the car to a body shop or our yard. The accident towing page covers insurance and storage questions.
