Canal Winchester Towing Along US-33 and Gender Road

Our drivers take I-270 east around the south side of Columbus and pick up the US-33 freeway heading southeast. The Gender Road or Diley Road exit then puts them in town. The yard is about 14.5 miles away in a straight line and a bit more by road, so the dispatcher works out a live arrival estimate from current traffic instead of quoting a fixed number.

Steer as far onto the right shoulder as you can and put the flashers on. If traffic is heavy and there is no safe place to stand, keep your seatbelt fastened inside the car. Then call and tell the dispatcher which direction you were heading, whether you had already passed Gender Road, and what the car is doing. A flat or an empty tank may be fixed on the spot without a tow.

Usually, yes. The old downtown has narrow streets and curbside parking, so the driver may park the carrier on a cross street and bring your car to it by winch. Tell us if a festival or street closure is underway, since events around Stradley Place can shut off a block, and we plan the approach around that.

Yes. If your car will not start after an appointment or a shift there, the driver can try a jump before anything else. When a repair is needed, the car goes up on the deck and heads to the shop you name. Medical campuses have several lots and entrances, so tell the dispatcher which one you are closest to.

It can. Bixby Road is being widened and land is reserved for a future freeway interchange, so lane shifts and work zones come and go. A breakdown inside a work zone leaves little room for a carrier, so give us the nearest cross street and the driver will pick the safest place to load.

Yes. Plenty of owners in town use a dealer or a favorite mechanic back in Columbus, and we deliver to whatever address you give us. Because that run is longer than a move across town, ask for the full quote up front. Should the shop be shut by the time the carrier pulls up, tell us how it handles after-hours drop-offs so the car is left where staff expect it.

The price depends on how far our yard is from your car, how far the car then travels, and any extra work such as winching. Canal Winchester is one of our longer runs inside the county, so travel makes up a bigger share of the bill than it does closer in. You hear the total before a truck is sent; see how our rates work.

Yes. Canal Winchester crosses into Fairfield County, and an address on that side gets exactly the same service as one in Franklin County. We also keep going past town to Lancaster and north to Pickerington, so a breakdown farther out on US-33 is still within reach. Just give the dispatcher a street address or the nearest freeway exit.

Yes. Give us the store name and roughly where you parked in the lot. The driver opens the door with soft wedges and a reach tool, so the paint and glass stay intact, then checks your ID against the registration before handing the car back. Keys locked in the trunk can usually be reached the same way. More on the method is on our car lockout page.
