Franklinton Flatbed Tows From Our Neighbor Yard

Franklinton is one of the closest neighborhoods to us. Our yard is on Harrisburg Pike, which runs north into the Hilltop and Franklinton area, so most trips stay on surface streets. We do not promise a set number of minutes because traffic, weather and other calls change things, but the dispatcher checks where the trucks are and gives you a live estimate before you agree to anything.

Stay with the car or somewhere comfortable nearby, and call us with the name of the lot and the row or nearest entrance. Most lot calls are batteries, which our driver can jump for the $75 roadside rate. If the car will not run, we load it on a flatbed and take it to your shop. On busy museum days, it helps to warn us if the lot is full and the lanes are packed.

Usually. Our carriers are light-duty, so they are shorter than a big wrecker, and our drivers work the grid around Gift, Lucas and Town streets often. What slows us down is double-parked delivery trucks and cars hugging both curbs. If the street is completely blocked, we may winch the car a short distance to a better spot before loading. Tell us about anything unusual when you call.

Yes. The median on Sullivant means our driver cannot always pull up directly beside a car on the far side. Tell the dispatcher which way you were driving and the nearest cross street, and the driver will come in from the right direction. If you are in a travel lane, turn the hazards on and get out on the curb side only when it is safe.

We are a towing company, not a medical service, so for an emergency call 911. Mount Carmel switched its Franklinton building to a primary care center in August 2026, which means it no longer takes emergency patients. If you were in a crash and are hurt, let the paramedics handle you first. Once you are safe, we can come for the car with accident towing.

Light vans, pickups and smaller box trucks within our flatbed limits, yes; a large vehicle adds $100. For anything heavier, such as a loaded straight truck, we call one of our heavy-wrecker partners and coordinate the job so you only make one call. Describe the vehicle, its weight class if you know it, and whether it is loaded, so we send the right equipment the first time.

The Franklinton floodwall protects the neighborhood from the river, but local streets can still collect water during a hard storm. Never drive into standing water. If your car stalled in a puddle, do not try to restart it, because that can pull water into the engine. Call us and we will load it on a flatbed with the wheels off the ground.

Anywhere you choose. Many Franklinton owners use shops on West Broad or Sullivant, some go downtown or to a dealer, and some want the car back home. If the shop is closed when we arrive, we can keep it at our Harrisburg Pike yard for $45 a day and deliver it later. We are not a repair shop, but we can suggest an independent partner shop if you need one.
