Olde Towne East Towing for Mansion Blocks and Alleys

It depends on the alley. Many Olde Towne East garages sit at the rear of deep lots and open onto narrow, sometimes rough alleys. If the flatbed can back in, we load right there. If not, the driver will roll or winch the car out to the alley mouth or the street. Tell us about any gates, posts, overhead wires or low branches when you call, and we will plan for them.

Yes, and they ride only on a flatbed, so no tire turns on the pavement during the trip. Many owners in the neighborhood keep older cars in their garages, and some have not run in a while. Let us know the make, model and year, whether it rolls, and whether it has low ground clearance or custom parts. The driver uses soft straps and takes care around trim and bumpers.

Put the hazards on, and if it is safe, get out on the curb side and wait on the sidewalk. East Broad moves fast, and people sitting in a stalled car are at risk from rear-end crashes. Call us with the nearest cross street and your direction. If police arrive first, they may push the car to the curb, and we will pick it up from there.

Yes. Lockouts and dead batteries in the conservatory lots are common after weddings, exhibits and evening events. Say whether you parked in the main conservatory lot or along the street and, for a private event, whether there is staff at the gate. Our roadside flat rate is $75, with the overnight surcharge applying after 10 PM. If the car needs a tow, we load it right there.

Yes. The ramps on the west edge connect Olde Towne East to downtown, and they can be short and crowded. If you stall on a ramp, stay inside with your belt on and call 911 if you are blocking traffic. Then call us with the ramp name. If you made it onto a city street, the highway surcharge does not apply.

Sometimes. Many Olde Towne East streets have cars along both curbs, and the big trees make it hard to see from a distance. The driver will look for the best spot to load, which might be a few houses down. If you can save space at the curb by moving a second car or putting out cones, the job goes faster.

Wherever you like: a shop on Parsons, a dealer, your insurer's body shop or another driveway. We are not a repair shop, but we can recommend an independent partner shop that diagnoses and quotes before any repair. If the destination is closed, we can keep the car at our yard on Harrisburg Pike for $45 a day and deliver it when they open.
