Sharon Woods Towing and Roadside Calls

Yes. Driveway no-starts are the most typical call in this neighborhood. The driver tries a jump for the $75 roadside fee and checks whether the battery and alternator are working properly. If the battery is worn out, it can be replaced right there. If the car has a bigger problem, the driver loads it on the flatbed and takes it to your mechanic or dealer.

Yes. If the brakes are locked or the car is stuck in park with a dead battery, the driver can use wheel dollies or the winch to bring it out to the driveway. Tell the dispatcher what is wrong, how far the car is from the garage door, and whether the driveway slopes. That helps the driver bring the right equipment and plan the loading angle.

Yes. Dead batteries, flat tires and keys locked inside cars in the Beechcroft and Northgate lots are calls we take. A parent can call on a student's behalf. The driver will want to confirm the car belongs to the family before unlocking it, so have the registration or ID ready. A lockout or jump is the flat $75 roadside rate.

Our yard is on Harrisburg Pike, southwest of Downtown, so this is one of our longer north-side trips. The driver usually takes I-70 to I-71 north and exits at SR-161. When I-71 is jammed, going around the west side on I-270 can be quicker. The dispatcher checks traffic when you call and gives you an estimate. En-route miles are billed at $4 each.

Yes. Lockouts, dead batteries and flat tires in the Sharon Woods Center and other SR-161 lots are regular calls. If the car needs to go to a shop, the driver loads it in the lot. If you are in a turning lane or traffic lane on SR-161 when the car dies, turn on your hazards and, if it is safe, stay in the car until the truck arrives.

Yes, it is inside the outerbelt. The price depends on distance, not on which side of I-270 you are on. Because the neighborhood is far north of our yard, the en-route part of the bill is larger than for a southwest-side call. Highway surcharges only apply if we pick the car up on an interstate or freeway, such as I-270 or I-71.

Yes. EVs ride on the flatbed with all wheels off the road, which most makers require. EV rates are on our card: $2.50 per mile to reach you, $150 to hook up and $7.50 per loaded mile. Hybrids are towed on the standard rate. If an EV ran out of charge, we can take it to a nearby charger or home. See EV towing.

Sharon Woods sits next to Northland to the south and west and Linden farther south. Close by to the northeast are Westerville and Minerva Park. We cover all of them, with the same published prices and the same flatbed trucks, any hour of the day. A tow from Sharon Woods to a dealer in Westerville or up toward Polaris is priced by the loaded mile, the same as a trip across town.
