Towing and Roadside Help in Weinland Park

Turn your hazards on and stay in the car if traffic is moving fast around you. Call us and tell the dispatcher the nearest cross avenue. Because Summit runs one way, the driver may need to loop around on Fourth Street to come in behind you. If the car can be rolled, pushing it into a parking spot or side street makes the pickup quicker and safer for everyone, but only if you can do it without risk.

A flatbed loads from the back, so the driver wants to pull up in front of your car, facing the same direction it is. On a one-way street, that means the truck has to come in the legal direction of traffic. Telling us which street and which side your car is on helps the driver plan the approach before reaching the neighborhood, rather than circling the block.

We can tow it to a scrap yard or salvage buyer you have arranged, and our junk car removal page explains how that works. You will need the title or other proof of ownership so the car can legally change hands. Cars that have sat in a backyard or alley for a long time may have flat tires or seized brakes, so tell us about that when you call.

Yes. Grant Park and the newer houses along Grant Avenue and North Sixth Street often have rear garages or parking pads off the alley. The carrier may not fit into those spaces, so the driver uses the winch to pull the car out to the alley or street and loads it there. If you have an EV or a low car, mention it when you call so the driver comes prepared.

From our yard on Harrisburg Pike, most drivers take I-70 east and I-71 north to the 11th Avenue exit, which puts them at the top of the neighborhood. Because the Fifth Avenue exit only serves southbound traffic, it is not an option on the way up. When the interstate is backed up, High Street from Downtown is a slower but steady alternative. You get an approximate arrival time when you call.

Yes. A jump start is a $75 roadside call. The driver connects a portable booster, starts the car, and checks whether the battery and alternator are working properly. If the battery is too weak, a replacement can be installed on the spot, which often costs less than a tow plus a shop visit. If the car still will not start, the driver can tow it to your mechanic.

We do, to any shop you pick. We are not mechanics ourselves, so we have no reason to steer you anywhere. If you do not have a regular shop, we can name an independent partner that looks over the car and gives you a quote before doing any work. If the shop is already closed, the car can be dropped in its after-hours lot with permission or held at our yard.

To the south across Fifth Avenue is Italian Village, to the north and west is the University District, and a few blocks south and west is the Short North. Farther up High Street is Old North. We tow and provide roadside help in all of them, at the same published rates. If you are calling for someone else, such as a student or a relative, give us their location and phone number and we will keep them updated while the truck is on its way.
