Westgate Car Towing, a Short Run From Our Gate

Yes, it is one of the closest neighborhoods we serve. Our trucks start at 1620 Harrisburg Pike, south of the Hilltop, and reach Westgate on local roads. Because en-route travel is billed at $4 a mile from the yard, a Westgate call keeps that part of the price small. The dispatcher will tell you how soon a truck can arrive based on where the drivers are at that moment.

In most cases. Many Westgate homes have a single-lane driveway leading back to a detached garage. A flatbed may not fit all the way up, so the driver often backs to the end of the drive and pulls the car down with the winch. If the car is in gear and will not roll, or a wheel is locked, mention it, because that changes the approach.

Yes. Lockouts at the park lot are common, especially from people walking the loop or fishing at the lake. Our lockout service is part of the $75 roadside flat rate, and the driver uses wedge and long-reach tools to open the door without damage. You will need to show ID that matches the vehicle before the driver opens it, and if the keys are visible inside, tell us where so the driver can plan the reach.

Give the dispatcher the side of Sullivant you are on and whether the gate is ahead of you or behind you. The block is long and the stone wall makes it easy to miss a car pulled to the curb, so a landmark helps. Keep your hazards on, and if traffic is heavy, wait on the sidewalk rather than next to the car.

We do. A car that won't start after the market is a quick job for us. The side streets fill up on market mornings, so tell the dispatcher exactly which street you parked on and roughly how far from Broad. If the car is boxed in, the driver may need a few minutes to reposition it before loading, and a quick word with the neighbor who parked close usually helps.

It depends on the shop's distance and the time of day, but the parts are fixed: the trip out is $4 per mile from our yard, loading costs $125, and every mile with your car aboard is $7. Nights, weekends and highway pickups add the surcharges listed on our rates page. The dispatcher adds it up and tells you the total before the truck leaves.

Yes. We are not a repair shop ourselves, but we can suggest an independent partner shop that will diagnose the problem, give you a quote and do the repair if you approve it. Many Westgate customers also take their cars to garages along Broad or Sullivant. Either way, we deliver the car and leave the keys where the shop asks.
