Need a Tow in Lincoln Village? Flatbeds Five Miles Away

It is one of our shorter runs. Lincoln Village lies about five miles northwest of 1620 Harrisburg Pike, and the driver can come up the outerbelt to the Broad Street exit or use west-side surface streets when I-270 is jammed. Whoever takes your call checks the live traffic picture and passes along a current arrival window.

Flashers on, seat belt fastened, and only leave the car if there is smoke or traffic is clipping past too close; then walk well clear of the lanes. When you phone (614) 633-8163, tell us which side of the outerbelt you stopped on and the way you were driving. Because the rebuilt Broad Street has medians and little shoulder, our driver may move the car to a side street before fully securing it.

Yes. Dead batteries at the plaza, especially after a cold night or a long shopping trip with the lights left on, are among our routine calls in this neighborhood. Our operator connects a booster, gets the engine running, checks the charging system and then tells you plainly if the car can make the trip home under its own power or belongs on the deck.

Yes. The streets were designed in the 1950s with gentle curves to slow traffic, and they are wide enough for our light-duty flatbeds. Short driveways sometimes mean the driver loads from the curb and winches the car out, which is routine. Tell us if a car is parked in a garage or behind another vehicle.

We do. Sullivant Avenue forms the southern border, and we pick up from homes, apartment lots and businesses along it as well as the streets around Lakota Park. Many of those calls are older vehicles headed to a mechanic, and a fair number are cars that have sat for months and are finally being cleared out through junk car removal.

Because the neighborhood is so close to our yard, the mileage share is small. What really moves the number is the destination, any extra labor such as a winch-out, and whether it is overnight or a holiday. The dispatcher quotes the complete job up front, and our rates page explains the pieces.

Lincoln Village is mostly part of Prairie Township rather than the City of Columbus, though it uses Columbus mailing addresses. For you, this only matters if police are on scene, since a township or county officer may be the one directing the tow. We work with whichever agency is in charge.

Yes. North of I-70, many residents use mechanics in Hilliard; others go west to garages near Galloway Road or east into the city along Broad Street. Give the dispatcher the shop name and we deliver there, or store the car overnight on our lot whenever the garage is shut. Keys can stay with the driver, who hands them to the shop staff along with your contact number.
