Upper Arlington Tow Trucks for Lane Avenue, Tremont and Riverside

From our yard the driver usually heads north through Franklinton and then up SR-315, Riverside Drive or Fifth Avenue, depending on which part of UA you are in. Homes in the northwest corner are sometimes quicker to reach from I-270 at Fishinger Boulevard. The dispatcher looks at current traffic and tells you when to expect the truck.

Yes, though we plan around it. Roads near the stadium close or back up for hours before and after kickoff, and police may limit turns. If your car breaks down on Lane Avenue on a Saturday in the fall, tell us exactly which block you are on and we will find the cleanest way in, even if it means approaching from the north or west.

Ease the car onto whatever shoulder or grass exists, flip on the four-way flashers, and keep your belt fastened unless there is a safe spot well clear of the lanes to stand. The shoulders on that stretch are narrow and drivers come around the curves quickly. Call (614) 633-8163, tell us your direction of travel and the nearest landmark, and we will send a carrier.

Yes. Work around the Kingsdale redevelopment sometimes closes drive aisles or moves parking, so name the nearest storefront and the driveway you turned in from. The driver will call you on the way if a route is blocked. Most problems in those lots are dead batteries or lockouts, and a car lockout visit is often enough.

Usually it can stop on the street and winch the car down the driveway onto the bed, which is gentler than backing into a narrow drive. Low-hanging trees can be an issue on some older streets, so the driver may ask you to move another car or open the garage. If your car is lowered or has a front spoiler, mention it so the right ramps are ready.

Your bill is built from the trip length to the drop-off, the clock (overnight calls cost more), and special handling such as a winch-out or a car wedged in a tight space. UA is close to our yard, which keeps the travel portion modest. You get the complete figure on the phone, and the rates page breaks down how each piece is calculated.

Yes. You choose the destination, whether that is a shop near campus, a dealer elsewhere in Columbus or your own garage. Arriving after hours is fine: with the owner's okay we use a shop's night drop, or the car spends the night inside our fenced lot and goes over at opening time. Our repair shop towing page has more on how drop-offs work.

Yes. UA borders several areas we cover often, including Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff to the south, Hilliard to the west and Worthington to the northeast. A truck working one of those towns can usually move over to UA without a long detour. If your car needs to leave UA altogether, say for a dealer in another suburb, we can carry it there in a single trip.
