The Closest Village We Tow In: Urbancrest, Ohio

Very close. Our yard at 1620 Harrisburg Pike is about 2.5 miles from the village in a straight line, and the drive is a short run down our own street. That makes Urbancrest one of the easiest places for us to reach. The dispatcher still gives you a live arrival estimate based on where the nearest truck is at that moment, since a carrier may be out on another job when you call.

Yes. Several buildings in Urbancrest's industrial section use Grove City mailing addresses, the Best Buy facility among them. Give the street address and company name exactly as written, and the driver will find it. Mention the dock, door or row of the lot where you parked, and whether a guard shack or gate sits between the street and your car.

Yes. The South West Community Center lot is an easy place for us to work. Tell us roughly where you parked, and the driver will boost the battery and check that the charging system is doing its job before leaving. Our jump start page covers what to expect. Have the hood release handy and your keys out of the ignition.

Yes. We move employees' personal cars and any company vehicle that fits on a light-duty flatbed: cars, SUVs, pickups and most vans. Businesses can open an account so their drivers call us directly. If a vehicle is too large for our carriers, the dispatcher will say so before anything is scheduled.

Not much, since the village is compact. The main things to flag are event days at MLK Park or Mayors Park Pavilion, when cars line the streets, and shift change on the industrial side, when lots and driveways get busy. Mention either when you call and the driver will plan the approach, perhaps coming in from Augustus Drive instead of First Avenue.

Property owners and managers in the village, whether an apartment building or a warehouse lot on Urbancrest Industrial Drive, can arrange private property towing with us. The lot needs the proper tow-away signs posted first, and we set up a written agreement with the owner before removing any vehicle. Call the office rather than dispatch to start that conversation.

The part of the price that covers reaching you is small, because the drive is short. What you pay overall depends mostly on where the car is going and whether the job needs extra work. You will hear the full number before the truck leaves, and it does not grow once the driver is on site unless the job changes. Read how our rates work.

Yes, either one. Grove City shops are just to the south and the Columbus neighborhoods along Harrisburg Pike are just to the north, so most Urbancrest tows are short in both directions. You pick the destination, and the car rides there on the flatbed. If the shop has not opened yet, the car can stay with us on Harrisburg Pike until it does.

All of them. Grove City borders Urbancrest to the south, Harrisburg is farther down US-62, and neighborhoods such as Lincoln Village and Valleyview lie to the north. A truck working in any of those spots can usually be pointed toward the village without much delay, and we tow in the other direction just as often when an Urbancrest car needs a shop elsewhere.
