Do you offer impound services for property managers?
Yes, we provide professional impound towing services for property managers, HOAs, apartment complexes, and business owners. Our impound services are fast, legal, and fully documented with proper signage compliance. We can set up ongoing contracts for regular patrol and enforcement of your parking policies.
How do I request a voluntary repossession tow?
Call us at (740) 812-9489 or use our SOS Emergency form on our website. We provide discreet, professional voluntary repossession towing for lenders and vehicle owners throughout Central Ohio. All voluntary repos are handled with care and full documentation for your records.
What is the difference between wheel lift and flatbed towing?
Wheel lift towing uses a hydraulic mechanism to lift either the front or rear wheels of your vehicle off the ground, while the other set of wheels rolls on the road. Flatbed towing loads your entire vehicle onto a flat platform truck. We use dollies when needed to protect all four wheels. Our dispatch team will determine the best method based on your vehicle type and situation.
Do you accept insurance for towing services?
Yes, we work with most major insurance companies and roadside assistance programs. If your insurance covers towing, we can often bill them directly. Have your insurance information ready when you call, and our dispatch team will help coordinate the process.
What is fleet contract towing?
Fleet contract towing is a service designed for businesses that operate vehicle fleets — dealerships, rental car companies, logistics firms, and municipal agencies. We offer contracted rates, priority dispatch, dedicated account management, and monthly billing. Contact us to discuss a custom fleet towing agreement tailored to your business needs.
How does police towing work?
We are an authorized police towing provider working with local law enforcement agencies across Central Ohio. When police request a tow for accident scenes, abandoned vehicles, or impounded vehicles, our team responds quickly with proper documentation and chain-of-custody procedures to meet all legal requirements.
What is auction towing?
Auction towing involves transporting vehicles to and from auto auctions, including dealer auctions, government surplus auctions, and insurance salvage auctions. We handle all types of vehicles — running or not — and provide reliable, scheduled transport to auction facilities throughout Ohio.
What should I do if I'm locked out of my car?
Call us at (740) 812-9489 immediately. Our trained technicians can safely unlock most vehicle makes and models without damaging your car. We carry professional lockout tools and can typically get you back in your vehicle within minutes of arrival.
Can you deliver fuel if I run out of gas?
Yes, we offer emergency fuel delivery service. If you run out of gas on the road, call us and we will bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station. This service is available 24/7 across our entire Central Ohio service area.
Do you change flat tires?
Yes, our tire change service includes mounting your spare tire so you can get back on the road quickly. If you don't have a spare, we can tow your vehicle to the nearest tire shop. We handle all vehicle types and tire sizes.

How much does a tow cost in Columbus?
Towing costs vary depending on the type of service, distance, vehicle size, and time of day. We offer competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Call (740) 812-9489 for a quick quote — our dispatch team can provide an estimate before we send a truck.
Can you tow a Tesla or other electric vehicle?
Yes. Every EV we move rides on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground, which is what Tesla, Rivian, Ford and GM require: an EV has no true neutral, so towing it with wheels rolling can damage the drive unit. If the 12V battery is dead we can jump it so the car goes into transport mode, and we can take it to the Tesla Service Center at Easton, a partner shop, your home charger or the nearest Supercharger. Details on our EV & Tesla towing page.
Do you tow motorcycles, RVs, or commercial vehicles?
We tow standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, trucks, vans, and motorcycles. Our wheel lift and flatbed trucks can handle most light and medium-duty vehicles. For specific vehicle types or sizes, call our dispatch team at (740) 812-9489 to confirm we have the right equipment available.
How do I set up a commercial towing account?
Contact us at (740) 812-9489 or email dispatch@columbusroadsidetowing.com to discuss commercial account options. We offer fleet contracts, property management impound agreements, dealership transport services, and custom billing arrangements tailored to your business needs.
