Call (740) 812-9489

Eastmoor is an east-side Columbus neighborhood wedged between Bexley and Whitehall, running from East Broad Street south to East Livingston Avenue with East Main Street crossing its middle. It was platted in the 1920s around an existing polo field and filled out again in the 1950s, and the City of Columbus recognizes it as a historic neighborhood. Eastmoor Academy on South Weyant Avenue, whose alumni include Archie Griffin, anchors the area. Our calls here are cold-morning battery failures, lockouts, flats and tows to a trusted shop. Trucks from our Harrisburg Pike yard reach Eastmoor in 20–40 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

How does your truck get from the southwest side to Eastmoor?

It is a straight shot across town. The driver takes I-71 north into its overlap with I-70, follows I-70 east past Driving Park and Berwick, and leaves at exit 105 for James Road, the northbound ramp being 105B. From there James Road leads north toward Livingston Avenue and into the neighborhood. For blocks near the Whitehall side, exit 107 at Hamilton Road can be faster. Give dispatch a cross street such as Weyant Avenue or East Main Street so the driver knows which exit to take.

My car won't start after a game at Eastmoor Academy. Can you come to the stadium?

Yes. The football stadium at Eastmoor Academy, 417 South Weyant Avenue, carries the name of two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin, who graduated from the school. If yours will not turn over when the crowd leaves, call dispatch with the side of the stadium you parked on and the nearest street. Most of these are dead batteries we can jump or replace on the spot, and if keys are locked inside, our lockout service opens the door without damage.

What should I do if my car quits on I-70 between James Road and Hamilton Road?

That stretch feeds the I-270 interchange at exit 108, so pull onto the right shoulder or up the next ramp if the car will still move. Turn on the four-way flashers and remain buckled inside rather than standing next to the car. If you are stranded in a lane, dial 911 first. Afterward, tell our dispatcher your direction and whether you last saw signs for James Road or for Hamilton Road, and a truck will be sent to the right side of the interstate.

Does the LinkUs bus rapid transit project on East Main Street affect service to Eastmoor?

Not yet. The LinkUs plan calls for premium bus rapid transit along East Main Street from Downtown to Reynoldsburg, passing right through the middle of Eastmoor, with construction possibly beginning in 2027 and service by 2029. Once work starts, expect lane closures that can change how a truck approaches your block. For now, the only thing that matters is telling dispatch whether you are north or south of Main Street, because that decides whether the driver comes in from Broad Street or from Livingston Avenue.

A vehicle is blocking my Eastmoor driveway. Who removes it?

On a public street, towing requires an order from the Columbus Division of Police, so call their non-emergency line and ask for an officer to look at the blocked driveway. We are not allowed to haul it away just because a resident asks. Private lots follow different rules. A property owner whose lot displays the signs Ohio law requires, whether a shopping strip on Broad Street or an apartment building, can authorize removal of unauthorized cars through our private-property towing, with each tow recorded.

Where can an Eastmoor tow go, and what should I expect to pay?

We deliver to any shop you name, including garages in neighboring Whitehall, a dealership, one of our partner repair shops or straight home. When you have not picked a shop, the car can sit at our Harrisburg Pike lot for the daily storage rate. The price is calculated from our rate card, and the dispatcher confirms it with you before the driver hooks up. Payment by card or cash is taken after the car is dropped off.
