24/7 Towing & Roadside Assistance in Galloway

Galloway is the unincorporated west-side community around Galloway Road and Sullivant Avenue in Prairie Township, though its 43119 mailing area spreads much wider, from the Westland area near I-270 out toward Big Darby Creek. It is close to home for us: the yard on Harrisburg Pike is a few miles east, so a truck typically arrives in 15–30 minutes. Calls here are driveway dead batteries in the subdivisions, lockouts at the schools and the stores on Broad Street, breakdowns on I-70 and I-270, and cars that slid off the rural roads near Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a tow truck take to reach Galloway?

Usually 15–30 minutes. The driver leaves the Harrisburg Pike yard and heads west on local roads or along I-270 and Broad Street, depending on where you are in the 43119 area. Galloway addresses spread a long way west, so tell dispatch the nearest crossroad, such as Galloway Road and Sullivant Avenue or Alkire Road, and the name of your subdivision if you live in one. Roads past the subdivisions have few streetlights, so at night turn on a porch light or your flashers and the driver will find you on the first pass.

What does a Galloway tow cost?

The same published rate card covers Galloway as everywhere else: $4 a mile en-route from the yard, a $125 hook-up and $7 per loaded mile. A jump start, lockout or tire change is a flat $75 plus the en-route miles, and a slide-off that needs winching is billed at $150 an hour. The surcharges are $75 on I-70 or I-270, $50 on weekends and $150 from 10PM to 6AM. Galloway is in Franklin County, so Franklin County sales tax is added. The dispatcher reads you the total before the truck leaves, or you can build an online quote.

Who do I call if my car was towed or someone is blocking me in Galloway?

It depends on the address. Galloway is not its own city: most of it is unincorporated Prairie Township, while some 43119 addresses fall inside Columbus city limits, and each side has a different law enforcement agency. For a car blocking a public road, call the non-emergency line for your area, or 911 if it is a hazard, and the call is routed to the right agency. If your own car vanished from a private lot, read the tow-away sign at the entrance, which names the company that took it. When that sign names us, dispatch can tell you where the car is.

I broke down on I-70 near Galloway. What should I do?

Get onto the right shoulder as far as you can, switch on the hazards and stay buckled in while traffic passes. If the car is stuck in a live lane or anyone is hurt, call 911 first. Then call us and give your direction and the last exit you passed: exit 91 at Hilliard-Rome Road and the I-270 interchange are the landmarks most drivers know. Interstate pickups carry the $75 highway charge, and a flatbed is the usual truck because it loads quickly and keeps the driver clear of the lanes.

Can you reach my car at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park?

Yes. The park's main address is 1775 Darby Creek Drive, and the Nature Center, with its bison pastures and viewing platform, is at 1415 Darby Creek Drive, roughly five miles west of I-270 off Broad Street. The park is large and its parking areas are spread out, so name the lot or trailhead you parked at when you call. A dead battery is handled with a jump start right in the space. If the car has to leave, the driver loads it in the lot and takes it home or to a shop, and you can ride along with your phone charged.

My car won't start after a game at Westland High School. Can you help?

Yes. Westland High School is at 146 Galloway Road, and Friday-night games and school events leave a lot of cars sitting for hours on cold evenings. Call with the lot you are in and the entrance you used off Galloway Road, and wait inside the building or your car rather than in the drive lane. A jump costs $75 plus en-route miles with a battery test included, and locked keys are the same flat rate through our lockout service. If the car still will not go, the driver tows it home or to the repair shop you pick.

Can a tow truck get into my Galloway subdivision driveway?

Almost always. Neighborhoods such as Galloway Ridge have newer streets, standard driveways and attached garages, which suit either a flatbed or a wheel-lift truck. If the car is inside the garage with a dead battery, the driver can jump it where it sits or winch it to the door before loading. Tell dispatch whether the car is in the garage or on the drive, and move any other cars out of the way if you can. On a narrow street the truck may block traffic for a few minutes while loading, so keep children and pets inside.

Where can I get my car fixed near Galloway?

On the Galloway end of West Broad Street, Columbus Tire & Auto Service is at 6425 W. Broad St., and there is a Mavis at 1640 Holt Road closer to I-270. Neither has any tie to us, so call ahead to check hours and whether they have room for your car today. If you would rather use a shop we work with, our auto repair partners take tows from us, and a repair of $750 or more at one of them can make the tow free. The driver confirms the drop-off address with you before the car is loaded.

Can you pull my car out of a ditch on the rural roads west of Galloway?

Yes. Past the subdivisions, the roads toward Big Darby Creek and the Madison County line run between fields with open ditches and soft shoulders, and the first ice of the season always puts a few cars in them. A winch-out is billed at $150 an hour and usually gets the car back on the pavement without a tow. The driver looks it over before you drive off, and if it is not safe, the same truck takes it to a shop. Tell dispatch whether the car is upright and how far it is off the road, and call 911 first if anyone is hurt.
