Junk and Non-Running Vehicle Removal in Columbus

A car that no longer runs takes up a parking space, collects tickets or HOA letters, and gets harder to move the longer it sits. Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc removes junk and non-running vehicles from driveways, garages, backyards, parking lots and rental properties across Columbus and Central Ohio.

The process starts with a call. Tell dispatch the year, make and model, where the vehicle is, and its condition: whether it rolls, whether the tires hold air, whether keys are available and how the truck can reach it. The dispatcher quotes the job and gives you a pickup time that works for you.

Non-running vehicles are what we do every day. Our drivers carry winches, go-jacks and skates for cars that cannot be driven onto the truck, including vehicles with flat tires or locked wheels, and a flatbed carries the vehicle without dragging it across your yard or driveway.

Landlords, property managers and businesses use the same service to clear vehicles that have been left behind. If a vehicle on private property does not belong to you, ask dispatch about the rules that apply before removal, and see our private-property impound service for lots with posted signage.

Frequently asked questions

Do you remove junk cars in Columbus?

Yes. Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc removes junk and non-running vehicles across Columbus and Central Ohio. Call (740) 812-9489 with the year, make, model and location, and dispatch will quote the job.

How much does junk car removal cost, or will you pay for my car?

Dispatch quotes each job based on the vehicle, its condition and where it is. Call with the details and you will get the quote before a pickup is scheduled.

Can you remove a car that will not roll or has flat tires?

Yes. Drivers carry winches, go-jacks and skates for vehicles that cannot be driven or rolled onto the truck, including cars with flat tires or locked wheels.

Can you get a car out of a backyard or garage?

Usually. Describe how the truck can reach the car, including gate widths, slopes and garage clearance, and dispatch will plan the pickup. A winch can pull a car out to where the truck can load it.

What do I need to have ready?

The year, make and model, the vehicle's location and condition, and access to it at the pickup time. Dispatch will tell you anything else needed for your vehicle when you call.

Can a landlord or business remove a car left on its property?

Ask dispatch about your situation before removal, since the rules depend on who owns the vehicle and where it is. Lots with posted towing signs can use our private-property impound service.

How soon can you pick it up?

Junk car removal is scheduled rather than an emergency call. Dispatch gives you a pickup time when you call and confirms it before the driver comes.

Do you remove junk trucks, vans and SUVs too?

Yes. Junk and non-running pickups, vans and SUVs are removed the same way as cars. Give dispatch the year, make, model and condition, and the quote and pickup plan will fit the vehicle.

Can you take more than one junk vehicle from the same property?

Yes. Tell dispatch how many vehicles there are, what they are and where each one sits, and we will quote the job and schedule the pickups so the property is cleared in as few trips as possible.
