Specialized Parking Garage Vehicle Recovery

When a vehicle breaks down inside a parking garage, standard tow trucks are too tall to enter. Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc operates specialized low-clearance recovery equipment designed specifically for multi-level parking structures, underground garages, and low-overhang facilities.

Our parking garage recovery team handles dead batteries, flat tires, lockouts, and complete breakdowns inside multi-level structures using low-clearance equipment sized for most parking garages. We use compact wheel-lift units, portable jump packs, and go-jacks to recover vehicles without damaging the structure or surrounding cars.

We serve hospital garages, airport parking, university structures, downtown Columbus parking facilities, and shopping center decks throughout the metro area.

How it works

  1. Report the Breakdown: Call us with the garage name, level number, and approximate location. Describe the vehicle issue if known.
  2. Equipment Selection: We dispatch the appropriate low-clearance unit based on your garage specifications and vehicle situation.
  3. On-Site Assessment: Our operator evaluates whether the issue can be resolved in the garage (jump start, tire change) or requires towing out.
  4. Recovery or Repair: We either fix the problem on-site or carefully extract the vehicle from the structure for transport to a repair facility.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get a tow truck into a parking garage?

Standard tow trucks are too tall for most garages. We use low-clearance equipment sized for most parking structures — tell us the posted clearance when you call and we will confirm before dispatching.

What if my car just needs a jump start in the garage?

We carry portable jump packs and can often resolve dead battery issues on-site without towing. This is faster and cheaper than a full tow.

How do you get a non-running car out of a garage?

We use go-jacks, wheel dollies, and compact wheel-lift equipment to move non-running vehicles through tight garage lanes and down ramps safely.

Do you work with hospital and university garages?

Yes. We recover vehicles from hospital, university, and downtown garages regularly, and facility operators can set up an account with us for priority response.

Will you damage the parking structure?

No. Our operators are trained in structure-safe techniques and use equipment specifically sized for garage environments. We are fully insured for garage operations.

How much does parking garage recovery cost?

Pricing depends on the service needed. On-site repairs (jump starts, lockouts) are standard rates. Full extraction and towing may include a garage recovery surcharge.
