- 01What should I do when my car breaks down in Philadelphia?Get your car out of traffic if you can, turn on your hazard lights, move yourself away from moving lanes, then call for help.
- 02Is there 24/7 towing in Northeast Philadelphia?Yes. O’Hara & Sons Towing in Northeast Philadelphia is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights and weekends.
- 03How much does towing cost in Philadelphia?The price of a tow depends on the job, so there is no single number that fits every tow.
- 04How do I find and get my car back if it was towed in Philadelphia?First work out who moved your car, because who towed it decides where it is and how you get it back.
- 05What should I do after a car accident when my car needs a tow?After a crash, check for injuries, get to a safe place, and call 911 if anyone is hurt or the car cannot be driven.
- 06Do I need a flatbed tow, or will any tow truck do?A flatbed is the safest choice when a car cannot roll freely, sits low, has damage, or is all-wheel drive. For an ordinary car with working wheels, other equipment can be fine.
- 07My car won’t start. What should I do?If your lights are dim or the car only clicks, the battery is the most common cause, and a safe jump-start may get you going.
- 08How does private-property towing work in Philadelphia?In Philadelphia, a car can be towed from a private lot or driveway only by a licensed towing company that has the property owner’s written permission, only if a required sign is posted, and, in most cases, only after the vehicle has been ticketed.
- 09What information should I give a tow truck dispatcher?Tell the dispatcher where you are, what the vehicle is, what is wrong, where it needs to go, and how to reach you.
- 10How do I get a motorcycle towed safely?Tell the dispatcher it is a motorcycle, give the make and model, and say whether it rolls, steers and stands up.
