# Quick Tow Philadelphia > Towing and roadside assistance across the Philadelphia metro: Philadelphia County plus Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks and Chester counties. Flatbed, wheel-lift, heavy-duty, motorcycle, RV, long-distance, accident recovery, roadside assistance, junk car removal, private-property guidance and exotic/classic car transport. Quick Tow Philadelphia is a referral service: its line takes calls 24/7 in English and Spanish and matches drivers with independent local tow operators. It does not own trucks, it does not perform the work, and it holds no PUC Certificate of Public Convenience and no PennDOT towing registration. Quick Tow Philadelphia covers 98 places across 7 named regions: Center City & South Philadelphia, North & Northeast Philadelphia, West & Northwest Philadelphia, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Bucks County and Chester County. Every place is in Pennsylvania. Camden County NJ is excluded on purpose. The operators in the network run flatbed, wheel-lift, heavy-duty and specialty tow trucks. The line takes calls 24/7 in English and Spanish. Price quoted on the phone before dispatch, written quotes for long-distance. Call (610) 557-1544, or use the contact form at https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/contact/. Inside Philadelphia the Parking Authority, not the police, runs most city tows. A missing car may have been booted, towed to a PPA lot, or relocated for street work rather than stolen. Check findmytowedcar.org or call 888-591-3636 before reporting it stolen.

Inside the city the Parking Authority runs most parking tows; in the suburbs each municipality runs its own impound. That distinction drives almost every question a driver actually has. Every place below is in Pennsylvania. Camden County NJ was excluded from this build on purpose so that no page ever renders a New Jersey city with a Pennsylvania suffix. ### Center City & South Philadelphia (PPA) Downtown, University City, South Philadelphia and the sports complex. This is where the Parking Authority, not the police, does most of the towing, and a missing car has often been booted, towed to a PPA lot or relocated for street work. - [Center City](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/center-city/) - [Rittenhouse Square](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/rittenhouse-square/) - [Old City](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/old-city/) - [Society Hill](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/society-hill/) - [Washington Square West](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/washington-square-west/) - [Chinatown](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/chinatown/) - [Logan Square](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/logan-square/) - [University City](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/university-city/) - [Graduate Hospital](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/graduate-hospital/) - [Fitler Square](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/fitler-square/) - [Bella Vista](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/bella-vista/) - [Italian Market](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/italian-market/) - [Passyunk Square](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/passyunk-square/) - [Queen Village](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/queen-village/) - [Pennsport](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/pennsport/) - [Point Breeze](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/point-breeze/) - [South Philadelphia](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/south-philadelphia/) - [Sports Complex](https://www.quicktowphiladelphia.com/towing-service-in-philadelphia-pa/sports-complex/) ### North & Northeast Philadelphia (PPA) Kensington, the Roosevelt Boulevard corridor, Fishtown and the far Northeast.

Compiled 2026-09-19 from CITIES_RESEARCH_PHILADELPHIA.md. Figures that could not be confirmed are deliberately NOT here: a passenger-vehicle private-property tow cap, Lot 2 / Lot 4A phones and hours, a complete list of all PPA lots, and the wrong cite 73 P.S. 2321. Do not cite those. - **PPA is the city tow authority.** Unusual: a parking authority, not the police, runs most city tows in Center City, University City and commercial corridors. (Source: philapark.org/enforcement/.) - **PPA publishes its tow and storage fees.** For a vehicle under 11,000 pounds: boot removal $150; tow $175 straight / $225 live stop; storage $25 per 24 hours plus 22.5% tax. Heavier bands cost more. (Source: philapark.org/tow/, 2026-09-19.) - **Boot rule:** 3 or more unpaid parking, red-light or speed-camera tickets, OR $300 or more owed. After the boot is on, 72 hours to pay before a tow. The $175 tow fee applies only once that 72 hours has run. - **Find a towed car:** findmytowedcar.org, 888-591-3636. Snow-emergency tows: (215) 686-SNOW. - **Published PPA lots with phones:** Lot 1, 2501 Weccacoe Ave, (215) 683-9550; Lot 6, 4701 Bath St, (215) 683-9510; Lot 10, 6 E Oregon Ave, (215) 683-9601. Confirm the lot on the lookup. Do not treat this as a complete list of all PPA lots. - **A missing car in Philadelphia has not necessarily been impounded.** Courtesy and relocation tows move legally parked cars for events, utility work, construction and snow. Check the lookup before reporting the vehicle stolen. - **City accident and arrest tows** have run through the AutoReturn/Autura rotational program since 2018. - **Philadelphia Code 9-605:** licensed towers, per-truck certificate, police stolen-check before towing an absent owner's disabled car, written permission for private-property tows, no solicitation. Heavy-vehicle private-property cap: 17,000+ lbs = $360 tow + $75/24h storage. No confirmed passenger-vehicle private-property cap. - **73 P.S. 1971 et seq.** (Towing and Towing Storage Facility Standards Act): post fees and hours, release during posted hours, itemized written charges. 16-mile haul limit without owner or law-enforcement authorization. A violation is a violation of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. The cite is 1971, not 2321. - **Title 75 section 3352:** police removal and lien; municipality may set rates; if unset, storage max $25/day; owner has a right to a hearing. - **Title 75 sections 7301-7308:** police investigate a reported-abandoned vehicle within 5 business days and remove it within 10. After mailed notice, the owner has 30 days to reclaim.

Philadelphia Hispanics are majority Puerto Rican, with a large Dominican share, so the citywide register is Caribbean: carro, grua, el pound. Mexican register in Norristown, South Philadelphia / Italian Market, and Kennett Square. Spanish-priority places include Fairhill, Kensington, Hunting Park, Norristown, South Philadelphia, Frankford, Olney and Kennett Square. Neighborhood-level percentage figures are directional and are not printed here as certified numbers. ## En Espanol (Spanish mirror) The entire site is mirrored in Spanish under `/es/`. Every English URL above has a Spanish equivalent at the same path prefixed with `/es/` (for example `/services/flatbed-towing/` becomes `/es/services/flatbed-towing/`).
