Roadside Help · Center City, PA

Roadside Assistance in Center City, PA.

Roadside assistance for Center City drivers, dispatched 24/7 by crews who run this metro every day. Many calls on this line are a dead battery, a flat tire, an empty tank or a locked key, not a full tow. A roadside call can get you back on the road and can cost less than a full tow.

Center City: Downtown is where the Parking Authority, not the police, does most of the towing, so a missing car has often been booted, towed to a PPA lot or relocated for street work rather than stolen.
