The parking garage problem
You call a tow and the truck shows up, then can't get past the entrance bar. It happens all the time in downtown Omaha, around the Old Market, at hospital and medical-center garages, at airport parking, and under apartment buildings. Getting a car out of a garage takes different equipment than towing it down the street.
How we get cars out of garages
- Tell us the clearanceIt's posted on the sign or bar at the entrance. A photo of it helps a lot.
- Low-profile equipment goes inCompact low-profile units and wheel dollies fit under low bars and through tight ramps.
- Out to street levelThe vehicle is moved down the ramps to the street without anyone driving it.
- Onto the tow truckAt street level it's loaded onto a tow truck and taken where you choose.

Won't start, flat or locked?
Sometimes you don't need a tow at all. A jump start, flat tire change or lockout service can often be done right in the garage stall, with a smaller vehicle that fits under the bar.
