Atlanta Parking Garage Breakdown: The Guide to Getting Towed Out of a Tight Spot

Atlanta Parking Garage Breakdown: The Guide to Getting Towed Out of a Tight Spot

A car breakdown on a busy street in Atlanta can be frustrating, but becoming stuck in a deep parking garage is a whole other level of aggravation. With low ceilings, tight ramps, and poor visibility, this is a very difficult place to become unstuck.

If your car has breathed its last in a concrete jungle, do not worry. First Place Towing Service Atlanta is a pro in such tricky situations. Here’s your step-by-step guide to dealing with a parking garage car breakdown in a efficient and safe manner.

Step 1: Secure Your Position

Parking lots can be very congested, both during working hours and at night. Your main objective is to park in a way that will not put you or others in harm’s way

• Turn on your hazard lights right away.
• If you can, pull as close to the wall or column as you safely can to keep your lane of trafficopen.
• Do not try to push your car up sloped ramps by yourself—it will be very dangerous.
• Remain in your locked car until you see smoke or flames.

Step 2: Clear the Path (With Management Help)

Towing a car from a controlled access area involves organization.

• Contact the Garage or Building Security/Management: Use a call box in a location accessible from an elevator or dial a number posted on your ticket. Tell them you have a disabled vehicle and need a tow.
• Inquire about Clearance: Can you please inquire if they have any height restrictions (maybe 6’7″, 7’0″), and if they have a gate code or if they will need an escort. This information is very important for us.
• Note Your Exact Location: Record your level number (P1, P2, 4th Floor) and location in relation to a distinct feature such as “near blue column labeled D4” or “next to stairway exit.”
