Memorial Drive carries the same 10-foot arch clearances Storrow does, which is why a rented box truck gets peeled open by the river most September 1sts. We work those. The quieter version is a car dead three levels down in a Kendall Square lab garage, where the ceiling won't clear a boom — that's a winch-out onto a low rig, not a hook and go.
Alewife Brook Parkway and Fresh Pond Parkway send us most of the rush-hour crash calls. Cambridgeport and Riverside are a different headache: one-way streets barely wider than a Civic, where one disabled car holds up everyone behind it. Around Harvard and Central, lockouts and jump starts are a race against a private lot that tows fast.
Permit-only blocks and private-lot tows in Cambridge
My car was towed from a permit spot near Porter Square. Can you help?
Once it's released, we'll transport it wherever it needs to go. The release itself runs through whoever hooked it — the sign in the lot names that company, so start there.
Can you reach a car in an East Cambridge garage?
Usually. Tell us the posted clearance height and the level it's on when you call, and we'll send equipment that fits instead of a truck that has to turn around at the entrance.
