How do you tow a car from a parking garage?

My Chevy Malibu is stuck between two other cars in a parking garage. How can I get it out?

“What a mess! Parking garages can be tricky, especially when you have no idea who owns the other cars! That said, you have a few options for getting your car out of the garage.
If you want to try to move it on your own, grab a friend or family member who has a truck and have them tow you out.
Don’t have a friend with a truck? Try putting the car in neutral and have a friend help you push it out. Keep in mind power steering won’t work, so be prepared for some elbow grease on those turns!
If you don’t mind paying for some help, you can utilize roadside assistance services if you have
AAA
or
towing and labor coverage
through your
car insurance
company. Many towing services have smaller trucks in their fleet that can navigate parking garages’ clearance.
If you don’t currently have a roadside assistance membership, consider adding one for these types of sticky situations and emergencies.

Best of luck!”
