Roadside Assistance & Mobile Tire Service in Center City Philadelphia
Dense traffic, garages, narrow streets and limited parking can make a vehicle problem especially inconvenient in Center City. Easy To Plug provides roadside assistance and mobile tire service for drivers dealing with breakdowns throughout the downtown area.
Between Broad Street, Market Street, the grid around Logan Square, Washington Square and Old City, and the parking garages that serve office towers and condo buildings, a flat tire or dead battery downtown often means blocking a travel lane, a loading zone, or a garage aisle rather than sitting safely on a shoulder.
We come to you wherever the vehicle actually is — a metered spot, a parking garage level, or a stalled lane near an intersection — so you're not trying to move a disabled car through downtown traffic yourself.

Driving and Parking Downtown
Center City's grid — bounded roughly by the two rivers, with Broad Street and Market Street as the main crossing arteries — is built for foot traffic and transit as much as cars. Metered spaces, loading zones, and multi-level parking garages are the norm, and double-parking is common during peak hours. A disabled vehicle here often needs to be dealt with quickly to avoid blocking traffic or a garage lane.
Flats from Curbs, Potholes and Steel Grates
Tight turns onto narrow one-way streets, steel construction plates, and curb strikes while parallel parking are common causes of sidewall damage and slow leaks in Center City. A tire that goes flat in a garage or at a meter needs to be dealt with fast so you can move the vehicle.
Mobile Tire Repair can fix a repairable puncture on scene. When the tire is beyond repair, Mobile Tire Replacement brings a new or used tire to wherever you're parked, quoted separately from the service charge. If your own spare is usable, a Tire Change gets you moving in the shortest time.
Dead Batteries in Parking Garages
Vehicles that sit for days in a Center City garage while their owner commutes by transit are prone to battery drain. A Jump Start in a garage is quick and doesn't require moving the car out of its space. If the battery is old or won't hold a charge after the jump, Mobile Battery Replacement installs a new one on the spot.

Getting Help Without Blocking Traffic
If your vehicle stalls in a travel lane on a street like Market or Chestnut, try to coast to the nearest legal parking spot, loading zone or garage entrance rather than waiting in the lane. If you're in a parking garage, pull as far to the side of the aisle as possible and let us know the level and space number when you call.
Staying Safe While You Wait
If you're stopped in a travel lane, keep your hazard lights on and stay out of the roadway. In a garage, stay near your vehicle but out of the drive aisle where other cars are moving. Downtown traffic and pedestrian volume make it important to wait somewhere visible but out of the way.
