about
Tow Pound
Since 1989, McGann & Chester has provided vehicle towing and storage services to the City of Pittsburgh. During those three decades of service, we have established very good working relationships with City officials, as well as Emergency Responders.
Benefits of our towing and storage services include, but are not limited to:
- Our ten-acre lot is located within the City, just minutes from Downtown
- Our facilities and lot are located near the intersection of two major arteries - West Liberty Avenue and Saw Mill Run Boulevard (PA Route 51) - within the City, and is easily accessible via many modes of transportation, including private car, taxi cabs, Uber and other car services, Port Authority buses, and the T.
- Our lot is fully developed and operational as a motor vehicle storage and impound facility, with lighting, fences, and a state-of-the-art security system already in operation.
- We have an experienced staff in place, and currently operate our facility 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
- We have ample equipment readily available to move vehicles upon request
- In more than eleven years of operation of the current tow pound for the City, we have been more than able to suitably accommodate all types and sizes of vehicles in the ample space required for such an endeavor
McGann & Chester, LLC has proven itself to be the best-qualified and most well-equipped organization in the City to provide excellent vehicle towing, storage, and related services.
We also have an indoor storage shed for vehicles that need to be held for Police processing. If a vehicle is towed and needs to be inspected at a later time, we can hold it without damage from inclement weather.
23 ½ HOUR SERVICE
One of the most asked questions is why our trucks say 23 ½ Hour service. Well, we were called to an accident up on Interstate 80. That was out of our general service area for accidents. However, they said that we were the 3rd company to be called and that the other two could not get the vehicle out. McGann & Chester headed out and 23 ½ hours later they pulled back into the yard with the wrecked vehicle! If you take a look closely at the side of the trucks, you can see where it still said 24 Hour Service. McGann & Chester was from then on the home of 23 ½ Hour Service!!
