Confirm the current operator of the downtown deck
Winston-Salem's current off-street parking page lists the 6th/Cherry/Trade deck and separately states that the deck at 4th and Church streets is no longer city-owned or city-operated. Confirm the operator for the facility you used before asking about gates, permission or collection arrangements. An older map's ownership label may no longer apply.
Off-Street Parking | City of Winston-Salem, NC
The city's parking guide distinguishes decks and lots from metered, paystation and time-restricted street spaces. Give the facility name or actual curbside crossing first, then the floor or row and current restrictions. A parking guide helps identify the setting but does not establish clearance, present access or authorization for roadside work.

Details to have ready
- Exact deck, surface lot or street and crossing
- Vehicle entrance, level or row and posted restrictions
- Current facility operator and any access permission already discussed
Ten service categories to discuss
Light-duty towing
For a passenger car that cannot continue, give the year, make, model, keys and intended destination. Explain whether it rolls, steers and brakes, and mention collision damage, low clearance, modifications or all-wheel drive. Ask for the vehicle, pickup access and towing method to be checked before agreeing to transport. For the 4th/Church deck, confirm its current operator instead of assuming the city controls access.
Battery jump starts
Describe what happens when you try to start the vehicle, including clicking, lights or warning messages. Identify gasoline, diesel, hybrid or electric power. A no-start symptom is not a confirmed battery diagnosis. Ask whether a jump-start assessment is suitable and what the next step and charge would be if it does not start. Give the deck name and level along with the symptoms so attendance can be assessed.
Flat tire assistance
Say which tire is affected, whether more than one is damaged and whether a usable spare and wheel-lock key are available. Share details already known without standing near traffic to inspect the vehicle. Ask whether an on-site change is appropriate or transport is needed; replacement tires and puncture repairs must be confirmed separately.
Vehicle lockouts
Explain whether the key is inside, lost or not being recognized, and give the make, model and year. Be ready to establish your authority to request access. Ask whether that vehicle can be assessed for entry. Replacement keys, electronic programming and access to a secured building are separate matters.
Emergency fuel
Give the required fuel type and explain why you suspect an empty tank. Report a suspected leak, wrong fuel or another fault before discussing delivery. Confirm whether fuel assistance is appropriate at the actual pickup, the quantity and total charge. A fuel request does not guarantee that the vehicle will restart.
Motorcycle towing
Provide the motorcycle model, approximate size, damage and whether it rolls. Mention a sidecar, luggage or other attachments and identify the receiving location. Ask for motorcycle-specific handling and access to be assessed. A general car-towing inquiry does not establish the right equipment or loading arrangement for a motorcycle.
Winch-out
Describe the vehicle position, surface, obstacles and known damage from a safe place. Mention a ditch, slope, soft ground, water or property-access restriction if relevant. Recovery requires a site and equipment assessment. Do not choose an attachment point or attempt a recovery based on this page.
EV towing
Identify the exact electric vehicle model and distinguish low charge from damage, a warning or another fault. Say whether it is still connected to charging equipment or cannot enter its usual transport mode. Ask for manufacturer-appropriate handling to be confirmed. Mobile charging and high-voltage battery repair are not established by a towing request.
Medium-duty towing
For a larger van or work truck, provide its class, dimensions, loaded condition and any trailer or mounted equipment. State the pickup entrance and proposed destination. Ask whether suitable capacity, equipment and a route can be confirmed. Light-duty suitability does not establish medium-duty capability.
Motor Clubs, Insurance & Fleets
Have the case reference, vehicle identifier and authorized organization contact ready. Say whether assistance is already assigned. Check the club, insurer or fleet approval process before starting a separate request. Confirm who authorizes and pays for the work; network participation, direct billing and reimbursement cannot be assumed. Record the actual facility contact, especially where older parking materials name a different operator.
Can I rely on an old city guide for the deck operator?
Check the current facility information. Winston-Salem specifically notes that the 4th/Church deck is no longer city-operated, so confirm who controls access before arranging attendance.
Before you agree to assistance
Before accepting assistance, confirm the scope of work, the total quote and how distance, access, waiting or an unsuccessful attempt could affect it. If towing is proposed, check that the destination can receive the vehicle. Tell the call handler about assistance already requested so arrangements can be clarified.
