Understanding the situation
Many failed call-outs come from underestimated height or an unmanaged barrier. SkyRoute Auto asks for these details before committing the equipment.
Photos of the entrance, the height sign, and the level number speed up the quote . Say if the vehicle is stalled in a narrow aisle.
A common job in Annemasse , border Geneva , Annecy and Genevois residences.
If access is impossible for the vehicle we need, we say so clearly and suggest an alternative.
What should I do?
- Note the posted maximum height
- Have a badge / intercom / caretaker contact ready
- Photos of the ramp and the vehicle
- Call SkyRoute Auto with these details

Underground: height decides the equipment
An under-deck car park is not “an extra breakdown”: it is often the main constraint. Curved ramps, bollards, disabled bays, bike stores: SkyRoute Auto asks for the posted height, photos of the entrance and a way to open the barrier before committing a flatbed.
If the required vehicle will not fit, we say so before departure rather than improvising in an aisle. Frequent jobs in Annemasse , cross-border Geneva , Annecy and Genevois residences. A manoeuvring surcharge is possible: it is stated on the quote .
Who attends, and from where
SkyRoute Auto is an independent breakdown, towing and transport provider, based at 74 bis Route d’Étrembières, 74100 Annemasse , France. For breakdown in an underground car park, the call comes through on a local number (06 82 96 40 84): not a national switchboard promising “20 minutes anywhere in France”. The slot we give depends on traffic, weather, access (surface, underground, snow) and the distance from Annemasse .
We remain outside insurers’ official networks. You can appoint us for breakdown in an underground car park, obtain an invoice, then submit the file to your roadside assistance: any reimbursement depends solely on your policy. Keep the case number if one already exists.
On a motorway or expressway, the initial recovery remains the approved circuit (SOS phone or 112, dispatch may be via sos-auto-moto.fr). SkyRoute Auto then handles repatriation or transport to a garage, home or Switzerland — see our motorway procedure . In town, a car park or a residence, you call us directly.
What we need for a useful quote
To handle breakdown in an underground car park without a second trip: exact address (street, car park, floor, badge / intercom), make and model, manual or automatic gearbox, whether the vehicle still rolls, the destination you want, photos of the access and of the vehicle. Mention a high-voltage pack (hybrid / electric), a motorcycle, a van or a prestige car: the equipment is not the same.
Hours: 24/7 subject to availability, including weekends and bank holidays. Life-threatening emergency or a blocked carriageway: prefer a phone call. Planned transport: online quote . Base rates inc. VAT (daytime, straightforward access, Genevois): car breakdown recovery 99 € – 139 €, car towing 169 € – 209 € — more distant communes, Switzerland, night work and difficult access are surcharged; see our pricing page.
