45-25 36th Street, Long Island City, NY 11101

We tow in Manhattan from 8 AM to 8 PM, every day. If your vehicle needs repair, the same truck that reaches you takes it to our Long Island City shop, and once the work is finished we tow it back to an address you choose in Manhattan.

Towing in Manhattan, 8 AM to 8 PM Daily

Breaking down in Manhattan leaves you with very few options. You cannot leave a car on most avenues, a disabled vehicle in the Queens-Midtown Tunnel or on the FDR Drive has to move immediately, and parking garages will not accept a car that will not run. Our towing and the shop both run from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, every day of the year.

We tow throughout Manhattan, from Battery Park to Inwood, out of underground garages with tight clearances, off the West Side Highway, and away from the bridge and tunnel approaches where stopping is not an option. Because we tow to our own Long Island City shop, your car is not sitting in a third-party yard accruing storage fees while you arrange the repair.

Roadside help is often enough on its own: a jump start, a lockout, a flat swapped for the spare, or fuel delivered. Call (212) 629-1028 and tell us the cross streets and whether the car is in a garage, on the street, or on a highway shoulder. That determines which truck we send.

When would I need a tow truck?

If you get into an accident and cant drive you vehicle anymore, you will need a Tow Truck to get it towed to the closest Collision Repair and Auto Body Shop shop.

Also, if you get locked out of your car, have a flat, need a boost to your car battery, low on gas or just get stuck someplace. Call us today at (212) 629-1028 for a free no obligation estimate.

Our fully stocked Tow Truck is here to assist you from 8 AM to 8 PM every day.

Our Tow Trucks serve all of Manhattan (NYC).

WHY OUR TOW TRUCKS?

We are endorsed by AAA, Cross Country, GE, Road America and other major motor clubs, so in many cases your existing roadside cover can be used directly for a tow to our shop.

That matters more in Manhattan than elsewhere. A disabled car on the FDR Drive, in a tunnel approach or in an underground garage cannot simply be left while you arrange things. It has to move, usually immediately, and often with low clearance to work around.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your towing hours?

Our towing runs from 8 AM to 8 PM, every day of the year. The shop keeps the same hours.

Call us if the car will not start, has broken down where stopping is not permitted, is unsafe to drive, or has been in a collision. In Manhattan that last category often includes cars that are technically drivable but should not be driven: a bent wheel or a leaking cooling system is worth a tow rather than a second failure mid-crossing.

Response times vary based on location and traffic, but we strive to reach you as quickly as possible whenever you call, especially in emergencies.

Yes. Passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks and vans. Low-clearance vehicles and cars parked in tight Manhattan garages need the right equipment, so mention the situation when you call and we will send a suitable truck.

Yes. Our roadside assistance covers situations like lockouts, vehicles stuck off the road, and other non-driving emergencies in addition to towing.

Can one call cover both the tow and the repair?

Most towing ends with the vehicle somewhere inconvenient and the owner starting a secondprocess to get it repaired. Because we are a repair shop as well as a towing operation, therecovery and the repair are the same job. The truck brings the car to our own shop, we assessit, and we bring it back to you afterwards.

That matters most in the situations where people are least able to organise anything: abreakdown in a tunnel approach, a collision on a bridge, or a car that will not start in agarage at the end of the evening.

What should I tell you when I call for a tow?

If the car is blocking a lane or sitting somewhere it will be ticketed, say so when youcall and we will prioritise it accordingly.

What happens after my car is towed to the shop?

Once the vehicle is at the shop we assess it and tell you what it needs before any workstarts. If the fault is minor we will say so rather than turning a recovery into a repair.When the work is done, the same service runs in reverse and we bring the car back to anaddress you choose in Manhattan.

Do I need a tow or roadside assistance?

If the car can be made safe to drive where it stopped, roadside service is usually enough. If it cannot, or driving it would be unsafe, it needs a tow.

SituationWhat it usually needs
Dead battery, car otherwise fineA jump start at the roadside
Flat tire and a usable spareA tire change at the roadside
Keys locked inside the carA lockout service at the roadside
Car will not start even after a jumpA tow to a shop for diagnosis
Brake, steering or overheating warningA tow; driving on can make the damage worse
Accident damage or leaking fluidsA tow, usually on a flatbed
