About First Ward, and What a Call From Here Looks Like

First Ward is a Buffalo neighborhood on South Buffalo. South Buffalo as the city council defines it runs West Seneca to the east, Lackawanna to the south, Lake Erie to the west, the Buffalo River to the north, with Cazenovia Park, South Park and the Botanical Gardens, the Small Boat Harbor and Gallagher Beach the landmarks everyone gives directions by.

First Ward sits where the lake wind arrives first, and the calls follow the season: batteries in December, buried cars in January, pothole flats by March. The streets are a grid of two-sided parking off a few long commercial runs, with the parks and the river at the edges. A flatbed fits most of the main roads; the side streets in winter are wheel-lift territory. South Buffalo as the city defines it runs from the Buffalo River down to the Lackawanna line, between West Seneca and the lake.

The Streets and Places Where First Ward Cars Get Left

The calls come off South Park Avenue and the side streets between them. A car in a lot by the parks or the harbor is a different load from one at the kerb; say which.

Property work here comes from the Buffalo River waterfront: the battery that died while someone was inside, the lockout at the far end of a lot, the car that will not start in a space it cannot be pushed out of. Each is a flat-price call where the car stays where it is.

Every one of those streets has its own page under streets we tow on, with the areas it runs through and the calls we take most on it.

Getting a Truck to You in First Ward

South Buffalo's long commercial runs and the roads round the parks take a flatbed easily. The residential grid between them parks both sides, and in winter the berm at the kerb makes the side streets wheel-lift territory. Lots by the parks and the harbor are open and easy; a car at the end of a dead-end street by the river is the one to describe carefully.

What to tell us when you call from First Ward: the nearest cross street or a pin, for example where you are on South Park Avenue. What the car is, because an all-wheel-drive car needs a flatbed and a front-wheel-drive car does not. What it is doing: dead, flat, locked, stuck or wrecked. And where it needs to go, if it needs to go anywhere. From those four answers we tell you which call it is and quote it before the truck is sent.

Who Calls From First Ward, and What They Usually Need

The calls from here are the battery that went on the first cold morning, the car slid into the berm at the kerb in January, the pothole flat on a side street in March, and the car that will not start in a lot by the park. Most of them stay where they are; the rest ride a few miles.

Stuck in First Ward Right Now? Four Things, in Order

1. Get safe. Out of the travel lane if the car will push, hazards on. In the car if it is cold and the spot is safe; out and away from it if it is not.
2. Work out which call it is. One click and dim lights is a jump start. Keys visible inside is a lockout. A flat with a spare is a tire change. Buried or off the shoulder is a winch-out. Anything that has to move is a tow.
3. Call or text (716) 277-7012 with the cross street or a pin, what the car is, what it is doing, and where it is going. You hear the number before the truck is sent.
4. Check the number. A tow is $160 plus $7 a loaded mile. A roadside call is the flat price above. If you hear anything else, ask why.
