About Riverside, and What a Call From Here Looks Like

Riverside is a neighborhood in the northwestern part of the city along the Niagara River, directly north of Black Rock. Its edges run Vulcan Street along the northern edge at the Town of Tonawanda line. It is where the Black Rock & Riverside Tour of Gardens happens, which means lots and side streets that fill up and empty out in an evening.

Riverside calls are a mix of the two things North Buffalo does: residential driveways and the commercial strips that run through it. A dead battery in a driveway at seven in the morning and a lockout outside a storefront at seven in the evening are the bread and butter, with winch-outs on the side streets once the bands come through. The streets are wider than the West Side and most of them take a flatbed without trouble, but the side streets off the strips still park both sides in winter.

The Streets and Places Where Riverside Cars Get Left

Most calls put the truck on Niagara Street, Tonawanda Street, Ontario Street and Vulcan Street, either on the strip itself or on the residential blocks just off it. Say which, because a car in a driveway and a car at a meter are loaded differently.

Property work here comes from Riverside Park, All Saints Roman Catholic Church, the Riverside Institute of Technology and Public School No. 60: 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 Riverside

North Buffalo's main roads take a flatbed without trouble, and the driveways are mostly long enough for a wheel-lift to back straight in. The side streets off the strips are the exception in winter, parked both sides with a berm at the kerb, and there the wheel-lift is the truck. Lots behind the storefronts are tight and a car at the back of one may need a neighbour moved.

What to tell us when you call from Riverside: the nearest cross street or a pin, for example where you are on Tonawanda Street. 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 Riverside, and What They Usually Need

The calls from here are the driveway no-start at seven in the morning, the lockout outside a storefront at seven in the evening, the car on a side street after a band that the plow has not reached, and the student's car with a flat and no spare. Half of them are a jump, a lockout or a tire change where the car sits.

Stuck in Riverside 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.
