Accident Towing in Lower West Side: What the Call Involves
After a collision the car goes where you say, not where the truck says. Decide the shop before it is hooked, because storage at a yard you did not choose starts the next morning. A crashed car rides on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground, at the same published price as any other tow, with any recovery to get it back on the road at $199 to book plus $150 an hour from when the driver arrives. We do not work highways, expressways or bridges; if the crash is on one of those, the police rotation handles it. Here is who decides what.
Lower West Side is our own patch. The truck starts at 415 Rhode Island St by Brayton St, so a call here is as close to home as a call gets. The streets are the thing: narrow, parked nose to tail on both sides, and in winter lined with the berm the plow leaves at the kerb. That decides which truck comes before anything else does. A flatbed needs a car-length and a half of straight road behind the car to drop its deck, and on a lot of these blocks that room does not exist, so the wheel-lift is often the only truck that can reach the car at all.
The car goes where you say. accident towing in Lower West Side means the shop you choose, not a yard you did not, with recovery at $199 to book plus $150 an hour from when the driver arrives; a fender-bender in the lot at the Five Points corner is a deck to a body shop, not a rotation yard.

Most accident towing calls out of Lower West Side, Buffalo put us on Rhode Island St, Brayton St, Massachusetts Ave — the roads where cars get left when they stop being drivable, and where a truck can actually get positioned without blocking a lane.
The other half is property work around the Five Points corner. Lots and campuses generate their own kind of call — the battery that died while someone shopped, the lockout at the far end of a lot, the car that will not start in a space it cannot be pushed out of.

Getting a Truck to You in Lower West Side
Getting a truck to you on the West Side is about the space behind the car. If there is a car-length and a half of straight road behind it, a flatbed can drop its deck. If there is not, and on most of these blocks in January there is not, the wheel-lift backs up to the bumper and hooks in a few feet. Alleys, short driveways with a car behind, and lots packed to the fence are all wheel-lift jobs. A photo by text tells us which before the truck leaves.
What to tell us when you call from Lower West Side: the nearest cross street or a pin, for example where you are on Rhode Island St. 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.
