Accident Recovery
In an accident? Vehicle undrivable? You can choose any towing company you like. By law, your insurance company cannot dictate which towing company or which autobody shop you have to use.
We work with all local autobody shops in the area. We can tow your vehicle to the facility of your choice. Once your vehicle is at the repair shop you can receive an estimate of the repairs from the shop for your insurance company.
Being in an accident is a stressful situation, we know. Call us and we will at least try to make the situation less stressful by taking care of your vehicle’s cleanup and transportation.
Flat tire? We can often change it on the sport, getting you back on the road within a very short period of time. Dead battery? No worries, we can get your battery up and running again in no time and get your vehicle started.
Fuel Delivery
Did you run out of gas? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us. Call us for emergency gas delivery, we’ll provide you with enough fuel to get you to the gas station and back on your way, with no judgement.
Don’t despair or towing service? it’s not uncommon for modern vehicles to run out of gas, we still see it often. We’ve all had that gas gage that suddenly stopped working. If it appears that you have gas on the gage but you think you’ve run out, we can test your tank to determine the level before proceeding to add to the fuel. It could be something else. If your car simply stalled on the side of the road, and the gage says you have fuel, it could be a faulty fuel pump, clogged fuel injectors or even plugs, coils, or ignition wires.
If this is the case, we can safely tow your vehicle to a reputable service station or your local dealership for evaluation. If your car is new or leased, this repair will most likely be under the manufacturer’s warrantee.
With the price of gas these days many people are pushing the limits of their tanks. Sometimes the gage isn’t as accurate as you might hope. Often people are able to get to a destination, say the supermarket for example, but then after sitting in the parking lot, the car many not start. This can be caused by vapor lock in the fuel system. Once the vehicle is partially warmed up and then shut down, they system can fail.

Vehicle Breakdown Service
We aren’t just a flatbed towing service provider; our drivers are also trained mechanics as well. If we can get your car up and running without towing it, we will!
Overheating vehicle? We can bring fluids to provide temporary relief, providing there are no holes in the system. We can pressure test your heating system and help determine on the spot, what the best situation and fix is. The repair and solution will be up to you, and more importantly, you determine the shop to you want our towing service to take your vehicle to. We are not affiliated with one particular automotive repair shop, we are independent and independent towing company, so you don’t have to worry that we’ll try to steer you to a particular location.

What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down
If possible, get to the side of the road. If you have a flat tire or you know you ran out of gas call us immediately, we will respond quickly. While you wait for us, (which we promise won’t be long) remain in the vehicle. If you are on the side of the road or highway get to an area where you are not in the flow of traffic or possible danger. The Long Island Expressway and the local parkways have a lot of traffic (understatement) so making sure that you are safely away from the vehicle is very important. You can stay with the vehicle, but we recommend you stay off the road away from danger. Remember, material things can be replaced, you can’t.
We Can Tow Anything
Towing isn’t the same anymore. Your car isn’t the same back-wheel drive manual transmission vehicle that you can simply have towed… Front wheels up car in natural. We are a flatbed towing facility- which means we have flatbed tow trucks on hand that will take all four wheels off the ground when transporting your vehicle. With the advent of all-wheel-drive and four-wheel drive cars, SUV’s and trucks, vehicle driveshafts and transmissions have gotten more complex. Towing one of these vehicles and allowing the wheels to spin could cause the gears to wear faster than they should. Modern day automatic electronic transmission systems need to be handled with care. The system isn’t set up to have the wheels spinning from the tires, this is putting backpressure on the transmission, drivetrain and electronic and mechanical components. Also, if the vehicle isn’t running when the wheels are turning, the fluids aren’t lubricating the joints, which can also create issues and ultimately shorten the life of your drivetrain.
Even short distances, without using a flatbed, can be bad for your system. We recommend using a flatbed, no matter what the situation or the car. Our flatbed service is available to all vehicles, even large SUV’s and pickup trucks. Rest assured we can safely flatbed and recover ANY vehicle and transport it to the destination of your choosing, yes, even large trucks.
Other Vehicle Towing
We tow other vehicles besides cars, truck and SUV’s. For example, we have special equipment to transport and tow motorcycles. If you are having trouble with your bike, we can help recover and transport it to anywhere. Our special lift will safely and carefully lift your motorcycle, foreign or domestic, up onto our truck for easy and safe transportation. Bringing your bike out the Hamptons? Don’t want to ride it out there? Just want to enjoy the beaches view without the hassle of riding on the Long Island Expressway? We got you. Call us for information about special transpiration to the East End.
