Tow truck & roadside
in City Island.

What we see in City Island

City Island has one road in and one road out — the City Island Bridge. When something goes wrong on the island, the wrong tow approach causes traffic backups on the bridge. We dispatch trucks sized for the bridge and the narrow side streets (Bay Street, Fordham Street, Minneford Avenue), and we know which restaurant lots have low overhangs that exclude full-size flatbeds.

Most calls we get here are dead batteries from beachgoers leaving lights on during long visits, lockouts in restaurant lots after dinner, and flat tires from the narrow shoulders. The marinas and yacht clubs see specialty calls — towing boat trailers, recovering vehicles that have backed into trouble on slick ramps.

If you're stuck on the bridge itself, call (646) 792-9092 immediately — the Throgs Neck dispatch can have a truck on-scene before the bridge backs up significantly.
