Blocked Driveway Towing in Brooklyn

Someone parked across your driveway or dumped a car in your lot, and you cannot get in or out. We remove those vehicles 24/7 across Brooklyn once the removal is properly authorized — by NYPD for a street driveway, or by you as the owner or manager of private property.

Street driveway: call 311 or NYPD first

A car parked across a curb cut on a public street is a parking violation, and in New York City the vehicle can only be removed after NYPD authorizes it. Report it, then call us — we can be rolling while the paperwork is being handled.

  • Report the blocked driveway to 311 or your local precinct
  • Have your address, the plate number and the car's make and color ready
  • NYPD decides on the summons and authorizes removal
  • We handle the tow itself once removal is approved
  • Keep photos showing the car across your curb cut, with the plate visible

Private lots, driveways and apartment parking

If you own or manage the property — a house driveway on private land, an apartment lot, a body shop yard, a commercial loading area — you can authorize the removal of an unauthorized vehicle directly. We follow New York City's rules for towing from private property, including signage and record-keeping requirements.

  • Owner, managing agent or authorized staff signs off on the removal
  • We photograph the vehicle in place before it moves
  • Plate, VIN, condition and time of removal are all logged
  • Flatbed used for AWD, electric, lowered and non-rolling vehicles
  • Repeat problem lots can set up a standing account with us

Abandoned and derelict cars

A car that has not moved in weeks, has no plates or is stripped is a different problem than a bad park. If it is on your property and you want it gone for good, our junk car service pays cash and takes it off your hands instead of just relocating it.

  • Free pickup for junk, stripped and non-running cars
  • Cash paid on the spot when you have the title
  • Lot cleanouts for shops, garages and buildings
  • Same trucks and same crew as our emergency towing

How fast we get there

Our yard is at 258 3rd Ave in Park Slope, so most of Brooklyn is a short run. Blocked driveway calls are usually not life-threatening emergencies, so we work them around active crash and highway recovery jobs — but you will always get a straight answer on timing when you call.

  • Park Slope, Gowanus, Carroll Gardens: 8–15 minutes
  • Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Downtown Brooklyn: 12–20 minutes
  • Flatbush, Bushwick, Crown Heights: 15–25 minutes
  • Canarsie, East New York, Coney Island: 20–30 minutes

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have a car towed just because it is blocking my driveway?

On a public street, no — not on your own. NYPD has to authorize the removal, which is why you start with 311 or your precinct. On private property that you own or manage, you can authorize the tow yourself.

Who pays for the tow?

For an NYPD-authorized street removal, the vehicle's owner is responsible for the towing and storage fees. For a private property removal, billing depends on the arrangement — we go over it with you before the truck rolls.

How long does the whole process take?

The tow itself is usually 20 to 40 minutes on scene. The wait is almost always the authorization step, not us.

Do you tow at night and on weekends?

Yes. Dispatch is live 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays.

What if the car has been sitting there for months?

If it is on your property, ask us about junk car removal instead — we may pay you cash for it and haul it away permanently.
