BK Towing is based at 258 3rd Ave in Park Slope — the middle of the borough, not a dispatch lot an hour away. That means our flatbeds and wheel-lift wreckers reach most Brooklyn neighborhoods in 15 to 25 minutes, day or night. Accident recovery, collision towing, junk car removal, jump starts, lockouts and winch-outs around the clock — including nights, weekends and holidays.
929-606-6310Our dispatchers know Brooklyn traffic patterns and route around the bottlenecks instead of sitting in them. Arrival ranges below are what we actually quote — not marketing numbers.
A large share of our emergency calls come from the BQE (I-278), the Belt Parkway, the Prospect Expressway, Atlantic Avenue, Ocean Parkway and the Gowanus Expressway approach to the Verrazzano. Shoulder recoveries on these roads are dangerous work — our drivers set cones and flares, position the truck as a shield, and load fast so you spend as little time as possible exposed to traffic.
You call 929-606-6310 and a live dispatcher takes your location, vehicle type and the problem. We confirm an ETA, the driver texts on approach, sets out cones and flares if you are in traffic, documents the vehicle with timestamped photos, loads it damage-free with soft straps or wheel nets, and delivers it to your body shop, storage yard or home with an itemized receipt.
Many Brooklyn calls end without a tow at all. We carry the gear to fix the common problems on the spot.
After a collision we work directly with Allstate, GEICO, Travelers and Progressive. Give us your carrier and claim number and we send the invoice, scene photos and tow documentation straight to the adjuster, so in most covered cases you pay nothing on scene. You always have the right to choose your own repair shop in New York — we take your car where you want it, not where a random tow driver insists.
We buy unwanted, totaled and non-running vehicles anywhere in Brooklyn, pay cash on the spot, tow it away the same day and issue a proper bill of sale so the vehicle is off your name and out of your parking spot. Cars that haven't moved in years, no keys, flat tires — all fine.
If the NYPD or a marshal towed your car, it's likely at a Brooklyn tow pound. Call us before you go: we can often retrieve the vehicle and deliver it to you, and if it's not worth the combined impound and storage fees, we'll buy it from you for cash instead.
Average arrival is 15 to 25 minutes across most of the borough. Calls near Park Slope, Gowanus and Downtown Brooklyn are usually on the faster end — often under 15 minutes — while Coney Island, Canarsie and far east Brooklyn can run slightly longer during rush hour. Dispatch gives you a live ETA when you call.
Local Brooklyn tows are priced as a hook fee plus mileage, and recoveries or winch-outs cost more depending on the situation. We quote the complete price on the phone before a truck rolls — the number we give you is the number you pay.
Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. There is no separate after-hours number — call 929-606-6310 any time.
Yes. We use wheel-lift wreckers and dollies for tight brownstone blocks, low-clearance garages and bumper-to-bumper street parking where a flatbed cannot maneuver. Tell dispatch you're in a garage so we send the right truck.
Wherever you choose — your own mechanic, an insurer-recommended body shop, a storage yard or your home address. In New York you are free to pick the repair shop, and we deliver anywhere in Brooklyn, Staten Island or Manhattan.
Yes. If it was a city tow, it's likely at a Brooklyn tow pound — call us and we can often retrieve and deliver it for you. If it was towed from private property, call us with the location and we'll help you figure out who has it.
Yes. Our flatbeds handle motorcycles, sprinter vans and light commercial vehicles alongside standard cars and SUVs.
Often, yes. We work directly with Allstate, GEICO, Travelers and Progressive on covered collision tows, and for roadside reimbursement policies we provide the itemized invoice your insurer requires. Call us first and we'll tell you what your carrier typically covers.
