24/7 Towing in Staten Island, NY

BK Towing is a Brooklyn-based towing company that serves drivers throughout Staten Island, NY, 24 hours a day. Dead battery in the St. George ferry lot, a collision on the Staten Island Expressway, an all-wheel-drive car that can only travel on a flatbed, or a junk car that needs to leave your driveway today — one phone call reaches a live dispatcher and a licensed, insured truck. Emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident recovery and roadside assistance, every day of the year.

24/7 Towing Services in Staten Island

Our trucks run islandwide from our yard at 258 3rd Ave in Brooklyn, crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to reach Staten Island calls around the clock. We are not a lead-selling call center: the person who answers the phone is the person who sends the truck, tells you what it will cost, and stays reachable until the driver is with you. That matters most at 2am, when your options narrow to whoever actually picks up. Car towing for sedans and SUVs, light commercial towing for vans and box trucks, motorcycle transport on the flat deck, and the roadside work that ends without a tow at all — it all comes from the same dispatch line. If you would rather not sit on hold, our online dispatch request takes your location, vehicle and problem in about a minute, and gives you a tracking code so you can follow the truck.

  • Live dispatch 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays
  • Licensed and insured operators — never a subcontracted stranger
  • Full price quoted on the phone before a truck leaves the yard
  • Flatbeds and wheel-lifts, so the right truck shows up the first time
  • Direct billing with Allstate, GEICO, Travelers and Progressive on most covered collision tows

Emergency Tow Truck Service

An emergency tow is any call where the vehicle cannot safely stay where it is: a crash on the Staten Island Expressway, a blown transmission in the right lane of the West Shore, a car stalled on a bridge approach, or a vehicle blocking a driveway or bus stop. Those calls get priority dispatch. Tell us whether anyone is in the vehicle, whether police or EMS are already on scene, and which direction of travel you are facing — that single detail decides which ramp our driver uses and can cut ten minutes off the arrival. While you wait, stay belted in with hazards on if traffic is moving fast around you, or get well behind the guardrail if you are outside the vehicle. If NYPD has already called a rotation tow, tell the officer you have your own towing company on the way; in most non-impound situations you are allowed to choose who tows your car and where it goes.

Roadside Assistance in Staten Island

Plenty of Staten Island calls never need the truck bed. Roadside assistance is the faster, cheaper fix when the car itself is fine and one system has failed, and we carry the tools to finish those jobs on the spot rather than hauling a healthy vehicle to a shop. If the repair is beyond a roadside fix — a shredded sidewall with no spare, a starter that will not turn over — we switch to a tow on the same visit instead of sending a second truck.

  • Jump starts and battery boosts in driveways, ferry lots and the Staten Island Mall garages
  • Flat tire assistance: spare installs, and a tow when there is no usable spare on board
  • Fuel delivery when you run dry on Hylan Blvd, Richmond Ave or the West Shore Expressway
  • Car lockout service with damage-free entry tools and proof of ownership
  • Winch-outs from mud, snow, sand, curbs and soft shoulders

Flatbed Towing

A flatbed is the safest way to move a vehicle that should not roll on its own wheels. All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, lowered and performance cars, electric vehicles, classics, exotics, and anything that will not roll or steer belongs on the flat deck, secured with wheel straps rather than a chain across the body or suspension. Standard front-wheel-drive cars are usually fine on a wheel-lift, which is also what we send for the low-clearance places Staten Island is full of: mall parking decks, ferry-area garages and long narrow driveways where a full-size flatbed simply cannot fit. When you call, tell dispatch the year, make and model and whether you are in a garage, and we will pick the truck for you so the job finishes on the first visit.

Accident Recovery

Accident towing is different work from a routine breakdown tow. Vehicles come to rest against barriers, in medians, down embankments or across multiple lanes, sometimes with fluid on the roadway and a damaged wheel or two. Our trucks carry winch capacity, proper rigging and scene lighting, and our drivers work alongside NYPD and MTA Bridges & Tunnels when a recovery needs a lane held on the Staten Island Expressway, the West Shore, the Korean War Veterans Parkway or a bridge approach. Every collision call comes with a documentation packet — timestamped photos, scene notes, VIN, mileage and an itemized licensed-operator invoice — because that is what your adjuster will ask for. We bill Allstate, GEICO, Travelers and Progressive directly on most covered collision tows, and where a claim has not been opened yet we give you a paid receipt those carriers accept for reimbursement. Vehicle recovery does not stop at the scene: we can drop at your mechanic, a body shop, a storage yard, or across the Verrazzano into Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Junk Car Removal in Staten Island

We buy and remove junk, non-running and totaled vehicles across Staten Island, including cars with no keys, flat tires, expired registration or years of driveway rust. We quote by phone from the year, make, model and condition, pay cash at pickup, tow the car the same day where our schedule allows, and hand you a bill of sale so the vehicle is documented as gone. That paperwork is what protects you later when it is time to surrender the plates and cancel the insurance.

How to Request a Tow

There are two ways to reach us, and both go to the same dispatcher. Call 929-606-6310 and speak to a person, or submit the dispatch request form on our homepage and get a tracking code you can use to follow the truck. Phone is faster when the vehicle is in traffic or anyone is hurt; the form is easier when you are somewhere loud, or arranging a tow for later in the day. Either way you get an honest ETA and a full price before a truck rolls.

What to Tell Dispatch When You Call

Six pieces of information let us send the right truck the first time instead of guessing. Have them ready and the call takes about ninety seconds.

  • Exact location — cross streets, the nearest exit number, or which direction of travel you are facing on the expressway
  • Year, make, model and colour of the vehicle, plus whether it is all-wheel drive or lowered
  • What went wrong: won't start, won't roll, flat tire, locked out, out of fuel, collision
  • Whether the vehicle is in a garage, a tight driveway, or on a highway shoulder
  • Where it needs to go — home, a mechanic, a body shop, or another borough
  • A phone number the driver can reach you on, and your insurance carrier or claim number if it is a collision tow

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide towing in Staten Island 24/7?

Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Overnight calls reach the same live dispatcher and the same trucks as daytime calls; there is no answering service and no callback queue.

How quickly can a tow truck arrive in Staten Island?

Typically 30 to 45 minutes. Our trucks come over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, so bridge traffic is the main variable. North Shore neighborhoods like St. George and Stapleton are usually fastest, while Tottenville and the far South Shore run longer. Dispatch gives you a live ETA on the phone rather than a guess.

Do you tow disabled vehicles that won't start or won't roll?

Yes. A vehicle that will not start, will not roll, or will not steer is routine work — it goes on a flatbed with wheel straps, or gets winched onto the deck if the wheels are locked. Tell dispatch the vehicle will not roll so we send the right truck.

Do you provide accident recovery on Staten Island?

Yes. Collision recovery is core work for us: vehicles against barriers, in medians, down embankments or across lanes on the Staten Island Expressway, West Shore Expressway and bridge approaches. We carry winch capacity, rigging and scene lighting, and we document every collision call for your insurer.

Do you provide roadside assistance as well as towing?

Yes — jump starts, flat tire assistance, fuel delivery, lockouts and winch-outs. If the car can be fixed at the roadside we do that instead of towing it, and if the repair turns out to be beyond a roadside fix we tow on the same visit.

What areas of Staten Island do you serve?

All of it. St. George, Tompkinsville, Stapleton, Clifton, Rosebank, South Beach, Dongan Hills, New Dorp, Oakwood, Todt Hill, Bulls Head, New Springville, Willowbrook, Mariners Harbor, Port Richmond, West Brighton, Travis, Great Kills, Eltingville, Annadale, Huguenot, Prince's Bay, Pleasant Plains, Richmond Valley, Charleston, Rossville and Tottenville, plus every expressway, parkway and bridge approach in between.

Are you based on Staten Island?

No — BK Towing is based in Brooklyn at 258 3rd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215, and we serve Staten Island customers from there around the clock. We do not have a Staten Island yard, which is why we quote bridge travel into the ETA honestly instead of promising times we cannot keep.

How much does towing cost in Staten Island, NY?

A local Staten Island tow is normally a hook fee plus mileage; recoveries, winch work and out-of-borough drops cost more. We quote the full price on the phone before a truck rolls, so there are no surprise charges when we arrive.

Can you tow from Staten Island to Brooklyn, Manhattan or New Jersey?

Yes, every day. Brooklyn and Manhattan drops go over the Verrazzano; New Jersey drops go over the Goethals or Outerbridge. Tolls and mileage are included in the quote we give you before dispatch.

Do you tow motorcycles, vans and light commercial vehicles?

Yes. Our flatbeds handle motorcycles, cargo vans, box trucks and light commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars and SUVs, and we can invoice a fleet directly instead of holding up the driver.
