Emergency Towing in the Bronx

A breakdown rarely happens at a good time. Bronx Towing Express dispatches emergency towing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from our yard at 1458 Bruckner Blvd, Bronx, NY. Call (646) 846-0602 and tell dispatch where you are.

When to call for emergency towing

• Your car will not start or shuts off in traffic.
• You have been in a collision and the car is not safe to drive. See our accident recovery towing page.
• Warning lights, smoke, a burning smell or a grinding noise tell you to stop driving.
• A flat or damaged wheel leaves the car stuck on the street.

Stalled on the Bruckner, Cross Bronx or Major Deegan

The Bruckner Expressway, the Cross Bronx Expressway and the Major Deegan carry fast, heavy traffic with narrow shoulders. If your car stalls on one of them, try to coast to the shoulder or the next exit. Turn on your hazard lights. Tell dispatch the road, the direction you were heading and the nearest exit or landmark so the driver can find you.

If anyone is hurt, there is a fire, or you are stopped in a live lane on a highway, call 911 first.

What to do while you wait

• Stay buckled in with hazards on if you are on a highway shoulder and it is not safe to get out.
• If you do get out, exit away from traffic and stand behind a barrier or well off the road.
• Keep your phone on and charged if you can, so dispatch can reach you.
• Have your keys, registration and the drop-off address ready.

Flatbed towing when it matters

Some cars should not be towed on their wheels, including all-wheel-drive vehicles, low cars and cars with collision damage. We can send a flatbed tow truck so the vehicle rides fully off the ground.

Where we can take your car

We can tow to your home, a repair shop or another address you choose in the Bronx or elsewhere in NYC. Tell dispatch the destination when you call or in your online request.
