What sets the service apart
In the city that never sleeps, you need a towing company that will be there when you need them. A1 Towing NYC offers towing to New York City residents in all five boroughs (Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island). With our partnerships with AAA, All State, and many other major insurance companies, we are able to offer elite towing services to anyone in need of roadside assistance. We provide traditional hook and chain towing, flat bed towing, wheel lift towing, boom towing (if your vehicle is stuck in a ditch), and integrated towing.
What we do and how it works
In the event that your car is totaled, we offer traditional hook and chain towing services in order to save you, and your insurance company, time and money. We typically use this type of towing service when a car is totaled. This is because this type of towing technique will place stress on your vehicle since the hook is placed on the frame of your vehicle from the back which can cause the vehicle to become misaligned and even damaged. However, this towing service is sufficient for any car that is no longer functional to be transported to a junk shop, body shop, and a location of your choosing. If you choose to get rid of your vehicle, we will transport your car to a junk shop so that the vehicle can be disposed of properly, in a safe manner.
Why customers call us
Flatbed towing is the most common method of towing offered by roadside assistance companies. This is because it does not cause your car any additional damage or strain. The vehicle is loaded onto the flatbed, strapped in, and then transported to a destination of your choice. We also offer our customer’s the option to transport their vehicle to one of our repair shops and place your vehicle as a top priority to help get you back on the road fast. You can also call us to ask about our car rental services at 212 695 3157. You can also click here, to learn more about Flatbed Towing in Manhattan NY and how it works.
What to expect on the day
Wheel lift towing is done by placing a metal yoke (shaped like a “T”) under either the front or back tires of your vehicle. What makes this method different from using a hook and chain towing truck is that the vehicle is only being lifted by the wheels, not by the axles or the frame of your vehicle. This method of towing is more cost effective than flatbed towing, however, it will still cause some minor cosmetic damage to your vehicle by adding additional scratches and paint scrapes depending on how the operator places your vehicle into the metal yoke.
How we handle the job
Boom towing is reserved for retrieving a vehicle that is stuck in a ditch or is in a location that cannot be reached by a conventional tow truck. Today, boom tow trucks use a combination of rubber slings or belt lifts in order to attach to the vehicle and bring it safely back onto the road.
Our approach
Integrated towing combines a boom tow truck with a wheel lift, metal “T” axis. They are used by the NYPD in order to move a car that is parked illegally. So the next time you see that a commercial parking lot has a partnership with a towing company, you can remember that the types of trucks that are deployed to move unlawfully parked cars are similar to our integrated towing trucks.
What a tow actually costs, and what moves the number
Four things set the price and none of them are negotiable once the truck is moving, which is exactly why they are worth settling on the phone.
- Distance. Not straight-line distance but the route the truck has to take. Crossing a bridge or a tunnel adds tolls and time.
- The hour. Overnight and holiday rates differ, and so does traffic, which is the same thing in a different currency.
- Equipment. A flatbed costs more than a wheel-lift because the truck costs more and the load takes longer.
- Whether it rolls. A car that rolls onto the bed under its own weight is a cheaper job than one that must be winched, skated or dollied.
Get all four answered before dispatch. An operator who will not price it until they are standing next to your car is telling you something.
What to do while you wait for the truck
More people are hurt at the roadside after a breakdown than during it, and almost all of it is avoidable.
- Get out of the vehicle if you are in a live lane, and stand behind a barrier. A car in traffic is not a place of safety, whatever it feels like.
- Hazard lights on immediately, and turn the wheels away from traffic if the vehicle is on a slope.
- Do not attempt a tire change on a city highway. There is no shoulder worth the name on most of them.
- Take photographs before anything moves, especially after a collision. It costs a minute and is the best evidence you will ever get.
- Empty the vehicle of documents, keys, medication and anything you will want in the next few days.
The mistakes that cost people money
Letting the vehicle go to an unnamed yard. Storage accrues daily and you did not choose the yard. Name a shop or an address before it moves.
Accepting the wrong equipment. A wheel-lift under an all-wheel-drive car is cheaper on the invoice and can cost a transfer case. So is a standard bed under something low.
Not photographing anything. Once the vehicles are moved, the scene is gone, and after a collision that evidence is the difference between a straightforward claim and an argument.
Booking on price alone. The cheapest quote frequently belongs to the operator who has not yet asked what the vehicle is.
