We offer complete auto repair shop services for NYC drivers:
A dead battery can stop your day instantly, but RT Towing NYC's professional jump start service gets you moving again in minutes. Our technicians arrive with commercial-grade jump boxes and proper cables to safely jump-start any vehicle from compact cars to heavy-duty trucks. We don't just connect cables and leave—we test your battery's condition, check charging system performance, inspect connections for corrosion, and provide honest recommendations about whether you need a new battery or if the existing one will hold a charge. Our jump start service includes enough charging time to ensure your vehicle won't die again immediately, plus guidance on reaching repair facilities safely if replacement is needed. We respond 24/7 throughout all five NYC boroughs, bringing reliable jump start service to parking garages, street parking, parking lots, driveways, and anywhere else dead batteries leave you stranded.
Flat tires are one of the most common roadside emergencies, and our professional tire change service handles them quickly and safely. RT Towing NYC technicians properly jack your vehicle, remove damaged tires, install your spare tire with correct torque specifications, and check spare tire pressure to ensure safe driving. We work in all conditions—rain, NYC traffic, tight parking spots, busy streets—using proper safety equipment and procedures. If your spare is also flat, missing, or you have multiple flat tires, we coordinate towing to nearby tire shops. Our tire change service includes inspection of the damaged tire to identify punctures, sidewall damage, or other issues, plus recommendations on repair versus replacement. We serve all vehicle types including cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
Locked keys in your car? RT Towing NYC provides professional automotive lockout service that gets you back inside your vehicle quickly without damage. Our trained technicians use specialized tools and proven techniques to unlock car doors safely, protecting paint, weather stripping, and electronic components. We handle lockouts for all vehicle makes and models including modern cars with advanced security systems. Our lockout service is faster and often more affordable than calling a locksmith, and we're available 24/7 throughout all NYC boroughs. We arrive prepared with the proper equipment, verify ownership before unlocking, and get you back in your vehicle typically within minutes of arrival. Don't break a window or damage your car trying DIY methods—call RT Towing NYC for professional lockout service that works without harming your vehicle.
Running out of gas is embarrassing and inconvenient, but RT Towing NYC's fuel delivery service solves the problem quickly without judgment. We bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station, delivered in approved containers that meet safety regulations. Our fuel delivery service is available 24/7 throughout all five boroughs, responding to highways, city streets, parking lots, and residential areas. We carry regular unleaded gasoline and can coordinate diesel delivery when needed. Our technicians ensure fuel is added safely, check for any issues that might have caused your vehicle to run out unexpectedly, and verify your vehicle starts and runs properly before leaving. Fuel delivery is often faster and always more convenient than walking to find gas stations in NYC, especially in unfamiliar neighborhoods or during late hours when safety is a concern.
When jump-starts won't help because your battery has failed completely, RT Towing NYC provides on-site battery replacement service that gets you back on the road immediately. Our mobile units carry quality replacement batteries for most vehicle makes and models, eliminating the need for towing to repair shops. We test your existing battery and charging system to confirm replacement is necessary, then install the correct battery for your vehicle with proper terminal cleaning and secure mounting. Our battery replacement service includes disposal of your old battery according to environmental regulations, warranty information on your new battery, and testing to verify your charging system works properly. We stock batteries for cars, SUVs, trucks, and many commercial vehicles, providing same-visit solutions for dead battery emergencies throughout NYC. Don't wait hours for a tow truck and shop visit—we replace batteries on-site and get you moving quickly.
RT Towing NYC handles basic auto repair services that don't require extensive shop equipment, bringing mobile repair capabilities directly to your location. Our basic repair services include belt and hose replacement, minor coolant system repairs, spark plug replacement, air filter changes, fluid top-offs, fuse replacement, minor electrical repairs, wiper blade installation, and other common maintenance and repair needs. We arrive with tools, diagnostic equipment, and common replacement parts to resolve issues on-site when possible. For repairs requiring specialized equipment or extensive work, we provide honest assessments and can tow your vehicle to quality repair facilities.

Why Choose RT Towing NYC?
We Know NYC Like Nobody Else
Our drivers aren't just familiar with NYC—they live and work here. They know that the FDR Drive backs up southbound every afternoon, so they'll take the West Side Highway instead. They know the shortcuts through Astoria when the BQE is a parking lot. They know which streets in Manhattan allow commercial vehicles and which ones will get us stuck or ticketed.
This local knowledge matters when you're waiting on the side of the road. We don't rely on GPS alone—we use real-time traffic monitoring combined with years of experience navigating this city's streets. We know how to maneuver large tow trucks through narrow Brooklyn streets, tight Manhattan garages, and challenging loading situations throughout all five boroughs.
We've also handled every type of recovery situation NYC throws at us. Vehicles stuck in underground parking garages with low ceilings, cars wedged into impossible street parking spots, motorcycles that need extraction from tight spaces, and commercial trucks broken down in spots where every minute of blocking traffic matters. Experience with NYC's unique challenges makes the difference.
We're Available 24/7—For Real
When we say 24-hour service, we mean you'll reach a real person any time you call. Not an answering machine. Not a call center overseas. Not a service that takes messages and promises someone will call you back. When you call RT Towing at 3 AM on a Tuesday or noon on Christmas Day, you'll talk to someone who can dispatch a truck immediately.
I've heard too many stories from customers who called other "24-hour" towing companies only to reach voicemail or be put on hold indefinitely. Car problems don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our dispatch operates around the clock with multiple trucks available to handle NYC's constant demand for towing services.
Honest Pricing Without Games
We quote the price before we dispatch. That means you know what you're paying before our truck even leaves. When we arrive, the price doesn't magically increase because of "mileage fees" or "special handling charges" that weren't mentioned on the phone. The quote we give you is what you pay.
We're also honest about what you actually need. If roadside assistance will solve your problem for less money than towing, we'll tell you. If your car can be driven to a repair shop after a minor fix, we'll let you know instead of insisting on an expensive tow. We're building a business based on trust and repeat customers, not maximizing profit on every single call.
Many insurance policies include towing coverage. If yours does, we work with all major insurance companies and can usually bill them directly. Just let us know when you call and we'll handle the paperwork.
Complete NYC Coverage
We serve all five boroughs—Manhattan from the Financial District to Harlem, Brooklyn from Williamsburg to Bay Ridge, Queens from Astoria to Far Rockaway, the Bronx from Riverdale to Throgs Neck, and all of Staten Island. We know these areas because we work here every day.
We're positioned throughout NYC to keep response times fast no matter where you need help.

POPULAR QUESTIONS
Get Answers to Your Questions
What happens if your car is towed in NYC?
If your car is towed by the city for parking violations, you'll need to check the NYC towed vehicle locator online or call 311 to find which impound lot holds your vehicle. For breakdowns or accidents requiring Emergency Towing, RT Towing NYC transports your vehicle to your preferred repair shop or secure location. We provide clear documentation and communicate the destination before transport begins.
How much is the maximum distance allowed between towing and towed vehicles?
When flat-towing (towing with all four wheels on the ground), most jurisdictions require the towed vehicle to remain within 15 feet of the towing vehicle. RT Towing NYC primarily uses Flatbed Towing and wheel-lift methods, which safely secure your vehicle on or against our truck, eliminating distance concerns and providing safer transport through NYC traffic.
What is the maximum amount you can tow?
Towing capacity depends on the tow truck classification. Our Light Duty Towing trucks handle standard passenger vehicles up to 10,000 pounds, while our Heavy Duty Towing equipment manages commercial trucks, buses, and vehicles weighing up to 75,000 pounds or more. We dispatch the appropriate truck based on your vehicle's specifications.
How do you calculate towing limits?
Towing limits are calculated using your vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) minus its curb weight, which equals available towing capacity. You must also consider tongue weight (10-15% of trailer weight) and ensure your vehicle has the proper hitch rating. When you call RT Towing NYC, our dispatch team asks about your vehicle type to ensure we send appropriately equipped trucks.
What is the max tow rate?
Towing rates in NYC vary based on vehicle size, distance, and service type. Local Towing within the five boroughs typically costs less than Long Distance Towing to destinations outside the city. RT Towing NYC provides upfront pricing before service begins—call (929) 556-2687 for an accurate quote based on your specific situation and location.
Who to call to tow a car in NYC?
For reliable 24 Hour Towing service anywhere in NYC's five boroughs, call RT Towing NYC at (929) 556-2687. We respond to breakdowns, accidents, lockouts, and roadside emergencies around the clock. Whether you need Motorcycle Towing, Accident Recovery, or Winch Out Service from a difficult position, our dispatch team connects you with the nearest available truck for fast response.
How many types of tow trucks are there?
There are four main types of tow trucks: flatbed (the safest option for most vehicles), wheel-lift or hook-and-chain (for quick short-distance tows), integrated or boom trucks (for heavy-duty commercial vehicles), and specialized carriers for motorcycles. RT Towing NYC operates multiple truck types to handle everything from Motorcycle Towing and standard passenger vehicles to Heavy Duty Towing for commercial trucks, ensuring we use the right equipment for safe transport.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Client Says About Us
"My car died on the FDR Drive around midnight on a Saturday. I was terrified sitting on the shoulder with traffic flying by. RT Towing answered immediately, told me to get out of the car and wait safely, and had a truck there in 25 minutes. The driver was professional, got my car loaded quickly, and delivered it to my mechanic in Astoria. The price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Highly recommend them for emergency situations."
Sarah K., Astoria
"I've lived in New York for 15 years and have dealt with several towing companies. RT Towing is by far the best. They towed my BMW on a flatbed from Tribeca to a body shop in Jersey City after a minor accident. The driver was careful with the car, communicated clearly, and even helped me deal with the parking garage attendant who was being difficult. Professional operation all around."
Marcus L., Tribeca
"Our delivery truck broke down on the Grand Central Parkway during morning rush hour. Complete nightmare scenario. RT Towing coordinated with highway patrol, got our truck loaded and off the highway quickly, and towed it to our fleet maintenance facility in Long Island City. Their heavy-duty operator knew exactly what he was doing. We've added them to our approved vendor list."
