FAQs — Third Avenue Bridge
How fast can a tow truck reach me on the Third Avenue Bridge?
Typical arrival on the Third Avenue Bridge is 20-40 minutes from dispatch. We stage trucks in all five boroughs, so the closest yard rolls — not a national chain handing the call off three times before someone heads your way. If you're inside a tolled facility or a tunnel, dispatch coordinates with MTA Bridges & Tunnels or the Port Authority on protocol so we get cleared in to your spot.
Do you handle stranded vehicles on the bridge or tunnel itself?
Yes. On any toll facility (Verrazzano, Throgs Neck, Whitestone, GWB, Lincoln, Holland, Queens-Midtown, Hugh L. Carey, etc.) we follow the MTA or Port Authority tow protocol. That usually means the agency tow assesses first, and a private wrecker — us — can be authorized for the dispatch you actually want (your shop, your dealer, your driveway). Call as soon as you're safely off the live lane. One rate every time: $249/hour, 1-hour minimum, $25 off when you book online.
What does it cost to get help on the Third Avenue Bridge?
Same rate as every other call: $249/hour, 1-hour minimum, half-hour increments after. Book online instead of calling and the first hour is $224 — $25 off, no catches. No NYC surcharge, no after-hours markup, no toll-facility surcharge, no storage fees on same-day drops. The number you hear on the phone is the number on the receipt.
