Free tools for anyone with a car.
Free things we built because the questions came up at the counter often enough to be worth a page. Nothing here asks for an email address.
What we have so far.
Each one runs in the browser or against a public federal database. None of them keeps what you type.
Pages to read, not run.
What the shop gets asked for by name, and the pages built out of New York State's own registration file.
Car Problems & Symptoms
Match a noise, a warning light or a smell to what it usually means, and whether it needs roadside help, a tow, or the shop.
Towing Service Areas
See which boroughs and neighborhoods we dispatch to, and what each one is like to tow in.
Most Popular Cars in NYC
The 25 most-registered car models in New York City, with a page for each borough, counted from the state DMV registration file.
How Many Classic Cars Are Left in NYC
How many vehicles from 1960 to 1989 are still registered across the five boroughs, by decade, by borough, and by make.
NYC Vehicle Directory
Your year, make and model: how many are registered in the five boroughs, what they cost to fuel, which recalls are open, and what owners report to NHTSA.
If there is a check you keep doing by hand before you buy a car or book a repair, email us at nacmiastowing@gmail.com and we will look at building it. The list grows from what people actually ask for, not from what fills a page.
A tool is not a diagnosis.
If the car is making a noise, pulling to one side, or sitting on the shoulder right now, call. Towing runs around the clock and the shop is on Coney Island Avenue.
