Towing in Brighton Beach
Brighton Beach is where our own avenue ends. Coney Island Avenue runs from the shop to the boardwalk, which makes the route here the simplest one we drive, and then the neighborhood itself is one of the hardest to work in, because its main street lives entirely underneath a subway line.

How fast we reach Brighton Beach.
Straight down Coney Island Avenue to its end, about twenty minutes. Fastest response of any borough. We are based here, so most Brooklyn calls are short runs back to our own shop.
What makes Brighton Beach different.
Not generic advice. These are the things that actually change which truck we send and how we get your car out.
Brighton Beach Avenue is under the el, end to end
The B and Q run above the avenue for its entire length. Between the columns, the bus stops and the deliveries, there is nowhere on the avenue to raise a flatbed deck and rarely anywhere to stop a truck at all. We take these calls with the wheel-lift, hook from the traffic side, and bring the car out to Neptune Avenue or one of the numbered Brighton streets before anything else happens.
The Belt and Ocean Parkway on a beach day
On a hot weekend the Ocean Parkway exit off the Belt backs up onto the parkway itself, and the service roads fill with circling parkers. A breakdown on that ramp is a lane closure in slow traffic. Call from behind the barrier, give us the direction you were travelling, and we will come to the ramp from Ocean Parkway rather than joining the queue on the Belt.
Salt water and heavy rain
This is a low, coastal neighborhood that flooded badly in Sandy and still pools in a hard rain. A car that has sat in salt water is not a jump-start: do not turn the key. Tell us it was in water and we bring a flatbed, keep it off its wheels, and get it onto a lift where it can be checked before anyone tries to start it.

And it can go straight into our own bay.
Most tows end at a yard where a stranger looks at your car whenever they get to it. Our shop is at 619 Coney Island Avenue, so a Brighton Beach pickup can be diagnosed and repaired by the same company that towed it: one invoice, no second tow, and nobody blaming the last operator.
