Towing in Ditmas Park
Ditmas Park is the closest neighbourhood to the shop that is genuinely difficult to work in. The Victorian streets between Coney Island Avenue and Ocean Avenue were laid out for carriages, and the tree canopy that makes them beautiful is the single biggest obstacle to getting a flatbed down them.

How fast we reach Ditmas Park.
Minutes away — it starts where Kensington ends, on Coney Island Avenue. Fastest response of any borough. We are based here, so most Brooklyn calls are short runs back to our own shop.
What makes Ditmas Park different.
Not generic advice — these are the things that actually change which truck we send and how we get your car out.
The tree canopy is lower than the truck
Argyle, Rugby, Marlborough, Westminster and Stratford carry a continuous canopy that hangs well below the height of a raised flatbed deck. We do not tilt a deck under those trees. The car comes out on a wheel-lift to Cortelyou or Coney Island Avenue and gets loaded there.
One-way streets that alternate
The named streets run one way and the direction alternates block to block. An approach that looks like two turns on a map is often four, so the cross street you give us matters more here than almost anywhere else we work.
Shared and shallow driveways
Many of the Victorians share a single driveway between two houses, and most are too short to hold a car clear of the sidewalk. If yours is blocked in, that is a winch job from the street rather than a truck coming up the drive.
Cortelyou Road on a weekend
The restaurant stretch of Cortelyou between Argyle and Stratford is congested and heavily curbed from Friday evening onward. We stage on Coney Island Avenue and come in on foot rather than blocking 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 Ditmas Park pickup can be diagnosed and repaired by the same company that towed it — one invoice, no second tow, and nobody blaming the last operator.
