Accident and collision towing in Passaic, NJ: call your own tow, keep the car out of the rotation yard, 40 minutes from Linden
The minutes after an accident in Passaic are when the most expensive decision gets made for you unless you make it. Call your own tow, tell the officer it is coming, and keep control of the car and the bill. We arrive from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Accident towing in Passaic, NJ: why drivers call The NJ Towing Service first, 40 minutes from Linden
Accident towing in Passaic means calling your own tow before the police rotation truck so the car goes to your body shop instead of a storage yard; The NJ Towing Service recovers it, clears the lane, photographs it for your insurer and arrives from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Nobody plans a crash near Main Avenue downtown, which is why the tow decision usually gets made by whoever is on scene first. If that is the rotation company, the car sits in their yard at a daily rate until you show up with cash and a release. If it is us, the car is on a flatbed heading to your body shop with an itemized receipt. (908) 444-0129 reaches a dispatcher who sends a truck to Passaic from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and the officer usually holds the scene that long.
A densely packed city of apartment buildings and multi-family homes on the Passaic River, with Main Avenue and Monroe Street as its commercial strips and Route 21 along the river. Street parking is nose-to-tail on every block, older cars are common, and boxed-in vehicles shape every call. That is where the collisions happen, and it is why the driver arrives with the winch rigged, the snatch block ready and boards for a car that will not roll straight.
Beating the rotation tow in Passaic
Before the police decide for you, decide for yourself. As long as no one is injured and traffic can get by, a call to (908) 444-0129 puts a truck on the road to Passaic from Linden, 40 minutes out, and telling the officer so is normally enough to keep the rotation company off the scene. When the car is blocking a lane near Garden State Parkway Exit 154 (Clifton) the officer's hands may be tied; say so on the call and the dispatcher sends the closest truck we have.
Winching a car that will not roll after a Passaic crash
Runs along the river through the city toward Newark and Clifton; no shoulders and fast traffic, so breakdowns block a lane. That kind of crash leaves a car that will not roll, and the recovery is winch work: deck down, cable out, boards under a corner that would dig in, a dolly under a folded wheel. Nothing is dragged. After the load the driver sweeps glass and plastic off the pavement so the officer can reopen Route 21 the moment the truck pulls away.
Photos and a receipt your adjuster accepts
We photograph the vehicle before loading and at drop-off and hand you an itemized receipt with the Passaic pickup location, the destination and the mileage. Collision coverage almost always pays for the tow to a repair shop; if the other driver was at fault, their liability carrier typically reimburses it. The receipt is built to be accepted the first time.
Already at a rotation yard? We get it out the same day
A car already sitting in an impound yard is bleeding money by the day, and the yard's hours rarely match yours. Give us a signed release and we handle the rest: the yard visit, the fees paid on your behalf and itemized, and delivery to the shop you choose in Passaic or wherever it is going. Body shops around Main Avenue downtown and the Downtown / Main Avenue side of town see us on these runs every week.
Waiting for accident towing in Passaic right now? The rest of this page can wait. Dispatch picks up 24/7 and quotes the job before the truck leaves Linden.
Call (908) 444-0129All towing in PassaicAccident scene to body shop in Passaic: what to do, what to say, and how the recovery works
In Passaic the sequence is: safety first, 911 for injuries, (908) 444-0129 with the road and cross street, a word to the officer that your own tow is coming, photos of everything before it moves, your belongings out, and the winch recovery to the shop you named.
Step one: out of traffic, and 911 if anyone is hurt
Get everyone out of the travel lanes and behind something solid; on Route 21 that is the guardrail, in Downtown / Main Avenue it is the curb. Anyone hurt, or a car sitting in a live lane, is a 911 call before anything else. Then dial (908) 444-0129.
Step two: the location, the damage and the destination
Say the spot the way a driver would find it: Route 21 northbound past Garden State Parkway Exit 154 (Clifton), or the corner nearest Main Avenue downtown. Say whether the car rolls and whether a wheel is bent under or fluid is on the ground. Say the make and model, and where the car should end up, even if the answer is "my driveway in Passaic Park for now". The dispatcher quotes it and dispatches from Linden.
Step three: keep the rotation truck off the scene
Say it plainly: "I have a private tow coming, 40 minutes out, and the car is going to my shop." Most officers will release the car to you. If they need it moved immediately, ask whether our truck can take it directly rather than the rotation yard.
Step four: photos, paperwork and your belongings
Shoot everything: each car from all sides, both plates, the intersection or the shoulder, tire marks, the other driver's documents. Then clear the car out. Registration, insurance card, garage opener, the bags in the trunk. The driver is not going to go through your glovebox at a Passaic scene, so do it while the truck is on its way.
Step five: winch, sweep, drop-off, paperwork
The car is winched onto the flatbed, the lane is swept, and the car goes to the destination you named. If the body shop near Main Avenue downtown is closed, we can hold the car overnight and deliver in the morning rather than leaving it on a Passaic street. You get an itemized receipt and the photos on request.
The road, the nearest cross street and the make and model: with those three things the dispatcher quotes accident towing in Passaic on the spot.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of an accident towing call in Passaic: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 40 minutes for the truck to reach Passaic from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes of loading before the car is strapped down and headed to the address you gave.
Nobody who calls us from Passaic has done this before, or does it often. Here is the whole thing in order, so the hour is predictable.
Step one, from Passaic: the call and the four questions
A dispatcher answers (908) 444-0129 at any hour; there is no menu and no callback queue. The questions are the same every time: where exactly is the car (the road, the direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as Garden State Parkway Exit 154 (Clifton), or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If you are not sure exactly where you are in Passaic, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
Minutes one to three: one number, then a truck is assigned
With the location, the vehicle and the destination known, the dispatcher quotes one number. For a tow it is the hook fee plus mileage to the address you gave; the number does not change on scene. Say yes and the nearest available truck is assigned while you are still on the line. You are given an arrival window built from where that truck actually is, not from a slogan. Nothing is charged until the job is done.
About 40 minutes on the road: Linden to Passaic
The route in is Route 21 and Main Avenue, coming off at Garden State Parkway Exit 154 (Clifton). That is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour with clear roads; in snow or a rush-hour backup the dispatcher gives you the real figure instead of a hopeful one. A few minutes before arrival the driver calls so you can spot the right truck and wave him to the car. Take a photo of the car where it sits and note the nearest sign or cross street; it helps the driver find you and it helps later if an insurer asks.
On scene in Passaic: fifteen to twenty minutes to load
On arrival the driver checks your name and where the car is going, takes photos of it as it sits, and sets the truck up for the spot: a city driveway, a curb, a lot at Main Avenue downtown or a parking deck each need a different angle, which is why the dispatcher asked where the car was. Then it is winched or driven up, strapped at all four wheels and photographed again. For an after-hours drop at a shop, the key goes wherever the shop asked. Riding along in the cab is usually fine; mention it on the call.
Afterward: the itemized receipt and the follow-up
The last step is the receipt, sent by text or email with the hook fee, the miles and the two addresses itemized, which is the document an insurer or a roadside plan asks for when you claim it back. If the car needs a second move later, from the shop to home, say, the same dispatch line quotes it as a local tow in Passaic. The whole picture of towing in Passaic is on the Passaic towing page.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Passaic in about 40 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Passaic: accident towing response on Route 21, Main Avenue, Monroe Street / Passaic Street and Paulison Avenue / Lexington Avenue
Route 21, Main Avenue and Monroe Street / Passaic Street carry our trucks from Linden into Passaic, with Garden State Parkway Exit 154 (Clifton) and Route 21 at Monroe Street / Passaic Avenue as the ramps we use, and we answer accident towing calls on all of them; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Passaic. The notes are what they actually know about each one. When you call for accident towing, say the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
Accident towing on Route 21 in Passaic
Runs along the river through the city toward Newark and Clifton; no shoulders and fast traffic, so breakdowns block a lane. After a collision on Route 21, tell the officer a private tow is coming and where the car is going; most will release it to us if we arrive in a reasonable time.
Main Avenue: accident towing response in Passaic
The main commercial street through downtown toward Clifton; buses, double parking and narrow lanes. A wreck on Main Avenue is quoted the same flat way as any Passaic tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Accident towing on Monroe Street / Passaic Street in Passaic
Cross-town commercial streets with tight curbside parking. After a collision on Monroe Street / Passaic Street, tell the officer a private tow is coming and where the car is going; most will release it to us if we arrive in a reasonable time.
Accident towing on Paulison Avenue / Lexington Avenue in Passaic
Residential connectors toward Clifton and the Dundee section. A wreck on Paulison Avenue / Lexington Avenue is quoted the same flat way as any Passaic tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
A breakdown on Garden State Parkway (via Clifton) by Passaic: who works the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
Exits 153 and 154 in Clifton are the nearest ramps. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
The exits our trucks take for Passaic
Our drivers reach Passaic by Garden State Parkway Exit 154 (Clifton) and Route 21 at Monroe Street / Passaic Avenue. A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets the accident towing truck on the right side of the road the first time. For the Turnpike and Parkway express lanes with no exit, the Authority's garage handles the shoulder and we meet the car at the exit.
If you are on the side of Route 21 or any road near Passaic: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in PassaicAccident towing at the places Passaic drivers stop: Monroe Street shopping strip, Main Avenue downtown and St. Mary's General Hospital (Clifton border) and the Passaic station (NJ Transit Main Line) lot
In Passaic the accident towing calls cluster at Monroe Street shopping strip, Main Avenue downtown, St. Mary's General Hospital (Clifton border), Third Ward Park and Dundee Dam and the Passaic River waterfront and Passaic station (NJ Transit Main Line) and NJ Transit bus terminal area on Main Avenue; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Monroe Street shopping strip: accident towing response
Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Monroe Street shopping strip rarely need police, which means there is no rotation truck to race. Photograph both cars, swap details, and a flatbed from Linden carries yours to the shop in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Main Avenue downtown: accident towing response
Parking-lot collisions at Main Avenue downtown are low speed and high damage: bumpers, fenders, a wheel knocked out of line. If the car pulls or scrapes, do not drive it. We reach Main Avenue downtown in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Accident towing when the car stops at St. Mary's General Hospital (Clifton border)
Parking-lot collisions at St. Mary's General Hospital (Clifton border) are low speed and high damage: bumpers, fenders, a wheel knocked out of line. If the car pulls or scrapes, do not drive it. We reach St. Mary's General Hospital (Clifton border) in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Third Ward Park: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Third Ward Park, photograph both cars before either moves, exchange information, and call us. The car goes to your body shop the same day, and the receipt lists the pickup at Third Ward Park for your adjuster.
Accident towing when the car stops at Dundee Dam and the Passaic River waterfront
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Dundee Dam and the Passaic River waterfront in Passaic is a private tow, not a rotation tow, if you call first. Say the lot and the row; the driver knows where the truck can stop.
Passaic Park section: accident towing response
Parking-lot collisions at Passaic Park section are low speed and high damage: bumpers, fenders, a wheel knocked out of line. If the car pulls or scrapes, do not drive it. We reach Passaic Park section in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
The station lots at Passaic station (NJ Transit Main Line) and NJ Transit bus terminal area on Main Avenue: accident towing for commuters
At Passaic station (NJ Transit Main Line) and NJ Transit bus terminal area on Main Avenue the crashes are slow and the damage is real: bumpers, quarter panels, a bent tie rod. If it drives badly, do not drive it; the flatbed takes it to the shop you choose. If the only problem is a battery that died while you were on the train, that is a jump start and a smaller bill.
If you are at one of these Passaic spots now, say which one and where in the lot; accident towing is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in PassaicCollision tows in Passaic: rear-enders, intersections, guardrails, lots and impound yards
The accident tows we run in Passaic are rear-enders at the lights on Route 21, T-bones at the intersections, cars into guardrails and poles along Main Avenue, lot crashes at Main Avenue downtown, rollovers once police clear the scene, and cars that must be pulled out of a rotation yard.
Rear-enders on Route 21 in Passaic
Runs along the river through the city toward Newark and Clifton; no shoulders and fast traffic, so breakdowns block a lane. The rear-end hit is the result: radiator shoved into the fan, bumper cover dragging, trunk lid sprung. Coolant on the ground or a fan rubbing means the car does not move under its own power. Photograph it, then it rides the flatbed to your shop.
Intersection crashes in Passaic
T-bone and left-turn crashes at the corners around Main Avenue downtown and along Main Avenue bend wheels under and lock steering. The car is winched onto the deck at an angle with a dolly under the bent corner. Tell the dispatcher which corner is hit so the driver rigs it right the first time.
Off the pavement on Main Avenue: guardrails, poles and embankments
Guardrail and pole strikes along Main Avenue usually end with the car partly off the shoulder or down an embankment. The driver pulls it back to level ground with the winch before it goes on the flatbed. Rollovers are recovered after police release the scene. Stuck without damage? That is a winch out in Passaic, not an accident tow.
Lot crashes at Main Avenue downtown in Passaic
Low speed, real damage. If the car pulls or scrapes, a short tow to the shop beats a bent tie rod letting go on Route 21. Quoted flat, with photos for the claim.
Releasing a car from the yard after a Passaic accident
The rotation yard bills by the day and keeps banker's hours. Sign a release for us, and we collect the car, pay the yard's fees, itemize them on your receipt and deliver the car to your body shop in Passaic the same afternoon.
It still runs, but should it leave Passaic on its own?
The car starts, so it seems fine. Then the fan chews through the radiator on Route 21 or the bent tie rod lets go at speed. If anything is leaking, rubbing or pulling after a crash in Passaic, the tow is the cheap option: insurance normally pays for it, and it never pays for the damage from driving a wounded car.
Whatever stopped the car in Passaic, one number sends the right truck or technician.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedWhat accident towing costs in Passaic, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
An accident tow in Passaic costs a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your body shop or driveway, quoted on the call, usually reimbursed by collision coverage or the at-fault driver's insurer, with no storage fees because the car never goes to our yard.
Hook fee plus mileage to the shop you choose
Two numbers: the hook fee, which includes the winch work a wreck needs, and the mileage from the Passaic scene to your shop. Short runs stay inside the base mileage. The dispatcher gives you the total before you commit.
What the storage yard charges that we never do
Count the line items on a rotation tow: hook, daily storage, release fee, and then a second tow from the yard to your shop. Our bill has two: hook and mileage, because the car goes straight from Route 21 to the shop. Three days in a yard typically costs several hundred dollars more than calling us from the scene.
Getting the Passaic tow paid back by insurance
A tow to a repair shop is a covered expense under collision coverage nearly everywhere, and an at-fault driver's insurer typically reimburses it as part of the claim. We make the paperwork easy: the receipt names the spot in Passaic, the shop, the mileage and the service. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the drop-off.
The reason this page has no accident towing price table for Passaic
A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at Main Avenue downtown and the car on the shoulder of Main Avenue are different jobs, and so are a compact and a full-size SUV, and so are a drop across town and one across Passaic County. The dispatcher settles all of that in half a minute and gives you one exact number; if you do not like it, you owe nothing.

Call for a quoteSchedule insteadEvery Passaic neighborhood gets the same accident towing: Fourth Ward, Botany border, Lower Passaic and Downtown / Main Avenue and more
Accident towing is dispatched to every part of Passaic, including Fourth Ward, Botany border, Lower Passaic, Downtown / Main Avenue, Passaic Park, Dundee and Third Ward, at the same flat quoted price.
Curbside on both sides of narrow streets with cars parked bumper to bumper; small shared driveways and a few tight apartment garages. A wheel-lift often fits where a flatbed needs the car pulled out first. Say the Passaic neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Fourth Ward: what accident towing looks like here
In Fourth Ward the approach depends on the street: a Fourth Ward driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Fourth Ward. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Fourth Ward as everywhere in Passaic.
Accident towing in Botany border
Botany border gets the same response as the rest of Passaic: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Botany border and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for accident towing in Passaic: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 21
Roughly 70,000 people live in Passaic, and accident towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Passaic station (NJ Transit Main Line), families on the residential streets, the businesses around Main Avenue downtown, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 21.
A densely packed city of apartment buildings and multi-family homes on the Passaic River, with Main Avenue and Monroe Street as its commercial strips and Route 21 along the river. Street parking is nose-to-tail on every block, older cars are common, and boxed-in vehicles shape every call. That mix shapes the accident towing calls we get from Passaic.
Passaic commuters, from the platform at Passaic station (NJ Transit Main Line) to the driveway
The lot at Passaic station (NJ Transit Main Line) is where Passaic batteries die: a car sits ten hours, the lights were left on, and at 7 p.m. it is dark and cold. A tow to the shop from the lot or the driveway is quoted before the truck leaves; if a jump or a tire would do instead, the dispatcher says so. Commuters need one thing above all: a real arrival time, and they get one.
Families in the residential streets of Passaic
A city of about 70,000 people means thousands of family driveways, and the family car fails on a schedule: before school pickup, on the way to practice, the morning of a trip. Curbside on both sides of narrow streets with cars parked bumper to bumper; small shared driveways and a few tight apartment garages. A wheel-lift often fits where a flatbed needs the car pulled out first. The truck arrives set up for the driveway, and the passengers ride in the cab. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Passaic businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Passaic call for work vehicles that make money by moving. We quote the job, give the real arrival window and get the vehicle to the shop or the yard. Repeat callers are welcome to ask for an account so the paperwork is one email a month. Details on towing for Passaic businesses.
Strangers to Passaic: breakdowns on Route 21 on the way somewhere else
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Passaic have never heard of it; they were on Route 21 heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as Garden State Parkway Exit 154 (Clifton), and the truck finds you. The car can go to a shop here, to your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area, quoted as one number.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 21: everyone in Passaic calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedAccident towing in Passaic by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
The trucks run to Passaic in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Route 21 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. The river blocks near Dundee and the Passaic Park low streets flood in nor'easters.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Passaic for a few winters knows what the calendar does to the calls. The notes below are the pattern, so you know what to expect from accident towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Winter accident towing in Passaic when Route 21 ices over
Winter collisions cluster on the first icy morning of the year; the truck clears the lane first and sorts the paperwork second. In Passaic the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
March and April in Passaic: potholes, bent wheels and inspection failures
Spring rain after a dry week makes the ramps greasy and rear-end crashes common at the lights. The spring calls cluster around Main Avenue downtown and along Route 21, where the traffic is heaviest and the pavement breaks first; if the steering wheel sits off-center after a hit, the car rides the flatbed to an alignment shop rather than chewing up a new tire on the way.
Summer accident towing in Passaic: heat, traffic and holiday weekends
Summer accident calls come with heat, traffic and holiday volume; the crew works fast to get the car and the people off the shoulder. Summer storms flood the low spots in Passaic in minutes; a car that stalled in water is towed to the shop, never restarted on the spot.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Passaic
Fall means deer season and early darkness; a deer strike is an accident tow with a body-shop destination and an insurance claim. Deer cross Main Avenue and the quieter roads of Passaic around Downtown / Main Avenue at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Passaic with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Passaic. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Call nowPassaic County towingWhat Passaic drivers want to know about accident towing, price and where the car goes
The questions below cover arrival time in Passaic, the price of accident towing, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How fast can an accident tow truck get to Passaic?
About 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, which is usually short enough that the officer waits. The dispatcher confirms the window once you say where on Route 21 or which corner of Passaic you are.
The police in Passaic are already on scene. Can I still use my own tow?
In most cases, yes. Say to the officer that your tow is 40 minutes away and the car is going to your shop. The only time it fails is a car blocking traffic on Route 21; then ask whether our truck can take it straight from the scene.
Does my policy reimburse accident towing in Passaic?
Nearly always. A tow to a repair shop is part of collision coverage, and an at-fault driver's liability carrier usually pays it back. The itemized receipt lists the Passaic pickup, the destination and the mileage for the claim.
Can you tow the car to my house in Passaic instead of a shop?
Yes. The destination is yours to pick, and a driveway in Downtown / Main Avenue is as good as a shop. Just keep it off the street; Passaic and most towns ticket damaged vehicles left at the curb.
Can you pick up my car from the impound yard and bring it to my shop?
Yes. You sign a release, we pick it up, pay the yard on your behalf and add it to your receipt, and deliver it to your shop in Passaic or wherever you choose the same day.
The car will not roll after the crash on Route 21. Can you load it?
Yes. The deck comes down, the winch pulls the car up, and a dolly goes under any wheel that will not turn. Folded wheels, bent frames and shredded tires are ordinary work on Route 21.
Can I get pictures of the damage from the driver?
Yes. The driver photographs the car before it goes on the deck and again at the shop, and the receipt lists the Passaic pickup, destination and miles. Ask and the photos are yours.
The car runs after a bump at Main Avenue downtown but something feels wrong. Do I need a tow?
Yes. A bent tie rod or a radiator touching the fan gets worse fast on Route 21. The tow is usually covered; the damage from driving it is not.
Is there room in the truck for me after a crash in Passaic?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab from the Passaic scene. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car so we plan for it.
The body shop is closed tonight. What happens to the car?
Most shops around Main Avenue downtown have a drop box, and the car can go in their lot with the key in it. If not, we hold the car overnight and deliver it in the morning.
