How to get your car towed without getting ripped off in NYC and Long Island
Don't let the first tow truck that shows up take your car. You get to choose where it goes, and you should get that destination confirmed before it leaves the scene. We don't run trucks ourselves, we coordinate the tow through people we trust, so your car ends up where you actually want it.
Can a tow truck show up at the scene on its own?
Yes, and you don't have to use it. Unsolicited tow trucks sometimes arrive before police do. You're allowed to say no and wait, or call someone you trust instead.
How do I make sure my car goes where I want?
Ask where the truck is taking it before it leaves, and get that in writing or a text if you can. Some yards charge a release fee if you don't confirm the destination first.
Does Maestro operate the tow truck?
No. Maestro coordinates the tow through people we trust, we don't run a truck ourselves. The goal is your car ending up at the right place, not the closest one.
What does a tow cost?
It depends on the distance, the vehicle, and who's doing it, so there's no honest flat number to give you here. Confirm the price and the destination before the truck leaves, every time.
