Availability notice:
Grand Island requests may be submitted 24 hours a day, but an exact arrival
time is not guaranteed. Acceptance depends on active calls, travel distance,
bridge traffic, weather, vehicle eligibility, road conditions and safe
tow-truck access.
Important I-190 and Grand Island Bridge Service Restriction
Buffalo Towing Services may travel on I-190 and cross the North or South Grand Island Bridge to reach an eligible local Grand Island pickup location.
However, Buffalo Towing Services does not provide towing or roadside assistance for vehicles disabled directly on I-190, either Grand Island bridge, interstate entrance or exit ramps, bridge approaches or active interstate shoulders.
This means a vehicle located at a home, business, park, school, repair shop or approved local Grand Island road may be eligible even though the tow truck uses I-190 to travel to the island.
A vehicle disabled directly on I-190 or either Grand Island bridge must be handled by an authorized highway towing provider.
Call 911 or the appropriate roadway authority when a vehicle is blocking an active lane, disabled on a bridge or stopped in another dangerous interstate location.

I-190 and Grand Island Bridge Breakdown Information
Buffalo Towing Services may use I-190 as a travel route to reach Grand Island. However, service is not provided directly on I-190 or on either Grand Island bridge.
This restriction includes vehicles disabled on the North Grand Island Bridge, South Grand Island Bridge, interstate travel lanes, interstate shoulders, entrance ramps, exit ramps and bridge approaches.
For a vehicle disabled directly on I-190 or a bridge, activate the hazard lights, remain in a safe location and contact 911, the proper highway authority, your insurance roadside provider or an authorized highway towing company.
Do not attempt a tire change, jump start, fuel delivery or other roadside repair while exposed to interstate traffic.

Grand Island includes waterfront homes, private roads, wooded areas, parks and long residential driveways.
Report gates, soft shoulders, seasonal flooding, low branches, narrow driveways, gravel surfaces and limited turnaround space before service is accepted.
The tow truck must have a firm and stable surface for safe loading and recovery. Service may not be possible on lawns, trails, beaches, boat ramps, deep mud, flooded ground or narrow private drives.
Service may be available when property rules, access, vehicle eligibility, and safe tow-truck positioning allow.

Winch-out service may be available for an eligible vehicle stuck in shallow snow, mud, grass or an accessible driveway when the tow truck can remain on firm and stable ground.
