A dead alternator in the right lane of 163rd Street during afternoon school traffic is a bad place to sit, and it's a call we get often. That stretch of SR 826 is wall-to-wall strip retail past the old mall site, and those lots are posted customer-only and enforced like it. People run in for ten minutes and come back out to an empty space.
Off the main runs the work changes. The 1950s-to-70s garden apartments around Uleta and Fulford-by-the-Sea have narrow rear lots, low carport beams and neighbors parked tight, so a flatbed often stages on the street and winches out slow. Same story on the soft shoulders near Greynolds Park and the Oleta River after a hard rain. Biscayne, NE 6th and NW 7th are the easier pulls.
Getting a truck through North Miami Beach traffic
My car was towed from a plaza lot on 163rd. Can you get it out?
We can transport it once it's released, but the release itself goes through whoever holds it — bring your ID, registration and proof of insurance. Call us with the address and we'll move it from there to your shop or home.
Who do I call if I break down on the highway versus a side street?
Miami-Dade police cover the highway side; the city has its own department for surface streets. Either way, tell us the nearest cross street and which direction you're facing so the driver comes up the correct side.
