Trucks, buses & equipment moved by experienced operators.
When the job calls for serious muscle, Citywide Automotive & Towing delivers. Since 1924 our heavy-duty fleet and WreckMaster-trained operators have handled tractor-trailers, box trucks, buses, RVs and heavy equipment across Putnam Valley and the Hudson Valley — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Heavy-duty recovery is not scaled-up light-duty towing. A loaded tractor-trailer off the shoulder needs different equipment, different rigging and different judgment than a car in a ditch — and getting it wrong turns a recovery into a second accident. Our operators are WreckMaster-trained and ASE-certified, and we have been working Hudson Valley highways for a century.
Whether you are a fleet manager with a truck down on I-84, an owner-operator blocking a lane on Route 6, or an insurer coordinating a recovery, one call to 845-603-6900 reaches a dispatcher who can put the right rig on the road.
Heavy-duty work is decided by the iron you can put on scene. We run our own recovery units and our own trailers, which means we can match the equipment to the job instead of making the wrong tool work.
Not sure what your job needs? Describe what you are looking at when you call and our dispatcher will work it out — that is what a century of this is for.
We are based at 824 Peekskill Hollow Road in Putnam Valley, which puts us close to the roads where heavy-duty calls actually happen. Our heavy-duty team runs the major Hudson Valley corridors around the clock:
Towns we cover include Putnam Valley, Mahopac, Carmel, Brewster, Kent Cliffs, Cold Spring, Garrison, Peekskill, Cortlandt, Yorktown, Yorktown Heights, Shrub Oak, Jefferson Valley, Somers, Millwood, Ossining, Stormville, Holmes, East Fishkill, Fishkill and Beacon — and we go further when a job calls for it.
From box trucks to fully-loaded tractor-trailers, buses, motorhomes and heavy equipment — we have the right rig for the job. If you are not sure, call 845-603-6900 and describe the vehicle.
Yes. Our heavy-duty team is on call around the clock, every day of the year, across the Hudson Valley.
Our operators are WreckMaster-trained and our technicians are ASE-certified. We have been recovering commercial vehicles since 1924.
Yes — we handle load adjustments, decking and un-decking, and cargo transfer to a second trailer when a load cannot continue as it is.
Heavy-duty work is quoted per job rather than off a flat rate, because the equipment, crew and time involved vary enormously between a straightforward tow and a complex recovery. Tell us what you are looking at and we will explain what it will take before we roll.
Your location and direction of travel, the type and approximate weight of the vehicle, whether it is loaded, whether it is still on the pavement, and whether anyone is injured or the road is blocked. That tells our dispatcher which rig to send.
Yes. We handle insurance claims and coordinate with adjusters and motor clubs regularly. Bring your claim details to the call and we will work with your provider.
Yes. Ditch, embankment and off-road recoveries are routine heavy-duty work for us — we winch out vehicles and equipment from mud, soft shoulders and terrain a tow truck cannot simply back up to.
Yes. We work with fleets, contractors, municipalities and insurers throughout the Hudson Valley. Call 845-603-6900 to set up an account.
