Two different call sheets come out of this end of the city. Around Fairmount and Stony Brook it's two-family curbs and driveways — dead batteries, flats, a car that won't turn over on a weekday morning, and usually room to hook it. Readville is the other half: rail-yard traffic, box trucks, and cars somebody stopped paying for.
River Street, Hyde Park Avenue and the Truman Parkway carry the breakdowns. Low spots on Truman along the Neponset hold water after a hard rain, and somebody misjudges one every year. That's a winch-out, not a jump start. Route 128 is minutes away in Dedham, so highway work lands here too.
Cleary Square lots and the Readville yards
Can a flatbed fit the small lots off Cleary Square?
Usually. The angle matters more than the space, so tell dispatch which lot and which entrance, and we'll send the truck that fits.
My car took on water on the Truman Parkway. Should I restart it?
No. Restarting a flooded engine is how a tow bill turns into an engine bill. Leave it off and we'll winch it out and flatbed it to your shop.
