A sedan with its front clip folded under, stopped on the shoulder where I-25 and I-70 knot together at the Mousetrap — that's a normal Friday. The I-25 run from 84th down to the 6th Ave Freeway keeps us busy, and so does I-70 past Northfield toward E-470, the deadliest ten miles in the state. Federal Blvd runs more than double the fatality rate of comparable corridors.
Nights run differently. Coors Field empties out, private lots fill with cars that don't belong, and we're backing a flatbed down a permit-only alley in Baker or Capitol Hill. The alleys are tight, the garages detached one-car boxes, so plenty of it is dolly work.
Getting a car back off a Denver street
My car's gone — was it towed?
City tows land at the Denver Sheriff impound at 5160 York St; look yours up on the city's Tow Tracker. Under 6,000 lbs it's $120 plus $20 a day; closed Sundays.
Can you get a truck into my alley?
Usually. Tell us the cross streets and whether the garage is detached — that decides whether the flatbed goes in or we use dollies.
