Washington Street south of Thornton Parkway is 1960s ranches with narrow driveways and cars parked tight to the curb. We hook from the street rather than swing a wheel-lift past somebody's fence. North of 120th it's the opposite — wide tract streets, deep garages.
The I-25 interchanges at 84th, 104th, 120th and 136th generate the accident calls. We pull a lot of dead batteries out of the park-n-ride lots at Eastlake/124th and Thornton Crossroads/104th, where cars sit in the cold while their owners ride the N Line downtown. Lockouts, mostly Larkridge and the outlets at 136th.
What north Thornton weather does to a tow call
Can you reach me if I-25 north of 136th closes for blowing snow?
That stretch opens onto plains and drifts shut fast — same ground the March 2021 blizzard stranded drivers on. We route around on Washington or Colorado Blvd, and we'll tell you straight if we'll be slow.
My car got towed from a Thornton lot. Can you help?
Yes. Once you've squared the release with the yard, we'll haul it to your shop or driveway. If it won't roll or steer, it rides the flatbed.
