West Bank roads we run constantly
The elevated Expressway and its service roads produce most Gretna tows. US-90 feeds the same corridor. Stumpf Boulevard and Manhattan Boulevard catch grocery and apartment calls. Lafayette Street and the downtown grid catch courthouse and restaurant lockouts. We know which ramps are awkward for a bed truck and which lots let us swing around.
Gretna shares weather and commute patterns with Marrero. A storm that floods Belle Chasse Highway also soaks Gretna side streets. That is when we send more winch-outs than jumps. If the car is against a ditch, say so on the first call.
How a Gretna dispatch works
- Call (504) 414-8034 with Expressway direction, exit name, or a downtown cross street.
- We quote from $75 plus $4 per mile or $65 roadside and give a 30-minute-class ETA.
- We load on the service road when we can, or cone a shoulder if you cannot move.
- We drop at a West Bank shop or take the bridge to an East Bank destination you name.
Crash and commute notes
Merge traffic onto the Crescent City Connection is a regular accident pin. If officers are already on scene, call us anyway so you have a requested company. For a simple flat on the service road, stay in the car and we will treat it as a $65 tire change when the spare is present.
Gretna starting rates
| Service | Starting rate |
|---|---|

Bridge trips use the same per-mile rate. Verified September 2026.
Licensed, insured, and family-owned. If you are farther west on the Expressway, read Marrero towing. If you already crossed into Orleans on the West Bank, see Algiers.
“West Bank Expressway shoulders are narrow and fast. If you can limp to a service-road lot, do it. If you cannot, stay in the car and give us the nearest exit — Stumpf, Manhattan, or Lafayette Street.”
