Tommy's accepts voluntary, owner-authorized River Market towing and roadside inquiries for live review. Tommy's is not on the police rotation and this page does not claim City-ordered towing; River Market Community Association, City Market, KC Streetcar, Port KC, garage, parking-operator, business, apartment, or City affiliation; market or event credentials; property contract; unrestricted access; a nearby truck; or guaranteed availability. Dispatch must verify customer authorization, lawful access, equipment, timing, destination, and price before assignment.
Road environments around River Market
Streetcar loop, tracks, and stops
Report 3rd or 5th Street, Grand, Delaware, Main, or another exact block; travel direction; track or stop relationship; curb side; and traffic control. Never stage or load on tracks, at a stop, or inside a restricted transit movement without current authority.
City Market and farmers-market operations
Market days and events can change parking within City Market Square, surrounding lots, deliveries, pedestrians, barriers, and security. Identify the exact edge, entrance, stall or lot and follow current City Market and City instructions.
Lots, garages, and mixed-use buildings
Name the property and public entrance, posted height, level or row, stall, gate or payment process, ramps, turns, overhead obstructions, vehicle position, property contact, and loading room.
One-way streets, curbs, and deliveries
Give the exact block, direction, curb side, loading or bus restriction, delivery activity, bollard or barrier, and whether the vehicle can move to a lawful space. A restaurant or market stall is not an adequate location by itself.
Bridges, Downtown Loop, and riverfront
If the vehicle is on a bridge, I-35, I-70, a Loop ramp, Berkley Riverfront access, or another facility road, give the signed route, direction, exact entrance, shoulder or lane, and public-safety instruction rather than only saying River Market.
Apartments, businesses, and controlled property
Provide the building, public entrance, resident or owner authorization, security or property contact, garage or lot, gate, level, stall, and a lawful loading point clear of fire, delivery, transit, and pedestrian routes.
What to tell dispatch
- Say River Market in Kansas City, Missouri, then give the exact street, direction, cross street, building, lot, City Market edge, or garage entrance.
- Report streetcar tracks, stops, one-way streets, curbs, delivery windows, farmers-market operations, crowds, barriers, and live traffic control.
- For a garage or lot, provide property name, public entrance, clearance, level or row, stall, gate, ramps, turns, and loading room.

- Describe keys, drivetrain, wheels, tires, steering, brakes, power, damage, leaks, size, and whether the vehicle rolls or shifts.
- Name the authorized destination and receiving hours, then obtain express confirmation of authority, access, equipment, estimate, and assignment.
Ask live dispatch to confirm the complete price before assignment. Pickup, destination, mileage, property or garage access, roadside materials, loading or recovery work, waiting, event traffic, tolls, storage, and required equipment can affect the estimate. Police-directed, impound, property-enforcement, and statutory charges are not presented here as Tommy's voluntary-service rates.

Questions drivers ask
Is Tommy's affiliated with the River Market or City Market?
No River Market, City Market, streetcar, parking, property, or City relationship is claimed. Dispatch must verify customer authorization, permission, access, equipment, availability, destination, estimate, and assignment. Tommy's does not claim police-rotation or City-ordered tow status.
What changes during farmers-market hours?
Parking and vehicle access within City Market Square can change, and surrounding lots, deliveries, crowds, and barriers may be managed differently. Use current City Market guidance and report the live instruction to dispatch.
Can a truck load beside the streetcar loop?
Only a currently lawful and safe location can be considered. The website grants no track, stop, curb, lane, or traffic-control access. Follow City, police, transit, market, and property instructions.
What should I report from a River Market garage?
Give the property and public entrance, posted height, level, stall, gate, ramps, turns, overhead obstructions, vehicle power and wheel condition, property contact, and loading room.
What if I am actually on a bridge or interstate ramp?
Give the signed route, direction, bridge or ramp movement, nearest exit, lane or shoulder, barrier side, hazard, and a safe pin. Call 911 for immediate live-lane danger.
How much does a River Market tow cost?
Price is job-specific. Dispatch must confirm pickup, destination, mileage, garage or property access, loading or recovery, waiting, event restrictions, tolls, storage, and equipment before assignment.
