The real problem
A Blocked Driveway Is Not Just a Parking Problem
You may be trying to leave for work, pick up your child, get to an airport, take someone to a medical appointment, open your business, leave for a client meeting, move a work truck, or get your own car out of your own property.
This is different from a random parking complaint. Your access is blocked. Your property is being interfered with. Your schedule is being controlled by someone else’s bad parking.
Confirm the driveway is actually blocked
The vehicle should be partially or completely blocking your legal driveway entrance or exit. Take clear photos showing the plate, curb cut, driveway, and how access is blocked.
Call police first
Report the blocked driveway to the local police department or precinct. If it is urgent, dangerous, or you are trapped during an emergency, call 911.
Police issue ticket or authorization
The vehicle generally must be ticketed, summonsed, or authorized for removal before a towing company can tow it.
Call Dion Towing
Once the police ticket or removal authorization is in place, call Dion Towing and tell us the vehicle is blocking your driveway and has been ticketed.
Vehicle details are confirmed
We ask for the vehicle make, model, color, plate, exact location, and whether the police ticket or authorization has already been issued.
Blocking vehicle is removed
The vehicle is removed under the proper process. The driveway customer is not charged; the offending vehicle owner is responsible for towing and related charges.

Blocked Driveways Happen Where Parking Pressure Is Real
This service is common where street parking is tight, driveways are narrow, homes are close together, or visitors park carelessly.
Real scenarios
Blocked Driveway Scenarios We Handle After Police Ticketing
You Are Trapped Inside
Your car is in the driveway or garage, but another vehicle is blocking the exit. Call police first, then call Dion Towing after the ticket or authorization.
You Cannot Get Into Your Driveway
You came home and someone is parked across the driveway. If the vehicle is blocking access, report it first and request enforcement.
A Customer or Tenant Cannot Access the Property
If a vehicle is blocking a driveway used by tenants, customers, employees, or authorized vehicles, the proper enforcement step comes first.
A Business Driveway Is Blocked
A blocked entrance can stop deliveries, work vans, appointments, and customer access. Once police ticketing or authorization is complete, Dion Towing can help remove the obstruction.
The Vehicle Owner Cannot Be Found
Do not start knocking randomly or escalating the situation. Document the vehicle, call police, and follow the ticket-first process.

Avoid confrontation. If police or towing is already involved, let the situation stay calm and documented.
