Tow trucks in Woodbridge, NJ: which one comes, when, and what it costs
Why the tow truck that comes to Woodbridge should be chosen for your car, not just the nearest one free
Tow Truck Woodbridge NJ is a NJ towing services provider that sends a flatbed or a wheel-lift to Woodbridge based on what you drive and what happened to it, from a yard in Linden twelve minutes up Routes 1 & 9, for a $149 booking fee by phone or $129 online, with mileage quoted before the truck moves.
Type "tow truck Woodbridge NJ" into a phone on the shoulder of Route 35 and the results all promise a truck. Very few of them say which truck. That matters more than most drivers realize, because a Subaru dragged on two wheels, an electric car hooked by its subframe or a lowered Civic scraped up a steep deck all cost more to repair than the tow ever cost.
Our dispatcher asks three things before she picks: what you drive, whether it rolls and steers, and where it is going. A front-wheel-drive Corolla going from Avenel to a garage on Rahway Avenue gets a wheel-lift. An all-wheel-drive Highlander, a Model Y or anything with crash damage gets a rollback with all four wheels off the ground.
Both trucks run out of the same yard in Linden, about twelve minutes from Woodbridge proper and closer still to Avenel and Port Reading. Call (908) 666-3168 and the truck that answers is the one your car needs.
The flatbed, or rollback, and what it is for
The bed tilts, slides back to the pavement and the car is winched up it onto a flat deck, then strapped through all four wheels. Nothing turns, nothing drags, nothing touches the road until it is unloaded at the shop.
It is the truck for all-wheel drive, every electric and most hybrids, anything low, anything expensive, and any car that has been in a collision. It is also the only truck we put a motorcycle on.
The wheel-lift, and when it is the smarter choice
A hydraulic yoke slides under the drive wheels, cradles the tires and lifts them clear. The other two wheels roll on the road. Hook-up takes a couple of minutes, the truck fits places a rollback cannot, and it costs less to run.
For a front-wheel-drive sedan or hatchback that still rolls and steers, going a few miles across Woodbridge, it is the correct call and there is no reason to send anything bigger.
Medium and heavy-duty, for the vehicles a car truck cannot lift
Sprinter vans, box trucks, landscaping trucks and the small buses that run the Metropark shuttles are too heavy for a car rollback's deck rating. They ride a medium-duty wrecker with an underlift. Tractors, dump trucks and full-size buses around Keasbey and Port Reading need the heavy truck.
The dispatcher asks the gross weight or the model and books the truck that matches, on a fleet account if the vehicle works for a living.
A dispatcher who knows which truck you need before you do
Most callers do not know whether their car is front, rear or all-wheel drive, and they do not need to. Say the make and model and the year and she knows. If the answer is not obvious, the driver checks the badge and the underside before he touches a control.
Getting the truck right the first time is the whole job; a second truck sent because the first was wrong wastes an hour on a Woodbridge shoulder.
Not sure what your car needs? Say the make and model. The dispatcher picks the truck and tells you the price.
Call (908) 666-3168See what a tow costsFlatbed or wheel-lift in Woodbridge: how we decide which tow truck to send to your car
The decision comes down to the drivetrain, the ride height, the condition and the distance; all-wheel drive, electric, lowered, damaged or valuable cars ride the flatbed, front-wheel-drive cars that roll and steer on short Woodbridge runs ride the wheel-lift, and the dispatcher makes that call from the make and model before quoting.
A wheel-lift lifts two wheels and lets the other two turn. That is fine for a car whose lifted wheels are the only ones connected to the transmission. It is not fine for a car where all four wheels are connected, because the two on the road spin the differential and the transfer case with no oil pump running.
That is the whole flatbed-or-wheel-lift question, and the answer is written on the back of your car. AWD, 4MATIC, xDrive, Quattro, 4WD, Symmetrical: flatbed. Tesla, Ioniq, Bolt, Leaf, Mach-E, any plug-in: flatbed, because the makers say so and because the motors are on the axles.
Front-wheel-drive Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan or Ford with the transmission in park and the wheels straight: a wheel-lift under the front is exactly right. Rear-wheel-drive cars can ride a wheel-lift under the back or with dollies under the front, though on anything low or valuable we send the rollback anyway.
The other variable is the ground. A steep driveway off Inman Avenue, a low garage under an Iselin office building or a car sitting sideways in a ditch off Route 440 each changes the approach, and sometimes the truck.
Cars that always ride the flatbed in Woodbridge
All-wheel-drive SUVs and wagons, which is most of the family cars in Colonia and Iselin, and every electric and plug-in hybrid. Anything lowered, air-suspended or on a body kit. Anything that has been hit, has a bent wheel, a flat with no spare, or a locked steering column with the wheels turned.
Luxury cars whose owners would rather nothing rolled at all. Motorcycles, on a chock with soft straps. If any of that describes your car, the rollback is already the truck we send.
Cars that do fine on a wheel-lift, and why we still ask
A front-wheel-drive car that rolls, steers and has a working parking brake, going a handful of miles to a Woodbridge garage, loses nothing by riding on its rear wheels. The wheel-lift gets there sooner, hooks up in minutes and slides into a tight spot on Main Street where a rollback would block the lane.
We still ask about the transmission, the tires and the destination, because a wheel-lift with a bad rear tire or a forty-mile run is the wrong choice even for the right car.
The driver's checks before the car moves an inch
Badge and underside for the drivetrain, then ground clearance and approach angle for the deck, with wood blocks or ramps if the nose is low. Steering lock, parking brake and transmission position, then straps through the wheels and never around a control arm or a battery tray. A photo of every panel.
Then the winch takes up slack slowly and the car goes on straight. That sequence is the same in a Woodbridge Center deck at noon and on the Parkway ramp at Exit 130 at 3 a.m.
Say the make, the model and the year. The truck that fits it is on its way.
Send the right truckEmergency tow truck in Woodbridge, NJ: what rolls first when the car is in a live lane or on its side
For a Woodbridge emergency the nearest suitable truck rolls before the paperwork is finished, a flatbed with a winch if the car is damaged or off the pavement, a wheel-lift if it is a dead car blocking a lane and still rolls, and the price is the same $149 booking fee plus mileage as any scheduled tow.
An emergency changes which truck we send and how fast, not what it costs. A car stopped in the left lane of Route 1 by Woodbridge Center needs a truck with a light bar and a driver who will block for you before he hooks anything.
A car that went into the guardrail on Route 35 near the Perth Amboy line needs a rollback with a winch, not a wheel-lift. The dispatcher hears which it is in the first sentence and sends that truck while she is still asking where to stand.
Collision on Routes 1 & 9, Route 35 or Route 440
Call us before the police rotation truck arrives and you choose where the car goes. The rollback winches the car onto the deck on whatever wheels it has left, the driver photographs every panel for your adjuster, and the car is delivered to the body shop you name, not a yard that bills by the day.
Tell the officer your own tow truck is on the way; they usually wait.
Dead in a travel lane on Route 27, Amboy Avenue or Green Street
If it rolls, coast it to the curb or a side street first. If it does not, hazards on, everyone out on the side away from traffic, and call from behind something solid. The wheel-lift is the fast truck here: two minutes on the hook and the lane is clear.
Off the pavement: ditch, grass, snowbank, marsh edge
The slopes off the Parkway ramps, the wet ground near Sewaren and Keasbey, the front lawns along Inman Avenue after the first ice. The rollback's winch pulls the car back to hard ground on a straight line. If it drives afterward, the winch-out is the whole bill; if it does not, the truck is already there and the tow is added with no second callout.
Blocking a driveway, a loading dock or a lot exit
A dead car across a driveway in Fords, a van stuck in a dock at a Port Reading warehouse, a delivery truck dead at the Woodbridge Center loading bay. We move it first and settle the destination second. Fleet vehicles go on a fleet account with one invoice a month.
Say it is an emergency and say the road. The right truck rolls while you are still talking.
Emergency tow truck nowWhat happens on the callEvery job a tow truck does in Woodbridge, and which truck does it
From Woodbridge we run flatbed towing, wheel-lift towing, emergency and accident towing, winch-outs, medium and heavy-duty towing, long-distance runs and the four roadside jobs, jump start, flat tire change, car lockout and fuel delivery, each at one flat price and each tried before a tow when it can solve the problem.
Flatbed towing
The rollback for AWD, electric, luxury, low and damaged cars. Winched on, strapped through the wheels, delivered with nothing having turned. Most of what leaves Colonia and Iselin driveways rides this truck.
Wheel-lift towing
The quick truck for front-wheel-drive cars that roll and steer. Fits tight curbs on Main Street and the lanes behind Oak Tree Road, hooks in minutes, and is the right choice for a short local run.
Emergency towing
The nearest suitable truck now, live lane or shoulder, day or night, at the same booking fee. The driver blocks for you before he touches the car.
Accident towing
Rollback with a winch for a car that cannot roll. Photographed for the adjuster and delivered to your body shop, so there is no storage yard and no release fee.
Winch-out and recovery
Off a Parkway ramp, into the grass on Route 440, nose-down in a Sewaren ditch. Pulled straight back to the pavement; if it drives, that is the entire charge.
Medium and heavy-duty
Sprinters, box trucks, landscapers' rigs and small buses on the medium wrecker; tractors and full-size buses on the heavy one. Fleet accounts for the Keasbey and Port Reading yards.
Jump start, tire, lockout, fuel
One flat price each, no truck bed needed. A dead battery at Metropark, a flat on Route 9 with a good spare, keys locked in at Woodbridge Center, an empty tank on the Parkway service road.
Long-distance towing
One flatbed, one driver, one quoted price with tolls, from Woodbridge to the shore, the city or across a state line. The car stays on the same deck from pickup to drop-off.
Longer pages on each: flatbed towing, emergency towing, accident towing, heavy duty towing, roadside assistance and long distance towing. You do not need to know which one you need. Describe the car and the problem and the dispatcher books the truck.
Describe the problem. The dispatcher decides whether it is a jump, a wheel-lift or a rollback, and quotes it.
Call (908) 666-3168Book online · $20 offA tow truck for every part of Woodbridge Township: from Iselin to Sewaren, which truck and how it gets in
Woodbridge Township is nine distinct communities, and the truck that reaches each one and the way it approaches differ: rollbacks for the AWD driveways of Colonia and Iselin, wheel-lifts for the tight curbs around Main Street and Oak Tree Road, medium and heavy trucks for the yards at Keasbey and Port Reading, all from a Linden yard about twelve minutes away.
Woodbridge is not one town so much as nine, stitched together by Routes 1 & 9, Route 35 and the Parkway. Each has its own streets, its own parking and its own reasons to need a tow truck. The trucks come down Routes 1 & 9 from Linden, which puts Avenel, Port Reading and Woodbridge proper closest, with Iselin, Colonia and the southern sections a few minutes further.
Each of the six area pages below explains which truck we send there most and how the driver gets in.
Woodbridge proper: Main Street, the station, Amboy and Rahway Avenues
The township's downtown, with angled parking along Main Street, the commuter lot at Woodbridge station and the older streets between Green Street and Route 35. Wheel-lift territory for the curbside cars, a rollback for anything that must leave the station lot on a flatbed.
The driver comes in off Route 35 or Amboy Avenue depending on which side of the tracks you are on.
Iselin: Oak Tree Road, Metropark and Route 27
Oak Tree Road's shopping blocks with cars parked nose to tail, the Metropark garage and the office parks along Wood Avenue South, and the Route 27 corridor toward Edison. Garage ceilings keep the rollback outside; the driver brings the car to the exit on a wheel-lift or dollies and loads on the street.
Parkway Exit 131 is the way in.
Avenel: Avenel Street, Route 1 and the Avenel station
The nearest section to our yard, straight down Routes 1 & 9 or Rahway Avenue from Linden. The station lot, the strip along Route 1 and the residential streets off Avenel Street and Blair Road. Commuter cars that will not start are jumps first; the ones that need to move ride whichever truck the drivetrain calls for.
Colonia: Inman Avenue, New Dover Road, the Clark and Rahway borders
Quiet residential streets, sloped driveways and a high share of all-wheel-drive SUVs, which means the rollback more often than not. The driver phones ahead so a second car can be moved off the driveway, and backs the deck in from Inman Avenue or Colonia Boulevard.
Fords, Hopelawn and Keasbey: King Georges Road, Route 440, the Raritan side
Fords' shopping strips on King Georges Road and New Brunswick Avenue, Hopelawn's streets off Route 9, and Keasbey's warehouses along Smith Street and Route 440 near the Raritan. Cars ride the rollback or the wheel-lift; the warehouse fleets ride the medium and heavy trucks on an account.
Port Reading and Sewaren: the rail yards and the waterfront
Port Reading Avenue, the rail yard gates and the truck traffic toward Carteret; Sewaren's Cliff Road, West Avenue and the Waterfront Park along the Arthur Kill. Close to Linden by Route 35 or Blair Road.
Heavy trucks for the yards, rollbacks for cars that went into the soft ground near the water. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
Every community above and the seven towns on the township's border are on the service-area page with the way in.
Call (908) 666-3168Full Woodbridge service areaTow truck on Routes 1 & 9, Route 35, Route 440, Route 27 and the Parkway and Turnpike exits in Woodbridge
We dispatch straight to Routes 1 & 9, Route 35, Route 440, Route 27, Route 9 and every township street; on the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike the shoulder belongs to the Authority's authorized garages, and we collect the car from the exit or the garage's lot so it does not sit there earning storage.
Garden State Parkway, Exits 127 to 131
The Parkway runs the length of the township, from the Route 9 and Route 440 interchange at Exit 127, past the Route 1 exits at 129 and 130, to Metropark at 131. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Book the second leg with us while the first truck is still working and the car goes straight from the exit to your shop.
NJ Turnpike Exit 11 and the Parkway interchange
Exit 11 sits in the township where the Turnpike, the Parkway and Route 9 meet, and it is the busiest tangle of ramps in Middlesex County. The Authority's garage handles the Turnpike shoulder; we handle everything after. Say which road you ended up on and the last exit number you saw, because the ramps here confuse everyone.
Routes 1 & 9 past Woodbridge Center
The trucks' road home, from the Avenel line past the mall entrances to the Route 35 split, with jughandles, short merges and no real shoulder in places. Direct dispatch, both directions. A wheel-lift clears a dead car from a jughandle in minutes; a rollback handles the rear-enders at the mall lights.
Route 35 from Woodbridge proper to Sewaren and Perth Amboy
Through the downtown, past the Community Center, over the tracks and down toward Sewaren and the Perth Amboy line. Curbside parking and left-turn lanes decide where the truck can stop. Give the cross street and the direction; a tow from Route 35 to a Woodbridge garage is one of the shortest runs we do.
Route 440 and the end of I-287
I-287 finishes at Route 440 on the Edison line, and 440 carries that traffic down past Keasbey and Fords toward the Outerbridge. Fast, wide and unforgiving of a flat. The grass off the ramps takes cars in the rain; the rollback's winch brings them back, and if the car drives afterward that is the bill.
Route 27, Oak Tree Road, Amboy Avenue, Green Street, Inman Avenue
The township's local traffic, where a stalled car blocks a lane and a boxed-in car needs a wheel-lift that can turn in a tight space. Route 27 through Iselin, Oak Tree Road's shopping blocks, Amboy Avenue past the high school, Green Street to the Parkway, Inman Avenue through Colonia. Give the nearest corner and the side of the road.
On a Woodbridge road right now? Behind the guardrail, hazards on, call, and say the road and the direction.
Call from the roadsideHow much does a tow truck cost in Woodbridge, NJ: $149 by phone, $129 online, and the truck type does not change it
A tow truck in Woodbridge costs a flat $149 booking fee for dispatch and hook-up, $129 if you book online, plus a per-mile rate to the destination you choose, quoted on the call; the flatbed and the wheel-lift carry the same booking fee, roadside jobs are one flat price each, and nothing is added for nights, weekends, holidays or fuel.
The booking fee is the same whether the rollback or the wheel-lift comes, because the truck is chosen for the car and not for the bill. $149 by phone, $129 online. It covers the truck reaching you anywhere in the township and the car going on the hook or the deck.
Mileage is a per-mile rate from where the car sits to where it is going, quoted before dispatch, which is why the dispatcher asks about the garage first. Woodbridge to a shop in Woodbridge, Edison or Rahway is a small number.
Extras exist only for a car that cannot roll or steer: a winch from a ditch, dollies under a locked axle. You hear the figure on the call or from the driver before he starts, never on the receipt as a surprise.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
What is never on a Tow Truck Woodbridge receipt
No surcharge for sending the rollback instead of the wheel-lift. No night, weekend or holiday rate. No fuel line.
No hook fee on top of the booking fee. No charge for a passenger or two in the cab. No storage or release fee on a car delivered where you sent it.
No fee for calling to ask which truck you need. The prices page walks through every line.
What does move the number, and when you find out
Distance, first. Vehicle class, second: a Sprinter or a box truck needs the medium wrecker and is quoted on its own, and a tractor needs the heavy one. Condition, third: a car with a bent wheel, in a ditch or locked with the wheels turned needs a winch or dollies.
The dispatcher usually hears all three on the call and quotes the total then. Anything the driver discovers at the curb is named before he does it.
Ask for the number. It is the same for both trucks and the same at every hour.
Call (908) 666-3168Tow truck prices in WoodbridgeHow a tow truck call in Woodbridge works, from the dispatcher's questions to the straps coming off
You call or book online, the dispatcher asks where the car is, what it is, what happened and where it goes, picks the truck and quotes the price, the driver calls when he is close, checks the car, loads it correctly, photographs it and delivers it, and the receipt matches the quote.
- 1
Call {{phone}} or book online for $129
A dispatcher answers. Where is the car: a corner, a lot, a garage level, an exit. What is it: make, model, year, and she works out the drivetrain from that. What happened: no start, flat, crash, keys inside. Where should it go. Typing the same four answers into the booking page makes the fee $129 instead of $149.
- 2
The truck is chosen and the price is quoted
Rollback or wheel-lift, medium or heavy, or no tow at all if what you described is a battery, a tire or a lockout. The quote is the booking fee plus mileage plus any winch or dolly work the call revealed. You approve before anything is dispatched.
- 3
The driver calls, then checks before he hooks
He phones when he is minutes away so you can move a second car or come down from an office. On arrival he confirms the drivetrain, checks clearance, sets the parking brake and the transmission, and photographs every panel.
If the plan was a roadside fix, he tries that first; if it fails, the tow goes on at the flat rate with no second callout.
- 4
Loaded straight, strapped through the wheels, delivered
The car goes up the deck on a slow winch or onto the yoke square, is strapped at four points, and rides to the destination you named. You can ride in the cab. At the shop the straps come off, the car is photographed again, and the itemized receipt shows the fee, the miles and anything else, in the format insurers reimburse.
Four questions, one truck chosen for your car, one flat number. That is the whole process.

Questions Woodbridge drivers ask about tow trucks, answered before you dial
Short version: AWD, electric, low and damaged cars ride a flatbed, front-wheel-drive cars that roll can ride a wheel-lift, both carry the same $149 booking fee ($129 online), mileage is quoted before dispatch, the yard is twelve minutes away, and you do not need a membership.
Which tow truck will you send to me in Woodbridge, a flatbed or a wheel-lift?
It depends on the car. All-wheel drive, electric, plug-in hybrid, lowered, luxury or damaged cars get the flatbed, which we also call a rollback. A front-wheel-drive car that rolls and steers, going a short distance inside the township, gets the wheel-lift. Tell the dispatcher the make, model and year and she decides before she quotes.
How much does a tow truck cost in Woodbridge, NJ?
A flat $149 booking fee for dispatch and hook-up, $129 if you book online, plus a per-mile rate to the garage or driveway you choose, quoted on the call before the truck leaves. The rollback and the wheel-lift carry the same booking fee. The prices page has every line.
Does the flatbed cost more than the wheel-lift?
Not here. The booking fee is $149 by phone or $129 online whichever truck comes, because the truck is chosen for the car and not for the receipt. Only vans, box trucks and heavier vehicles that need the medium or heavy wrecker are quoted separately.
Can my all-wheel-drive SUV go on a wheel-lift?
No, and we will not do it. With two wheels turning on the road and the other two lifted, an AWD transfer case runs without lubrication and can be ruined inside a few miles. Subarus, Audi Quattros, BMW xDrives, 4MATIC Mercedes, AWD Toyotas and Hondas and every 4x4 pickup ride the flatbed from Woodbridge, no exceptions.
Do you tow Teslas and other electric cars in Woodbridge?
Yes, on the flatbed only, with the car in transport mode where the maker provides one and straps through the wheels rather than the frame. Never a wheel-lift, never with any wheel rolling. That covers Tesla, Rivian, Ioniq, Bolt, Leaf, Mach-E, ID.4 and the plug-in hybrids too.
My car is lowered. Can a flatbed even load it?
Yes. The driver reduces the deck angle, sets wood blocks or ramps under the approach and winches slowly so the nose never touches the deck edge. Say it is lowered when you call so the truck arrives with the blocks on board. Lowered cars never ride the wheel-lift.
How fast can a tow truck reach me in Woodbridge?
Our yard is in Linden, about twelve minutes from Woodbridge proper by Routes 1 & 9 and closer to Avenel and Port Reading. A truck is often already in the township. The dispatcher quotes a real arrival window from where the nearest suitable truck actually is, not from the yard.
Does a wheel-lift damage the transmission on a front-wheel-drive car?
Not when the front wheels are the ones lifted, because the rear wheels on a front-wheel-drive car are not connected to the transmission. The driver confirms the drivetrain, puts the car in neutral or park as the maker specifies and releases the parking brake. If there is any doubt, the rollback comes instead.
Your question not here? Ask the dispatcher. She has heard it and she knows which truck it needs.
Call (908) 666-3168More questions and answersSearching "tow truck near me" in Woodbridge? Here is where the nearest one actually is
The nearest tow truck to you in Woodbridge is usually one already working the township or one leaving our Linden yard twelve minutes up Routes 1 & 9, and the dispatcher can see which, so she quotes the arrival window from the truck's real position and sends the type your car needs, not just the closest one.
"Tow truck near me" is the most common thing typed on a Woodbridge shoulder, and the honest answer has two parts. Where is the nearest truck, and is it the right truck. A wheel-lift five minutes away is no use to a Tesla, and a rollback that has to come from Bergen County is no use to anyone on Route 1 at rush hour.
Ours come from Linden, run Routes 1 & 9 through Avenel and Woodbridge proper most hours, and go out to Iselin, Colonia and Fords all day. Both truck types are in the rotation, so the near one is usually the right one.
Tow truck near Woodbridge Center, Routes 1 & 9 and Woodbridge proper
Our shortest run into the township. The mall decks and lots, the Route 1 strip, Main Street and the station. A wheel-lift for the boxed-in and the curbside; a rollback for anything AWD leaving the mall garage, brought to the exit first if the ceiling is low.
Tow truck near Avenel, Port Reading and Sewaren
Down Routes 1 & 9, Rahway Avenue or Route 35 from Linden, these sections see the truck first. The Avenel station lot, the rail yard gates at Port Reading, the waterfront streets of Sewaren. A heavy truck for the yards is a longer drive; say early if it is a tractor.
Tow truck near Iselin, Metropark and Oak Tree Road
In on the Parkway to Exit 131 or along Route 27. The Metropark garage, the Wood Avenue office parks and the Oak Tree Road shopping blocks. Say the garage level or the cross street; a rollback waits at the exit while the driver brings a low-deck car out.
Tow truck near Colonia, Fords, Hopelawn and Keasbey
The furthest corners of the township from the yard, but a truck already working Woodbridge is usually closer than Linden is, and the dispatcher quotes from where it actually sits. Rollbacks for Colonia's AWD driveways; wheel-lifts, rollbacks and the medium truck for the Fords strips and the Keasbey warehouses.
The nearest tow truck of the right type is one call away, and the dispatcher can see where it is.

The trucks come out of Linden, twelve minutes up Routes 1 & 9, and the dispatcher who answers {{phone}} picks the flatbed or the wheel-lift from your make and model before she quotes the fee and the mileage.
Speed and the right truck are usually a trade-off in towing: the company that answers first sends whatever is closest, and whatever is closest is sometimes a wheel-lift under a Subaru. We keep both trucks in the Woodbridge rotation and the yard close enough that the dispatcher does not have to choose between them. Book online and the booking fee drops from $149 to $129. The prices page explains why both trucks cost the same to book; the service area shows how each section of the township is reached.
