About The NJ Towing Service: a 24/7 towing and roadside dispatch based in Linden, Union County, that comes to you
We are a towing and roadside assistance company dispatched from Linden, New Jersey. A dispatcher answers at any hour, quotes one flat price before anything moves, and sends the nearest truck to wherever your vehicle is within about 45 minutes of Linden.
Who we are: a towing and roadside company dispatched from Linden, New Jersey
The NJ Towing Service is a 24-hour towing and roadside assistance dispatch based in Linden, Union County, operating as a service-area business: no storefront, no published street address, and every job performed where your vehicle is.
Our legal and trading name is The NJ Towing Service. We tow cars, motorcycles, vans and commercial trucks, and we handle the roadside calls that do not need a tow at all: dead batteries, flat tires, keys locked in the car, empty tanks and vehicles stuck in snow or mud. Everything we do is listed on the services page.
A service-area business, not a shop
We are a mobile company. There is no garage to drive to and no counter to walk up to, which is why no street address appears on this site. Publishing a yard address only invites people to drive a broken car to it. Dispatch is by phone at (908) 444-0129, and the truck comes to you.
Why Linden
Linden sits where the Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and Route 27 meet, a few minutes from the Garden State Parkway's Clark and Cranford exits and from Port Newark and Port Elizabeth. A yard in the middle of the roads people actually break down on means the nearest truck is usually not far from you.
Towing and roadside under one call
If a roadside call turns out to need a tow, the tow is dispatched from the same call. You do not start over with a second company, and you are not charged a second callout.
Stuck right now? A dispatcher answers 24/7 and quotes the price before the truck rolls.
Call (908) 444-0129See every serviceWhere we work: every town within about 45 minutes of Linden across nine New Jersey counties
We cover every town within roughly a 45-minute drive of Linden across Union, Middlesex, Essex, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Somerset and Monmouth counties.
The radius is measured from Linden. Union County and the near side of Middlesex, Essex and Hudson are the closest zone; Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Somerset and Monmouth towns sit toward the edge of the 45 minutes. The dispatcher gives you an arrival window based on where the nearest available truck actually is, and says so plainly when traffic or weather stretches it. The full list of towns is on the service area page.
Highways are part of the work: Routes 1 & 9, Route 22, I-78, I-287, Route 27 and the local roads between them. 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.
Beyond the 45 minutes, we still move vehicles. A run to the shore, New York, Pennsylvania or further is quoted as long distance towing, one number for the whole trip.
How our dispatch works, from the call to the itemized receipt
A dispatcher answers, quotes one flat price before anything moves, and sends the nearest available truck; the driver calls ahead, photographs the vehicle before and after, and you get an itemized receipt.
The dispatcher answers and quotes first
Dispatch runs 24 hours a day from Linden. The person who answers asks where you are, what happened, what you drive and where the vehicle should go, then quotes one flat price. You approve it or you do not; asking costs nothing.
The nearest truck, and a call before it arrives
Once you approve, the nearest available truck is sent. The driver has your pickup, destination and vehicle on his phone, and he calls you when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours.
Photos before and after, and an itemized receipt
The driver photographs the vehicle at pickup and at drop-off. The receipt is itemized with the pickup, the destination, the mileage and the service, which is what insurers and roadside plans ask for when you claim reimbursement. Drivers never quote prices themselves, so the number on the receipt is the number dispatch gave you.
What we stand for: price first, your destination, the right truck the first time
We quote the price before the truck rolls, take your vehicle where you choose, send the truck your vehicle actually needs, and never upsell on scene.
Price first
A tow is a hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your destination; a roadside job is one flat price. No night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges. How the number is built is explained on the towing prices page, linked below.
You choose the destination
After a breakdown or an accident, the car goes to your shop, your dealer, your body shop or your driveway. Never to a yard we picked.
The right truck the first time
All-wheel-drive, electric, lowered and damaged cars ride on a flatbed. A front-wheel-drive car that rolls and steers can go on a wheel-lift. Box trucks, vans and buses get a medium or heavy-duty truck. Sending the right one first means one bill, not two.
No upselling on scene
The driver does the job you approved. If the scene turns out different from what was described, the driver calls dispatch and dispatch calls you before anything changes.
Want the number before you decide? Call and ask. It obligates you to nothing.
