Accident and collision towing in Carteret, NJ: your car goes to the shop you choose, 8 minutes from Linden
The minutes after an accident in Carteret are when the most expensive decision gets made for you unless you make it. Call your own tow, tell the officer it is coming, and keep control of the car and the bill. We arrive from Linden in a few minutes.
Why Carteret drivers call us for accident towing before anyone else
The NJ Towing Service handles accident towing in Carteret by reaching the scene from Linden in a few minutes, recovering the car with the flatbed winch, clearing the road, documenting the damage for your claim and taking the car to your shop, so no storage yard ever bills you.
When police respond to a crash in Carteret and nobody has called a tow, they call the town's rotation company and the car goes to that company's yard. From that moment you pay daily storage plus a release fee, and getting the car out means a trip in person during business hours. It is not a scam; it is the default. Calling us at (908) 444-0129 while the officer is still writing keeps the car yours: we reach Carteret from Linden in a few minutes, load it, and deliver it to the shop you name.
Linden's neighbor across the Rahway River: a compact borough of two-family homes and tight residential streets on the west, and a wall of warehouses, distribution centers and the old industrial waterfront on the east along the Arthur Kill. Contractor pickups, delivery vans and the box trucks feeding the Turnpike Exit 12 warehouse belt are the everyday traffic. That is where the collisions happen, and it is why the driver arrives with the winch rigged, the snatch block ready and boards for a car that will not roll straight.
Beating the rotation tow in Carteret
If nobody is hurt and the car is not blocking a live lane, call (908) 444-0129 before or while you call the police, and tell the responding officer a private tow is on the way and where the car is going. In most Carteret scenes the officer will release the vehicle to a private tow that arrives in a reasonable time. From Linden that is 8 minutes, which almost always works. If the car is in a live lane on Roosevelt Avenue, police may need it moved immediately; say so and we will still try to beat the clock.
Wreck recovery on Roosevelt Avenue, not just a hook
A car that has just been hit on Roosevelt Avenue is not a car that can be driven up a ramp. Wheels get folded under, steering locks, transmissions jam, and airbag dust is everywhere. The driver lowers the deck, rigs the winch and a snatch block if the angle is bad, slides a dolly under a corner that will not turn, and pulls the car up without dragging it. Then the lane on Roosevelt Avenue is swept before the truck leaves.
Documentation that gets a Carteret accident tow reimbursed
We photograph the vehicle before loading and at drop-off and hand you an itemized receipt with the Carteret pickup location, the destination and the mileage. Collision coverage almost always pays for the tow to a repair shop; if the other driver was at fault, their liability carrier typically reimburses it. The receipt is built to be accepted the first time.
Already at a rotation yard? We get it out the same day
If the car was taken to a rotation yard before you could call, we can pick it up on a signed release, pay the yard on your behalf and add it to your receipt, and deliver the car to your body shop the same day. Every day it sits is another day of storage. The Carteret shops around Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina and the dealers on Roosevelt Avenue see us on these runs constantly.
If you need accident towing in Carteret this minute, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129All towing in CarteretWhat to do at an accident scene in Carteret, step by step, and how the tow goes
Get safe, call 911 if anyone is hurt, call us and give the location on the Carteret road, tell the officer a private tow is coming and where the car is going, photograph everything, take your belongings, and let the truck recover the car.
Step one: out of traffic, and 911 if anyone is hurt
Get everyone out of the travel lanes and behind something solid; on Roosevelt Avenue that is the guardrail, in Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue it is the curb. Anyone hurt, or a car sitting in a live lane, is a 911 call before anything else. Then dial (908) 444-0129.
Step two: tell dispatch where in Carteret and where the car should go
The highway and direction with the nearest exit, or the intersection or address. Whether the car rolls, whether a wheel is bent under, whether fluids are leaking. What you drive. Where you want it to go: your body shop, a dealer on Roosevelt Avenue, your driveway in Carteret, or "not sure yet". The dispatcher quotes the tow and the truck rolls from Linden.
Step three: keep the rotation truck off the scene
The words are simple: a private tow is 8 minutes away and the car is going to my body shop. Carteret officers hear it often and normally wait. If the car has to move right now because it is blocking Roosevelt Avenue, ask if our truck can take it straight from the scene instead of the yard.
Step four: photos, paperwork and your belongings
Shoot everything: each car from all sides, both plates, the intersection or the shoulder, tire marks, the other driver's documents. Then clear the car out. Registration, insurance card, garage opener, the bags in the trunk. The driver is not going to go through your glovebox at a Carteret scene, so do it while the truck is on its way.
Step five: winch, sweep, drop-off, paperwork
The car is winched onto the flatbed, the lane is swept, and the car goes to the destination you named. If the body shop near Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina is closed, we can hold the car overnight and deliver in the morning rather than leaving it on a Carteret street. You get an itemized receipt and the photos on request.
Have the road, the cross street and the make and model ready. That is all the dispatcher needs to quote accident towing in Carteret.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for accident towing in Carteret: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
An accident towing call from Carteret takes about three minutes on the phone, about 8 minutes for the truck to arrive from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes on scene before the car is loaded and moving to the address you gave.
The fastest way to take the stress out of accident towing in Carteret is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.
Minute zero: the call from Carteret
The call to (908) 444-0129 is answered by a dispatcher at any hour, not a recording. Four questions follow: exactly where the car is in Carteret (the road and direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 12, or the name of the lot), the make and model, what happened, and the destination. If you are not sure exactly where you are in Carteret, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
The quote and the dispatch, before the third minute
With the location, the vehicle and the destination known, the dispatcher quotes one number. For a tow it is the hook fee plus mileage to the address you gave; the number does not change on scene. Say yes and the nearest available truck is assigned while you are still on the line. You are given an arrival window built from where that truck actually is, not from a slogan. Nothing is charged until the job is done.
About 8 minutes on the road: Linden to Carteret
The truck comes in on NJ Turnpike and Roosevelt Avenue and uses NJ Turnpike Exit 12. Off-peak it is a few minutes; in a storm the dispatcher tells you the honest number. The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours and can point out the car. Take a photo of the car where it sits and note the nearest sign or cross street; it helps the driver find you and it helps later if an insurer asks.
On scene in Carteret: fifteen to twenty minutes to load
On arrival the driver checks your name and where the car is going, takes photos of it as it sits, and sets the truck up for the spot: a borough driveway, a curb, a lot at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina or a parking deck each need a different angle, which is why the dispatcher asked where the car was. Then it is winched or driven up, strapped at all four wheels and photographed again. For an after-hours drop at a shop, the key goes wherever the shop asked. Riding along in the cab is usually fine; mention it on the call.
Afterward: the itemized receipt and the follow-up
An itemized receipt arrives by text or email showing the hook fee, the mileage and both addresses: exactly what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan wants to see. Keep the receipt with the car's paperwork; roadside plans and some insurers reimburse it. Everything else we do in Carteret is on the Carteret towing page.
Three minutes on the phone, about 8 minutes on the road. Start the clock: call (908) 444-0129.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Carteret: accident towing response on NJ Turnpike, Roosevelt Avenue, Washington Avenue and Industrial Road / Middlesex Avenue
Our route from Linden to Carteret runs NJ Turnpike, Roosevelt Avenue and Washington Avenue, coming off at NJ Turnpike Exit 12, and accident towing on any of those roads is a direct dispatch; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Carteret by its roads: NJ Turnpike, Roosevelt Avenue and Washington Avenue and the streets between them. Each note below is the one our drivers use. On an accident towing call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
NJ Turnpike at Carteret: the Authority's garage first, then accident towing from us
Exit 12 is Carteret's own; the ramps onto Roosevelt Avenue and the Industrial Road warehouse loop are the busiest breakdown spots. 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.
Accident towing on Roosevelt Avenue in Carteret
The main east-west spine from the Turnpike to downtown; narrow, parked-up, and where most in-town tows start. On Roosevelt Avenue we sweep the lane for glass and plastic before we leave so the road reopens clean.
Accident towing on Washington Avenue in Carteret
Runs through the residential heart to Port Reading; curbside parking on both sides leaves little room to load. A crash on Washington Avenue usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
Accident towing on Industrial Road / Middlesex Avenue in Carteret
The warehouse district roads; heavy truck traffic, wide shoulders, medium-duty calls. A crash on Industrial Road / Middlesex Avenue usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
Accident towing on Blair Road in Carteret
Connector to Woodbridge and Route 1 & 9; potholes at the rail crossing. A wreck on Blair Road is quoted the same flat way as any Carteret tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Carteret by exit number
Our drivers reach Carteret by NJ Turnpike Exit 12. If you are on the highway, the exit number is the single most useful thing you can tell the dispatcher about accident towing. On the express lanes of the Turnpike and Parkway, where there is no exit to reach, the Authority's garage brings the car off and we take over at the exit.

Call from the shoulderTowing in CarteretRoosevelt Avenue downtown, Carteret Performing Arts Center and Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina and Carteret Ferry Terminal (Waterfront Park): the Carteret spots that call for accident towing most
The common Carteret pickup points for accident towing are Roosevelt Avenue downtown, Carteret Performing Arts Center, Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina, Turnpike Exit 12 warehouse and distribution district and Carteret Park and Carteret Ferry Terminal (Waterfront Park) and NJ Transit bus stops along Roosevelt Avenue; a truck or technician reaches any of them in a few minutes.
Accident towing at Roosevelt Avenue downtown
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Roosevelt Avenue downtown in Carteret is a private tow, not a rotation tow, if you call first. Say the lot and the row; the driver knows where the truck can stop.
Accident towing at Carteret Performing Arts Center
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Carteret Performing Arts Center in Carteret is a private tow, not a rotation tow, if you call first. Say the lot and the row; the driver knows where the truck can stop.
Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina, photograph both cars before either moves, exchange information, and call us. The car goes to your body shop the same day, and the receipt lists the pickup at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina for your adjuster.
Accident towing when the car stops at Turnpike Exit 12 warehouse and distribution district
After a fender-bender at Turnpike Exit 12 warehouse and distribution district, photograph both cars before either moves, exchange information, and call us. The car goes to your body shop the same day, and the receipt lists the pickup at Turnpike Exit 12 warehouse and distribution district for your adjuster.
Accident towing when the car stops at Carteret Park
After a fender-bender at Carteret Park, photograph both cars before either moves, exchange information, and call us. The car goes to your body shop the same day, and the receipt lists the pickup at Carteret Park for your adjuster.
The station lots at Carteret Ferry Terminal (Waterfront Park) and NJ Transit bus stops along Roosevelt Avenue: accident towing for commuters
The commuter lots at Carteret Ferry Terminal (Waterfront Park) and NJ Transit bus stops along Roosevelt Avenue produce a steady run of low-speed crashes: a reversing SUV, a cut across the rows at 6 p.m. A car that pulls, leaks or will not roll after one of them goes on the flatbed to your body shop; a car that merely sat all day with the lights on needs a jump start, not a tow.
Stuck at Roosevelt Avenue downtown or another of these places? Give the name and the lot section, and the truck or the technician heads out.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in CarteretCollision tows in Carteret: rear-enders, intersections, guardrails, lots and impound yards
Carteret accident towing covers the whole range: a bumper pushed into the radiator on Roosevelt Avenue, a wheel folded under at an intersection, a single car off the road near NJ Turnpike Exit 12, a parking-lot collision at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina, a rollover after the police release it, and a car already impounded.
Rear-enders on Roosevelt Avenue in Carteret
The main east-west spine from the Turnpike to downtown; narrow, parked-up, and where most in-town tows start. The rear-end hit is the result: radiator shoved into the fan, bumper cover dragging, trunk lid sprung. Coolant on the ground or a fan rubbing means the car does not move under its own power. Photograph it, then it rides the flatbed to your shop.
Intersection crashes in Carteret
A side impact at a Carteret intersection folds a wheel under the fender and jams the steering. That car is not rolling anywhere: the driver winches it up the lowered deck at an angle with a dolly under the damaged corner. Say which corner took the hit and he arrives rigged for it.
Single-car crashes off Washington Avenue
Single-car accidents into a guardrail or a pole often leave the car off the pavement. It is winched back first, then loaded. If the car is on its side or roof, police clear the scene before we recover it. See winch out in Carteret for cars that are stuck but not wrecked.
Parking-lot collisions at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina
Five miles an hour at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina still bends a tie rod or cracks a radiator support. A car that pulls or scrapes afterward should not go back onto Roosevelt Avenue. The tow to the shop is a flat quote and the photos go with the claim.
Getting a car out of a rotation yard in Carteret
The rotation yard bills by the day and keeps banker's hours. Sign a release for us, and we collect the car, pay the yard's fees, itemize them on your receipt and deliver the car to your body shop in Carteret the same afternoon.
It still runs, but should it leave Carteret on its own?
A bumper tap can push a radiator into a fan or bend a tie rod. If anything is leaking, rubbing or pulling after a Carteret crash, do not test it on the highway. The tow is usually covered; the repair from driving it is not.
However the car ended up stopped in Carteret, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedWhat accident towing costs in Carteret, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
The price of an accident tow from Carteret is a flat hook fee plus per-mile to your destination, given on the phone before dispatch, with no storage, release or after-hours fees; insurers reimburse it as a rule, either your collision coverage or the at-fault driver's liability carrier.
Two numbers: hook and mileage from the Carteret scene
The hook fee pays for the truck, the recovery rigging and the time on Roosevelt Avenue; the mileage pays for the distance to wherever the car is going. A body shop in Carteret or a neighboring town is usually inside the base mileage, so the hook fee is most of the bill. You hear one figure on the call and it does not change on scene.
Why a private accident tow costs less than a rotation tow
A rotation tow bills the hook, then storage by the day, then a release fee, and you pay a second tow to get the car from the yard to the shop. A private tow is one hook, one mileage, straight from Roosevelt Avenue or Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina to the shop. The difference after three days in a yard is usually several hundred dollars for a Carteret driver.
Getting the Carteret tow paid back by insurance
Your collision policy pays the tow to a repair shop as a matter of course, and when the other driver caused the crash their liability carrier usually pays it back. The itemized receipt shows the pickup in Carteret, the destination and the miles, which is exactly what the adjuster's form wants. Pay on scene by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash and file it.
Why there is no price list for Carteret on the website
Prices depend on the truck the job needs and the distance to where you want the car, and both are known in thirty seconds on the phone. That is why the website says "quoted first" instead of printing a number that would be wrong for half of Carteret.
Want the number for accident towing in Carteret before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadAccident towing in every Carteret neighborhood: Industrial east side, Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue, West Carteret and Chrome and more
From Industrial east side to Waterfront district, every part of Carteret gets accident towing from the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is Industrial east side, Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue, West Carteret, Chrome and Waterfront district.
Street parking on tight two-family blocks west of Roosevelt Avenue, open lots at the warehouses. No decks; a flatbed can load almost anywhere but often needs a car pulled forward from the curb first. The driver's first question is where the car is sitting, because the approach differs by street.
Industrial east side: what accident towing looks like here
Industrial east side gets the same response as the rest of Carteret: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in a few minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Industrial east side and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue: what accident towing looks like here
Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue gets the same response as the rest of Carteret: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in a few minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
West Carteret, Carteret: accident towing response
West Carteret gets the same response as the rest of Carteret: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in a few minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in West Carteret and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Chrome, Carteret: accident towing response
In Chrome the approach depends on the street: a Chrome driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Chrome. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Chrome as everywhere in Carteret.
Waterfront district: what accident towing looks like here
In Waterfront district the approach depends on the street: a Waterfront district driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Waterfront district. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Waterfront district as everywhere in Carteret.
Industrial east side or the far side of Carteret: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch for accident towing.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for accident towing in Carteret: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Roosevelt Avenue
Roughly 25,000 people live in Carteret, and accident towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Carteret Ferry Terminal (Waterfront Park), families on the residential streets, the businesses around Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina, and the stranger whose car quit on Roosevelt Avenue.
Linden's neighbor across the Rahway River: a compact borough of two-family homes and tight residential streets on the west, and a wall of warehouses, distribution centers and the old industrial waterfront on the east along the Arthur Kill. Contractor pickups, delivery vans and the box trucks feeding the Turnpike Exit 12 warehouse belt are the everyday traffic. Those are the drivers of Carteret, and each group below calls for accident towing for its own reasons.
The commuter's car in Carteret: Carteret Ferry Terminal (Waterfront Park) and the roads to it
The lot at Carteret Ferry Terminal (Waterfront Park) is where Carteret batteries die: a car sits ten hours, the lights were left on, and at 7 p.m. it is dark and cold. A tow to the shop from the lot or the driveway is quoted before the truck leaves; if a jump or a tire would do instead, the dispatcher says so. Commuters need one thing above all: a real arrival time, and they get one.
Carteret households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
Family calls come from driveways and school lots: the minivan that will not start before pickup, the second car that sat too long, the teenager's first flat. Street parking on tight two-family blocks west of Roosevelt Avenue, open lots at the warehouses. No decks; a flatbed can load almost anywhere but often needs a car pulled forward from the curb first. The truck is set up for the driveway before it leaves Linden. Kids and pets ride with you in the cab, not in the towed car.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina
Around Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina and Turnpike Exit 12 warehouse and distribution district the calls come from work vehicles: a plumber's van, a florist's car, a landscaper's pickup with a trailer behind it. A business tow from Carteret is priced the same hook-plus-mileage way as anyone else's and lands at the shop you name; anything over a pickup's weight is a heavy-duty job. Fleet accounts get one invoice a month; ask the dispatcher.
Passing through Carteret on Roosevelt Avenue when the car quit
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Carteret have never heard of it; they were on Roosevelt Avenue heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 12, and the truck finds you. The car can go to a shop here, to your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area, quoted as one number.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Roosevelt Avenue: everyone in Carteret calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedAccident towing in Carteret by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
The trucks run to Carteret in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Roosevelt Avenue in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Low ground along the Rahway River and the waterfront floods in heavy rain; the Turnpike ramps ice before the local streets.
The same trucks serve Carteret in every month, but Roosevelt Avenue in January is a different road from Roosevelt Avenue in July. This is how the season changes the accident towing calls we get from Carteret, and how we prepare for each.
Winter in Carteret: what freezes, what slides and what will not start
Winter collisions cluster on the first icy morning of the year; the truck clears the lane first and sorts the paperwork second. The first storm of the year is the busiest night in Carteret; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Roosevelt Avenue has a car on it.
Spring accident towing in Carteret after the thaw
Spring rain after a dry week makes the ramps greasy and rear-end crashes common at the lights. After a hard pothole hit in Carteret, check the tire and the wheel before driving on; if the rim is bent or the sidewall bulges, it is a flatbed job, not a drive.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Carteret
Summer accident calls come with heat, traffic and holiday volume; the crew works fast to get the car and the people off the shoulder. Holiday weekends load Roosevelt Avenue with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Carteret
Fall means deer season and early darkness; a deer strike is an accident tow with a body-shop destination and an insurance claim. Deer cross Washington Avenue and the quieter roads of Carteret around Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Carteret with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
The seasons change the calls from Carteret, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingQuestions Carteret drivers ask about accident towing before they call
The questions below cover arrival time in Carteret, the price of accident towing, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How long until a tow truck reaches a crash in Carteret?
A few minutes, which is usually short enough that the officer waits. The dispatcher confirms the window once you say where on Roosevelt Avenue or which corner of Carteret you are.
The police in Carteret are already on scene. Can I still use my own tow?
In most cases, yes. Say to the officer that your tow is 8 minutes away and the car is going to your shop. The only time it fails is a car blocking traffic on Roosevelt Avenue; then ask whether our truck can take it straight from the scene.
Does my policy reimburse accident towing in Carteret?
Collision coverage almost always pays for the tow to a repair shop. If the other driver was at fault on Roosevelt Avenue or at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina, their liability coverage typically reimburses it. Our receipt has what adjusters need.
Can the wrecked car go to my driveway in Carteret?
Yes. The destination is yours to pick, and a driveway in Downtown / Roosevelt Avenue is as good as a shop. Just keep it off the street; Carteret and most towns ticket damaged vehicles left at the curb.
My car is already at a rotation yard. Can you get it out?
We do it constantly. Sign a release, and we collect the car, settle the yard's bill on your behalf, put it on your receipt, and drop the car at your shop that day so the daily storage stops.
My car will not move after a collision on Roosevelt Avenue. What then?
Yes. It is winched onto the flatbed on the Roosevelt Avenue shoulder with a dolly under a wheel that will not turn. Bent frames, folded wheels and torn tires are routine for a Carteret crash.
Will you photograph the car for the insurance claim?
Yes, before loading and at drop-off. The itemized receipt lists the Carteret pickup, the destination and the mileage. Photos are available on request.
After a lot crash at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina the car pulls to one side. Tow or drive?
Yes. Pulling, scraping or a new noise after a lot collision at Carteret Waterfront Park and the Arthur Kill marina is the car telling you something is bent. The short tow to the shop is a covered expense; the engine that overheats on Washington Avenue is not.
Can I ride in the tow truck from the scene in Carteret?
One passenger, as a rule. If there are more of you, tell the dispatcher when you call so a ride can be sorted before the truck leaves Carteret.
The body shop is closed tonight. What happens to the car?
Two options: the car goes into the shop's lot tonight with the key in the drop box, or it sleeps at our yard and is delivered when the shop opens. Either beats a wreck sitting on a Carteret street overnight.
If your question about accident towing in Carteret is missing, call it in. A dispatcher answers it directly and prices the job in the same breath.
