Accident and collision towing in Edison, NJ: your car goes to the shop you choose, 20 minutes from Linden
The minutes after an accident in Edison 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 about 20 minutes.
Why Edison drivers call us for accident towing before anyone else
In Edison, accident towing is the private tow you call yourself, about 20 minutes from Linden, that winches the wreck onto a flatbed, sweeps the lane on Route 1, photographs the car for the adjuster and delivers it to the body shop you choose rather than a rotation yard.
Nobody plans a crash near Menlo Park Mall, which is why the tow decision usually gets made by whoever is on scene first. If that is the rotation company, the car sits in their yard at a daily rate until you show up with cash and a release. If it is us, the car is on a flatbed heading to your body shop with an itemized receipt. (908) 444-0129 reaches a dispatcher who sends a truck to Edison from Linden in about 20 minutes, and the officer usually holds the scene that long.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed. The driver reads that before he leaves Linden: which corner of Edison the call is from decides whether he rigs the winch on the way or expects a car that rolls.
Beating the rotation tow in Edison
The order matters at an Edison scene: (908) 444-0129 first or at the same time as the police, then a plain sentence to the officer that your tow is coming from Linden and the car is going to your shop near Menlo Park Mall or wherever you choose. Officers in Edison release cars to private tows all the time as long as the truck shows up promptly, and 20 minutes from Linden counts as promptly. The exception is a car sitting in a live lane on Route 1 or I-287; then the officer may not be able to wait, so tell the dispatcher that and we push the truck harder.
Wreck recovery on Route 1, not just a hook
The Menlo Park Mall and dealer-row strip; jughandles, constant merges, rear-end collisions and lot lockouts. That kind of crash leaves a car that will not roll, and the recovery is winch work: deck down, cable out, boards under a corner that would dig in, a dolly under a folded wheel. Nothing is dragged. After the load the driver sweeps glass and plastic off the pavement so the officer can reopen Route 1 the moment the truck pulls away.
Documentation that gets an Edison accident tow reimbursed
The driver shoots the car from all four corners before it goes on the deck and again when it comes off, and the receipt lists the pickup on Route 1 or wherever in Edison the crash was, the shop it went to and the miles between. That is what an adjuster asks for. Collision coverage pays for the tow to a repair shop as a rule, and an at-fault driver's liability carrier usually pays it back when the claim settles.
Stopping the storage clock in Edison
A car already sitting in an impound yard is bleeding money by the day, and the yard's hours rarely match yours. Give us a signed release and we handle the rest: the yard visit, the fees paid on your behalf and itemized, and delivery to the shop you choose in Edison or wherever it is going. Body shops around Menlo Park Mall and the Menlo Park side of town see us on these runs every week.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in EdisonThe five steps from a crash in Edison to the car at your body shop
Move away from traffic, dial 911 for injuries or a blocked lane, then call us with the exact spot in Edison; tell the officer a private tow is minutes out and name the destination; photograph both cars; empty the glovebox and trunk; the flatbed winches the car and delivers it.
Step one: out of traffic, and 911 if anyone is hurt
Get everyone out of the travel lanes and behind something solid; on Route 1 that is the guardrail, in Menlo Park 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: call us and say exactly where
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 Route 1, your driveway in Edison, 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 20 minutes away and the car is going to my body shop. Edison officers hear it often and normally wait. If the car has to move right now because it is blocking Route 1, ask if our truck can take it straight from the scene instead of the yard.
Step four: photograph the scene before anything moves
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 an Edison scene, so do it while the truck is on its way.
Step five: recovery, sweep, delivery, receipt
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 Menlo Park Mall is closed, we can hold the car overnight and deliver in the morning rather than leaving it on an Edison 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 Edison.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for accident towing in Edison: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
From Edison the whole accident towing call runs in three parts: a three-minute phone call with a quoted price, about 20 minutes while the truck drives in from Linden via NJ Turnpike Exit 10, and fifteen to twenty minutes on scene to load, strap and photograph the car before it leaves for your destination.
Most people in Edison call for accident towing once in several years, so none of it feels familiar. The steps below happen in the same order on every call, so you know what comes next.
The first minute: what the dispatcher asks when you call from Edison
Someone picks up (908) 444-0129 around the clock: no menu, no callback queue, no hold music. You are asked the same four things every caller is asked: where the car is (road, direction, nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 10, or the lot name), what it is, what went wrong, and where you want it taken. If the car is in the lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots, say which level or section; the driver goes straight to it instead of circling.
Minutes one to three: the price and the dispatch
Once the dispatcher has the location, the vehicle and the destination, you hear a single price. A tow is the hook fee plus the mileage to the address you gave, and the number holds on scene. If you agree, the nearest available truck is assigned before you hang up, and the arrival window you are given comes from where that truck really is, not from a billboard on Route 1. You pay nothing until the job is finished.
While the truck is on its way to Edison
From Linden the truck runs Route 1 and I-287 and takes NJ Turnpike Exit 10 into Edison, about 20 minutes off-peak; when the weather or the traffic is bad you are told the honest window on the call. Expect a call from the driver when he is minutes away so you know which truck to look for. Use the wait to gather the key, your license, registration and insurance card, and take anything you need out of the car.
Loading the car in Edison: what the fifteen to twenty minutes look like
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 township driveway, a curb, a lot at Menlo Park Mall 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.
Once the job is done in Edison: paperwork and next steps
You get an itemized receipt by text or email with the hook fee, the mileage and the addresses, which is what an insurer or a warranty company asks for. If a question comes up later, the same dispatch line answers it; there is no separate billing department to chase. The whole picture of towing in Edison is on the Edison towing page.
The clock starts when you call (908) 444-0129: three minutes to a quote, about 20 minutes to a truck in Edison.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyRoute 1, I-287, NJ Turnpike and Route 27: how our trucks reach Edison for accident towing, road by road
Route 1, I-287 and NJ Turnpike carry our trucks from Linden into Edison, with NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent) as the ramps we use, and we answer accident towing calls on all of them; 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 Edison by its roads: Route 1, I-287 and NJ Turnpike 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.
Route 1: accident towing response in Edison
The Menlo Park Mall and dealer-row strip; jughandles, constant merges, rear-end collisions and lot lockouts. Say which direction you were travelling on Route 1 and the nearest cross street; the driver approaches from the right side and stops with the amber bar between you and traffic.
I-287 through Edison: accident towing on the road and off it
Runs through northern Edison toward Piscataway and the Turnpike; the Route 1 interchange and the Durham Avenue stretch are frequent breakdown spots. Say which direction you were travelling on I-287 and the nearest cross street; the driver approaches from the right side and stops with the amber bar between you and traffic.
Accident towing after a breakdown on NJ Turnpike near Edison: how the handoff works
Exit 10 is Edison's; the I-287 connection and the Raritan toll plaza area back up daily. 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 Route 27 in Edison
Cuts through the township from Metuchen to Highland Park; slow, parked-up, tows to local shops. A wreck on Route 27 is quoted the same flat way as any Edison tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Oak Tree Road through Edison: accident towing on the road and off it
The business district; double-parking, tight turns and constant roadside calls. A wreck on Oak Tree Road is quoted the same flat way as any Edison tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue: accident towing response in Edison
The township's long local spines; commuter traffic and neighborhood driveways. A crash on Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
Edison by exit number
Our drivers reach Edison by NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent). 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.
If you are on the side of Route 1 or any road near Edison: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in EdisonWhere we provide accident towing in Edison: Raritan Center industrial park, Edison station and Menlo Park Mall and the lots at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots
The common Edison pickup points for accident towing are Raritan Center industrial park, Edison station, Menlo Park Mall, Route 1 dealer row and Middlesex College and Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 20 minutes.
Accident towing when the car stops at Raritan Center industrial park
Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Raritan Center industrial park rarely need police, which means there is no rotation truck to race. Photograph both cars, swap details, and a flatbed from Linden carries yours to the shop in about 20 minutes.
Accident towing when the car stops at Edison station
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Edison station in Edison 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 Menlo Park Mall
Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Menlo Park Mall rarely need police, which means there is no rotation truck to race. Photograph both cars, swap details, and a flatbed from Linden carries yours to the shop in about 20 minutes.
Route 1 dealer row: accident towing response
Parking-lot collisions at Route 1 dealer row are low speed and high damage: bumpers, fenders, a wheel knocked out of line. If the car pulls or scrapes, do not drive it. We reach Route 1 dealer row in about 20 minutes and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Middlesex College: accident towing response
Parking-lot collisions at Middlesex College are low speed and high damage: bumpers, fenders, a wheel knocked out of line. If the car pulls or scrapes, do not drive it. We reach Middlesex College in about 20 minutes and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Accident towing at JFK Medical Center
After a fender-bender at JFK Medical Center, 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 JFK Medical Center for your adjuster.
Accident towing at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border
Collisions in the lots at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border happen at commuter speed, backing out and cutting through rows. If the car is damaged enough that it pulls, leaks or will not roll, it rides the flatbed to your shop; if it just needs a jump after sitting, that is a jump start instead.
Stuck at Raritan Center industrial park 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 EdisonThe crashes Edison sends us to, from Route 1 to the lot at Menlo Park Mall
Edison accident towing covers the whole range: a bumper pushed into the radiator on Route 1, a wheel folded under at an intersection, a single car off the road near NJ Turnpike Exit 10, a parking-lot collision at Menlo Park Mall, a rollover after the police release it, and a car already impounded.
Rear-end collisions at the lights on Route 1
Stop-and-go on Route 1 produces more rear-end tows in Edison than anything else. The damage hides: a radiator pushed a couple of inches, a condenser cracked, a bumper beam bent. If it leaks or rubs, driving it turns a bumper job into an engine job. Photos first, flatbed second.
Intersection crashes in Edison
Left-turn and T-bone crashes at the corners around Route 1 dealer row produce the ugliest loads: a knuckle bent, a wheel tucked under, a steering rack locked. The recovery is a winch pull with a dolly under the bad corner. Telling the dispatcher which side is hit saves ten minutes of rigging on scene.
Single-car crashes off I-287
Runs through northern Edison toward Piscataway and the Turnpike; the Route 1 interchange and the Durham Avenue stretch are frequent breakdown spots. A car that left the road there is recovered in two moves: winched back onto the pavement, then winched onto the deck. A car on its side or roof waits for police to clear the scene. A car that is merely stuck, not wrecked, is a winch out in Edison and a smaller bill.
Parking-lot collisions at Menlo Park Mall
Lot collisions at Menlo Park Mall look minor and cost real money. The tell is a car that drifts, scrapes or clunks over the speed bumps on the way out. Tow it the short distance to the shop rather than finding out on I-287; the price is flat and the receipt has the photos your adjuster wants.
Cars already impounded after a crash
Sign a release, we pick it up, pay the yard on your behalf and add it to your receipt, and deliver it to your shop in Edison or near Menlo Park Mall the same day. Every day it sits is another day of storage.
Drivable but not safe to drive
The car starts, so it seems fine. Then the fan chews through the radiator on Route 1 or the bent tie rod lets go at speed. If anything is leaking, rubbing or pulling after a crash in Edison, the tow is the cheap option: insurance normally pays for it, and it never pays for the damage from driving a wounded car.
However the car ended up stopped in Edison, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedHow much accident towing costs in Edison, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
The price of an accident tow from Edison 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.
What an accident tow from Edison is made of
Two numbers: the hook fee, which includes the winch work a wreck needs, and the mileage from the Edison scene to your shop. Short runs stay inside the base mileage. The dispatcher gives you the total before you commit.
Why a private accident tow costs less than a rotation tow
The rotation company is paid by the day, so its bill grows while you are on the phone with your insurer. Hook, storage, a release fee, and a second tow to get the car to a shop in Edison. Ours is a hook and a mileage, paid once, and the car is already at the shop. A few days of yard time usually doubles the cost.
Collision coverage, liability carriers and our receipt
Collision coverage almost always includes the tow to a repair shop. If the other driver was at fault, their liability coverage typically reimburses it. Submit our itemized receipt with the claim number; it lists the Edison pickup, the destination and the mileage, which is what adjusters ask for. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site.
Why there is no price list for Edison 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 Edison.
Want the number for accident towing in Edison before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadAccident towing in every Edison neighborhood: Menlo Park, Oak Tree, Clara Barton and Raritan Center and more
Menlo Park, Oak Tree, Clara Barton, Raritan Center, Bonhamtown, North Edison, Piscatawaytown and Stelton: every section of Edison gets accident towing at the same flat quoted price.
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. Say the Edison neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Accident towing in Menlo Park
In Menlo Park the approach depends on the street: a Menlo Park driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Menlo Park. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Menlo Park as everywhere in Edison.
Accident towing in Oak Tree
In Oak Tree the approach depends on the street: an Oak Tree driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Oak Tree. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Oak Tree as everywhere in Edison.
Accident towing in Clara Barton
In Clara Barton the approach depends on the street: a Clara Barton driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Clara Barton. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Clara Barton as everywhere in Edison.
Accident towing in Raritan Center
In Raritan Center the approach depends on the street: a Raritan Center driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Raritan Center. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Raritan Center as everywhere in Edison.
Bonhamtown, Edison: accident towing response
Calls from Bonhamtown are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Edison. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Bonhamtown and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
North Edison, Edison: accident towing response
North Edison gets the same response as the rest of Edison: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 20 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in North Edison and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Menlo Park or the far side of Edison: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch for accident towing.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchAccident towing for every kind of Edison driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 1
Accident towing in Edison serves roughly 107,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots, families in the residential streets, businesses near Menlo Park Mall, and drivers who only know Edison as an exit on Route 1.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed. That mix shapes the accident towing calls we get from Edison.
Edison commuters, from the platform at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots to the driveway
The lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots is where Edison 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.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Edison
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. Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. 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.
Businesses and fleets near Menlo Park Mall and Route 1 dealer row
Around Menlo Park Mall and Route 1 dealer row 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 Edison 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.
Strangers to Edison: breakdowns on Route 1 on the way somewhere else
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Edison have never heard of it; they were on Route 1 heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 10, 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.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Edison, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedAccident towing in Edison by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of accident towing call from Edison: ice and weak batteries, then potholes, then heat and tires, then wet leaves and deer at dusk; the 24-hour dispatch is the same all year. Route 1 underpasses and the Raritan Center low ground flood; I-287's Edison stretch ices first.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Edison for a few winters knows what the calendar does to the calls. The notes below are the pattern, so you know what to expect from accident towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Winter in Edison: 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. In Edison the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
Pothole season in Edison: March and April on I-287
Spring rain after a dry week makes the ramps greasy and rear-end crashes common at the lights. I-287 and the side streets off it break up every March; a car that hit a hole and now vibrates or pulls should not be driven to the shop.
Accident towing in Edison in July and August
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 Route 1 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Fall accident towing in Edison: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall means deer season and early darkness; a deer strike is an accident tow with a body-shop destination and an insurance claim. Wet leaves on the ramps off Route 1 are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Edison, not a tow, and is priced that way.
The seasons change the calls from Edison, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingAccident towing in Edison: the questions drivers ask before calling
Arrival time to Edison, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
How fast can an accident tow truck get to Edison?
Normally about 20 minutes from Linden. Give the dispatcher the road, your direction and the nearest exit or cross street in Edison and you get an honest arrival window, not a guess.
Can I choose my own tow if an officer is already at the crash in Edison?
In most cases, yes. Say to the officer that your tow is 20 minutes away and the car is going to your shop. The only time it fails is a car blocking traffic on Route 1; then ask whether our truck can take it straight from the scene.
Is the tow after a crash in Edison covered by insurance?
Yes, as a rule: your collision coverage pays the tow to the shop, or the other driver's insurer does if the crash was their fault. Submit our receipt with the claim number; it is written for adjusters.
Can you tow the car to my house in Edison instead of a shop?
Yes. The destination is yours to pick, and a driveway in Menlo Park is as good as a shop. Just keep it off the street; Edison and most towns ticket damaged vehicles left at the curb.
Can you pick up my car from the impound yard and bring it to my shop?
Yes. You sign a release, we pick it up, pay the yard on your behalf and add it to your receipt, and deliver it to your shop in Edison or wherever you choose the same day.
A wheel is bent under after a crash on Route 1. Can you still tow it?
That is what the flatbed winch is for. A wheel tucked under, locked steering or a seized transmission all load the same way: winched up the lowered deck, dolly under the bad corner. Nothing gets dragged.
Can I get pictures of the damage from the driver?
Yes. The driver photographs the car before it goes on the deck and again at the shop, and the receipt lists the Edison pickup, destination and miles. Ask and the photos are yours.
The car runs after a bump at Menlo Park Mall but something feels wrong. Do I need a tow?
Yes. A bent tie rod or a radiator touching the fan gets worse fast on Route 1. The tow is usually covered; the damage from driving it is not.
Can my passenger and I ride along to the shop from Edison?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab from the Edison scene. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car so we plan for it.
Can you deliver to a body shop that is closed?
We can leave it in the shop's lot near Menlo Park Mall with the key in the drop box, or hold it overnight and deliver first thing in the morning rather than leaving it on an Edison street.
