Accident towing in Fort Lee, NJ: a private tow from I-95 / GWB approach to your body shop, never a storage yard, 44 minutes from Linden
The minutes after an accident in Fort Lee 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 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Accident towing near you in Fort Lee: what you get when you call our Linden dispatch
The NJ Towing Service handles accident towing in Fort Lee by reaching the scene from Linden in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, 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 Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee from Linden in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, load it, and deliver it to the shop you name.
The George Washington Bridge's New Jersey end: high-rise towers, Main Street and Lemoine Avenue commerce, I-95 and Routes 1 & 9, 4 and 46 all converging. Bridge-approach breakdowns, high-rise garage calls and Lemoine Avenue crashes. Crashes here rarely leave a car that rolls, so the truck that comes is a flatbed with the winch already set up.
Beating the rotation tow in Fort Lee
The order matters at a Fort Lee 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 George Washington Bridge or wherever you choose. Officers in Fort Lee release cars to private tows all the time as long as the truck shows up promptly, and 44 minutes from Linden counts as promptly. The exception is a car sitting in a live lane on I-95 / GWB approach or Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4; then the officer may not be able to wait, so tell the dispatcher that and we push the truck harder.
Winching a car that will not roll after a Fort Lee crash
A car that has just been hit on I-95 / GWB approach 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 I-95 / GWB approach is swept before the truck leaves.
Photos and a receipt your adjuster accepts
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 I-95 / GWB approach or wherever in Fort Lee 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.
Already at a rotation yard? We get it out the same day
Sometimes the rotation truck wins the race. That does not mean the car has to stay there. You sign a release, we go to the yard, pay the storage and release fee for you, put it on the receipt, and bring the car to your body shop that afternoon. The daily rate stops the moment it leaves. Shops near Fort Lee Historic Park and along Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 in Fort Lee know our trucks from exactly these pickups.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in Fort LeeAccident scene to body shop in Fort Lee: what to do, what to say, and how the recovery works
Move away from traffic, dial 911 for injuries or a blocked lane, then call us with the exact spot in Fort Lee; 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: get safe and call 911 if anyone is hurt or a lane is blocked
On I-95 / GWB approach or Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 get behind the guardrail, away from the car, not in front of or behind it. At a Fort Lee intersection get to the sidewalk. If anyone is hurt or the car is blocking a live lane, 911 first. Then us.
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 I-95 / GWB approach, your driveway in Fort Lee, 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 44 minutes away and the car is going to my body shop. Fort Lee officers hear it often and normally wait. If the car has to move right now because it is blocking I-95 / GWB approach, ask if our truck can take it straight from the scene instead of the yard.
Step four: photos, paperwork and your belongings
Both cars, all four corners, plates, the road and any skid marks on I-95 / GWB approach or at the corner in Downtown Main Street, the other driver's license and insurance card. Take your registration and insurance card, your belongings and anything from the trunk. The driver will not open your glovebox for you at a Fort Lee scene.
Step five: winch, sweep, drop-off, paperwork
Deck down, car winched up, straps on, lane on I-95 / GWB approach swept clean, and the truck heads to the shop you named. When the shop is closed for the night, the car can be held at our yard and dropped first thing rather than sitting on the street in Downtown Main Street. The itemized receipt is yours at the drop, and the photos whenever you ask.
Have the road, the cross street and the make and model ready. That is all the dispatcher needs to quote accident towing in Fort Lee.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of an accident towing call in Fort Lee: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery
An accident towing call from Fort Lee takes about three minutes on the phone, about 44 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.
Most people in Fort Lee 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.
Minute zero: the call from Fort Lee
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 I-95 Fort Lee / GWB exits (Exit 72–74), or the lot name), what it is, what went wrong, and where you want it taken. If the car is in the lot at GWB Bus Station approach, say which level or section; the driver goes straight to it instead of circling.
The quote and the dispatch, before the third minute
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 I-95 / GWB approach. You pay nothing until the job is finished.
While the truck is on its way to Fort Lee
From Linden the truck runs I-95 / GWB approach and Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 and takes I-95 Fort Lee / GWB exits (Exit 72–74) into Fort Lee, about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour 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. 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.
Loading the car in Fort Lee: what the fifteen to twenty minutes look like
The driver confirms your name and the destination, photographs the car, and positions the truck for the street. A driveway, a curb, a lot or a deck each get a different approach, which is why the dispatcher asked. The car is loaded, strapped and photographed again. If it is going to a shop after hours, the key is left the way the shop asked. You can ride along in most cases; say so on the call.
Once the job is done in Fort Lee: 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 the car needs a second move later, from the shop to home, say, the same dispatch line quotes it as a local tow in Fort Lee. Everything else we do in Fort Lee is on the Fort Lee towing page.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Fort Lee in about 44 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyAccident towing on I-95 / GWB approach, Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4, Lemoine Avenue and Main Street / Palisade Avenue: the roads we run to reach Fort Lee
From Linden we reach Fort Lee by I-95 / GWB approach, Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 and Lemoine Avenue, using I-95 Fort Lee / GWB exits (Exit 72–74), Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 interchange and Palisades Interstate Parkway Exit 1, and we provide accident towing on every one of them.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Fort Lee. The notes are what they actually know about each one. When you call for accident towing, say the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
I-95 / GWB approach: accident towing response in Fort Lee
The upper and lower level approaches and the express lanes; the busiest breakdown corridor in Bergen County. A wreck on I-95 / GWB approach is quoted the same flat way as any Fort Lee tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 through Fort Lee: accident towing on the road and off it
All merge into the bridge approach at the Fort Lee interchange; stalled cars in the merges every day. Say which direction you were travelling on Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 and the nearest cross street; the driver approaches from the right side and stops with the amber bar between you and traffic.
Accident towing on Lemoine Avenue in Fort Lee
The main commercial street; congested with tower garage entrances and crashes at the lights. After a collision on Lemoine Avenue, tell the officer a private tow is coming and where the car is going; most will release it to us if we arrive in a reasonable time.
Accident towing on Main Street / Palisade Avenue in Fort Lee
The downtown and cliff-top residential spine; tight parking. A wreck on Main Street / Palisade Avenue is quoted the same flat way as any Fort Lee tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Hudson Terrace through Fort Lee: accident towing on the road and off it
The cliff-edge road along the bridge; steep and icy. After a collision on Hudson Terrace, tell the officer a private tow is coming and where the car is going; most will release it to us if we arrive in a reasonable time.
Fort Lee by exit number
I-95 Fort Lee / GWB exits (Exit 72–74), Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 interchange and Palisades Interstate Parkway Exit 1 are the exits our trucks use for Fort Lee. 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.
Stopped on a shoulder near Fort Lee? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in Fort LeeHoly Name Medical Center (Teaneck border), George Washington Bridge and Fort Lee Historic Park and GWB Bus Station approach: the Fort Lee spots that call for accident towing most
The common Fort Lee pickup points for accident towing are Holy Name Medical Center (Teaneck border), George Washington Bridge, Fort Lee Historic Park, Lemoine Avenue high-rises and Main Street downtown and GWB Bus Station approach and NJ Transit buses on Lemoine Avenue and Main Street to the Port Authority and the GWB terminal; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Holy Name Medical Center (Teaneck border): accident towing response
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Holy Name Medical Center (Teaneck border) in Fort Lee 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 George Washington Bridge
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee 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.
Fort Lee Historic Park: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Fort Lee Historic 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 Fort Lee Historic Park for your adjuster.
Lemoine Avenue high-rises: accident towing response
Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Lemoine Avenue high-rises 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 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Accident towing at Main Street downtown
Parking-lot collisions at Main Street downtown 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 Main Street downtown in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Accident towing at Hudson Lights
Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Hudson Lights 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 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
The station lots at GWB Bus Station approach and NJ Transit buses on Lemoine Avenue and Main Street to the Port Authority and the GWB terminal: accident towing for commuters
At GWB Bus Station approach and NJ Transit buses on Lemoine Avenue and Main Street to the Port Authority and the GWB terminal the crashes are slow and the damage is real: bumpers, quarter panels, a bent tie rod. If it drives badly, do not drive it; the flatbed takes it to the shop you choose. If the only problem is a battery that died while you were on the train, that is a jump start and a smaller bill.
At one of these spots right now? Say the name and the lot, and the truck or the tech is on the way.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in Fort LeeAccident towing situations we handle in Fort Lee
The accident tows we run in Fort Lee are rear-enders at the lights on I-95 / GWB approach, T-bones at the intersections, cars into guardrails and poles along Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4, lot crashes at George Washington Bridge, rollovers once police clear the scene, and cars that must be pulled out of a rotation yard.
Rear-end collisions at the lights on I-95 / GWB approach
The upper and lower level approaches and the express lanes; the busiest breakdown corridor in Bergen County. 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.
Side-impact crashes near Fort Lee Historic Park
T-bone and left-turn crashes at the corners around George Washington Bridge and along Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 bend wheels under and lock steering. The car is winched onto the deck at an angle with a dolly under the bent corner. Tell the dispatcher which corner is hit so the driver rigs it right the first time.
Single-car crashes off Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4
Guardrail and pole strikes along Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 usually end with the car partly off the shoulder or down an embankment. The driver pulls it back to level ground with the winch before it goes on the flatbed. Rollovers are recovered after police release the scene. Stuck without damage? That is a winch out in Fort Lee, not an accident tow.
Low-speed collisions in the lot at George Washington Bridge
Low speed, real damage. If the car pulls or scrapes, a short tow to the shop beats a bent tie rod letting go on I-95 / GWB approach. Quoted flat, with photos for the claim.
Releasing a car from the yard after a Fort Lee accident
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 Fort Lee or near George Washington Bridge 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 I-95 / GWB approach or the bent tie rod lets go at speed. If anything is leaking, rubbing or pulling after a crash in Fort Lee, 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 Fort Lee, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedWhat accident towing costs in Fort Lee, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
The price of an accident tow from Fort Lee 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.
Hook fee plus mileage to the shop you choose
Two numbers: the hook fee, which includes the winch work a wreck needs, and the mileage from the Fort Lee 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
Count the line items on a rotation tow: hook, daily storage, release fee, and then a second tow from the yard to your shop. Our bill has two: hook and mileage, because the car goes straight from I-95 / GWB approach to the shop. Three days in a yard typically costs several hundred dollars more than calling us from the scene.
Getting the Fort Lee tow paid back by insurance
A tow to a repair shop is a covered expense under collision coverage nearly everywhere, and an at-fault driver's insurer typically reimburses it as part of the claim. We make the paperwork easy: the receipt names the spot in Fort Lee, the shop, the mileage and the service. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the drop-off.
The reason this page has no accident towing price table for Fort Lee
A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at George Washington Bridge and the car on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 are different jobs, and so are a compact and a full-size SUV, and so are a drop across town and one across Bergen County. The dispatcher settles all of that in half a minute and gives you one exact number; if you do not like it, you owe nothing.

High-rise garages with low clearance, tight street parking downtown, and the bridge approaches with no place to stop. Most garage calls are dollied to the entrance. That is why the dispatcher asks which of Fort Lee's 7 sections the car is in before the truck leaves Linden.
Accident towing in Lemoine Avenue
Lemoine Avenue gets the same response as the rest of Fort Lee: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Lemoine Avenue and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Palisade Avenue: what accident towing looks like here
In Palisade Avenue the approach depends on the street: a Palisade Avenue driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Palisade Avenue.

Hudson Terrace, Fort Lee: accident towing response

Accident towing in Coytesville

Linwood Park: what accident towing looks like here

Bridge Plaza, Fort Lee: accident towing response

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchAccident towing for every kind of Fort Lee driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on I-95 / GWB approach
Roughly 40,000 people live in Fort Lee, and accident towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at GWB Bus Station approach, families on the residential streets, the businesses around George Washington Bridge, and the stranger whose car quit on I-95 / GWB approach.
The George Washington Bridge's New Jersey end: high-rise towers, Main Street and Lemoine Avenue commerce, I-95 and Routes 1 & 9, 4 and 46 all converging. Bridge-approach breakdowns, high-rise garage calls and Lemoine Avenue crashes. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Commuters in Fort Lee and the lot at GWB Bus Station approach
A Fort Lee commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on I-95 / GWB approach in the morning rush. We tow it to the shop you name or the driveway you left from, and tell you the price first. Most commuter calls are quoted and dispatched in under three minutes.
Fort Lee 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. High-rise garages with low clearance, tight street parking downtown, and the bridge approaches with no place to stop. Most garage calls are dollied to the entrance. 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 George Washington Bridge
Around George Washington Bridge and Fort Lee Historic Park 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 Fort Lee 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.
Drivers passing through Fort Lee on I-95 / GWB approach
Half of the accident towing calls from Fort Lee are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on I-95 / GWB approach on the way somewhere else. You do not need to know the town. Say the road, the direction and the last exit or a sign you can see, and the dispatcher places you. If the car is going far, we quote it as one number; see long distance towing.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on I-95 / GWB approach: everyone in Fort Lee calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedHow the season changes accident towing in Fort Lee: what breaks on I-95 / GWB approach and Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 in January, April, July and October
Accident towing in Fort Lee is a year-round service, but the calls change with the season: batteries and ice in winter, potholes in spring, heat and tire failures in summer, storms and deer in the fall. Hudson Terrace and the Palisades hills ice first; the bridge approach ramps are the first to close in a storm.
Ask a dispatcher what Fort Lee sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at GWB Bus Station approach in January, bent wheels off Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 in April, overheated cars on I-95 / GWB approach in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from accident towing in each season in this corner of Bergen County.
Accident towing in Fort Lee in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
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 Fort Lee; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on I-95 / GWB approach has a car on it.
March and April in Fort Lee: potholes, bent wheels and inspection failures
Spring rain after a dry week makes the ramps greasy and rear-end crashes common at the lights. After a hard pothole hit in Fort Lee, 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.
Summer accident towing in Fort Lee: heat, traffic and holiday weekends
Summer accident calls come with heat, traffic and holiday volume; the crew works fast to get the car and the people off the shoulder. Summer in Fort Lee also fills the lots at George Washington Bridge, and a car that sat in the sun all afternoon on a weak battery does not start at closing time; the technician carries a jump pack and checks the coolant, and the flatbed is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold.
Fall accident towing in Fort Lee: 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. Deer cross Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 and the quieter roads of Fort Lee around Downtown Main Street at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowBergen County towingWhat Fort Lee drivers want to know about accident towing, price and where the car goes
The questions below cover arrival time in Fort Lee, 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 fast can an accident tow truck get to Fort Lee?
About 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, which is usually short enough that the officer waits. The dispatcher confirms the window once you say where on I-95 / GWB approach or which corner of Fort Lee you are.
The police in Fort Lee are already on scene. Can I still use my own tow?
In most cases, yes. Say to the officer that your tow is 44 minutes away and the car is going to your shop. The only time it fails is a car blocking traffic on I-95 / GWB approach; then ask whether our truck can take it straight from the scene.
Does my policy reimburse accident towing in Fort Lee?
Nearly always. A tow to a repair shop is part of collision coverage, and an at-fault driver's liability carrier usually pays it back. The itemized receipt lists the Fort Lee pickup, the destination and the mileage for the claim.
Can you tow the car to my house in Fort Lee instead of a shop?
Yes. The destination is yours to pick, and a driveway in Downtown Main Street is as good as a shop. Just keep it off the street; Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee or wherever you choose the same day.
My car will not move after a collision on I-95 / GWB approach. What then?
Yes. The deck comes down, the winch pulls the car up, and a dolly goes under any wheel that will not turn. Folded wheels, bent frames and shredded tires are ordinary work on I-95 / GWB approach.
Will you photograph the car for the insurance claim?
Every accident tow is photographed on scene and at the drop-off. Between the photos and the itemized receipt, which names the pickup in Fort Lee, the shop and the mileage, the adjuster has what the claim needs.
My car drives but pulls after a fender-bender at George Washington Bridge. Should I tow it?
Yes. Pulling, scraping or a new noise after a lot collision at George Washington Bridge is the car telling you something is bent. The short tow to the shop is a covered expense; the engine that overheats on Routes 1 & 9 / Route 46 / Route 4 is not.
Is there room in the truck for me after a crash in Fort Lee?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab from the Fort Lee scene. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car so we plan for it.
It is after hours and my shop in Fort Lee is closed. Where does the car go?
Most shops around George Washington Bridge have a drop box, and the car can go in their lot with the key in it. If not, we hold the car overnight and deliver it in the morning.
