Accident and collision towing in Linden, NJ: your car goes to the shop you choose, 5 minutes from Linden

After a crash on Routes 1 & 9 or at a Linden intersection, the car goes where you say: your body shop, your driveway, your insurer's shop. Not a storage yard charging by the day. A truck from Linden in a few minutes, 24 hours a day.

Accident towing Linden

Accident towing near you in Linden: what you get when you call our Linden dispatch

Accident towing in Linden means calling your own tow before the police rotation truck so the car goes to your body shop instead of a storage yard; The NJ Towing Service recovers it, clears the lane, photographs it for your insurer and arrives from Linden in a few minutes.

When police respond to a crash in Linden 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 Linden from Linden in a few minutes, load it, and deliver it to the shop you name.

A working city split by the Northeast Corridor tracks: dense residential blocks and a walkable Wood Avenue downtown on the west side, the Bayway refinery, Tremley Point and the Route 1 & 9 industrial and retail strip on the east. Commuter cars, contractor pickups and fleet vans share the streets with heavy truck traffic heading for the Turnpike and the port. 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 Linden

The order matters at a Linden 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 Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers or wherever you choose. Officers in Linden release cars to private tows all the time as long as the truck shows up promptly, and 5 minutes from Linden counts as promptly. The exception is a car sitting in a live lane on Routes 1 & 9 or Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue); 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 Linden crash

Runs the length of the east side past the shopping centers and the refinery; narrow shoulders, constant rear-end collisions at the lights. 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 Routes 1 & 9 the moment the truck pulls away.

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 Routes 1 & 9 or wherever in Linden 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 Bayway refinery and the Tremley Point industrial area and along Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) in Linden know our trucks from exactly these pickups.

How it works

What to do at an accident scene in Linden, step by step, and how the tow goes

Get safe, call 911 if anyone is hurt, call us and give the location on the Linden 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: get safe and call 911 if anyone is hurt or a lane is blocked

On Routes 1 & 9 or Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) get behind the guardrail, away from the car, not in front of or behind it. At a Linden 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 Routes 1 & 9, your driveway in Linden, or "not sure yet". The dispatcher quotes the tow and the truck rolls from Linden.

Step three: tell the officer your tow is on the way

The words are simple: a private tow is 5 minutes away and the car is going to my body shop. Linden officers hear it often and normally wait. If the car has to move right now because it is blocking Routes 1 & 9, 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 Routes 1 & 9 or at the corner in Downtown / Wood Avenue, 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 Linden scene.

Step five: recovery, sweep, delivery, receipt

Deck down, car winched up, straps on, lane on Routes 1 & 9 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 / Wood Avenue. The itemized receipt is yours at the drop, and the photos whenever you ask.

To get a quote for accident towing in Linden, the dispatcher needs only where the car is, the nearest cross street and what the car is.

Accident towing timeline

The first hour of an accident towing call in Linden: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery

Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 5 minutes for the truck to reach Linden from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes of loading before the car is strapped down and headed to the address you gave.

The fastest way to take the stress out of accident towing in Linden is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.

Minute zero: the call from Linden

A dispatcher answers (908) 444-0129 at any hour; there is no menu and no callback queue. The questions are the same every time: where exactly is the car (the road, the direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 13, or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If the car is in the lot at Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots, 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 Routes 1 & 9. You pay nothing until the job is finished.

While the truck is on its way to Linden

From Linden the truck runs NJ Turnpike and Routes 1 & 9 and takes NJ Turnpike Exit 13 into Linden, a few 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 Linden: 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 city driveway, a curb, a lot at Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers 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

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. Everything else we do in Linden is on the Linden towing page.

Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Linden in about 5 minutes.

Linden roads

Accident towing on NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9, Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) and Wood Avenue: the roads we run to reach Linden

From Linden we reach Linden by NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue), using NJ Turnpike Exit 13 and Garden State Parkway Exit 136 (via Clark), and we provide accident towing on every one 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.

Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Linden. 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.

NJ Turnpike at Linden: the Authority's garage first, then accident towing from us

Exit 13 is Linden's exit; the ramps and the stretch to Exit 13A are the busiest breakdown spots in the city. 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.

Routes 1 & 9 through Linden: accident towing on the road and off it

Runs the length of the east side past the shopping centers and the refinery; narrow shoulders, constant rear-end collisions at the lights. Say which direction you were travelling on Routes 1 & 9 and the nearest cross street; the driver approaches from the right side and stops with the amber bar between you and traffic.

Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) through Linden: accident towing on the road and off it

The west-side commercial spine to Rahway and Roselle; jughandles and tight curbside parking. On Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) we sweep the lane for glass and plastic before we leave so the road reopens clean.

Accident towing on Wood Avenue in Linden

Downtown and the train station; angled parking, lockouts and dead batteries in the station lot. Say which direction you were travelling on Wood Avenue 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 Stiles Street / Edgar Road in Linden

Cross-town connectors between the Turnpike side and the residential west; potholes every spring. On Stiles Street / Edgar Road we sweep the lane for glass and plastic before we leave so the road reopens clean.

Linden by exit number

For Linden the ramps to know are NJ Turnpike Exit 13 and Garden State Parkway Exit 136 (via Clark). On the highway itself, the exit number and your direction are the first things the dispatcher needs. Where the Turnpike or Parkway express lanes offer no exit, the Authority's garage clears the shoulder and our truck picks the car up at the ramp.

If you are on the side of Routes 1 & 9 or any road near Linden: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.

Linden pickup spots

Wood Avenue downtown, Warinanco Park (Roselle border) and Hawk Rise Sanctuary and the Arthur Kill waterfront and Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots: the Linden spots that call for accident towing most

The common Linden pickup points for accident towing are Wood Avenue downtown, Warinanco Park (Roselle border), Hawk Rise Sanctuary and the Arthur Kill waterfront, Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers and Bayway refinery and the Tremley Point industrial area and Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots; a truck or technician reaches any of them in a few minutes.

Accident towing at Wood Avenue downtown

Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Wood Avenue downtown 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 a few minutes.

Accident towing when the car stops at Warinanco Park (Roselle border)

Parking-lot collisions at Warinanco Park (Roselle border) 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 Warinanco Park (Roselle border) in a few minutes and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.

Accident towing when the car stops at Hawk Rise Sanctuary and the Arthur Kill waterfront

After a fender-bender at Hawk Rise Sanctuary and the Arthur Kill waterfront, 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 Hawk Rise Sanctuary and the Arthur Kill waterfront for your adjuster.

Accident towing when the car stops at Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers

Parking-lot collisions at Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers 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 Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers in a few minutes and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.

Accident towing at Bayway refinery and the Tremley Point industrial area

Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Bayway refinery and the Tremley Point industrial area 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 a few minutes.

Accident towing when the car stops at Linden Airport

After a fender-bender at Linden Airport, 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 Linden Airport for your adjuster.

Accident towing at Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots

Collisions in the lots at Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots 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.

At one of these spots right now? Say the name and the lot, and the truck or the tech is on the way.

Accident towing situations

Collision tows in Linden: rear-enders, intersections, guardrails, lots and impound yards

The accident tows we run in Linden are rear-enders at the lights on Routes 1 & 9, T-bones at the intersections, cars into guardrails and poles along Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue), lot crashes at Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers, rollovers once police clear the scene, and cars that must be pulled out of a rotation yard.

Rear-enders on Routes 1 & 9 in Linden

Runs the length of the east side past the shopping centers and the refinery; narrow shoulders, constant rear-end collisions at the lights. 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.

T-bones and left-turn crashes at Linden intersections

T-bone and left-turn crashes at the corners around Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers and along Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) 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.

Guardrails, poles and ditches off Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue)

Guardrail and pole strikes along Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) 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 Linden, not an accident tow.

Parking-lot collisions at Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers

Low speed, real damage. If the car pulls or scrapes, a short tow to the shop beats a bent tie rod letting go on Routes 1 & 9. Quoted flat, with photos for the claim.

Releasing a car from the yard after a Linden accident

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 Linden the same afternoon.

Drivable but not safe to drive

The car starts, so it seems fine. Then the fan chews through the radiator on Routes 1 & 9 or the bent tie rod lets go at speed. If anything is leaking, rubbing or pulling after a crash in Linden, 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 Linden, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.

Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explained
Accident towing cost

What accident towing costs in Linden, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden

The price of an accident tow from Linden 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 Linden is made of

Two numbers: the hook fee, which includes the winch work a wreck needs, and the mileage from the Linden scene to your shop. Short runs stay inside the base mileage. The dispatcher gives you the total before you commit.

The rotation-yard bill versus ours

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 Routes 1 & 9 to the shop. Three days in a yard typically costs several hundred dollars more than calling us from the scene.

Getting the Linden 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 Linden, the shop, the mileage and the service. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the drop-off.

Why there is no price list for Linden on the website

A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers and the car on the shoulder of Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) are different jobs, and so are a compact and a full-size SUV, and so are a drop across town and one across Union 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.

Linden neighborhoods

Bayway, St. Georges Avenue corridor, Linden Heights and Stiles Street area and more: accident towing in every part of Linden

Accident towing is dispatched to every part of Linden, including Bayway, St. Georges Avenue corridor, Linden Heights, Stiles Street area, Downtown / Wood Avenue, Sunnyside and Tremley, at the same flat quoted price.

Mostly driveways and street parking on the west side; big open lots on the Route 1 & 9 strip and at the station. No parking decks, so a flatbed reaches almost anywhere. Say the Linden neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.

Bayway: what accident towing looks like here

Calls from Bayway are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Linden. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Bayway and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.

St. Georges Avenue corridor, Linden: accident towing response

In St. Georges Avenue corridor the approach depends on the street: a St. Georges Avenue corridor driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to St. Georges Avenue corridor. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in St. Georges Avenue corridor as everywhere in Linden.

Linden Heights, Linden: accident towing response

In Linden Heights the approach depends on the street: a Linden Heights driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Linden Heights. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Linden Heights as everywhere in Linden.

Accident towing in Stiles Street area

Stiles Street area gets the same response as the rest of Linden: 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 Stiles Street area and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.

Downtown / Wood Avenue, Linden: accident towing response

Linden drivers

Accident towing for every kind of Linden driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Routes 1 & 9

Accident towing in Linden serves roughly 43,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots, families in the residential streets, businesses near Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers, and drivers who only know Linden as an exit on Routes 1 & 9.

A working city split by the Northeast Corridor tracks: dense residential blocks and a walkable Wood Avenue downtown on the west side, the Bayway refinery, Tremley Point and the Route 1 & 9 industrial and retail strip on the east. Commuter cars, contractor pickups and fleet vans share the streets with heavy truck traffic heading for the Turnpike and the port. That mix shapes the accident towing calls we get from Linden.

Linden commuters, from the platform at Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots to the driveway

A Linden commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Routes 1 & 9 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.

Families in the residential streets of Linden

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. Mostly driveways and street parking on the west side; big open lots on the Route 1 & 9 strip and at the station. No parking decks, so a flatbed reaches almost anywhere. 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.

Linden businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving

Around Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers and Bayway refinery and the Tremley Point industrial area 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 Linden 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 Linden: breakdowns on Routes 1 & 9 on the way somewhere else

Half of the accident towing calls from Linden are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Routes 1 & 9 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.

It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Linden dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.

Linden seasons

Accident towing in Linden 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 Linden: 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. Low-lying blocks near Tremley Point and the Arthur Kill flood in heavy rain; the Turnpike ramps ice first.

Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Linden 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.

Accident towing in Linden 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 Linden; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Routes 1 & 9 has a car on it.

March and April in Linden: 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 Linden, 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 Linden: 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. Holiday weekends load Routes 1 & 9 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 Linden: 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 Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue) and the quieter roads of Linden around Downtown / Wood Avenue at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Linden 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.

January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Linden. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Accident towing FAQ

Questions Linden drivers ask about accident towing before they call

Arrival time to Linden, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.

How long until a tow truck reaches a crash in Linden?

A few minutes from our Linden yard on a normal day. Say the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit; the dispatcher gives you the real window.

Police are here already in Linden. Is it too late to call you?

Yes, as long as the rotation truck has not already hooked it. Tell the officer your own tow is on the way and where the car is headed; Linden officers release cars to private tows routinely. If the car has to clear a lane right now, ask if it can go to our truck instead of the yard.

Will insurance pay for an accident tow in Linden?

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 the wrecked car go to my driveway in Linden?

Yes, anywhere you choose, including a driveway in Downtown / Wood Avenue. Make sure the car can be off the street; Linden and most towns ticket wrecked vehicles parked at the curb.

My car is already at a rotation yard. Can you get it out?

Yes. With a signed release we go to the yard, pay the storage and release fees for you, itemize them, and deliver the car to your body shop in Linden or wherever you choose the same day.

The car will not roll after the crash on Routes 1 & 9. Can you load 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, before loading and at drop-off. The itemized receipt lists the Linden pickup, the destination and the mileage. Photos are available on request.

After a lot crash at Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers the car pulls to one side. Tow or drive?

Yes. A bent tie rod or a radiator touching the fan gets worse fast on Routes 1 & 9. The tow is usually covered; the damage from driving it is not.

Can I ride in the tow truck from the scene in Linden?

Usually one person can ride in the cab to the shop. Say how many people are with the car at the Linden scene and the dispatcher plans for the rest.

It is after hours and my shop in Linden is closed. Where does the car go?

Most shops around Linden Plaza and the Route 1 & 9 shopping centers 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.

If your question about accident towing in Linden is missing, call it in. A dispatcher answers it directly and prices the job in the same breath.
