Accident and collision towing in Metuchen, NJ: call your own tow, keep the car out of the rotation yard, 20 minutes from Linden
After a crash on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) or at a Metuchen 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 about 20 minutes, 24 hours a day.
Accident towing near you in Metuchen: what you get when you call our Linden dispatch
Accident towing in Metuchen 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 about 20 minutes.
Nobody plans a crash near Metuchen Main Street, 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 Metuchen from Linden in about 20 minutes, and the officer usually holds the scene that long.
A small, walkable commuter borough surrounded by Edison: a real Main Street, tight tree-lined residential streets, and a Northeast Corridor station whose lots and garage fill every weekday. Commuter sedans and family cars, many AWD, in driveways and on narrow streets. The driver reads that before he leaves Linden: which corner of Metuchen the call is from decides whether he rigs the winch on the way or expects a car that rolls.
Call your own accident tow in Metuchen before the rotation truck
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 Metuchen scenes the officer will release the vehicle to a private tow that arrives in a reasonable time. From Linden that is 20 minutes, which almost always works. If the car is in a live lane on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway), police may need it moved immediately; say so and we will still try to beat the clock.
Winching a car that will not roll after a Metuchen crash
The through-road from Iselin to Highland Park; the Main Street crossing is the town's choke point. 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 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) the moment the truck pulls away.
Documentation that gets a Metuchen accident tow reimbursed
We photograph the vehicle before loading and at drop-off and hand you an itemized receipt with the Metuchen 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.
Stopping the storage clock in Metuchen
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 Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage and along Main Street in Metuchen know our trucks from exactly these pickups.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in MetuchenThe five steps from a crash in Metuchen 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 Metuchen; 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
Injuries and blocked lanes are for 911 first. Once people are safe, the next call is (908) 444-0129 with the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit in Metuchen.
Step two: tell dispatch where in Metuchen and where the car should go
The dispatcher needs four things. Where: the road and direction plus the exit, or the two cross streets in Metuchen. What state the car is in: rolling or not, a wheel folded, anything leaking. What it is: year, make, model. Where it goes: your body shop, a dealer along Main Street, your driveway, or undecided. You hear the price, and the truck leaves Linden.
Step three: tell the officer your tow is on the way
Say it plainly: "I have a private tow coming, 20 minutes out, and the car is going to my shop." Most officers will release the car to you. If they need it moved immediately, ask whether our truck can take it directly rather than the rotation yard.
Step four: photograph the scene before anything moves
Before the winch touches anything, photograph both vehicles from every corner, the plates, the pavement on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) and any skid marks, and the other driver's license and insurance card. Then pull your registration, insurance card, phone charger and whatever is in the trunk; once the car is at the shop, getting into it is the shop's business.
Step five: the car goes on the deck and to your shop
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 Metuchen Main Street is closed, we can hold the car overnight and deliver in the morning rather than leaving it on a Metuchen street. You get an itemized receipt and the photos on request.
To get a quote for accident towing in Metuchen, the dispatcher needs only where the car is, the nearest cross street and what the car is.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for accident towing in Metuchen: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
An accident towing call from Metuchen takes about three minutes on the phone, about 20 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.
Nobody who calls us from Metuchen has done this before, or does it often. Here is the whole thing in order, so the hour is predictable.
Step one, from Metuchen: the call and the four questions
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 Route 1 at Amboy Avenue, or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If you are on the shoulder of Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway), say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line.
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 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway). You pay nothing until the job is finished.
About 20 minutes on the road: Linden to Metuchen
The truck comes in on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) and Main Street and uses Route 1 at Amboy Avenue. Off-peak it is about 20 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. Stay belted in the car if you are on a shoulder, hazards on, unless the car itself is in danger.
At the car in Metuchen: photos, straps and the load
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.
After: the receipt and what to do next
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. 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 Metuchen. For the full picture of towing in Metuchen, see all towing in Metuchen.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Metuchen in about 20 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyAccident towing on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway), Main Street, Amboy Avenue and Route 1: the roads we run to reach Metuchen
From Linden we reach Metuchen by Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway), Main Street and Amboy Avenue, using Route 1 at Amboy Avenue and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark), and we provide accident towing on every one of them.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Metuchen. 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.
Accident towing on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) in Metuchen
The through-road from Iselin to Highland Park; the Main Street crossing is the town's choke point. A wreck on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) is quoted the same flat way as any Metuchen tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Main Street: accident towing response in Metuchen
Downtown; angled parking, deliveries and dead batteries after a long lunch. A crash on Main Street usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
Amboy Avenue: accident towing response in Metuchen
Connector to Route 1 and Woodbridge; narrow with parked cars. A crash on Amboy 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 Route 1 in Metuchen
Skirts the borough's east edge; the nearest highway shoulder for a breakdown. 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.
Grove Avenue / Central Avenue: accident towing response in Metuchen
Residential connectors with tight turns and low-hanging trees for a tall truck. A wreck on Grove Avenue / Central Avenue is quoted the same flat way as any Metuchen tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
The exits our trucks take for Metuchen
Route 1 at Amboy Avenue and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark) are the exits our trucks use for Metuchen. On the highway itself, the exit number and your direction are the first things the dispatcher needs. 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.
On a shoulder near Metuchen? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in MetuchenMetuchen Main Street, Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage and Metuchen Country Club and Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots: the Metuchen spots that call for accident towing most
The common Metuchen pickup points for accident towing are Metuchen Main Street, Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage, Metuchen Country Club, Roosevelt Park (Edison border) and Dismal Swamp preserve and Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 20 minutes.
Metuchen Main Street: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Metuchen Main Street, 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 Metuchen Main Street for your adjuster.
Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage: accident towing response
Parking-lot collisions at Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage 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 Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage in about 20 minutes and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Metuchen Country Club: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Metuchen Country Club, 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 Metuchen Country Club for your adjuster.
Accident towing when the car stops at Roosevelt Park (Edison border)
Parking-lot collisions at Roosevelt Park (Edison 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 Roosevelt Park (Edison border) in about 20 minutes and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Accident towing when the car stops at Dismal Swamp preserve
Backing-out collisions and cut-through crashes at Dismal Swamp preserve 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.
Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots: accident towing in the commuter lot
The commuter lots at Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots 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.
If you are at one of these Metuchen spots now, say which one and where in the lot; accident towing is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in MetuchenThe crashes Metuchen sends us to, from Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) to the lot at Metuchen Main Street
In Metuchen we tow rear-end collisions on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway), intersection crashes, single-car accidents into guardrails and poles, parking-lot collisions, rollovers after police clearance, and cars already sitting in a rotation yard.
Rear-enders on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) in Metuchen
The through-road from Iselin to Highland Park; the Main Street crossing is the town's choke point. 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 Metuchen
Left-turn and T-bone crashes at the corners around Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage 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 Main Street
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 Metuchen for cars that are stuck but not wrecked.
Parking-lot collisions at Metuchen Main Street
Five miles an hour at Metuchen Main Street still bends a tie rod or cracks a radiator support. A car that pulls or scrapes afterward should not go back onto Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway). The tow to the shop is a flat quote and the photos go with the claim.
Releasing a car from the yard after a Metuchen accident
A car in the impound lot costs more every morning it is still there. With a signed release we handle the yard visit, pay the storage and release fees on your behalf, put them on one receipt, and bring the car to the shop of your choice the same day.
Drivable but not safe to drive
A bumper tap can push a radiator into a fan or bend a tie rod. If anything is leaking, rubbing or pulling after a Metuchen 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 Metuchen, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedHow much accident towing costs in Metuchen, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
An accident tow in Metuchen costs a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your body shop or driveway, quoted on the call, usually reimbursed by collision coverage or the at-fault driver's insurer, with no storage fees because the car never goes to our yard.
What an accident tow from Metuchen is made of
The hook fee covers dispatch, the winch recovery and the driver's time on scene in Metuchen. Mileage is the distance to your body shop or driveway. A tow to a shop in Metuchen or the next town usually stays inside the base mileage. One total, quoted before the truck moves.
What the storage yard charges that we never do
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 Metuchen. 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
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 Metuchen, 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 the Metuchen price is quoted on the phone, not printed here
A number on a page cannot know whether your car is on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) or in a driveway in Grove Avenue section, whether it is a Civic or a Range Rover, or where it is going. A quote on the phone takes thirty seconds and is exact. Call, ask, and hang up if you do not like it.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of accident towing in Metuchen. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadGrove Avenue section, Amboy Avenue corridor, Woodwild Park area and Downtown / Main Street and more: accident towing in every part of Metuchen
From Grove Avenue section to Station area, every part of Metuchen gets accident towing from the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is Grove Avenue section, Amboy Avenue corridor, Woodwild Park area, Downtown / Main Street and Station area.
Driveways and street parking on narrow residential blocks; the station garage has limited clearance, so cars are moved to the surface lot to load. Say the Metuchen neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Grove Avenue section, Metuchen: accident towing response
In Grove Avenue section the approach depends on the street: a Grove Avenue section driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Grove Avenue section. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Grove Avenue section as everywhere in Metuchen.
Accident towing in Amboy Avenue corridor
Amboy Avenue corridor gets the same response as the rest of Metuchen: 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 Amboy Avenue corridor and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Accident towing in Woodwild Park area
Calls from Woodwild Park area are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Metuchen. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Woodwild Park area and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Downtown / Main Street, Metuchen: accident towing response
Downtown / Main Street gets the same response as the rest of Metuchen: 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 Downtown / Main Street and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Accident towing in Station area

Anywhere in Metuchen, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchAccident towing for every kind of Metuchen driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway)
Roughly 15,000 people live in Metuchen, and accident towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Metuchen Main Street, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway).
A small, walkable commuter borough surrounded by Edison: a real Main Street, tight tree-lined residential streets, and a Northeast Corridor station whose lots and garage fill every weekday. Commuter sedans and family cars, many AWD, in driveways and on narrow streets. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
The commuter's car in Metuchen: Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots and the roads to it
A Metuchen commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) 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.
Metuchen households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
A borough of about 15,000 people means thousands of family driveways, and the family car fails on a schedule: before school pickup, on the way to practice, the morning of a trip. Driveways and street parking on narrow residential blocks; the station garage has limited clearance, so cars are moved to the surface lot to load. The truck arrives set up for the driveway, and the passengers ride in the cab. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Businesses and fleets near Metuchen Main Street and Metuchen station and Pearl Street garage
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Metuchen Main Street cannot sit for a day. A small business in Metuchen gets the same dispatcher and the same flat quote, plus an itemized receipt that works for the books. Larger trucks are a heavy-duty job in Metuchen, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Passing through Metuchen on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) when the car quit
Metuchen sits on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway), which means strangers break down here every day. Our dispatcher knows the road by exit and by landmark, and the truck is set up for a shoulder pickup: lights, cones, and a fast load. Where the car goes is your choice: a shop in Metuchen, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Metuchen dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedAccident towing in Metuchen 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 Metuchen: 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 27's low spots near the tracks pond in heavy rain.
The same trucks serve Metuchen in every month, but Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) in January is a different road from Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) in July. This is how the season changes the accident towing calls we get from Metuchen, and how we prepare for each.
Accident towing in Metuchen 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 lot at Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots empties late on winter evenings, and the cars left behind are ours to jump or tow. Say whether the car is behind a plow ridge, on a sloped driveway or on the shoulder of Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway); each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Spring accident towing in Metuchen after the thaw
Spring rain after a dry week makes the ramps greasy and rear-end crashes common at the lights. The spring calls cluster around Metuchen Main Street and along Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway), where the traffic is heaviest and the pavement breaks first; if the steering wheel sits off-center after a hit, the car rides the flatbed to an alignment shop rather than chewing up a new tire on the way.
Summer accident towing in Metuchen: 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 Metuchen also fills the lots at Metuchen Main Street, 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.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Metuchen
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 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Metuchen, not a tow, and is priced that way.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Metuchen. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingAccident towing in Metuchen: the questions drivers ask before calling
The questions below cover arrival time in Metuchen, 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 Metuchen?
About 20 minutes, which is usually short enough that the officer waits. The dispatcher confirms the window once you say where on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) or which corner of Metuchen you are.
The police in Metuchen are already on scene. Can I still use my own tow?
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 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway); then ask whether our truck can take it straight from the scene.
Will insurance pay for an accident tow in Metuchen?
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 Metuchen 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; Metuchen and most towns ticket damaged vehicles left at the curb.
The rotation company took my car. Can you pull it from the yard?
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.
A wheel is bent under after a crash on Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway). Can you still tow it?
Yes. It is winched onto the flatbed on the Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) shoulder with a dolly under a wheel that will not turn. Bent frames, folded wheels and torn tires are routine for a Metuchen crash.
Do you take photos for my claim?
Yes. The driver photographs the car before it goes on the deck and again at the shop, and the receipt lists the Metuchen pickup, destination and miles. Ask and the photos are yours.
My car drives but pulls after a fender-bender at Metuchen Main Street. Should I tow it?
Yes. Pulling, scraping or a new noise after a lot collision at Metuchen Main Street is the car telling you something is bent. The short tow to the shop is a covered expense; the engine that overheats on Main Street is not.
Is there room in the truck for me after a crash in Metuchen?
Usually one person can ride in the cab to the shop. Say how many people are with the car at the Metuchen scene and the dispatcher plans for the rest.
It is after hours and my shop in Metuchen is closed. Where does the car go?
We can leave it in the shop's lot near Metuchen Main Street with the key in the drop box, or hold it overnight and deliver first thing in the morning rather than leaving it on a Metuchen street.
Question not here? The dispatcher answers it in one sentence and quotes the job in the next.
