Accident and collision towing in Newark, NJ: call your own tow, keep the car out of the rotation yard, 15 minutes from Linden
After a crash on Routes 1 & 9 or at a Newark 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 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
Why Newark drivers call us for accident towing before anyone else
In Newark, accident towing is the private tow you call yourself, about 15 minutes from Linden, that winches the wreck onto a flatbed, sweeps the lane on Routes 1 & 9, photographs the car for the adjuster and delivers it to the body shop you choose rather than a rotation yard.
There are two kinds of tow after a crash on Routes 1 & 9: the one you call and the one the police call. The one you call takes the car to your body shop, your driveway or your insurer's preferred shop, and the bill is a flat hook plus mileage. The one the police call takes it to a rotation yard where storage starts the same day. From Linden we reach Newark in about 15 minutes, which is usually fast enough that the officer waits.
The largest city in the state and the one with the most ways to break down: airport and port traffic on the east side, dense street parking and parking decks downtown and in the Ironbound, and residential wards on the hills to the west and south. Fleet vans, delivery trucks, rideshares and commuter cars all share the same streets with tractor-trailers headed for Port Newark. The driver reads that before he leaves Linden: which corner of Newark the call is from decides whether he rigs the winch on the way or expects a car that rolls.
Why the first call after a Newark crash should be ours
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 Newark scenes the officer will release the vehicle to a private tow that arrives in a reasonable time. From Linden that is 15 minutes, which almost always works. If the car is in a live lane on Routes 1 & 9, police may need it moved immediately; say so and we will still try to beat the clock.
Loading a wrecked car off I-78 without more damage
Crashed cars rarely roll straight. A bent knuckle, a wheel folded under the fender, a locked transmission or deployed airbags mean the car is winched onto the flatbed at an angle, sometimes with a dolly under one corner. We bring the winch, the snatch block and the boards, sweep the lane for glass and plastic, and leave the scene clean so the officer can reopen the road.
What we give you for the insurance claim in Newark
We photograph the vehicle before loading and at drop-off and hand you an itemized receipt with the Newark 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 Newark
If the car was taken to a rotation yard before you could call, we can pick it up on a signed release, pay the yard on your behalf and add it to your receipt, and deliver the car to your body shop the same day. Every day it sits is another day of storage. The Newark shops around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots and the dealers on Routes 1 & 9 see us on these runs constantly.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in NewarkThe five steps from a crash in Newark 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 Newark; 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
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 Newark.
Step two: the location, the damage and the destination
The dispatcher needs four things. Where: the road and direction plus the exit, or the two cross streets in Newark. 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 I-78, your driveway, or undecided. You hear the price, and the truck leaves Linden.
Step three: one sentence to the responding officer
Tell the officer, before he radios for the rotation company, that your own truck is 15 minutes out and where the car is going. In Newark that is usually the end of the conversation. When a lane must be cleared immediately, ask whether the car can go directly to our truck rather than through the yard; it often can.
Step four: photograph the scene before anything moves
Before the winch touches anything, photograph both vehicles from every corner, the plates, the pavement on Routes 1 & 9 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: recovery, sweep, delivery, receipt
The recovery itself takes minutes: the winch pulls the car onto the flatbed, the driver sweeps the debris, and the car rides to your body shop or driveway. Shops around Port Newark and the container terminals that are closed after hours get the car in the morning; we hold it overnight instead of leaving a wreck on a Newark curb. You leave with an itemized receipt, and the photos are available on request.
To get a quote for accident towing in Newark, 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 Newark: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
From Newark the whole accident towing call runs in three parts: a three-minute phone call with a quoted price, about 15 minutes while the truck drives in from Linden via NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, and fifteen to twenty minutes on scene to load, strap and photograph the car before it leaves for your destination.
Most people in Newark 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 Newark
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 13A, or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If you are on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9, say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
Minutes one to three: the price and the dispatch
Three facts (where the car is in Newark, what it is and where it is going) are enough for one exact number. For a tow that number is the hook fee plus mileage to your address, and it does not move when the driver arrives. Say yes and a truck is assigned while you are on the line, with an arrival window built from its real position rather than a promise. No card is charged until the work is done.
The drive from Linden to Newark: about 15 minutes
The route in is NJ Turnpike and Routes 1 & 9, coming off at NJ Turnpike Exit 13A. That is about 15 minutes with clear roads; in snow or a rush-hour backup the dispatcher gives you the real figure instead of a hopeful one. A few minutes before arrival the driver calls so you can spot the right truck and wave him to 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 Newark: 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
The last step is the receipt, sent by text or email with the hook fee, the miles and the two addresses itemized, which is the document an insurer or a roadside plan asks for when you claim it back. 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 Newark. The whole picture of towing in Newark is on the Newark towing page.
The clock starts when you call (908) 444-0129: three minutes to a quote, about 15 minutes to a truck in Newark.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyAccident towing on NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9, I-78 and I-280: the roads we run to reach Newark
Our route from Linden to Newark runs NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and I-78, coming off at NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14, NJ Turnpike Exit 14A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14B, NJ Turnpike Exit 14C and Garden State Parkway Exit 145, and accident towing on any of those roads is a direct dispatch; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Newark by its roads: NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and I-78 and the streets between them. Each note below is the one our drivers use. On an accident towing call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
NJ Turnpike at Newark: the Authority's garage first, then accident towing from us
Exits 13A, 14, 14A, 14B and 14C serve the airport, the port and downtown; the shoulders near the Exit 14 interchange 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.
Accident towing on Routes 1 & 9 in Newark
Runs from the Elizabeth line past the airport to the Pulaski Skyway approach; narrow shoulders, heavy truck traffic, constant tire and rear-end calls. A crash on Routes 1 & 9 usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
I-78: accident towing response in Newark
Cuts through the south side toward the Turnpike and Newark Bay; the express and local split near Hillside catches people out. A crash on I-78 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 I-280 in Newark
Runs west from the Turnpike through downtown toward the Oranges; steep on-ramps and stop-and-go at rush hour. After a collision on I-280, 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 Route 21 (McCarter Highway) in Newark
The north-south spine along the Passaic River past Penn Station and Broad Street; tight lanes and few places to pull over. Say which direction you were travelling on Route 21 (McCarter Highway) and the nearest cross street; the driver approaches from the right side and stops with the amber bar between you and traffic.
Broad Street / Market Street through Newark: accident towing on the road and off it
Downtown's main streets; double-parking, decks and one-way blocks change how the truck approaches. After a collision on Broad Street / Market Street, 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 Ferry Street in Newark
The Ironbound's commercial strip; tight street parking, lockouts and dead batteries at the restaurants and shops. A crash on Ferry Street usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
Newark by exit number
Our drivers reach Newark by NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14, NJ Turnpike Exit 14A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14B, NJ Turnpike Exit 14C and Garden State Parkway Exit 145. A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets the accident towing truck on the right side of the road the first time. For the Turnpike and Parkway express lanes with no exit, the Authority's garage handles the shoulder and we meet the car at the exit.
If you are on the side of Routes 1 & 9 or any road near Newark: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in NewarkBranch Brook Park, Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street and Newark Museum and the downtown arts district and Newark Penn Station: the Newark spots that call for accident towing most
Branch Brook Park, Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street, Newark Museum and the downtown arts district, Weequahic Park and Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots and Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue are where Newark drivers most often need accident towing, and each is about 15 minutes from a Linden truck or technician.
Branch Brook Park: accident towing response
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Branch Brook Park in Newark 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.
Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street: accident towing response
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street in Newark 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.
Newark Museum and the downtown arts district: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Newark Museum and the downtown arts district, photograph both cars before either moves, exchange information, and call us. The car goes to your body shop the same day, and the receipt lists the pickup at Newark Museum and the downtown arts district for your adjuster.
Weequahic Park: accident towing response
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Weequahic Park in Newark 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 Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots
After a fender-bender at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, 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 Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots for your adjuster.
Accident towing at Port Newark and the container terminals
Parking-lot collisions at Port Newark and the container terminals 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 Port Newark and the container terminals in about 15 minutes and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue: accident towing in the commuter lot
Collisions in the lots at Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue 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.
If you are at one of these Newark spots now, say which one and where in the lot; accident towing is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in NewarkCollision tows in Newark: rear-enders, intersections, guardrails, lots and impound yards
The accident tows we run in Newark are rear-enders at the lights on Routes 1 & 9, T-bones at the intersections, cars into guardrails and poles along I-78, lot crashes at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, rollovers once police clear the scene, and cars that must be pulled out of a rotation yard.
Rear-enders on Routes 1 & 9 in Newark
Stop-and-go on Routes 1 & 9 produces more rear-end tows in Newark 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 Newark
A side impact at a Newark intersection folds a wheel under the fender and jams the steering. That car is not rolling anywhere: the driver winches it up the lowered deck at an angle with a dolly under the damaged corner. Say which corner took the hit and he arrives rigged for it.
Off the pavement on I-78: guardrails, poles and embankments
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 Newark for cars that are stuck but not wrecked.
Parking-lot collisions at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots
Five miles an hour at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots still bends a tie rod or cracks a radiator support. A car that pulls or scrapes afterward should not go back onto Routes 1 & 9. The tow to the shop is a flat quote and the photos go with the claim.
Getting a car out of a rotation yard in Newark
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.
It still runs, but should it leave Newark on its own?
A car that limps away from a Newark crash is often a car that should not have. Coolant weeping, a tire rubbing the fender, steering that pulls: each one is a reason to put it on the flatbed rather than on I-78. Collision coverage pays the tow. Nobody pays for the engine that overheats on the way to the shop.
One call covers every situation above in Newark; describe it, and the right truck or tech is sent.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedWhat accident towing costs in Newark, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
An accident tow in Newark 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.
Hook fee plus mileage to the shop you choose
The hook fee pays for the truck, the recovery rigging and the time on Routes 1 & 9; the mileage pays for the distance to wherever the car is going. A body shop in Newark or a neighboring town is usually inside the base mileage, so the hook fee is most of the bill. You hear one figure on the call and it does not change on scene.
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 Newark. 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.
Insurance reimbursement for an accident tow in Newark
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 Newark pickup, the destination and the mileage, which is what adjusters ask for. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site.
Why the Newark price is quoted on the phone, not printed here
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 Newark.
Want the number for accident towing in Newark before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadAccident towing in every Newark neighborhood: Central Ward, University Heights, Dayton and South Ironbound and more
Accident towing is dispatched to every part of Newark, including Central Ward, University Heights, Dayton, South Ironbound, Lower Broadway, Ironbound, Downtown, North Ward / Forest Hill, Roseville, Vailsburg and Weequahic, at the same flat quoted price.
Street parking everywhere, parking decks downtown and around Penn Station, open surface lots at the airport and the port. Decks under seven feet keep flatbeds out, so we dolly to the entrance, and double-parked blocks in the Ironbound slow the approach. That is why the dispatcher asks which of Newark's 11 sections the car is in before the truck leaves Linden.
Accident towing in Central Ward
Calls from Central Ward are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Newark. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Central Ward and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Accident towing in University Heights
Calls from University Heights are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Newark. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in University Heights and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Accident towing in Dayton
In Dayton the approach depends on the street: a Dayton driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Dayton. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Dayton as everywhere in Newark.
South Ironbound: what accident towing looks like here
South Ironbound gets the same response as the rest of Newark: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in South Ironbound and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Lower Broadway, Newark: accident towing response
Calls from Lower Broadway are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Newark. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Lower Broadway and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Ironbound, Newark: accident towing response
Ironbound gets the same response as the rest of Newark: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Ironbound and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Anywhere in Newark, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchAccident towing for every kind of Newark driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Routes 1 & 9
Accident towing in Newark serves roughly 305,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Newark Penn Station, families in the residential streets, businesses near Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, and drivers who only know Newark as an exit on Routes 1 & 9.
The largest city in the state and the one with the most ways to break down: airport and port traffic on the east side, dense street parking and parking decks downtown and in the Ironbound, and residential wards on the hills to the west and south. Fleet vans, delivery trucks, rideshares and commuter cars all share the same streets with tractor-trailers headed for Port Newark. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Newark commuters, from the platform at Newark Penn Station to the driveway
Commuters make up most of the accident towing calls we get from Newark, and Newark Penn Station is where many of them start: the car sat all day and will not turn over at 6 p.m. The dispatcher quotes the tow to your shop or your driveway on the call, and says so if a jump or a tire would be the cheaper fix. What a commuter needs is an honest arrival window, and that is what the dispatcher gives.
Families in the residential streets of Newark
The city has a lot of two- and three-car households, and the spare car is the one that fails. A local tow to the shop or the dealer is priced as hook plus mileage, quoted on the call. If you are locked out with a child inside, call 911 first and then us; that call goes to the front of the line.
Newark businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots cannot sit for a day. A small business in Newark 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 Newark, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Strangers to Newark: breakdowns on Routes 1 & 9 on the way somewhere else
Newark sits on Routes 1 & 9, 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 Newark, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Newark, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedAccident towing in Newark through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Routes 1 & 9
Accident towing in Newark 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. The Ironbound and the streets near the Passaic River flood in heavy rain; the I-280 and Turnpike ramps ice before the local streets do.
The same trucks serve Newark in every month, but Routes 1 & 9 in January is a different road from Routes 1 & 9 in July. This is how the season changes the accident towing calls we get from Newark, and how we prepare for each.
Winter accident towing in Newark when Routes 1 & 9 ices over
Winter collisions cluster on the first icy morning of the year; the truck clears the lane first and sorts the paperwork second. In Newark 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 Newark: March and April on I-78
Spring rain after a dry week makes the ramps greasy and rear-end crashes common at the lights. I-78 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 Newark 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. Summer storms flood the low spots in Newark in minutes; a car that stalled in water is towed to the shop, never restarted on the spot.
Accident towing in Newark from October to December
Fall means deer season and early darkness; a deer strike is an accident tow with a body-shop destination and an insurance claim. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Newark; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Newark.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Newark. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.

Call nowEssex County towingQuestions Newark drivers ask about accident towing before they call
The questions below cover arrival time in Newark, the price of accident towing, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How long until a tow truck reaches a crash in Newark?
About 15 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 Newark. 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; Newark 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 Newark?
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 Newark?
Yes, anywhere you choose, including a driveway in Ironbound. Make sure the car can be off the street; Newark 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 Newark 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 Newark pickup, the destination and the mileage. Photos are available on request.
After a lot crash at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots 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 Newark?
Usually one person can ride in the cab to the shop. Say how many people are with the car at the Newark scene and the dispatcher plans for the rest.
Can you deliver to a body shop that is closed?
We can leave it in the shop's lot near Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots with the key in the drop box, or hold it overnight and deliver first thing in the morning rather than leaving it on a Newark street.
Question not here? The dispatcher answers it in one sentence and quotes the job in the next.
