Accident towing in North Bergen, NJ: a private tow from Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) to your body shop, never a storage yard, 40 minutes from Linden
After a crash on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) or at a North Bergen 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 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, 24 hours a day.

Why North Bergen drivers call us for accident towing before anyone else
The NJ Towing Service handles accident towing in North Bergen by reaching the scene from Linden in about 40 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 North Bergen 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 North Bergen from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, load it, and deliver it to the shop you name.
A long township running from the Palisades down into the meadows: dense residential blocks along Kennedy Boulevard and Bergenline, the Tonnele Avenue truck corridor with its warehouses and truck stops, and the Route 3 and Turnpike interchanges in the low ground. Commuter cars uphill; box trucks and tractor-trailers on Tonnele. The driver reads that before he leaves Linden: which corner of North Bergen 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 North Bergen 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 North Bergen scenes the officer will release the vehicle to a private tow that arrives in a reasonable time. From Linden that is 40 minutes, which almost always works. If the car is in a live lane on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue), police may need it moved immediately; say so and we will still try to beat the clock.
Loading a wrecked car off Route 3 without more damage
A car that has just been hit on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) 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 Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) 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 Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) or wherever in North Bergen 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.
Pulling a car out of the impound yard after a North Bergen crash
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 James J. Braddock North Hudson Park and along Route 3 in North Bergen know our trucks from exactly these pickups.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in North BergenThe five steps from a crash in North Bergen to the car at your body shop
In North Bergen the sequence is: safety first, 911 for injuries, (908) 444-0129 with the road and cross street, a word to the officer that your own tow is coming, photos of everything before it moves, your belongings out, and the winch recovery to the shop you named.
Step one: people first, then the phone
Get everyone out of the travel lanes and behind something solid; on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) that is the guardrail, in Bergenline / Kennedy Boulevard uptown it is the curb. Anyone hurt, or a car sitting in a live lane, is a 911 call before anything else. Then dial (908) 444-0129.
Step two: 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 North Bergen. 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 Route 3, your driveway, or undecided. You hear the price, and the truck leaves Linden.
Step three: keep the rotation truck off the scene
Say it plainly: "I have a private tow coming, 40 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: document everything, then empty the car
Shoot everything: each car from all sides, both plates, the intersection or the shoulder, tire marks, the other driver's documents. Then clear the car out. Registration, insurance card, garage opener, the bags in the trunk. The driver is not going to go through your glovebox at a North Bergen scene, so do it while the truck is on its way.
Step five: the car goes on the deck and to your shop
Deck down, car winched up, straps on, lane on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) 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 Bergenline / Kennedy Boulevard uptown. 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 North Bergen.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of an accident towing call in North Bergen: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery
An accident towing call from North Bergen takes about three minutes on the phone, about 40 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.
The fastest way to take the stress out of accident towing in North Bergen is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.
Minute zero: the call from North Bergen
The call to (908) 444-0129 is answered by a dispatcher at any hour, not a recording. Four questions follow: exactly where the car is in North Bergen (the road and direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 16E, or the name of the lot), the make and model, what happened, and the destination. If the car is in the lot at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride, say which level or section; the driver goes straight to it instead of circling.
Minutes one to three: one number, then a truck is assigned
With the location, the vehicle and the destination known, the dispatcher quotes one number. For a tow it is the hook fee plus mileage to the address you gave; the number does not change on scene. Say yes and the nearest available truck is assigned while you are still on the line. You are given an arrival window built from where that truck actually is, not from a slogan. Nothing is charged until the job is done.
About 40 minutes on the road: Linden to North Bergen
The truck comes in on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) and Route 3 and uses NJ Turnpike Exit 16E. Off-peak it is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour; 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 North Bergen: photos, straps and the load
On arrival the driver checks your name and where the car is going, takes photos of it as it sits, and sets the truck up for the spot: a township driveway, a curb, a lot at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride 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
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 North Bergen.

Three minutes on the phone, about 40 minutes on the road. Start the clock: call (908) 444-0129.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyRoute 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue), Route 3, NJ Turnpike Eastern Spur and Kennedy Boulevard: how our trucks reach North Bergen for accident towing, road by road
From Linden we reach North Bergen by Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue), Route 3 and NJ Turnpike Eastern Spur, using NJ Turnpike Exit 16E and Route 3 at Tonnele Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard, 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.
These are the roads a North Bergen call for accident towing happens on, in the order a driver from Linden meets them. Give the dispatcher the road, your direction and the nearest exit or cross street.
Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) through North Bergen: accident towing on the road and off it
The truck corridor through the meadows; medium and heavy-duty breakdowns at the truck stops and the Route 3 interchange. Say which direction you were travelling on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele 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 Route 3 in North Bergen
The Lincoln Tunnel feeder along the southern edge; fast with narrow shoulders. A crash on Route 3 usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
A breakdown on NJ Turnpike Eastern Spur by North Bergen: who works the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
Exit 16E is North Bergen's; the ramps onto Route 3 back up daily. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Kennedy Boulevard: accident towing response in North Bergen
The hilltop spine; parked up and slow. A crash on Kennedy Boulevard usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
Bergenline Avenue: accident towing response in North Bergen
The northern end of the commercial strip; double-parking and lockouts. Say which direction you were travelling on Bergenline Avenue and the nearest cross street; the driver approaches from the right side and stops with the amber bar between you and traffic.
Paterson Plank Road / West Side Avenue: accident towing response in North Bergen
The roads down the cliff to the meadows; steep and icy. A crash on Paterson Plank Road / West Side Avenue usually leaves a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch, a dolly and boards get it up without more damage.
The exits our trucks take for North Bergen
NJ Turnpike Exit 16E and Route 3 at Tonnele Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard are the exits our trucks use for North Bergen. 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. 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 Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) or any road near North Bergen: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in North BergenAccident towing at the places North Bergen drivers stop: Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride, James J. Braddock North Hudson Park and Tonnele Avenue warehouse and truck-stop corridor and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride lot
In North Bergen the accident towing calls cluster at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride, James J. Braddock North Hudson Park, Tonnele Avenue warehouse and truck-stop corridor, Palisades Medical Center and Bergenline Avenue north end and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride and Nearby: Secaucus Junction; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride: accident towing response
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride in North Bergen 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.
James J. Braddock North Hudson Park: accident towing response
Parking-lot collisions at James J. Braddock North Hudson Park 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 James J. Braddock North Hudson Park in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Tonnele Avenue warehouse and truck-stop corridor: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Tonnele Avenue warehouse and truck-stop corridor, 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 Tonnele Avenue warehouse and truck-stop corridor for your adjuster.
Accident towing at Palisades Medical Center
Parking-lot collisions at Palisades Medical Center 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 Palisades Medical Center in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Accident towing at Bergenline Avenue north end
After a fender-bender at Bergenline Avenue north end, 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 Bergenline Avenue north end for your adjuster.
Accident towing at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride and Nearby: Secaucus Junction
At Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride and Nearby: Secaucus Junction 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.
Stuck at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride or another of these places? Give the name and the lot section, and the truck or the technician heads out.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in North BergenCollision tows in North Bergen: rear-enders, intersections, guardrails, lots and impound yards
The accident tows we run in North Bergen are rear-enders at the lights on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue), T-bones at the intersections, cars into guardrails and poles along Route 3, lot crashes at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride, rollovers once police clear the scene, and cars that must be pulled out of a rotation yard.
Rear-end collisions at the lights on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue)
The truck corridor through the meadows; medium and heavy-duty breakdowns at the truck stops and the Route 3 interchange. 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 North Bergen
A side impact at a North Bergen 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.
Guardrails, poles and ditches off Route 3
Guardrail and pole strikes along Route 3 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 North Bergen, not an accident tow.
Lot crashes at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride in North Bergen
Lot collisions at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride look minor and cost real money. The tell is a car that drifts, scrapes or clunks over the speed bumps on the way out. Tow it the short distance to the shop rather than finding out on Route 3; the price is flat and the receipt has the photos your adjuster wants.
Getting a car out of a rotation yard in North Bergen
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 North Bergen or near Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride the same day. Every day it sits is another day of storage.
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 North Bergen 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 North Bergen, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedHow much accident towing costs in North Bergen, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Accident towing in North Bergen is priced as one hook fee, which includes the winch recovery, plus mileage from the scene to the shop you choose; the dispatcher quotes the total before the truck leaves Linden, collision coverage or the other driver's insurer usually reimburses it, and there is never a storage charge.
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 North Bergen scene to your shop. Short runs stay inside the base mileage. The dispatcher gives you the total before you commit.
What the storage yard charges that we never do
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 Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) to the shop. Three days in a yard typically costs several hundred dollars more than calling us from the scene.
Collision coverage, liability carriers and our receipt
Collision coverage almost always includes the tow to a repair shop. If the other driver was at fault, their liability coverage typically reimburses it. Submit our itemized receipt with the claim number; it lists the North Bergen pickup, the destination and the mileage, which is what adjusters ask for. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site.
Why the North Bergen 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 North Bergen.

Tonnele Avenue corridor: what accident towing looks like here
In Tonnele Avenue corridor the approach depends on the street: a Tonnele 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 Tonnele Avenue corridor. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Tonnele Avenue corridor as everywhere in North Bergen.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchAccident towing for every kind of North Bergen driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue)
Accident towing in North Bergen serves roughly 63,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride, families in the residential streets, businesses near Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride, and drivers who only know North Bergen as an exit on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue).
A long township running from the Palisades down into the meadows: dense residential blocks along Kennedy Boulevard and Bergenline, the Tonnele Avenue truck corridor with its warehouses and truck stops, and the Route 3 and Turnpike interchanges in the low ground. Commuter cars uphill; box trucks and tractor-trailers on Tonnele. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Commuters in North Bergen and the lot at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride
Commuters make up most of the accident towing calls we get from North Bergen, and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride 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.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in North Bergen
A township of about 63,000 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. Alternate-side street parking on the hill, open yards and truck lots on Tonnele Avenue, and the light-rail park-and-ride. Hill cars often need a dolly to get out; the meadows are easy flatbed work. 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.
North Bergen businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride cannot sit for a day. A small business in North Bergen 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 North Bergen, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Strangers to North Bergen: breakdowns on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) on the way somewhere else
Plenty of the drivers who break down in North Bergen have never heard of it; they were on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 16E, and the truck finds you. The car can go to a shop here, to your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area, quoted as one number.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in North Bergen, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedAccident towing in North Bergen through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue)
The trucks run to North Bergen in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Tonnele Avenue and the meadows flood with the Hackensack; the cliff roads ice.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to North Bergen 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 North Bergen 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 Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Tonnelle Avenue with its park-and-ride 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 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue); each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
March and April in North Bergen: 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 North Bergen, 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.
Accident towing in North Bergen 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 in North Bergen also fills the lots at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride, 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 North Bergen: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall means deer season and early darkness; a deer strike is an accident tow with a body-shop destination and an insurance claim. Wet leaves on the ramps off Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue) are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in North Bergen, not a tow, and is priced that way.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in North Bergen. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

The questions below cover arrival time in North Bergen, 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.
What is the response time for accident towing in North Bergen?
About 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour 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.
The police in North Bergen are already on scene. Can I still use my own tow?
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; North Bergen 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.
Is the tow after a crash in North Bergen covered by insurance?
Yes, as a rule: your collision coverage pays the tow to the shop, or the other driver's insurer does if the crash was their fault. Submit our receipt with the claim number; it is written for adjusters.
Can you tow the car to my house in North Bergen instead of a shop?
Anywhere you say, including your driveway. Alternate-side street parking on the hill, open yards and truck lots on Tonnele Avenue, and the light-rail park-and-ride. Hill cars often need a dolly to get out; the meadows are easy flatbed work. A wrecked car at the curb tends to draw a ticket, so have somewhere off the street for it.
The rotation company took my car. Can you pull it from the yard?
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 North Bergen or wherever you choose the same day.
My car will not move after a collision on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue). 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 Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue).
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 North Bergen pickup, destination and miles. Ask and the photos are yours.
The car runs after a bump at Tonnelle Avenue light rail park-and-ride but something feels wrong. Do I need a tow?
Yes. A bent tie rod or a radiator touching the fan gets worse fast on Route 1 & 9 (Tonnele Avenue). The tow is usually covered; the damage from driving it is not.
Is there room in the truck for me after a crash in North Bergen?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab from the North Bergen scene. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car so we plan for it.
Can you deliver to a body shop that is closed?
Two options: the car goes into the shop's lot tonight with the key in the drop box, or it sleeps at our yard and is delivered when the shop opens. Either beats a wreck sitting on a North Bergen street overnight.
