Accident and collision towing in Weehawken, NJ: your car goes to the shop you choose, 38 minutes from Linden
After a crash on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or at a Weehawken 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 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, 24 hours a day.
Accident towing in Weehawken, NJ: why drivers call The NJ Towing Service first, 38 minutes from Linden
The NJ Towing Service handles accident towing in Weehawken by reaching the scene from Linden in about 38 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.
Nobody plans a crash near Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza, 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 Weehawken from Linden in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and the officer usually holds the scene that long.
A small township on the Palisades and the Hudson waterfront that the Lincoln Tunnel helix corkscrews through: brownstone blocks on the cliff, the Lincoln Harbor and Port Imperial towers below, and the ferry terminal. Commuter cars, tunnel-bound traffic and building garages on the waterfront. Crashes here rarely leave a car that rolls, so the truck that comes is a flatbed with the winch already set up.
Why the first call after a Weehawken crash should be ours
The order matters at a Weehawken 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 Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza or wherever you choose. Officers in Weehawken release cars to private tows all the time as long as the truck shows up promptly, and 38 minutes from Linden counts as promptly. The exception is a car sitting in a live lane on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or Boulevard East; then the officer may not be able to wait, so tell the dispatcher that and we push the truck harder.
Loading a wrecked car off Boulevard East without more damage
A car that has just been hit on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or wherever in Weehawken 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 Port Imperial ferry terminal and along Boulevard East in Weehawken know our trucks from exactly these pickups.
If you need accident towing in Weehawken this minute, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129All towing in WeehawkenWhat to do at an accident scene in Weehawken, step by step, and how the tow goes
Move away from traffic, dial 911 for injuries or a blocked lane, then call us with the exact spot in Weehawken; 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 Weehawken.
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 Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, your driveway in Weehawken, or "not sure yet". The dispatcher quotes the tow and the truck rolls from Linden.
Step three: one sentence to the responding officer
Tell the officer, before he radios for the rotation company, that your own truck is 38 minutes out and where the car is going. In Weehawken 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: document everything, then empty the car
Both cars, all four corners, plates, the road and any skid marks on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or at the corner in The Heights / Boulevard East, 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 Weehawken scene.
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 Imperial ferry terminal that are closed after hours get the car in the morning; we hold it overnight instead of leaving a wreck on a Weehawken curb. You leave with an itemized receipt, and the photos are available on request.
The road, the nearest cross street and the make and model: with those three things the dispatcher quotes accident towing in Weehawken on the spot.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for accident towing in Weehawken: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
An accident towing call from Weehawken takes about three minutes on the phone, about 38 minutes for the truck to arrive from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes on scene before the car is loaded and moving to the address you gave.
Most people in Weehawken 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 Weehawken
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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel, or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If you are on the shoulder of Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line.
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 Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix. You pay nothing until the job is finished.
While the truck is on its way to Weehawken
From Linden the truck runs Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix and Boulevard East and takes Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel into Weehawken, about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour off-peak; when the weather or the traffic is bad you are told the honest window on the call. Expect a call from the driver when he is minutes away so you know which truck to look for. Stay belted in the car if you are on a shoulder, hazards on, unless the car itself is in danger.
On scene in Weehawken: fifteen to twenty minutes to load
The driver confirms your name and the destination first, then photographs the car before anything is touched. He positions the truck for the street rather than for the car: a shoulder on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, a driveway, a lot or a deck each call for a different setup. Loading, strapping and a second set of photos take fifteen to twenty minutes. If the shop is closed when the car arrives, the key is left as the shop instructed. Most of the time you can ride in the cab; say so when you 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. Keep the receipt with the car's paperwork; roadside plans and some insurers reimburse it. Everything else we do in Weehawken is on the Weehawken towing page.
Three minutes on the phone, about 38 minutes on the road. Start the clock: call (908) 444-0129.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Weehawken: accident towing response on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, Boulevard East, Park Avenue and Port Imperial Boulevard
From Linden we reach Weehawken by Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, Boulevard East and Park Avenue, using Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel and NJ Turnpike Exit 16E (via Secaucus), and we provide accident towing on every one of them.
These are the roads a Weehawken 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix: accident towing response in Weehawken
The helix and the tunnel plaza are in Weehawken; a breakdown here is a police-coordinated recovery with no shoulder. A wreck on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix is quoted the same flat way as any Weehawken tow: hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, never to a storage yard.
Boulevard East: accident towing response in Weehawken
The cliff-top road with the skyline views; narrow, parked up, and where most in-town calls start. Say which direction you were travelling on Boulevard East 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 Park Avenue in Weehawken
The residential spine to Union City and West New York. A crash on Park 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 Port Imperial Boulevard in Weehawken
The waterfront road along Lincoln Harbor and the ferry; tower garages on both sides. On Port Imperial Boulevard we sweep the lane for glass and plastic before we leave so the road reopens clean.
Pershing Road / Hackensack Plank Road: accident towing response in Weehawken
The steep roads down the cliff to the waterfront; ice first. After a collision on Pershing Road / Hackensack Plank Road, 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.
The exits our trucks take for Weehawken
Our drivers reach Weehawken by Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel and NJ Turnpike Exit 16E (via Secaucus). 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.
Stopped on a shoulder near Weehawken? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in WeehawkenLincoln Harbor, Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook and Weehawken waterfront walkway and Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor: the Weehawken spots that call for accident towing most
The common Weehawken pickup points for accident towing are Lincoln Harbor, Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook, Weehawken waterfront walkway, Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza and Port Imperial ferry terminal and Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor and NJ Transit buses on Boulevard East; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Lincoln Harbor: accident towing response
After a fender-bender at Lincoln Harbor, 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 Lincoln Harbor for your adjuster.
Accident towing when the car stops at Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook
After a fender-bender at Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook, 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 Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook for your adjuster.
Accident towing at Weehawken waterfront walkway
After a fender-bender at Weehawken waterfront walkway, 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 Weehawken waterfront walkway for your adjuster.
Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza: accident towing response
Parking-lot collisions at Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza 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 Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour and take it to your shop with photos for the claim.
Port Imperial ferry terminal: accident towing response
A crash at the entrance or in the lot at Port Imperial ferry terminal in Weehawken 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.
The station lots at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor and NJ Transit buses on Boulevard East: accident towing for commuters
The commuter lots at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor and NJ Transit buses on Boulevard East 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 Weehawken spots now, say which one and where in the lot; accident towing is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in WeehawkenAccident towing situations we handle in Weehawken
The accident tows we run in Weehawken are rear-enders at the lights on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, T-bones at the intersections, cars into guardrails and poles along Boulevard East, lot crashes at Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza, 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix
The most common Weehawken accident tow. A pushed-in radiator, a bumper hanging, a trunk that will not close. If anything is leaking or the fan is touching the radiator, do not drive it. Photos, then the flatbed to your shop.
T-bones and left-turn crashes at Weehawken intersections
T-bone and left-turn crashes at the corners around Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza and along Boulevard East 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 Boulevard East
The cliff-top road with the skyline views; narrow, parked up, and where most in-town calls start. A car that left the road there is recovered in two moves: winched back onto the pavement, then winched onto the deck. A car on its side or roof waits for police to clear the scene. A car that is merely stuck, not wrecked, is a winch out in Weehawken and a smaller bill.
Low-speed collisions in the lot at Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza
Low speed, real damage. If the car pulls or scrapes, a short tow to the shop beats a bent tie rod letting go on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix. Quoted flat, with photos for the claim.
Cars already impounded after a crash
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 Weehawken or near Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza the same day. Every day it sits is another day of storage.
Drivable but not safe to drive
The car starts, so it seems fine. Then the fan chews through the radiator on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or the bent tie rod lets go at speed. If anything is leaking, rubbing or pulling after a crash in Weehawken, the tow is the cheap option: insurance normally pays for it, and it never pays for the damage from driving a wounded car.
Whatever stopped the car in Weehawken, one number sends the right truck or technician.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedWhat accident towing costs in Weehawken, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
Accident towing in Weehawken 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
The hook fee covers dispatch, the winch recovery and the driver's time on scene in Weehawken. Mileage is the distance to your body shop or driveway. A tow to a shop in Weehawken or the next town usually stays inside the base mileage. One total, quoted before the truck moves.
Why a private accident tow costs less than a rotation tow
A rotation tow bills the hook, then storage by the day, then a release fee, and you pay a second tow to get the car from the yard to the shop. A private tow is one hook, one mileage, straight from Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza to the shop. The difference after three days in a yard is usually several hundred dollars for a Weehawken driver.
Insurance reimbursement for an accident tow in Weehawken
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 Weehawken, 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 Weehawken on the website
A number on a page cannot know whether your car is on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or in a driveway in Shades, 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 Weehawken. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadEvery Weehawken neighborhood gets the same accident towing: Shades, Kings Bluff, The Heights / Boulevard East and Lincoln Harbor and more
Accident towing is dispatched to every part of Weehawken, including Shades, Kings Bluff, The Heights / Boulevard East, Lincoln Harbor and Port Imperial, at the same flat quoted price.
Street parking on the cliff-top blocks with resident permits, and tower garages on the waterfront with clearance too low for a flatbed; waterfront cars come out to Port Imperial Boulevard on a dolly. Say the Weehawken neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Shades: what accident towing looks like here
Shades gets the same response as the rest of Weehawken: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Shades and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Accident towing in Kings Bluff
Kings Bluff gets the same response as the rest of Weehawken: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Kings Bluff and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Accident towing in The Heights / Boulevard East
The Heights / Boulevard East gets the same response as the rest of Weehawken: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in The Heights / Boulevard East and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Lincoln Harbor, Weehawken: accident towing response
In Lincoln Harbor the approach depends on the street: a Lincoln Harbor driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Lincoln Harbor. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Lincoln Harbor as everywhere in Weehawken.
Port Imperial, Weehawken: accident towing response
Port Imperial gets the same response as the rest of Weehawken: a dispatcher who quotes accident towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Port Imperial and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
No neighborhood in Weehawken is priced differently or answered slower for accident towing; the number and the dispatch are the same everywhere.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchAccident towing for every kind of Weehawken driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix
Accident towing in Weehawken serves roughly 17,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor, families in the residential streets, businesses near Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza, and drivers who only know Weehawken as an exit on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix.
A small township on the Palisades and the Hudson waterfront that the Lincoln Tunnel helix corkscrews through: brownstone blocks on the cliff, the Lincoln Harbor and Port Imperial towers below, and the ferry terminal. Commuter cars, tunnel-bound traffic and building garages on the waterfront. Those are the drivers of Weehawken, and each group below calls for accident towing for its own reasons.
The commuter's car in Weehawken: Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor and the roads to it
A Weehawken commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix 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 Weehawken
The township 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.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza
Around Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza and Port Imperial ferry terminal 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 Weehawken 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.
Passing through Weehawken on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix when the car quit
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Weehawken have never heard of it; they were on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel, 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.
It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Weehawken dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Accident towing explainedAccident towing in Weehawken by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Accident towing in Weehawken 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 cliff roads ice first; the waterfront floods in nor'easters.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Weehawken 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.
Winter accident towing in Weehawken when Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix ices over
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 Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Pothole season in Weehawken: March and April on Boulevard East
Spring rain after a dry week makes the ramps greasy and rear-end crashes common at the lights. After a hard pothole hit in Weehawken, 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 Weehawken: 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 Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Accident towing in Weehawken 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 Weehawken; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Weehawken.
The seasons change the calls from Weehawken, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowHudson County towingWhat Weehawken drivers want to know about accident towing, price and where the car goes
How long accident towing takes to reach Weehawken, what it costs, which truck comes, where the car can go, garages, insurance and what to do while you wait; anything not covered, a dispatcher answers live.
How fast can an accident tow truck get to Weehawken?
About 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, which is usually short enough that the officer waits. The dispatcher confirms the window once you say where on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or which corner of Weehawken you are.
Can I choose my own tow if an officer is already at the crash in Weehawken?
Usually yes. Tell the officer a private tow is minutes out and where the car is going. If the car is blocking a live lane on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix they may need it moved immediately; ask whether our truck can take it directly.
Will insurance pay for an accident tow in Weehawken?
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 Weehawken instead of a shop?
Anywhere you say, including your driveway. Street parking on the cliff-top blocks with resident permits, and tower garages on the waterfront with clearance too low for a flatbed; waterfront cars come out to Port Imperial Boulevard on a dolly. 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 Weehawken or wherever you choose the same day.
My car will not move after a collision on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix. 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix.
Do you take photos for my claim?
Every accident tow is photographed on scene and at the drop-off. Between the photos and the itemized receipt, which names the pickup in Weehawken, the shop and the mileage, the adjuster has what the claim needs.
My car drives but pulls after a fender-bender at Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza. Should I tow it?
Tow it. A pull means a bent tie rod or a knocked-out alignment, and a rub means the fan is on the radiator; both fail at speed on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix. Insurance pays for the tow and never for the extra damage.
Can my passenger and I ride along to the shop from Weehawken?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab from the Weehawken scene. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car so we plan for it.
The body shop is closed tonight. What happens to the car?
