Flatbed tow truck in Aberdeen, NJ: damage-free loading on Route 35, in driveways and at Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront, 32 minutes out, 24/7
AWD, electric, lowered, luxury or simply not rolling: a flatbed carries the car with all four wheels strapped at the tires. Dispatched to Aberdeen from Linden in roughly 32 minutes, with the price quoted before the truck moves.
Why Aberdeen drivers call us for flatbed towing before anyone else
Flatbed towing in Aberdeen means the vehicle rides on a tilting deck with all four wheels off the ground, which is required for AWD, 4x4, electric, lowered and non-rolling cars, dispatched from Linden in roughly 32 minutes at a flat quoted price.
A flatbed, sometimes called a rollback, has a bed that tilts and slides to the ground so the car is driven or winched up and carried level. Nothing turns while it rides. That is the whole point: an all-wheel-drive SUV, a Tesla, a lowered coupe or a car with a bent wheel cannot be dragged on two wheels without damage, and on Route 35 or Route 34 in Aberdeen we see all four every week. From Linden the flatbed reaches Aberdeen in roughly 32 minutes.
Aberdeen Township surrounds Matawan: Cliffwood and Cliffwood Beach on the bay, Strathmore's residential grid, and the Route 34 and Route 35 commercial strips. Commuter sedans and family SUVs, plus Parkway breakdowns at Exit 117 and 120. The dispatcher asks the make and model on the call so the flatbed is sent when it is needed and not sent when a wheel-lift would do the job for less.
Cars in Aberdeen that must ride on a flatbed
Any all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle: Subarus, most modern SUVs, Audi Quattro, BMW xDrive, Mercedes 4MATIC. Dragging two wheels spins the center differential dry and can destroy it before you leave Aberdeen. Electric vehicles have no true neutral and generate current through the motors while rolling. Lowered cars scrape on a wheel-lift's angle. Cars with a seized engine, locked steering, a missing wheel or crash damage off Route 35 will not roll at all. Every one of these is a flatbed job, and we send it without being asked once you tell us the model.
Room to drop the deck: driveways, curbs and decks in Aberdeen
Driveways throughout; strip-mall lots on Route 35 and Route 34. Easy flatbed access. That decides how the load goes. A driveway with space behind it is a straight pull up the deck. A tight curb space or a row at Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront may need skates under the tires to move the car to where the deck can drop. A garage under seven feet keeps the flatbed out entirely, so the car is rolled or dollied to the entrance and loaded there. The dispatcher plans it from what you tell him.
Loading without a scratch: straps at the tires, boards for the bumper
The car is winched or driven up the deck, then held with soft wheel straps over the tires. Chains never touch the body or suspension. Long-overhang and lowered cars get ramps and boards under the approach so the front lip clears the deck's edge. Owners of luxury, exotic and classic cars around Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront ask for a flatbed by name because the car goes up on straps and comes down without a mark.
Flatbed or wheel-lift: the honest answer for Aberdeen
Not every car in Aberdeen needs the deck. A front-wheel-drive Civic or Corolla that will not start in Cliffwood, headed a few miles to a shop on Route 35, rides a wheel-lift with the front wheels cradled and the rears rolling, and pays a little less. The dispatcher tells you which truck fits and why, and it goes both ways: no flatbed sold to a car that does not need it, no wheel-lift sent to one that does. The emergency towing page for Aberdeen covers the smaller truck.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in AberdeenFive steps from a stranded car in Aberdeen to a car strapped on the deck
The dispatcher takes where in Aberdeen the car sits, what it is, whether it rolls and steers, and the destination, quotes one flat total, and sends the flatbed from Linden; the driver loads the car up the lowered deck, straps all four tires and delivers it with an itemized receipt.
Step one: where the car is in Aberdeen, and what is around it
On Route 35 or Route 34, the direction and the nearest exit or cross street. On a residential street, the address and whether the car is in a driveway, at the curb or boxed in. At Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront, the lot and the row. In a garage, the level and the posted clearance, because a flatbed usually cannot go in. A flatbed needs about a car length and a half behind the vehicle to drop the deck; if that room is not there, say so and the driver brings skates.
Step two: what the car is, because it decides the rigging
Year, make and model, and whether it is AWD, electric, hybrid, lowered or modified. If you do not know whether it is AWD, say the model and the dispatcher will. Electric cars: tell us so the driver arrives ready to put the car in Tow Mode or, if the battery is flat, to use skates under the drive wheels.
Step three: what shape the car is in
Three quick questions: does it roll, does it steer, is anything dragging? Yes, yes, no is a two-minute load at Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront or anywhere in Aberdeen. Anything else means winch work with the deck lowered and possibly a dolly under a corner, and a wrecked car is rigged around its damage. Crashes are covered on the accident towing page for Aberdeen.
Step four: the destination and the flat price
The destination is the only variable in the price, so it is the last question. A mechanic near Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront, a dealer, your own driveway, or a long-distance run are all quoted the same way: flatbed hook fee plus miles, one number, said before the truck moves. You can ask and hang up.
Step five: the ride to the shop
Once the car is on the deck, a strap goes over each tire and the driver checks all four before pulling away from Aberdeen. One passenger usually rides in the cab. At the shop the deck tilts and the car comes off under control, and you pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash against a receipt that lists the pickup, the drop-off, the miles and the service.
To get a quote for flatbed towing in Aberdeen, the dispatcher needs only where the car is, the nearest cross street and what the car is.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyFrom your call to the car being unloaded: how flatbed towing in Aberdeen actually unfolds
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 32 minutes for the truck to reach Aberdeen from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes of loading before the car is strapped down and headed to the address you gave.
Most people in Aberdeen call for flatbed 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.
Minute zero: the call from Aberdeen
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 Garden State Parkway Exit 117 (Route 35 / Keyport), or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If you are not sure exactly where you are in Aberdeen, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
Minutes one to three: one number, then a truck is assigned
Three facts (where the car is in Aberdeen, 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.
While the truck is on its way to Aberdeen
The route in is Garden State Parkway and Route 35, coming off at Garden State Parkway Exit 117 (Route 35 / Keyport). That is roughly 32 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. Take a photo of the car where it sits and note the nearest sign or cross street; it helps the driver find you and it helps later if an insurer asks.
On scene in Aberdeen: fifteen to twenty minutes to 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 Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront 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.
Once the job is done in Aberdeen: paperwork and next steps
You get an itemized receipt by text or email with the hook fee, the mileage and the addresses, which is what an insurer or a warranty company asks for. If the car needs a second move later, from the shop to home, say, the same dispatch line quotes it as a local tow in Aberdeen. Everything else we do in Aberdeen is on the Aberdeen towing page.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Aberdeen in about 32 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Aberdeen: flatbed towing response on Garden State Parkway, Route 35, Route 34 and Lloyd Road / Church Street
Our route from Linden to Aberdeen runs Garden State Parkway, Route 35 and Route 34, coming off at Garden State Parkway Exit 117 (Route 35 / Keyport) and Garden State Parkway Exit 120 (Matawan), and flatbed 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 Aberdeen by its roads: Garden State Parkway, Route 35 and Route 34 and the streets between them. Each note below is the one our drivers use. On a flatbed towing call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
Garden State Parkway at Aberdeen: the Authority's garage first, then flatbed towing from us
Exits 117 (Route 35) and 120 (Matawan) both serve the township; the stretch between them is a common breakdown spot. 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.
Route 35: flatbed towing response in Aberdeen
Runs through Cliffwood; wide with jughandles and strip-mall entrances. Crash damage on Route 35 usually means a car that will not roll straight; the flatbed winch and a dolly handle it, and the tow is quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Aberdeen.
Route 34 through Aberdeen: flatbed towing on the road and off it
The western commercial strip shared with Matawan. Say the direction you are facing on Route 34 and whether you are fully on the shoulder; the deck needs a car length and a half of clear pavement behind the car.
Lloyd Road / Church Street through Aberdeen: flatbed towing on the road and off it
Residential connectors through Strathmore; narrow with parked cars. AWD and electric cars stranded on Lloyd Road / Church Street ride the flatbed only; tell the dispatcher the model and the right truck leaves Linden the first time.
Aberdeen by exit number
Our drivers reach Aberdeen by Garden State Parkway Exit 117 (Route 35 / Keyport) and Garden State Parkway Exit 120 (Matawan). If you are on the highway, the exit number is the single most useful thing you can tell the dispatcher about flatbed towing. 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.
On a shoulder near Aberdeen? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in AberdeenFlatbed towing at the places Aberdeen drivers stop: Route 35 shopping centers, Aberdeen Township municipal complex and Matawan-Aberdeen station and the Matawan-Aberdeen station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) lot
In Aberdeen the flatbed towing calls cluster at Route 35 shopping centers, Aberdeen Township municipal complex, Matawan-Aberdeen station, Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront and Strathmore and Matawan-Aberdeen station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line); whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in roughly 32 minutes.
Flatbed towing at Route 35 shopping centers
A car that will not start at Route 35 shopping centers is a jump first and a flatbed only if the battery is finished or the car is AWD or electric and needs a shop. Either way the price is quoted before anything moves, and Aberdeen pickups here are routine.
Flatbed towing at Aberdeen Township municipal complex
A flatbed pickup at Aberdeen Township municipal complex starts with the lot and the row. The driver needs room behind the car to tilt the deck; if it is boxed in, skates move it sideways first. AWD, EV and low cars parked here go on the deck, never behind a hook.
Matawan-Aberdeen station: flatbed towing response
We reach Matawan-Aberdeen station in roughly 32 minutes from Linden with the flatbed. Meet the driver at the car if you can, take your belongings out, and have the key ready so the car can be put in neutral or Tow Mode for a straight pull up the deck.
Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront: flatbed towing response
The lot at Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront usually has room for the deck to drop, which makes it one of the easier Aberdeen loads. Say the row and the make; an AWD or an EV parked here rides the flatbed with all four tires strapped.
Flatbed towing when the car stops at Strathmore
A flatbed pickup at Strathmore starts with the lot and the row. The driver needs room behind the car to tilt the deck; if it is boxed in, skates move it sideways first. AWD, EV and low cars parked here go on the deck, never behind a hook.
Matawan-Aberdeen station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line): flatbed towing in the commuter lot
The lots at Matawan-Aberdeen station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) are where Aberdeen finds its dead batteries at 6 p.m., and a dead battery is a jump start before it is anything else. If the battery is done and the car is a Subaru, an Audi or a Tesla, the flatbed comes from the same call and carries it to your shop with nothing turning.
At one of these spots right now? Say the name and the lot, and the truck or the tech is on the way.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in AberdeenThe flatbed jobs Aberdeen sends us, from Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront to Route 35
Aberdeen flatbed towing covers the AWD crossovers in every driveway, the electric cars that must never be dragged, the exotics and classics that must never be scratched, the lowered cars that scrape a wheel-lift, the seized and wrecked cars off Route 34, and anything headed farther than the next town.
AWD and 4x4 SUVs, wagons and pickups in Aberdeen
The most common flatbed job in Aberdeen. Subaru, Audi Quattro, BMW xDrive, Mercedes 4MATIC, Jeep, Toyota and Honda AWD crossovers. Two wheels off the ground and two rolling spins the transfer case dry. All four on the deck, always.
EVs: Tow Mode, skates and never a dragged wheel
An electric car's motors are always connected to the wheels, so towing one with the drive wheels turning generates current and damage. On the flatbed, nothing turns. A Tesla with charge goes into Tow Mode and rolls up; one with a dead battery in an Aberdeen driveway goes up on skates under the drive wheels. Say the model on the call.
The cars in Aberdeen whose paint costs more than the tow
The nicer cars parked around Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront and Strathmore are the reason we photograph before loading. Ramps and boards keep a low lip off the deck edge, soft straps hold the car at the tires, and it arrives at the shop or the show exactly as it left. Nobody in Aberdeen with an exotic or a classic wants a hook under it.
Cars too low for a wheel-lift's angle
The ramp angle on a wheel-lift catches a lowered car's lip, splitter or exhaust before the wheels are even off the ground. The flatbed with boards under the approach flattens that angle. Say the ride height on the call and the driver brings extra boards to Aberdeen.
Non-running, wrecked and seized vehicles off Route 35
When nothing on the car turns, the winch does all the work: deck down flat, cable out, a dolly under a locked wheel or a corner with the wheel gone. Wrecks off Route 35 and Route 34, seized engines in Aberdeen driveways, and cars with a wheel missing all load the same way, without dragging anything.
Cars in Aberdeen garages the flatbed cannot enter
Driveways throughout; strip-mall lots on Route 35 and Route 34. Easy flatbed access. When the car is on a garage level, the flatbed waits outside; the driver rolls or dollies the car to the entrance, sometimes with skates under the tires to get it out of a tight space, and loads it at the curb. Tell the dispatcher the deck and the level and it is planned before the truck leaves Linden.
Whatever stopped the car in Aberdeen, one number sends the right truck or technician.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedFlatbed towing prices in Aberdeen, NJ: what the number is made of and why you hear it before dispatch
The cost of a flatbed from Aberdeen is one hook fee, marginally higher than a wheel-lift's, plus per-mile to the destination, quoted as a single number on the call; there is no night, fuel or equipment surcharge, and no storage because the car goes where you said.
What a flatbed tow from Aberdeen is made of
The hook fee for the flatbed runs a little above the wheel-lift fee, because the truck is bigger and the load takes longer. The mileage is the distance from Cliffwood or wherever the car sits to the shop; a run to a shop on Route 35 or in the next town over is usually inside the base mileage. One total, quoted before the deck moves.
The flatbed premium versus the repair it prevents
Drag a Subaru from Aberdeen to a shop on Route 35 behind a wheel-lift and the transfer case may be the most expensive part of the day. Lift a lowered car on one and the front bumper is. The difference between the wheel-lift price and the flatbed price is small next to either, and we send the flatbed only when the car actually needs it.
The charges an Aberdeen flatbed tow does not have
No fuel surcharge. No after-hours or holiday surcharge. No passenger fee. No fee for skates, boards or a dolly; that is just the job done right. No storage, because the car goes where you told us. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site, with an itemized receipt insurers accept.
Why there is no price list for Aberdeen on the website
A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront and the car on the shoulder of Route 34 are different jobs, and so are a compact and a full-size SUV, and so are a drop across town and one across Monmouth County. The dispatcher settles all of that in half a minute and gives you one exact number; if you do not like it, you owe nothing.

Flatbed towing is dispatched to every part of Aberdeen, including Cliffwood, Cliffwood Beach, Strathmore, Oakshades and Freneau, at the same flat quoted price.
Driveways throughout; strip-mall lots on Route 35 and Route 34. Easy flatbed access. The driver's first question is where the car is sitting, because the approach differs by street.
Cliffwood, Aberdeen: flatbed towing response
Calls from Cliffwood are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Aberdeen. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Cliffwood and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Cliffwood Beach: what flatbed towing looks like here

Flatbed towing in Strathmore
Calls from Strathmore are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Aberdeen. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Strathmore and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Flatbed towing in Oakshades
In Oakshades the approach depends on the street: an Oakshades driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Oakshades. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Oakshades as everywhere in Aberdeen.
Flatbed towing in Freneau
Calls from Freneau are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Aberdeen. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Freneau and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchFlatbed towing for every kind of Aberdeen driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 35
The flatbed towing calls from Aberdeen come from a township of about 19,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Matawan-Aberdeen station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line), the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 35.
Aberdeen Township surrounds Matawan: Cliffwood and Cliffwood Beach on the bay, Strathmore's residential grid, and the Route 34 and Route 35 commercial strips. Commuter sedans and family SUVs, plus Parkway breakdowns at Exit 117 and 120. Those are the drivers of Aberdeen, and each group below calls for flatbed towing for its own reasons.
Commuters in Aberdeen and the lot at Matawan-Aberdeen station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line)
The lot at Matawan-Aberdeen station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) is where Aberdeen batteries die: a car sits ten hours, the lights were left on, and at 7 p.m. it is dark and cold. A tow to the shop from the lot or the driveway is quoted before the truck leaves; if a jump or a tire would do instead, the dispatcher says so. Commuters need one thing above all: a real arrival time, and they get one.
Families in the residential streets of Aberdeen
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 Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront
Around Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront and Strathmore 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 Aberdeen is priced the same hook-plus-mileage way as anyone else's and lands at the shop you name; anything over a pickup's weight is a heavy-duty job. Fleet accounts get one invoice a month; ask the dispatcher.
Strangers to Aberdeen: breakdowns on Route 35 on the way somewhere else
Aberdeen sits on Route 35, 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 Aberdeen, 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 Aberdeen dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedFlatbed towing in Aberdeen through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 35
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of flatbed towing call from Aberdeen: 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. Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront streets flood in coastal storms.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Aberdeen 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 flatbed towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Winter flatbed towing in Aberdeen when Route 35 ices over
In winter a flatbed is the only safe way to move an AWD car that cannot be shifted to neutral on ice; the deck comes down flat and the car is winched on. In Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen: March and April on Route 34
Pothole season fills the flatbed with cars carrying bent wheels and torn sidewalls that must not roll another mile. After a hard pothole hit in Aberdeen, 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 flatbed towing in Aberdeen: heat, traffic and holiday weekends
Summer is show-car and dealer-transfer season; low cars ride on with extended ramps and soft straps. Summer in Aberdeen also fills the lots at Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront, 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 flatbed towing in Aberdeen: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall flatbed runs are storm-flooded cars that must never be started, loaded and delivered to the shop for a teardown. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Aberdeen; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Aberdeen.
The seasons change the calls from Aberdeen, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowMonmouth County towingQuestions Aberdeen drivers ask about flatbed towing before they call
How long flatbed towing takes to reach Aberdeen, 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.
What is the flatbed response time to Aberdeen?
Roughly 32 minutes from our Linden yard on a normal day. Rush hour on Route 35 and storms stretch it; the dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
What is the price difference between a flatbed and a wheel-lift?
A little. The flatbed hook fee is marginally higher because it is a bigger truck. For an AWD, an EV or a low car it is far cheaper than the damage a wheel-lift does. The exact number is quoted before dispatch to Aberdeen.
Can you flatbed a Tesla in Aberdeen?
Yes, and only on the flatbed. With charge, the car goes into Tow Mode and rolls up the deck; with a dead battery, skates go under the drive wheels and it is winched. Nothing is dragged. Say the model on the call.
The car is on a garage level. How does the flatbed get it?
Usually not inside; most decks are under seven feet. We bring skates or a dolly, move the car to the entrance and load outside. Tell the dispatcher the garage and level.
Will the car be strapped or chained?
Straps, at the tires. Nothing metal touches the car. A long-nosed or lowered car gets boards under the approach so the lip clears the deck.
A wheel is folded under after a collision on Route 35. Can the flatbed take it?
Yes, that is what the winch is for. Deck down on the Route 35 shoulder, cable out, dolly under the bad corner, car up without dragging. Crashes on Route 35 are detailed on the accident towing page for Aberdeen.
Can a regular front-wheel-drive car use the cheaper truck?
For a short tow from Aberdeen to a shop on Route 35, no. The wheel-lift cradles the front wheels and the rears roll. Long distances and anything AWD, electric or lowered are the flatbed. The dispatcher explains the choice.
Is there room for me in the flatbed cab from Aberdeen?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab to the destination. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car.
My car is at Cliffwood Beach and the bayfront and I am not there. Can you still get it?
Yes, 24 hours a day. Tell us the lot and row; if the car is boxed in, skates move it to where the deck can drop. Bring the key or arrange for it to be left.
Do you flatbed cars long distance from Aberdeen?
Yes, always on the flatbed for distance. The per-mile total is quoted on the call. Details are on the long distance towing page for Aberdeen: /long-distance-towing-aberdeen-nj.
