Flatbed towing in Edison, NJ: all four wheels on the deck, 20 minutes from our Linden dispatch
AWD, electric, lowered, luxury or simply not rolling: a flatbed carries the car with all four wheels strapped at the tires. Dispatched to Edison from Linden in about 20 minutes, with the price quoted before the truck moves.
Flatbed towing near you in Edison: what you get when you call our Linden dispatch
Flatbed towing in Edison 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 about 20 minutes at a flat quoted price.
Lifting two wheels and rolling the other two works for a plain front-wheel-drive sedan. It does not work for most of what drives around Edison today: AWD crossovers, electric cars, hybrids with electric rear axles, low sports cars and anything that will not roll straight after a crash on Route 1. Those ride on a flatbed with all four wheels strapped, and the truck comes from Linden in about 20 minutes.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed. That mix is why the first question after your location is what you drive; it decides whether the flatbed rolls or a smaller truck does.
AWD, EV, lowered, seized: the flatbed list for Edison
The list is longer than people think. Every Subaru, every xDrive, Quattro and 4MATIC, most crossovers sold in Edison in the last decade: AWD, so all four wheels must be off the ground. Every Tesla and EV: the motors are always connected. Every lowered or long-nosed car: it scrapes on a wheel-lift. Every car that will not roll after a crash near NJ Turnpike Exit 10 or a seized engine in a Menlo Park driveway. Tell the dispatcher the model and the flatbed is what leaves Linden.
How Edison parking changes a flatbed load
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. 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 Menlo Park Mall 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.
Damage-free flatbed loading in Edison
Once the car is on the deck it is held by straps that go over the tires, not by chains on the frame or hooks in the suspension. Low cars and cars with long front overhangs get ramps and boards under the approach so the lip clears the deck edge on the way up. That is why owners of the nicer cars parked in Menlo Park and around Menlo Park Mall ask for the flatbed by name: the car arrives at the shop with no new marks.
The Edison cars that do not need the flatbed
Not every car in Edison needs the deck. A front-wheel-drive Civic or Corolla that will not start in Menlo Park, headed a few miles to a shop on Route 1, 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 Edison covers the smaller truck.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in EdisonHow a flatbed tow works in Edison: from the call to the straps to the drop-off
You give the dispatcher the location in Edison, the make and model, whether the car rolls and where it should go; the flatbed is quoted and dispatched from Linden; the car is winched or driven up, strapped at the tires and delivered.
Step one: where the car is in Edison, and what is around it
The flatbed is the biggest truck we send to a car, so the dispatcher wants the spot, not just the address: shoulder of Route 1 with the direction, a curb on a narrow Edison street, a row at Menlo Park Mall, or a garage level with its clearance. That decides where the truck stops and whether skates come out first.
Step two: what the car is, because it decides the rigging
The dispatcher needs the year, make and model, and whether the car is all-wheel-drive, electric, a hybrid, lowered or otherwise modified. Do not guess about AWD; say the model and he knows, whether the car is at Menlo Park Mall or on Route 1. For an EV he wants to know in advance so the driver comes ready for Tow Mode, or for skates under the drive wheels if the battery is dead in an Edison driveway.
Step three: rolling or winched
A car that rolls and steers is driven or pulled straight up the deck in two minutes. A car that does not roll is winched with the deck lowered, sometimes with a dolly under one corner. A car with a bumper hanging or a wheel folded under after a crash on Route 1 is rigged so nothing else gets damaged on the way up. The accident towing page for Edison covers wrecks in detail.
Step four: the destination and the flat price
Your shop, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway in Edison or a long-distance destination. The flatbed hook fee plus mileage is quoted as one total before the truck leaves Linden. Asking costs nothing and obligates you to nothing.
Step five: the ride to the shop
Four tire straps, each tightened and checked, and the truck leaves Menlo Park or wherever the car was. You or one passenger can usually ride along. At the destination the car is lowered off the deck the same careful way it went on, and the itemized receipt shows the Edison pickup, the drop-off, the mileage and the service. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash.
To get a quote for flatbed towing in Edison, the dispatcher needs only where the car is, the nearest cross street and what the car is.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of a flatbed towing call in Edison: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 20 minutes for the truck to reach Edison from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes of loading before the car is strapped down and headed to the address you gave.
The fastest way to take the stress out of flatbed towing in Edison is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.
Minute zero: the call from Edison
Someone picks up (908) 444-0129 around the clock: no menu, no callback queue, no hold music. You are asked the same four things every caller is asked: where the car is (road, direction, nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 10, or the lot name), what it is, what went wrong, and where you want it taken. If the car is in the lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots, 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.
While the truck is on its way to Edison
The route in is Route 1 and I-287, coming off at NJ Turnpike Exit 10. That is about 20 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 Edison: 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 1, 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.
Once the job is done in Edison: paperwork and next steps
An itemized receipt arrives by text or email showing the hook fee, the mileage and both addresses: exactly what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan wants to see. If a question comes up later, the same dispatch line answers it; there is no separate billing department to chase. For the full picture of towing in Edison, see all towing in Edison.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Edison in about 20 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Edison: flatbed towing response on Route 1, I-287, NJ Turnpike and Route 27
Our route from Linden to Edison runs Route 1, I-287 and NJ Turnpike, coming off at NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent), 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 Edison by its roads: Route 1, I-287 and NJ Turnpike 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.
Route 1: flatbed towing response in Edison
The Menlo Park Mall and dealer-row strip; jughandles, constant merges, rear-end collisions and lot lockouts. Crash damage on Route 1 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 Edison.
I-287 through Edison: flatbed towing on the road and off it
Runs through northern Edison toward Piscataway and the Turnpike; the Route 1 interchange and the Durham Avenue stretch are frequent breakdown spots. AWD and electric cars stranded on I-287 ride the flatbed only; tell the dispatcher the model and the right truck leaves Linden the first time.
A breakdown on NJ Turnpike by Edison: who works the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
Exit 10 is Edison's; the I-287 connection and the Raritan toll plaza area 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.
Flatbed towing on Route 27 in Edison
Cuts through the township from Metuchen to Highland Park; slow, parked-up, tows to local shops. On Route 27 the driver stops behind you with the amber bar running, lowers the deck, and winches the car up without your engine or drivetrain turning.
Oak Tree Road through Edison: flatbed towing on the road and off it
The business district; double-parking, tight turns and constant roadside calls. A flatbed on Oak Tree Road needs the shoulder behind your car clear to drop the deck; if the shoulder is narrow, say so and the driver plans a pull-forward first.
Flatbed towing on Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue in Edison
The township's long local spines; commuter traffic and neighborhood driveways. AWD and electric cars stranded on Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue ride the flatbed only; tell the dispatcher the model and the right truck leaves Linden the first time.
Highway exits that serve Edison
Our drivers reach Edison by NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent). 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.
If you are on the side of Route 1 or any road near Edison: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in EdisonMenlo Park Mall, Route 1 dealer row and Middlesex College and Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots: the Edison spots that call for flatbed towing most
The common Edison pickup points for flatbed towing are Menlo Park Mall, Route 1 dealer row, Middlesex College, JFK Medical Center and Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park and Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 20 minutes.
Menlo Park Mall: flatbed towing response
A car that will not start at Menlo Park Mall 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 Edison pickups here are routine.
Flatbed towing when the car stops at Route 1 dealer row
The lot at Route 1 dealer row usually has room for the deck to drop, which makes it one of the easier Edison 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 Middlesex College
We reach Middlesex College in about 20 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.
Flatbed towing when the car stops at JFK Medical Center
We reach JFK Medical Center in about 20 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.
Flatbed towing at Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park
A car that will not start at Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park 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 Edison pickups here are routine.
Flatbed towing when the car stops at Raritan Center industrial park
We reach Raritan Center industrial park in about 20 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.
Flatbed towing at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border
The lots at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border are where Edison 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 EdisonVehicles and situations that ride the flatbed out of Edison
Edison 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 I-287, and anything headed farther than the next town.
All-wheel-drive: the most common flatbed load in Edison
Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Most of those are all-wheel-drive, and an AWD vehicle with two wheels rolling and two lifted is turning its transfer case with no lubrication. Subaru, Quattro, xDrive, 4MATIC, Jeep and every AWD crossover: on the deck with all four wheels up, no exceptions.
Electric cars in Edison ride the deck only
More EVs are parked at Menlo Park Mall and in Menlo Park every year, and each one is a flatbed-only tow. With charge, Tow Mode lets it roll up the deck; without charge, skates go under the drive wheels and it is winched up without a wheel turning. The driver brings the right straps if the dispatcher knows the model.
Exotics and classics: straps, boards and photos
Long front overhangs, low lips and paint that cost more than the tow. Ramps and boards bridge the approach, soft straps hold the tires, and the driver photographs the car before it goes up. Owners in Edison ask for the flatbed by name.
Cars too low for a wheel-lift's angle
Lowered cars, coilover builds and kit cars from the garages of Menlo Park are flatbed jobs by geometry: a wheel-lift's approach angle scrapes them. With boards under the approach the deck's angle is flat enough for anything parked in Edison. Mention the ride height and the driver stacks extra boards on the truck before it leaves for Menlo Park Mall or your street.
Non-running, wrecked and seized vehicles off Route 1
A seized engine, locked steering, a missing wheel or crash damage means the car is winched up the lowered deck, sometimes with a dolly under one corner. Frame damage, bent control arms and torn tires are not a problem for the truck.
Low decks and tight lots in Edison
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. 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.
One call covers every situation above in Edison; describe it, and the right truck or tech is sent.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedHow much flatbed towing costs in Edison, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
The cost of a flatbed from Edison 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.
Flatbed hook fee plus mileage from Edison
The flatbed hook fee is a little higher than the wheel-lift fee because it is a bigger truck and a longer load. Mileage is the distance from the pickup in Edison to the drop-off, and a tow to a shop in Edison or the next town usually stays inside the base mileage. The dispatcher adds the two and gives you one total before the truck moves.
A few dollars more for the deck, a transfer case saved
The flatbed costs a little more than the wheel-lift and a great deal less than what the wrong truck does to an AWD, an EV or a low car. A transfer case, a drive motor, a splitter: any of those dwarfs the difference. For the cars in Edison that need the deck, the deck is the cheap option, and for the cars that do not, we say so.
The charges an Edison flatbed tow does not have
Skates, boards and a dolly are tools, not line items, whether they come out at Menlo Park Mall or on a Menlo Park street. Neither are nights, holidays, a passenger in the cab or fuel. There is no storage charge because the car from Edison goes to your shop or driveway, not our yard. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash and get an itemized receipt your insurer accepts.
Why the Edison price is quoted on the phone, not printed here
A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at Menlo Park Mall and the car on the shoulder of I-287 are different jobs, and so are a compact and a full-size SUV, and so are a drop across town and one across Middlesex 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.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of flatbed towing in Edison. There is no charge for asking.

From Oak Tree to Menlo Park, every part of Edison gets flatbed towing from the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is Oak Tree, Clara Barton, Raritan Center, Bonhamtown, North Edison, Piscatawaytown, Stelton and Menlo Park.
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. Say the Edison neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Oak Tree, Edison: flatbed towing response
In Oak Tree the approach depends on the street: an Oak Tree driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Oak Tree. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Oak Tree as everywhere in Edison.
Clara Barton, Edison: flatbed towing response
Calls from Clara Barton are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Edison. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Clara Barton and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Raritan Center, Edison: flatbed towing response
Raritan Center gets the same response as the rest of Edison: a dispatcher who quotes flatbed towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 20 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Raritan Center and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Flatbed towing in Bonhamtown
Bonhamtown gets the same response as the rest of Edison: a dispatcher who quotes flatbed towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 20 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Bonhamtown and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.

Oak Tree or the far side of Edison: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch for flatbed towing.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe Edison drivers who call us for flatbed towing, and what each one needs
Roughly 107,000 people live in Edison, and flatbed towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Menlo Park Mall, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 1.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed. That mix shapes the flatbed towing calls we get from Edison.
The commuter's car in Edison: Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and the roads to it
The lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots is where Edison 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.
Edison households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
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.
Businesses and fleets near Menlo Park Mall and Route 1 dealer row
Around Menlo Park Mall and Route 1 dealer row 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 Edison 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.
Drivers passing through Edison on Route 1
Edison sits on Route 1, 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 Edison, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 1: everyone in Edison calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedFlatbed towing in Edison through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 1
Flatbed towing in Edison 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. Route 1 underpasses and the Raritan Center low ground flood; I-287's Edison stretch ices first.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Edison 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 Edison when Route 1 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. The first storm of the year is the busiest night in Edison; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 1 has a car on it.
Spring flatbed towing in Edison after the thaw
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 Edison, 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.
Flatbed towing in Edison in July and August
Summer is show-car and dealer-transfer season; low cars ride on with extended ramps and soft straps. Holiday weekends load Route 1 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Flatbed towing in Edison from October to December
Fall flatbed runs are storm-flooded cars that must never be started, loaded and delivered to the shop for a teardown. Wet leaves on the ramps off Route 1 are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Edison, not a tow, and is priced that way.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Edison. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingQuestions Edison drivers ask about flatbed towing before they call
How long flatbed towing takes to reach Edison, 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 a flatbed get to Edison?
About 20 minutes to most of Edison, a little more to Menlo Park at rush hour. The dispatcher tells you the real window on the call.
Is the flatbed more expensive than a wheel-lift in Edison?
Slightly more per hook, and the mileage from Edison is the same. Against a transfer case or a bumper, it is the cheap option for the cars that need it. You hear the total before the truck leaves Linden for Menlo Park Mall or your street.
How do you tow a Tesla with a dead battery?
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.
Can a flatbed get into a parking deck in Edison?
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.
Do chains touch the car on the deck?
Strapped at the tires with soft wheel straps, the same at Menlo Park Mall as on Route 1. Chains never touch the body or suspension. Long or low cars get boards under the approach.
Can the flatbed load a car that does not roll?
Yes. The deck goes flat to the ground on Route 1 or wherever in Edison the crash was, the winch pulls the car up, and a dolly carries any wheel that will not turn. The accident towing page for Edison covers the whole process.
Is the flatbed necessary for a Civic or a Corolla?
Not usually. A front-wheel-drive car going a few miles to a shop in Edison rides a wheel-lift with the front wheels cradled and pays a little less. The dispatcher says which truck fits and why.
Can my passenger and I ride with the car?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab to the destination. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car.
Can you pick up my car at Menlo Park Mall after hours?
Yes. The flatbed runs to Menlo Park Mall around the clock. Give the row, arrange for the key, and if the car is hemmed in the driver brings skates.
Is a long-distance tow from Edison done on a flatbed?
Yes. Anything more than a short local tow rides the flatbed at a quoted per-mile price. See the long distance towing page for Edison: /long-distance-towing-edison-nj.
Something not answered here? Ask the dispatcher; the answer takes a sentence and the quote takes another.
