Flatbed towing in Franklin Township, NJ for AWD, electric, lowered and non-rolling cars: carried on the deck, never dragged, 40 minutes from Linden
The safest way to move a car off I-287 or out of a Franklin Township driveway is on a deck, not behind a hook. A flatbed from Linden reaches you in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, 24 hours a day, flat price quoted first.

Why Franklin Township drivers call us for flatbed towing before anyone else
Flatbed towing in Franklin Township 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 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour 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 I-287 or Route 27 in Franklin Township we see all four every week. From Linden the flatbed reaches Franklin Township in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
A large, spread-out township south of the Raritan with the Somerset section near New Brunswick, subdivisions along Route 27 and Easton Avenue, warehouses and corporate parks near I-287, and rural roads toward the Millstone. Everything from Rutgers commuter cars to box trucks. 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 Franklin Township that must ride on a flatbed
The list is longer than people think. Every Subaru, every xDrive, Quattro and 4MATIC, most crossovers sold in Franklin Township 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 I-287 Exit 10 (Easton Avenue) or a seized engine in a Somerset driveway. Tell the dispatcher the model and the flatbed is what leaves Linden.
Room to drop the deck: driveways, curbs and decks in Franklin Township
The flatbed is the longest truck we send to Franklin Township, and on a street in Franklin Park it needs a car length and a half behind the vehicle to lower the deck. Apartment lots and driveways in the Somerset section, open lots at the corporate parks, long rural driveways in the south. Where the room is not there, in a nose-to-tail curb space in Somerset or under a garage ceiling, skates slide the car sideways or out to the entrance and a dolly carries a wheel that will not turn. Say exactly where the car sits and the gear is on the truck.
Loading without a scratch: straps at the tires, boards for the bumper
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 Somerset and around Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border) ask for the flatbed by name: the car arrives at the shop with no new marks.
Flatbed or wheel-lift: the honest answer for Franklin Township
A front-wheel-drive commuter car that will not start in a Franklin Township driveway, going a few miles to a shop, can ride a wheel-lift with its front wheels cradled and its rear wheels rolling, for slightly less. We tell you which truck your car needs and why. We never upsell a flatbed to a car that does not need one, and we never send a wheel-lift to one that does. See the difference on the emergency towing page for Franklin Township.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in Franklin TownshipHow a flatbed tow works in Franklin Township: from the call to the straps to the drop-off
You give the dispatcher the location in Franklin Township, 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 in Franklin Township the deck has to drop
Say where the car is the way the driver will find it: I-287 toward I-287 Exit 10 (Easton Avenue) with the direction, a driveway or curb in Somerset and whether other cars box it in, the row at Colonial Park, or the garage level and the height on the sign. The deck needs a car length and a half of clear pavement behind the vehicle; if it is not there, say so and skates ride along.
Step two: the make, model and drivetrain
What you drive sets up the load. A Subaru or a xDrive in Somerset means all four wheels off the ground. A Tesla means Tow Mode if the battery has charge and skates under the drive wheels if it does not. A lowered car means boards for the approach. Give the year, make and model, and the driver leaves Linden with the right gear on the truck.
Step three: what shape the car is in
If the car rolls and the wheel turns, it goes up the deck under its own power or on a straight winch pull in a couple of minutes. If it does not, the deck comes all the way down and the winch does the work, with a dolly under a wheel that is locked or folded. A car that was hit on Route 27 with parts hanging is rigged so nothing else tears on the way up; the accident towing page for Franklin Township goes into it.
Step four: the quote, before the flatbed leaves Linden
Name the destination: a shop in Franklin Township, a dealer on I-287, a body shop, your driveway in Somerset, or somewhere hours away. The mileage comes from that, the flatbed hook fee is fixed, and the dispatcher reads you one total. Yes sends the truck; no costs nothing.
Step five: strapped at four tires, checked, delivered
Soft wheel straps over each tire, tightened and checked before the truck moves off I-287 or out of the lot at Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border). One passenger can usually ride along. At the destination the deck tilts, the car rolls off under control, and you get an itemized receipt with the Franklin Township pickup, drop-off, mileage and service. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash.
The road, the nearest cross street and the make and model: with those three things the dispatcher quotes flatbed towing in Franklin Township on the spot.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for flatbed towing in Franklin Township: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 40 minutes for the truck to reach Franklin Township from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes of loading before the car is strapped down and headed to the address you gave.
Nobody who calls us from Franklin Township has done this before, or does it often. Here is the whole thing in order, so the hour is predictable.
Minute zero: the call from Franklin Township
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 I-287 Exit 10 (Easton Avenue), or the lot name), what it is, what went wrong, and where you want it taken. If you are on the shoulder of I-287, say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line.
Minutes one to three: one number, then a truck is assigned
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 I-287. You pay nothing until the job is finished.
While the truck is on its way to Franklin Township
The truck comes in on I-287 and Route 27 and uses I-287 Exit 10 (Easton Avenue). 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. 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 Franklin Township: 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 Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border) 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
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.

The clock starts when you call (908) 444-0129: three minutes to a quote, about 40 minutes to a truck in Franklin Township.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Franklin Township: flatbed towing response on I-287, Route 27, Easton Avenue (Route 527) and Hamilton Street
Our route from Linden to Franklin Township runs I-287, Route 27 and Easton Avenue (Route 527), coming off at I-287 Exit 10 (Easton Avenue) and I-287 Exit 12 (Weston Canal Road), and flatbed towing on any of those roads is a direct dispatch.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Franklin Township by its roads: I-287, Route 27 and Easton Avenue (Route 527) 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.
I-287 through Franklin Township: flatbed towing on the road and off it
Runs across the northern part of the township; Exits 10 and 12 serve the corporate parks. On I-287 the driver stops behind you with the amber bar running, lowers the deck, and winches the car up without your engine or drivetrain turning.
Route 27 through Franklin Township: flatbed towing on the road and off it
The commercial spine through the Somerset section toward New Brunswick; jughandles and traffic. AWD and electric cars stranded on Route 27 ride the flatbed only; tell the dispatcher the model and the right truck leaves Linden the first time.
Easton Avenue (Route 527) through Franklin Township: flatbed towing on the road and off it
Toward New Brunswick and the hospital; busy. Crash damage on Easton Avenue (Route 527) 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 Franklin Township.
Flatbed towing on Hamilton Street in Franklin Township
The Somerset section's main street; tight. AWD and electric cars stranded on Hamilton Street ride the flatbed only; tell the dispatcher the model and the right truck leaves Linden the first time.
Flatbed towing on Amwell Road / Canal Road in Franklin Township
Rural roads toward the Millstone; no shoulders. Crash damage on Amwell Road / Canal Road 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 Franklin Township.
Franklin Township by exit number
I-287 Exit 10 (Easton Avenue) and I-287 Exit 12 (Weston Canal Road) are the exits our trucks use for Franklin Township. 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.
On a shoulder near Franklin Township? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in Franklin TownshipDelaware and Raritan Canal, Corporate parks along Davidson Avenue and Route 27 shopping centers and Bus routes along Route 27 and Easton Avenue: the Franklin Township spots that call for flatbed towing most
The common Franklin Township pickup points for flatbed towing are Delaware and Raritan Canal, Corporate parks along Davidson Avenue, Route 27 shopping centers, Franklin Township Municipal Complex and Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border) and Bus routes along Route 27 and Easton Avenue; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Flatbed towing when the car stops at Delaware and Raritan Canal
The lot at Delaware and Raritan Canal usually has room for the deck to drop, which makes it one of the easier Franklin Township loads. Say the row and the make; an AWD or an EV parked here rides the flatbed with all four tires strapped.
Flatbed towing at Corporate parks along Davidson Avenue
We reach Corporate parks along Davidson Avenue in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour 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 Route 27 shopping centers
We reach Route 27 shopping centers in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour 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 Franklin Township Municipal Complex
The lot at Franklin Township Municipal Complex usually has room for the deck to drop, which makes it one of the easier Franklin Township loads. Say the row and the make; an AWD or an EV parked here rides the flatbed with all four tires strapped.
Flatbed towing at Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border)
A car that will not start at Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border) 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 Franklin Township pickups here are routine.
Colonial Park: flatbed towing response
The lot at Colonial Park usually has room for the deck to drop, which makes it one of the easier Franklin Township loads. Say the row and the make; an AWD or an EV parked here rides the flatbed with all four tires strapped.
Flatbed towing at Bus routes along Route 27 and Easton Avenue
Cars left all day at Bus routes along Route 27 and Easton Avenue come back to dead batteries, and most of those are a jump start, not a tow. When the battery is finished and the car is AWD or electric, the flatbed is dispatched from the same call and the car rides to the shop you choose with all four wheels on the deck.
Stuck at Delaware and Raritan Canal 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 Franklin TownshipThe flatbed jobs Franklin Township sends us, from Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border) to I-287
Franklin Township 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 27, and anything headed farther than the next town.
Subarus, Quattros, xDrives and 4MATICs in Somerset
Walk any block in Somerset and count the Subarus, the Audis, the xDrives and the AWD Toyotas and Hondas. Every one of them towed on two wheels is a transfer case running dry. The flatbed is not an upgrade for those cars in Franklin Township; it is the only tow that does not cause damage.
EVs: Tow Mode, skates and never a dragged wheel
EVs are loaded on the flatbed only. Where the car supports it we use Tow Mode so it rolls onto the deck; with a flat battery we use skates under the drive wheels. We never drag an EV's drive wheels even a few feet. Tell us the model so the driver arrives with the right straps.
The cars in Franklin Township whose paint costs more than the tow
A Porsche from a garage in Somerset or a classic headed to a show from Franklin Township has a nose that will not clear a normal deck angle. The driver bridges the approach with ramps and boards, photographs the car, winches or drives it up, and straps the tires; nothing touches the body. Owners who have had a bad tow before ask for the flatbed by name.
Modified and lowered cars in Franklin Township
A wheel-lift's angle scrapes a lowered car on the way up; a flatbed with boards under the approach does not. Tell the dispatcher the ride height if the car is modified and the driver brings extra boards to Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border), Somerset or wherever in Franklin Township it sits.
Seized engines, locked steering and missing wheels
Runs across the northern part of the township; Exits 10 and 12 serve the corporate parks. A car that has been hit there, or one that seized its engine or locked its steering, is winched up the fully lowered deck with a dolly under whichever corner will not turn. Bent frames, folded control arms and shredded tires are ordinary work for the flatbed.
Getting a car out of a parking deck in Franklin Township
A flatbed is taller than nearly every parking deck ceiling. Apartment lots and driveways in the Somerset section, open lots at the corporate parks, long rural driveways in the south. The car is moved on skates or a dolly to the entrance and loaded on the street. Say the garage and the level on the call and the driver arrives with the gear and the plan.
However the car ended up stopped in Franklin Township, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedHow much flatbed towing costs in Franklin Township, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
The cost of a flatbed from Franklin Township 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 Franklin Township 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 Somerset or wherever the car sits to the shop; a run to a shop on I-287 or in the next town over is usually inside the base mileage. One total, quoted before the deck moves.
A few dollars more for the deck, a transfer case saved
Drag a Subaru from Franklin Township to a shop on I-287 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.
No fees for skates, boards, nights or holidays
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.
The reason this page has no flatbed towing price table for Franklin Township
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 Franklin Township.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of flatbed towing in Franklin Township. There is no charge for asking.

Everything from Rutgers commuter cars to box trucks. That mix shapes the flatbed towing calls we get from Franklin Township.
Franklin Township commuters, from the platform at Bus routes along Route 27 and Easton Avenue to the driveway
Commuters make up most of the flatbed towing calls we get from Franklin Township, and Bus routes along Route 27 and Easton Avenue 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.

Passing through Franklin Township on I-287 when the car quit
Half of the flatbed towing calls from Franklin Township are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on I-287 on the way somewhere else. You do not need to know the town. Say the road, the direction and the last exit or a sign you can see, and the dispatcher places you. If the car is going far, we quote it as one number; see long distance towing.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Franklin Township, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedFlatbed towing in Franklin Township through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on I-287
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of flatbed towing call from Franklin Township: 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. Canal Road and the Millstone lowlands flood.
The same trucks serve Franklin Township in every month, but I-287 in January is a different road from I-287 in July. This is how the season changes the flatbed towing calls we get from Franklin Township, and how we prepare for each.
Flatbed towing in Franklin Township in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
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 Franklin Township the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
March and April in Franklin Township: potholes, bent wheels and inspection failures
Pothole season fills the flatbed with cars carrying bent wheels and torn sidewalls that must not roll another mile. Route 27 and the side streets off it break up every March; a car that hit a hole and now vibrates or pulls should not be driven to the shop.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Franklin Township
Summer is show-car and dealer-transfer season; low cars ride on with extended ramps and soft straps. Summer in Franklin Township also fills the lots at Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border), 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 Franklin Township: 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. Deer cross Route 27 and the quieter roads of Franklin Township around Somerset at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Franklin Township with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
The seasons change the calls from Franklin Township, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowSomerset County towingWhat Franklin Township drivers want to know about flatbed towing, price and where the car goes
How long flatbed towing takes to reach Franklin Township, 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 Franklin Township?
Normally about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. Rush hour on I-287 and weather add time, and the dispatcher builds the window from where the nearest flatbed actually is.
Does a flatbed cost more than a regular tow in Franklin Township?
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 Franklin Township.
Do you tow electric cars in Franklin Township?
Yes. EVs load on a flatbed only, in Tow Mode where the car supports it or on skates when the battery is flat. We never drag the drive wheels. Tell us the model.
My car is in a low garage in Franklin Township. Can the flatbed reach it?
The flatbed stays outside, on the street near Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border) or wherever the deck is. The driver rolls or dollies the car to the garage entrance, sometimes on skates if it is boxed in, and loads it at the curb. Tell the dispatcher which deck in Franklin Township and which level.
How is the car held on the flatbed?
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 I-287. Can the flatbed take it?
Yes. The deck is lowered and the car is winched up, with a dolly under a wheel that will not turn. See the accident towing page for Franklin Township for the full process.
Can a regular front-wheel-drive car use the cheaper truck?
Usually not for a short local tow. A wheel-lift cradles the front wheels and is slightly cheaper. The dispatcher tells you which truck your car needs and why.
Is there room for me in the flatbed cab from Franklin Township?
One passenger, as a rule. Tell the dispatcher how many of you are at the car in Franklin Township and he plans for the rest.
My car is at Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border) and I am not there. Can you still get it?
Yes, any hour. Say the lot and the row at Rutgers Busch and Livingston campuses (border); a boxed-in car is moved on skates to where the deck can drop. Leave the key with someone or with the car, or meet the driver.
Can the flatbed take my car out of state from Franklin Township?
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 Franklin Township: /long-distance-towing-franklin-township-nj.
