Flatbed tow truck in Middletown, NJ: damage-free loading on Route 35, in driveways and at Brookdale Community College, 42 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 Middletown from Linden in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, with the price quoted before the truck moves.
Flatbed towing near you in Middletown: what you get when you call our Linden dispatch
Flatbed towing in Middletown 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 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour at a flat quoted price.
The deck on a rollback slides back and tilts until its edge touches the pavement; the car goes up it under its own power or on the winch cable and travels with nothing turning. That matters more every year, because the cars parked around Brookdale Community College and in Lincroft driveways are increasingly all-wheel-drive, electric or low enough to scrape a wheel-lift's angle. Middletown is about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from the Linden yard for the flatbed.
The largest township in Monmouth: Route 35 and Route 36 commerce, the Navesink hills, Lincroft, Port Monmouth and Belford on the bay, and two Coast Line stations. Every kind of call, from bayfront flooding to Route 35 crashes to commuter lots. Those are the vehicles the dispatcher has in mind when he asks the model, because in Middletown the answer usually means the flatbed and sometimes means a cheaper wheel-lift.
When a flatbed is the only correct tow in Middletown
Every kind of call, from bayfront flooding to Route 35 crashes to commuter lots. Most of those are all-wheel-drive, and an AWD car towed on two wheels turns its center differential with no oil pressure; a mile of Route 35 can finish it. Electric cars have motors that generate current whenever the wheels turn and no real neutral. Lowered cars catch their lips on a wheel-lift's ramp angle. Anything with a seized engine, locked steering or a wheel folded under after a crash will not roll. All of it rides the flatbed, and the dispatcher sends it the moment you say the model.
Room to drop the deck: driveways, curbs and decks in Middletown
Driveways almost everywhere, strip lots on Route 35 and Route 36, and the station and ferry lots. The Navesink hills have steep, narrow driveways. A flatbed needs room behind the car to tilt the deck, and it does not fit under most parking decks. Where it cannot reach, skates slide under the tires and move the car sideways or out to where the deck can drop, and a dolly goes under a wheel that will not turn. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is sitting and the driver arrives with that gear out.
Damage-free flatbed loading in Middletown
The driver photographs the car, sets ramps and boards if the nose is low, and winches or drives it up the deck. Then soft wheel straps go over each tire and are checked before the truck moves. Nothing metal touches paint, body or suspension. A classic from a Middletown garage or an exotic from the lot at Belford ferry terminal goes up and comes down exactly as it was.
The Middletown cars that do not need the flatbed
A front-wheel-drive commuter car that will not start in a Middletown 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 Middletown.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in MiddletownWhat happens on a Middletown flatbed call, from dispatch to delivery
The dispatcher takes where in Middletown 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 in Middletown the deck has to drop
On Route 35 or Route 36, 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 Brookdale Community College, 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: AWD, EV, hybrid, lowered?
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 Brookdale Community College or on Route 35. 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 a Middletown driveway.
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 Brookdale Community College or anywhere in Middletown. 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 Middletown.
Step four: the destination and the flat price
Your shop, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway in Middletown 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: straps checked, car delivered, receipt handed over
Once the car is on the deck, a strap goes over each tire and the driver checks all four before pulling away from Middletown. 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 Middletown, the dispatcher needs only where the car is, the nearest cross street and what the car is.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for flatbed towing in Middletown: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
A flatbed towing call from Middletown takes about three minutes on the phone, about 42 minutes for the truck to arrive from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes on scene before the car is loaded and moving to the address you gave.
The fastest way to take the stress out of flatbed towing in Middletown is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.
Minute zero: the call from Middletown
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 109 (Route 520 / Lincroft / Red Bank), or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If you are on the shoulder of Route 35, say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
The quote and the dispatch, before the third minute
Three facts (where the car is in Middletown, 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.
About 42 minutes on the road: Linden to Middletown
The route in is Route 35 and Route 36, coming off at Garden State Parkway Exit 109 (Route 520 / Lincroft / Red Bank). That is about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour 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 Middletown: 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 35, 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.
Afterward: the itemized receipt and the follow-up
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. Keep the receipt with the car's paperwork; roadside plans and some insurers reimburse it. The whole picture of towing in Middletown is on the Middletown towing page.
The clock starts when you call (908) 444-0129: three minutes to a quote, about 42 minutes to a truck in Middletown.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyRoute 35, Route 36, Garden State Parkway and Navesink River Road / Kings Highway: how our trucks reach Middletown for flatbed towing, road by road
Route 35, Route 36 and Garden State Parkway carry our trucks from Linden into Middletown, with Garden State Parkway Exit 109 (Route 520 / Lincroft / Red Bank) and Garden State Parkway Exit 114 (Holmdel / Middletown) as the ramps we use, and we answer flatbed towing calls on all of them; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Middletown by its roads: Route 35, Route 36 and Garden State Parkway 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.
Flatbed towing on Route 35 in Middletown
The main commercial spine through the township; jughandles, shopping centers and the Navesink River bridge approach at Red Bank. A flatbed on Route 35 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 Route 36 in Middletown
Runs along the Bayshore through Port Monmouth, Belford and Leonardo toward Atlantic Highlands; fast and wide. AWD and electric cars stranded on Route 36 ride the flatbed only; tell the dispatcher the model and the right truck leaves Linden the first time.
A breakdown on Garden State Parkway by Middletown: who works the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
Exits 109 and 114 serve the township; the stretch through Lincroft is a 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.
Navesink River Road / Kings Highway through Middletown: flatbed towing on the road and off it
The hilly, winding roads through the Navesink and Locust sections; icy in winter. A flatbed on Navesink River Road / Kings Highway 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.
Half Mile Road / Newman Springs Road: flatbed towing response in Middletown
Lincroft connectors with Brookdale Community College traffic. Say the direction you are facing on Half Mile Road / Newman Springs Road and whether you are fully on the shoulder; the deck needs a car length and a half of clear pavement behind the car.
The exits our trucks take for Middletown
For Middletown the ramps to know are Garden State Parkway Exit 109 (Route 520 / Lincroft / Red Bank) and Garden State Parkway Exit 114 (Holmdel / Middletown). A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets the flatbed towing truck on the right side of the road the first time. 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 35 or any road near Middletown: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in MiddletownMiddletown Arts Center, Poricy Park and Sandy Hook approach via Route 36 and Middletown station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots: the Middletown spots that call for flatbed towing most
The common Middletown pickup points for flatbed towing are Middletown Arts Center, Poricy Park, Sandy Hook approach via Route 36, Navesink River and Brookdale Community College and Middletown station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots and Belford ferry terminal (Seastreak) and its lots; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Middletown Arts Center: flatbed towing response
A flatbed pickup at Middletown Arts Center 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.
Flatbed towing at Poricy Park
We reach Poricy Park in about 42 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.
Sandy Hook approach via Route 36: flatbed towing response
A car that will not start at Sandy Hook approach via Route 36 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 Middletown pickups here are routine.
Flatbed towing at Navesink River
A car that will not start at Navesink River 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 Middletown pickups here are routine.
Flatbed towing when the car stops at Brookdale Community College
We reach Brookdale Community College in about 42 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 Belford ferry terminal
The lot at Belford ferry terminal usually has room for the deck to drop, which makes it one of the easier Middletown loads. Say the row and the make; an AWD or an EV parked here rides the flatbed with all four tires strapped.
The station lots at Middletown station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots and Belford ferry terminal (Seastreak) and its lots: flatbed towing for commuters
The lots at Middletown station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots and Belford ferry terminal (Seastreak) and its lots are where Middletown 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.
If you are at one of these Middletown spots now, say which one and where in the lot; flatbed towing is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in MiddletownWhat goes on the deck in Middletown: AWD, EVs, exotics, lowered cars and wrecks
The flatbed jobs in Middletown are all-wheel-drive SUVs and wagons, Teslas and other EVs, luxury and classic cars from around Brookdale Community College, lowered and tuned cars, vehicles that will not roll after a crash on Route 35, cars stuck in low garages, and any car going a long distance.
AWD and 4x4 SUVs, wagons and pickups in Middletown
The most common flatbed job in Middletown. 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
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.
Luxury, exotic and classic cars around Brookdale Community College
The nicer cars parked around Brookdale Community College and Belford ferry terminal 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 Middletown with an exotic or a classic wants a hook under it.
Cars too low for a wheel-lift's angle
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 Brookdale Community College, Lincroft or wherever in Middletown it sits.
Seized engines, locked steering and missing wheels
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 36, seized engines in Middletown driveways, and cars with a wheel missing all load the same way, without dragging anything.
Getting a car out of a parking deck in Middletown
Driveways almost everywhere, strip lots on Route 35 and Route 36, and the station and ferry lots. The Navesink hills have steep, narrow driveways. 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 Middletown, one number sends the right truck or technician.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedHow much flatbed towing costs in Middletown, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Flatbed towing in Middletown is priced as a flatbed hook fee plus mileage to wherever the car is going, a little above the wheel-lift rate and nothing like the cost of the drivetrain or bumper damage a wheel-lift can do to the wrong car, with one total quoted before dispatch and no surcharges.
Two numbers: the flatbed hook and the miles from Middletown
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 Middletown to the drop-off, and a tow to a shop in Middletown or the next town usually stays inside the base mileage. The dispatcher adds the two and gives you one total before the truck moves.
The flatbed premium versus the repair it prevents
Drag a Subaru from Middletown 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 a Middletown flatbed tow does not have
The receipt for a Middletown flatbed tow has a hook fee and a mileage and nothing else: no fuel surcharge, no after-hours premium, no passenger fee, no charge for the gear that got a boxed-in car at Brookdale Community College onto the deck, and no storage. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash at the drop, and the receipt is itemized for insurance.
Why there is no price list for Middletown on the website
A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at Brookdale Community College and the car on the shoulder of Route 36 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.

Lincroft, Port Monmouth, Belford, Leonardo, Navesink, Locust, New Monmouth, Fairview, River Plaza and Chapel Hill: every section of Middletown gets flatbed towing at the same flat quoted price.
Driveways almost everywhere, strip lots on Route 35 and Route 36, and the station and ferry lots. The Navesink hills have steep, narrow driveways. Say the Middletown neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Lincroft, Middletown: flatbed towing response
Calls from Lincroft are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Middletown. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Lincroft and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Port Monmouth: what flatbed towing looks like here
In Port Monmouth the approach depends on the street: a Port Monmouth driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Port Monmouth. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Port Monmouth as everywhere in Middletown.
Belford: what flatbed towing looks like here

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe Middletown drivers who call us for flatbed towing, and what each one needs
Roughly 67,000 people live in Middletown, and flatbed towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Middletown station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Brookdale Community College, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 35.
The largest township in Monmouth: Route 35 and Route 36 commerce, the Navesink hills, Lincroft, Port Monmouth and Belford on the bay, and two Coast Line stations. Every kind of call, from bayfront flooding to Route 35 crashes to commuter lots. Those are the drivers of Middletown, and each group below calls for flatbed towing for its own reasons.
Commuters in Middletown and the lot at Middletown station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots
Commuters make up most of the flatbed towing calls we get from Middletown, and Middletown station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots 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.
Families in the residential streets of Middletown
A township of about 67,000 people means thousands of family driveways, and the family car fails on a schedule: before school pickup, on the way to practice, the morning of a trip. Driveways almost everywhere, strip lots on Route 35 and Route 36, and the station and ferry lots. The Navesink hills have steep, narrow driveways. The truck arrives set up for the driveway, and the passengers ride in the cab. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Middletown businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Middletown call for work vehicles that make money by moving. We quote the job, give the real arrival window and get the vehicle to the shop or the yard. Repeat callers are welcome to ask for an account so the paperwork is one email a month. Details on towing for Middletown businesses.
Drivers passing through Middletown on Route 35
Middletown 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 Middletown, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Middletown, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.
Call (908) 444-0129Flatbed towing explainedHow the season changes flatbed towing in Middletown: what breaks on Route 35 and Route 36 in January, April, July and October
Flatbed towing in Middletown 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. Port Monmouth, Belford and Leonardo flood in coastal storms; the Navesink hills ice before anything else.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Middletown 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 Middletown 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. The first storm of the year is the busiest night in Middletown; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 35 has a car on it.
Spring flatbed towing in Middletown 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 Middletown, 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.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Middletown
Summer is show-car and dealer-transfer season; low cars ride on with extended ramps and soft straps. Summer storms flood the low spots in Middletown in minutes; a car that stalled in water is towed to the shop, never restarted on the spot.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Middletown
Fall flatbed runs are storm-flooded cars that must never be started, loaded and delivered to the shop for a teardown. Deer cross Route 36 and the quieter roads of Middletown around Lincroft at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Middletown 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.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Middletown. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Call nowMonmouth County towingQuestions Middletown drivers ask about flatbed towing before they call
How long flatbed towing takes to reach Middletown, 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 long does the flatbed take to reach Middletown?
About 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour to most of Middletown, a little more to Lincroft at rush hour. The dispatcher tells you the real window on the call.
Does a flatbed cost more than a regular tow in Middletown?
Slightly more per hook, and the mileage from Middletown 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 Brookdale Community College or your street.
How do you tow a Tesla with a dead battery?
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.
Can a flatbed get into a parking deck in Middletown?
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?
Soft straps over each tire, tightened and checked before the truck leaves Middletown. No chains on the frame, body or suspension. Low cars from Lincroft or anywhere else get ramps and boards under the approach.
Can the flatbed load a car that does not roll?
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 Middletown 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.
Can I ride along on a flatbed tow from Middletown?
Usually one person rides in the cab. If more people are with the car in Middletown, say so and a ride can be arranged before the truck leaves.
My car is at Brookdale Community College and I am not there. Can you still get it?
Yes, any hour. Say the lot and the row at Brookdale Community College; 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.
Is a long-distance tow from Middletown done on a flatbed?
Yes. Long runs are flatbed runs, quoted per mile before the truck leaves Linden. The long distance towing page for Middletown has the details: /long-distance-towing-middletown-nj.
