Local towing in Jersey City, NJ: flat-rate tows to the shop, the dealer or your driveway, 28 minutes from Linden
A short, honest tow at a flat quoted price. Shop transfers on Route 440, dealer drops, driveway pickups and the Jersey City car that just needs to get across town. Scheduled for the window you choose or dispatched now, roughly 28 minutes from Linden.
Local towing in Jersey City, NJ: why drivers call The NJ Towing Service first, 28 minutes from Linden
A local tow in Jersey City is priced as a hook fee and a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, quoted before anything moves; you can book a window or have the truck leave Linden now, roughly 28 minutes out, and there are no fuel, after-hours or ride-along fees.
Repair shops and dealers along Route 440 use us for customer pickups and transfers. Residents use us for the car that runs but should not be driven, the car that cannot legally be driven, and the car that has to move before a ticket. Every one of those is a local tow: hook plus mileage, one total, quoted first. From Linden the truck reaches Jersey City in roughly 28 minutes.
The second-largest city in the state and the densest place we tow: high-rise garages on the Downtown and Newport waterfront, the Holland Tunnel approach, Journal Square's transit hub, and mile after mile of rowhouse blocks with alternate-side parking in the Heights, Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette and the West Side. Every call starts with the question of where the car actually is: on the street, in a deck, or in a building garage. Those are the streets and the cars the driver has in mind when he chooses between a wheel-lift and a flatbed for a Jersey City pickup.
One price on the phone, the same price on the receipt in Jersey City
The quote has two parts, the hook fee and the mileage, and you hear both before the truck leaves Linden. Nothing is added for fuel, for the hour, or for a passenger in the cab. A tow from Downtown / Paulus Hook to a shop on Route 440 almost always stays inside the base mileage, which means the hook fee is the whole bill. The homepage explains how towing prices work.
Scheduled tows for Jersey City shops, dealers and fleets
Plenty of Jersey City tows are planned a day ahead. A shop on Route 440 wants a customer's car brought in at eight. A dealer has a trade-in going to auction. A property manager at Journal Square has a car that has not moved in a month. You choose the window, the driver phones before he pulls up, and the rate is the same as an immediate tow. Book on the contact page or at (908) 444-0129.
Limping to Route 440 versus calling a truck
A slipping transmission, an overheating engine, a grinding wheel bearing, a red flashing check-engine light, a brake that drags. Each can limp the few miles to a shop on Route 440 and turn a cheap repair into an expensive one on the way. A local tow costs less than the damage. Describe the symptom and the dispatcher will be honest about whether it is safe to drive, even if the answer is no tow.
Loading a car on Jersey City streets, driveways and lots
Downtown and Newport are almost all building garages and municipal decks with clearance under seven feet, so the car is dollied or driven to the ground level and loaded outside; dispatch asks the building name and level every time. The rest of the city is alternate-side street parking where cars sit boxed in nose-to-tail. That decides the truck. A wheel-lift squeezes into a narrow Downtown / Paulus Hook street and hooks a front-wheel-drive car in two minutes. A flatbed handles AWD, electric and lowered cars but needs a car's length behind the vehicle to lower the deck. Say where the car sits and whether it rolls, and the correct truck comes the first time.
If you need local towing in Jersey City this minute, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129All towing in Jersey CityWhat happens when you call for a local tow in Jersey City
Tell dispatch the pickup spot in Jersey City, the destination, the vehicle and whether it moves under its own power; the price comes back as hook plus mileage; you choose immediate or scheduled; the driver calls ahead, loads and delivers, and you get an itemized receipt.
Step one: pickup and destination in or near Jersey City
Two addresses make the quote: where the car is in Jersey City and where you want it. Say whether the pickup is a driveway, a curb, a lot at Journal Square or a garage, because that decides how the driver approaches.
Step two: make, model, drivetrain, and does it roll
The dispatcher asks for the year, make and model, whether it is all-wheel drive, electric or low, and whether it starts, rolls and steers. A rolling car is on the truck in two minutes. One that will not roll is winched up a flatbed, and a locked steering wheel or a missing key means a dolly comes along.
Step three: one total before you commit
The dispatcher gives one figure, hook plus mileage, and the call can end there if you want. A tow from Downtown / Paulus Hook to a shop on Route 440 is usually inside the base mileage. No charge for asking.
Step four: now or a scheduled window
An immediate tow is 28 minutes from the Linden yard by way of NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C. A scheduled tow gets the window you name, today or tomorrow, and a phone call when the driver is a few minutes out. Dealers and shops in Jersey City tend to book the night before.
Step five: pickup, drop-off, receipt
The driver loads the car, one passenger can usually ride along, and the car is delivered to the destination. If the shop is closed we can leave the car in its lot with the key in the drop box. You get an itemized receipt with the Jersey City pickup, the drop-off and the mileage. 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 local towing in Jersey City on the spot.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for local towing in Jersey City: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
A local towing call from Jersey City takes about three minutes on the phone, about 28 minutes for the truck to arrive from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes on scene before the car is loaded and moving to the address you gave.
Most people in Jersey City call for local 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.
Step one, from Jersey City: the call and the four questions
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 NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C, 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 Jersey City, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
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.
About 28 minutes on the road: Linden to Jersey City
From Linden the truck runs NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension and Route 440 and takes NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C into Jersey City, roughly 28 minutes off-peak; when the weather or the traffic is bad you are told the honest window on the call. Expect a call from the driver when he is minutes away so you know which truck to look for. Use the wait to gather the key, your license, registration and insurance card, and take anything you need out of the car.
On scene in Jersey City: fifteen to twenty minutes to load
The driver confirms your name and the destination, photographs the car, and positions the truck for the street. A driveway, a curb, a lot or a deck each get a different approach, which is why the dispatcher asked. The car is loaded, strapped and photographed again. If it is going to a shop after hours, the key is left the way the shop asked. You can ride along in most cases; say so on the call.
After: the receipt and what to do next
The last step is the receipt, sent by text or email with the hook fee, the miles and the two addresses itemized, which is the document an insurer or a roadside plan asks for when you claim it back. Keep the receipt with the car's paperwork; roadside plans and some insurers reimburse it. The whole picture of towing in Jersey City is on the Jersey City towing page.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Jersey City in about 28 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyNJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440, Kennedy Boulevard and Route 1 & 9 Truck (Tonnele Avenue): how our trucks reach Jersey City for local towing, road by road
Our route from Linden to Jersey City runs NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440 and Kennedy Boulevard, coming off at NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C, Route 440 exits and Holland Tunnel approach, and local 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.
These are the roads a Jersey City call for local towing happens on, in the order a driver from Linden meets them. Give the dispatcher the road, your direction and the nearest exit or cross street.
NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension at Jersey City: the Authority's garage first, then local towing from us
Exits 14A, 14B and 14C serve the city; 14C dumps onto the Holland Tunnel approach, the worst place in New Jersey to break down. 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 440 through Jersey City: local towing on the road and off it
The west-side highway past the shopping centers and Society Hill; fast with narrow shoulders. Many Jersey City local tows end at the shops and dealers on Route 440; a tow there from anywhere in town usually stays inside the base mileage.
Local towing on Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City
The north-south spine through Journal Square and Greenville; double-parked and slow. Scheduled pickups along Kennedy Boulevard are booked for a window you choose, and the driver calls before he arrives.
Route 1 & 9 Truck (Tonnele Avenue): local towing response in Jersey City
The heavy-truck corridor through the north end toward the Pulaski Skyway; medium-duty breakdowns. A car that limped onto Route 1 & 9 Truck (Tonnele Avenue) with a slipping transmission or a red light should stop there; the tow to the shop costs less than the next mile.
Local towing on Pulaski Skyway (Route 1 & 9) in Jersey City
No shoulders at all; a breakdown here is a lane closure and a police-coordinated recovery. On Pulaski Skyway (Route 1 & 9), say the direction and the nearest cross street or business so the driver stops on the right side.
Local towing on Communipaw Avenue / Grand Street / Newark Avenue in Jersey City
The downtown and Bergen-Lafayette spines; deliveries, double-parking, tight loads. Many Jersey City local tows end at the shops and dealers on Communipaw Avenue / Grand Street / Newark Avenue; a tow there from anywhere in town usually stays inside the base mileage.
Local towing on Marin Boulevard / Washington Boulevard in Jersey City
The waterfront tower district; every building has a garage. Scheduled pickups along Marin Boulevard / Washington Boulevard are booked for a window you choose, and the driver calls before he arrives.
Highway exits that serve Jersey City
Our drivers reach Jersey City by NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C, Route 440 exits and Holland Tunnel approach. A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets the local 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.
On a shoulder near Jersey City? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in Jersey CityLocal towing at the places Jersey City drivers stop: Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers, Exchange Place and the Downtown waterfront and Liberty State Park and Liberty Science Center and the PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport lot
The common Jersey City pickup points for local towing are Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers, Exchange Place and the Downtown waterfront, Liberty State Park and Liberty Science Center, Holland Tunnel entrance and Jersey City Medical Center and PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations across the city with park-and-rides at Liberty State Park and West Side and Journal Square Transportation Center bus terminal; a truck or technician reaches any of them in roughly 28 minutes.
Local towing at Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers
Vehicles left at Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers that will not start are a jump first and a local tow to the shop only if the battery or the car is finished. Either way the price is quoted before anything moves, roughly 28 minutes from Linden.
Local towing at Exchange Place and the Downtown waterfront
Vehicles left at Exchange Place and the Downtown waterfront that will not start are a jump first and a local tow to the shop only if the battery or the car is finished. Either way the price is quoted before anything moves, roughly 28 minutes from Linden.
Local towing when the car stops at Liberty State Park and Liberty Science Center
Vehicles left at Liberty State Park and Liberty Science Center that will not start are a jump first and a local tow to the shop only if the battery or the car is finished. Either way the price is quoted before anything moves, roughly 28 minutes from Linden.
Local towing at Holland Tunnel entrance
Holland Tunnel entrance is a regular pickup point for Jersey City local tows: a car that would not restart after a stop, or one that a property manager needs moved. Name the section, and the truck arrives from Linden in roughly 28 minutes with the right rigging.
Local towing at Jersey City Medical Center
Vehicles left at Jersey City Medical Center that will not start are a jump first and a local tow to the shop only if the battery or the car is finished. Either way the price is quoted before anything moves, roughly 28 minutes from Linden.
Hudson Mall and the Route 440 shopping strip: local towing response
Vehicles left at Hudson Mall and the Route 440 shopping strip that will not start are a jump first and a local tow to the shop only if the battery or the car is finished. Either way the price is quoted before anything moves, roughly 28 minutes from Linden.
Local towing at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations across the city with park-and-rides at Liberty State Park and West Side and Journal Square Transportation Center bus terminal
A car that dies in the lot at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations across the city with park-and-rides at Liberty State Park and West Side and Journal Square Transportation Center bus terminal usually gets a jump start first. When the battery will not hold, the commuter books a local tow for the next morning, the truck picks it up in the window they chose, and it is at the shop before they are back on the train.
Stuck at Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers 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 Jersey CityThe local tows Jersey City calls for most
The usual Jersey City local tows are driveway to mechanic, shop-to-shop transfers on Route 440, dealer trade-ins, cars bought online or at auction, vehicles with expired plates, abandoned vehicles on private property, and project cars moving between garage and shop.
The car that will not start at home in Jersey City
The car that will not start, or starts but should not be driven, from a Jersey City driveway to the shop of your choice. Usually inside the base mileage. Scheduled for the morning or dispatched now.
Trade-ins, auction cars and specialist transfers
Shops and dealers in Jersey City move cars between each other every week: a specialist referral, a trade-in going to the wholesaler, an auction purchase coming back. We schedule a window, call ahead, and put it all on one monthly invoice for account customers.
Cars bought online or at auction and delivered to Jersey City
You bought it, but it has no plates, no current inspection or no key, so it cannot legally roll to Jersey City. A flatbed picks it up at the seller or the auction and sets it in your driveway at a quoted rate. Anything more than about an hour out is long distance towing.
A car in Jersey City that cannot legally be driven
Not a mechanical problem, but a car that cannot legally be driven still has to move. A flatbed transport to the shop, the dealer or the inspection station keeps you off a ticket on Kennedy Boulevard.
Property-manager tows around Journal Square and Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers
A car that has sat for weeks in a lot near Journal Square can be moved once the owner or the property manager authorizes it. We schedule a window, take it where you direct, and hand over an itemized receipt.
Project cars between garage and shop
A car with no engine, no brakes or three wheels does not roll, so it is winched up the flatbed, on a dolly if a wheel is missing, and taken to the shop or back to your garage in Downtown / Paulus Hook. Say what is missing so the right gear comes.
Whatever stopped the car in Jersey City, one number sends the right truck or technician.
Call (908) 444-0129Local towing explainedLocal towing prices in Jersey City, NJ: what the number is made of and why you hear it before dispatch
A local tow in Jersey City costs a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to the destination, quoted on the call, with tows inside Jersey City and to neighboring towns usually within the base mileage and no fuel, night, holiday or passenger surcharges.
Hook fee plus mileage inside Jersey City
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time. Mileage is the distance from the pickup in Jersey City to the drop-off. A tow across Jersey City or to the next town usually stays inside the base mileage, so the quote is often the hook fee alone. The dispatcher gives you one total before the truck moves.
Why booking ahead in Jersey City costs the same
A scheduled local tow in Jersey City costs the same as an immediate one. There is no discount for waiting and no premium for now. The only thing that changes the price is the destination.
The fees you will not find on the receipt
The receipt for a Jersey City tow has the hook fee, the mileage and nothing else: no fuel line, no night or holiday line, no ride-along fee, no charge for skates or a dolly, and no storage since the car goes straight to your destination. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash; fleets get net terms.
Why there is no price list for Jersey City on the website
A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at Journal Square and the car on the shoulder of Kennedy Boulevard are different jobs, and so are a compact and a full-size SUV, and so are a drop across town and one across Hudson 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 local towing in Jersey City. There is no charge for asking.

Local towing is dispatched to every part of Jersey City, including Journal Square, The Heights, Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette, West Side, McGinley Square, Liberty Harbor, Society Hill, Downtown / Paulus Hook and Newport, at the same flat quoted price.
Downtown and Newport are almost all building garages and municipal decks with clearance under seven feet, so the car is dollied or driven to the ground level and loaded outside; dispatch asks the building name and level every time. The rest of the city is alternate-side street parking where cars sit boxed in nose-to-tail. Say the Jersey City neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Local towing in Journal Square
Calls from Journal Square are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Jersey City. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Journal Square and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Local towing in The Heights
The Heights gets the same response as the rest of Jersey City: a dispatcher who quotes local towing on the call, a truck from Linden in roughly 28 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in The Heights and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Local towing in Greenville

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for local towing in Jersey City: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 440
Roughly 292,000 people live in Jersey City, and local towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Journal Square, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 440.
The second-largest city in the state and the densest place we tow: high-rise garages on the Downtown and Newport waterfront, the Holland Tunnel approach, Journal Square's transit hub, and mile after mile of rowhouse blocks with alternate-side parking in the Heights, Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette and the West Side. Every call starts with the question of where the car actually is: on the street, in a deck, or in a building garage. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Commuters in Jersey City and the lot at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport
Commuters make up most of the local towing calls we get from Jersey City, and PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport 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.
Jersey City households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
The city 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 Journal Square
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Journal Square cannot sit for a day. A small business in Jersey City gets the same dispatcher and the same flat quote, plus an itemized receipt that works for the books. Larger trucks are a heavy-duty job in Jersey City, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Passing through Jersey City on Route 440 when the car quit
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Jersey City have never heard of it; they were on Route 440 heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C, and the truck finds you. The car can go to a shop here, to your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area, quoted as one number.
It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Jersey City dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Local towing explainedLocal towing in Jersey City through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 440
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of local towing call from Jersey City: 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. Downtown, Liberty Harbor and the low streets near the Hackensack flood in every major storm; the Skyway and tunnel approaches ice.
Ask a dispatcher what Jersey City sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport in January, bent wheels off Kennedy Boulevard in April, overheated cars on Route 440 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from local towing in each season in this corner of Hudson County.
Local towing in Jersey City in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
Winter local tows are cars that will not start after a cold snap, moved to the shop on the first business morning. The lot at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport empties late on winter evenings, and the cars left behind are ours to jump or tow. Say whether the car is behind a plow ridge, on a sloped driveway or on the shoulder of Route 440; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Spring local towing in Jersey City after the thaw
Spring local tows are inspection failures and pothole casualties headed to a tire or alignment shop. The spring calls cluster around Journal Square and along Route 440, where the traffic is heaviest and the pavement breaks first; if the steering wheel sits off-center after a hit, the car rides the flatbed to an alignment shop rather than chewing up a new tire on the way.
Local towing in Jersey City in July and August
Summer local tows are air-conditioning and cooling-system failures, plus the annual crop of dealer trade-ins. Summer in Jersey City also fills the lots at Journal Square, 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 local towing in Jersey City: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall is when project cars and second cars are moved into garages and storage before the salt arrives. Wet leaves on the ramps off Route 440 are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Jersey City, not a tow, and is priced that way.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Jersey City. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Call nowHudson County towingQuestions Jersey City drivers ask about local towing before they call
Arrival time to Jersey City, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
How is a local tow in Jersey City priced?
A flat hook fee plus mileage to the destination, quoted on the call. A tow inside Jersey City or to the next town usually stays inside the base mileage. Ask for the price before you commit; calling obligates you to nothing.
Can the truck come at a set time in Jersey City?
Yes. Scheduled tows get a window you choose, same day or next day, and the driver calls before he arrives. Shops and dealers on Route 440 book the night before.
How long is the wait for a tow in Jersey City right now?
Roughly 28 minutes from our Linden yard on a normal day. The dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
The car still drives. Should I tow it anyway?
We do, and the tow is often cheaper than the miles. A red gauge, a flashing check-engine light or a growling wheel bearing gets worse on the way to the shop. Describe it and you get a straight answer, even if the answer is "drive it".
Can you tow a car with no plates or expired registration from Jersey City?
We can, with the title or registration in your name. A flatbed takes it wherever it needs to go in or near Jersey City and you avoid the ticket.
Do you tow to shops outside Jersey City?
Yes. The mileage rate covers any shop in the area; the next town over is usually still inside the base mileage. Runs of more than about an hour are quoted as long distance towing: /long-distance-towing-jersey-city-nj.
I bought a car at auction. Can you bring it home?
Yes. The seller's or the auction's address and your Jersey City driveway make the quote, and the car arrives on a flatbed, plates or no plates.
A car has been sitting in my Jersey City lot for weeks. Can you tow it?
We do, with authorization from the property owner or manager. The tow is booked for a window, priced at the flat rate and documented on a receipt.
Is a flatbed required for a local tow in Jersey City?
AWD, EV, low and non-rolling cars need the flatbed; an ordinary front-wheel-drive car that rolls can ride the wheel-lift and save a little. The dispatcher decides from the make and model and tells you.
Do you offer accounts for Jersey City shops and dealers?
We do. An account means a direct line, destinations on file, one itemized invoice a month and net terms once the relationship is established.
