Local towing in Newark, NJ: flat-rate tows to the shop, the dealer or your driveway, 15 minutes from Linden
A short, honest tow at a flat quoted price. Shop transfers on Routes 1 & 9, dealer drops, driveway pickups and the Newark car that just needs to get across town. Scheduled for the window you choose or dispatched now, about 15 minutes from Linden.
Why Newark drivers call us for local towing before anyone else
Local towing in Newark is a hook fee plus a per-mile rate to any destination in or near town, quoted on the call, available as a scheduled pickup or an immediate dispatch from Linden about 15 minutes away, with no fuel, night or passenger surcharges.
Repair shops and dealers along Routes 1 & 9 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 Newark in about 15 minutes.
The largest city in the state and the one with the most ways to break down: airport and port traffic on the east side, dense street parking and parking decks downtown and in the Ironbound, and residential wards on the hills to the west and south. Fleet vans, delivery trucks, rideshares and commuter cars all share the same streets with tractor-trailers headed for Port Newark. Those are the streets and the cars the driver has in mind when he chooses between a wheel-lift and a flatbed for a Newark pickup.
Hook plus mileage, and nothing added later in Newark
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 Ironbound to a shop on Routes 1 & 9 almost always stays inside the base mileage, which means the hook fee is the whole bill. The homepage explains how towing prices work.
Next-morning pickups for Routes 1 & 9 shops and Newark dealers
Scheduled work is half of what we do in Newark: customer pickups for the shops on Routes 1 & 9, cross-shop transfers, dealer trade-ins and auction runs, and abandoned vehicles for the properties around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots. Pick a same-day or next-day window, get a call when the driver is close, and pay the same flat rate. Use contact or (908) 444-0129.
When a short drive to the shop costs more than the tow
The car still moves, so the temptation is to drive it. But a transmission that slips, a gauge in the red, a bearing that growls or a flashing check-engine light can turn a few miles down Routes 1 & 9 into a rebuilt engine. The tow is cheaper than the damage. Tell the dispatcher the symptom; if it is genuinely safe to drive to a shop in Newark, he will say so and you owe nothing.
Wheel-lift or flatbed for a pickup in Ironbound
Street parking everywhere, parking decks downtown and around Penn Station, open surface lots at the airport and the port. Decks under seven feet keep flatbeds out, so we dolly to the entrance, and double-parked blocks in the Ironbound slow the approach. Where the car sits matters as much as what it is. Tight curbs and short driveways favor a wheel-lift; AWD, EV and low cars must ride a flatbed, which wants clear space behind the car for the deck. Give the dispatcher the spot and whether the car rolls, and the driver arrives rigged for it.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in NewarkWhat happens when you call for a local tow in Newark
You give the dispatcher the pickup in Newark, the destination, the vehicle and whether it rolls; the dispatcher quotes hook plus mileage; you pick immediate or a scheduled window; the driver calls before he arrives and delivers the car with an itemized receipt.
Step one: pickup and destination in or near Newark
The address or cross streets where the car is, and the address where it is going: a shop on Routes 1 & 9, a dealer, your driveway, a friend's garage. The two addresses set the mileage. If the car is at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots or in a lot, say the section.
Step two: what the car is and what it can still do
Year, make and model, and whether it is AWD, electric or lowered. Whether it starts, rolls and steers. A car that rolls loads in two minutes on either truck; a car that does not is winched onto a flatbed. A car with no key or locked steering goes on a dolly.
Step three: one total before you commit
You hear the hook fee and the mileage as one number and decide from there. Runs inside Newark or to a bordering town rarely exceed the base mileage. Getting the quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Step four: now or a scheduled window
Say now and the truck rolls out of Linden immediately, about 15 minutes from Newark. Say later and you pick a same-day or next-day window with a call from the driver before he arrives. The shops along Routes 1 & 9 usually book the evening before for a first-thing pickup.
Step five: pickup, drop-off, receipt
Loading takes minutes; a passenger rides along on most tows. At a closed shop the car goes in the lot and the key in the box. The itemized receipt shows the pickup in Ironbound or wherever the car was, the drop-off and the mileage, and any card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash settles it.
The road, the nearest cross street and the make and model: with those three things the dispatcher quotes local towing in Newark on the spot.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of a local towing call in Newark: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 15 minutes for the truck to reach Newark 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 Newark 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 Newark
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 Exit 13A, or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and where it should go. If you are on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9, 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 Newark, what it is and where it is going) are enough for one exact number. For a tow that number is the hook fee plus mileage to your address, and it does not move when the driver arrives. Say yes and a truck is assigned while you are on the line, with an arrival window built from its real position rather than a promise. No card is charged until the work is done.
While the truck is on its way to Newark
From Linden the truck runs NJ Turnpike and Routes 1 & 9 and takes NJ Turnpike Exit 13A into Newark, about 15 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.
Loading the car in Newark: what the fifteen to twenty minutes look like
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 city driveway, a curb, a lot at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots 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 the car needs a second move later, from the shop to home, say, the same dispatch line quotes it as a local tow in Newark. For the full picture of towing in Newark, see all towing in Newark.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in Newark in about 15 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyLocal towing on NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9, I-78 and I-280: the roads we run to reach Newark
Our route from Linden to Newark runs NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and I-78, coming off at NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14, NJ Turnpike Exit 14A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14B, NJ Turnpike Exit 14C and Garden State Parkway Exit 145, 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.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Newark by its roads: NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and I-78 and the streets between them. Each note below is the one our drivers use. On a local towing call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
NJ Turnpike at Newark: the Authority's garage first, then local towing from us
Exits 13A, 14, 14A, 14B and 14C serve the airport, the port and downtown; the shoulders near the Exit 14 interchange are the busiest breakdown spots in the city. 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.
Local towing on Routes 1 & 9 in Newark
Runs from the Elizabeth line past the airport to the Pulaski Skyway approach; narrow shoulders, heavy truck traffic, constant tire and rear-end calls. Scheduled pickups along Routes 1 & 9 are booked for a window you choose, and the driver calls before he arrives.
I-78 through Newark: local towing on the road and off it
Cuts through the south side toward the Turnpike and Newark Bay; the express and local split near Hillside catches people out. On I-78, say the direction and the nearest cross street or business so the driver stops on the right side.
Local towing on I-280 in Newark
Runs west from the Turnpike through downtown toward the Oranges; steep on-ramps and stop-and-go at rush hour. A car that limped onto I-280 with a slipping transmission or a red light should stop there; the tow to the shop costs less than the next mile.
Route 21 (McCarter Highway) through Newark: local towing on the road and off it
The north-south spine along the Passaic River past Penn Station and Broad Street; tight lanes and few places to pull over. On Route 21 (McCarter Highway), say the direction and the nearest cross street or business so the driver stops on the right side.
Broad Street / Market Street: local towing response in Newark
Downtown's main streets; double-parking, decks and one-way blocks change how the truck approaches. On Broad Street / Market Street, say the direction and the nearest cross street or business so the driver stops on the right side.
Local towing on Ferry Street in Newark
The Ironbound's commercial strip; tight street parking, lockouts and dead batteries at the restaurants and shops. Many Newark local tows end at the shops and dealers on Ferry Street; a tow there from anywhere in town usually stays inside the base mileage.
The exits our trucks take for Newark
For Newark the ramps to know are NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14, NJ Turnpike Exit 14A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14B, NJ Turnpike Exit 14C and Garden State Parkway Exit 145. On the highway itself, the exit number and your direction are the first things the dispatcher needs. Where the Turnpike or Parkway express lanes offer no exit, the Authority's garage clears the shoulder and our truck picks the car up at the ramp.
If you are on the side of Routes 1 & 9 or any road near Newark: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in NewarkWhere we provide local towing in Newark: Rutgers–Newark and NJIT, University Hospital and Branch Brook Park and the lots at Newark Penn Station
The common Newark pickup points for local towing are Rutgers–Newark and NJIT, University Hospital, Branch Brook Park, Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street and Newark Museum and the downtown arts district and Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 15 minutes.
Local towing at Rutgers–Newark and NJIT
Rutgers–Newark and NJIT is a regular pickup point for Newark 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 about 15 minutes with the right rigging.
Local towing when the car stops at University Hospital
Vehicles left at University Hospital 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, about 15 minutes from Linden.
Branch Brook Park: local towing response
Branch Brook Park is a regular pickup point for Newark 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 about 15 minutes with the right rigging.
Local towing when the car stops at Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street
Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street is a regular pickup point for Newark 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 about 15 minutes with the right rigging.
Newark Museum and the downtown arts district: local towing response
A local tow from Newark Museum and the downtown arts district is quoted on the lot and the destination. Say the row or the entrance; the driver knows where a truck can stop. Cars boxed in are moved on skates first.
Local towing at Weequahic Park
Weequahic Park is a regular pickup point for Newark 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 about 15 minutes with the right rigging.
Local towing at Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue
The lots at Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue produce a steady run of scheduled local tows: the car would not start at 6 p.m., the jump showed a dead battery, and the owner wants it at the shop by nine. We quote the tow on the same call and deliver it in the window you pick.
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 NewarkThe local tows Newark calls for most
The usual Newark local tows are driveway to mechanic, shop-to-shop transfers on Routes 1 & 9, 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.
From an Ironbound driveway to the shop
The car that will not start, or starts but should not be driven, from a Newark 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 Newark 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 Newark
You bought it, but it has no plates, no current inspection or no key, so it cannot legally roll to Newark. 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 Newark 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 I-78.
Property-manager tows around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots and Port Newark and the container terminals
With the owner's or property manager's authorization, we move abandoned and inoperable vehicles from lots and driveways to the destination you specify. Scheduled window, flat rate, receipt.
Getting a Newark project car to the shop and back
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 Ironbound. Say what is missing so the right gear comes.
However the car ended up stopped in Newark, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Local towing explainedLocal towing prices in Newark, NJ: what the number is made of and why you hear it before dispatch
Local towing in Newark is priced as a hook fee plus mileage, quoted before the truck moves; most runs inside town or to the next town stay within the base mileage, and there are never fuel, after-hours, holiday or ride-along charges.
Hook fee plus mileage inside Newark
Two numbers, one total: the hook fee and the mileage from where the car is in Newark to where it is going. Short runs stay inside the base mileage. You hear the price, then decide.
Scheduled versus immediate: same price
Booking a window for tomorrow and asking for the truck right now cost exactly the same in Newark. The rate is not lower for patience or higher for urgency; only the destination moves it.
The fees you will not find on the receipt
Things we never bill: fuel, after-hours, holidays, a passenger, the skates or the dolly, and storage, because the car is delivered rather than kept. The driver takes cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash at the drop-off, fleet accounts are invoiced on net terms, and every Newark tow gets an itemized receipt.
Why the Newark price is quoted on the phone, not printed here
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 Newark.
Want the number for local towing in Newark before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadLocal towing in every Newark neighborhood: Dayton, South Ironbound, Lower Broadway and Ironbound and more
Dayton, South Ironbound, Lower Broadway, Ironbound, Downtown, North Ward / Forest Hill, Roseville, Vailsburg, Weequahic, Central Ward and University Heights: every section of Newark gets local towing at the same flat quoted price.
Street parking everywhere, parking decks downtown and around Penn Station, open surface lots at the airport and the port. Decks under seven feet keep flatbeds out, so we dolly to the entrance, and double-parked blocks in the Ironbound slow the approach. Say the Newark neighborhood and the cross street; it is faster than a house number on a long block.
Local towing in Dayton
Calls from Dayton are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Newark. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Dayton and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Local towing in South Ironbound
Calls from South Ironbound are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Newark. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in South Ironbound and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Lower Broadway: what local towing looks like here
Calls from Lower Broadway are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Newark. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Lower Broadway and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Local towing in Ironbound
Ironbound gets the same response as the rest of Newark: a dispatcher who quotes local towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Ironbound and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Downtown, Newark: local towing response
In Downtown the approach depends on the street: a Downtown driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Downtown. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Downtown as everywhere in Newark.
North Ward / Forest Hill, Newark: local towing response
In North Ward / Forest Hill the approach depends on the street: a North Ward / Forest Hill driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to North Ward / Forest Hill. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in North Ward / Forest Hill as everywhere in Newark.
No neighborhood in Newark is priced differently or answered slower for local towing; the number and the dispatch are the same everywhere.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for local towing in Newark: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Routes 1 & 9
Local towing in Newark serves roughly 305,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Newark Penn Station, families in the residential streets, businesses near Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, and drivers who only know Newark as an exit on Routes 1 & 9.
The largest city in the state and the one with the most ways to break down: airport and port traffic on the east side, dense street parking and parking decks downtown and in the Ironbound, and residential wards on the hills to the west and south. Fleet vans, delivery trucks, rideshares and commuter cars all share the same streets with tractor-trailers headed for Port Newark. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
The commuter's car in Newark: Newark Penn Station and the roads to it
A Newark commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Routes 1 & 9 in the morning rush. We tow it to the shop you name or the driveway you left from, and tell you the price first. Most commuter calls are quoted and dispatched in under three minutes.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Newark
Family calls come from driveways and school lots: the minivan that will not start before pickup, the second car that sat too long, the teenager's first flat. Street parking everywhere, parking decks downtown and around Penn Station, open surface lots at the airport and the port. Decks under seven feet keep flatbeds out, so we dolly to the entrance, and double-parked blocks in the Ironbound slow the approach. The truck is set up for the driveway before it leaves Linden. Kids and pets ride with you in the cab, not in the towed car.
Businesses and fleets near Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots and Port Newark and the container terminals
Around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots and Port Newark and the container terminals 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 Newark is priced the same hook-plus-mileage way as anyone else's and lands at the shop you name; anything over a pickup's weight is a heavy-duty job. Fleet accounts get one invoice a month; ask the dispatcher.
Strangers to Newark: breakdowns on Routes 1 & 9 on the way somewhere else
Newark sits on Routes 1 & 9, 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 Newark, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Newark dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Local towing explainedLocal towing in Newark by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Local towing in Newark 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. The Ironbound and the streets near the Passaic River flood in heavy rain; the I-280 and Turnpike ramps ice before the local streets do.
The same trucks serve Newark in every month, but Routes 1 & 9 in January is a different road from Routes 1 & 9 in July. This is how the season changes the local towing calls we get from Newark, and how we prepare for each.
Local towing in Newark 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 Newark Penn Station 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 Routes 1 & 9; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Spring local towing in Newark after the thaw
Spring local tows are inspection failures and pothole casualties headed to a tire or alignment shop. After a hard pothole hit in Newark, 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.
Local towing in Newark in July and August
Summer local tows are air-conditioning and cooling-system failures, plus the annual crop of dealer trade-ins. Summer in Newark also fills the lots at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, 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 Newark: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall is when project cars and second cars are moved into garages and storage before the salt arrives. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Newark; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Newark.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Newark. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Call nowEssex County towingQuestions Newark drivers ask about local towing before they call
The questions below cover arrival time in Newark, the price of local towing, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How is a local tow in Newark priced?
A flat hook fee plus mileage to the destination, quoted on the call. A tow inside Newark 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 Newark?
Yes. Pick a same-day or next-day window and the driver phones when he is a few minutes from Newark. Most of the shops on Routes 1 & 9 book their morning pickups the evening before.
How long is the wait for a tow in Newark right now?
About 15 minutes from our Linden yard on a normal day. The dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
Is it worth a tow if the car runs?
Yes, and often you should. A slipping transmission, an overheating engine or a grinding bearing gets worse every mile. Describe the symptom and the dispatcher tells you honestly whether it is safe to drive.
Can you tow a car with no plates or expired registration from Newark?
We can, with the title or registration in your name. A flatbed takes it wherever it needs to go in or near Newark and you avoid the ticket.
Do you tow to shops outside Newark?
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-newark-nj.
I bought a car at auction. Can you bring it home?
Yes. The seller's or the auction's address and your Newark driveway make the quote, and the car arrives on a flatbed, plates or no plates.
Do you tow abandoned vehicles from private property?
Yes, once the owner or the property manager authorizes it in writing. We schedule a window, take it to the destination you name and hand you an itemized receipt.
Wheel-lift or flatbed for my car?
Only for AWD, electric, lowered and non-rolling cars. A front-wheel-drive car that rolls can ride a wheel-lift for slightly less. The dispatcher tells you which one is coming.
Do you offer accounts for Newark shops and dealers?
Yes. Shops and dealers on Routes 1 & 9 and across Newark get a direct dispatch line, their usual destinations saved, and a single monthly invoice itemized by vehicle with net terms after the first few jobs.
Question not here? The dispatcher answers it in one sentence and quotes the job in the next.
