Motorcycle towing near you in Jersey City: what you get when you call our Linden dispatch
When we tow a motorcycle in Jersey City, it goes up a flatbed into a locking chock, gets soft loops at the triple tree and frame, has its forks compressed evenly and rides upright; no sling, no side-loading, a truck roughly 28 minutes from Linden, and one flat price quoted first.
The wrong truck can do more damage to a motorcycle in ten minutes than a season on Route 440. That is why our flatbeds carry a bolted wheel chock, soft loops for the triple tree and frame, and drivers who compress both forks the same amount so the bike is pinned, not balanced. From a Downtown / Paulus Hook garage to a shoulder on Kennedy Boulevard, a city of 292,000 keeps a fair number of bikes, and the truck is roughly 28 minutes from Linden for all of them.
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. Tell the dispatcher the bike and where it is sitting; the driver sets up the chock and the straps before he arrives so the load takes minutes.
The right way to strap a motorcycle in Jersey City
Four things keep a motorcycle safe on a flatbed: a locking chock that holds the front wheel upright, soft loops that sit between the strap and the bike, forks compressed evenly so it cannot rock, and a rear tie-down so it cannot walk. Skip any one and the bike shifts on the first pothole on Kennedy Boulevard. We skip none of them, which is why Jersey City riders get their bikes back the way they handed them over.
Motorcycle breakdowns on Route 440 and around Journal Square
Most of the motorcycle calls from Jersey City come from three places: the shoulders of Route 440 and Kennedy Boulevard, where a flat or a chain problem strands a rider in traffic; garages in Downtown / Paulus Hook and Newport, where a bike that sat all winter will not crank; and the lots around Journal Square, where a bike got dropped or would not start. The driver stops with the amber bar on and walks the bike to the deck.
Crash recovery for motorcycles in Jersey City
After a fall the bike may have a bent wheel, a broken lever and fuel or oil on the ground, and it still has to reach a shop. The driver stands it up, drains what is leaking, straps it so the damage does not spread, and photographs it for the claim. When police are working a crash on Route 440 or Kennedy Boulevard, say so; we coordinate with them on where the truck stops.
Bikes with no key, a locked steering head or no battery
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. A locked steering head or a seized wheel means a dolly goes under the front tire and the bike is winched up. A missing key is no problem with proof of ownership. A project bike short a wheel is strapped by the frame instead of the chock. Tell the dispatcher where in Jersey City it is and what is missing.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in Jersey CityA Jersey City bike tow from the first call to the unload
Say where in Jersey City the bike is, what it is and whether it moves; you get one quoted price and the chock-equipped flatbed is dispatched; the bike goes up the deck upright, is chocked and soft-strapped, and comes off the same way at the shop.
Step one: the spot, from Route 440 to a Downtown / Paulus Hook garage
The road and direction if you are on Route 440, the address or the lot if you are not. The bike can usually be walked to the truck, so say where it is and where the truck can stop safely.
Step two: sport, cruiser, dirt or scooter, and does it roll
The dispatcher needs the make and model, the type of bike, whether it rolls and steers, whether you have the key, and, if it went down, what is leaking. From that the driver sets the chock width, picks the strap points and decides whether a dolly rides along to Jersey City.
Step three: the flat quote
You hear the hook fee and the mileage to the destination as a single figure, whether the bike is going to a shop on Route 440 or home to Downtown / Paulus Hook. The quote is free and you can hang up.
Step four: chock, soft loops, forks compressed evenly
Up the lowered deck, walked or winched, and into the chock, which locks the front wheel upright. Soft loops go over the triple tree and around the frame; the ratchets are tightened a little at a time on each side so the forks compress evenly; a rear strap keeps the bike from creeping. The driver rechecks everything before pulling out of Jersey City and at the first stop.
Step five: delivery and receipt
The unload is the load in reverse: chock released, bike walked down upright. You pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash and get a receipt listing where in Jersey City the bike was collected, where it went and the mileage. If it was a crash, the pickup photos go with the claim.
Have the road, the cross street and the make and model ready. That is all the dispatcher needs to quote motorcycle towing in Jersey City.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of a motorcycle towing call in Jersey City: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 28 minutes for the truck to reach Jersey City from Linden, and fifteen to twenty minutes of loading before the car is strapped down and headed to the address you gave.
Most people in Jersey City call for motorcycle 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 the car is in the lot at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport, say which level or section; the driver goes straight to it instead of circling.
Minutes one to three: one number, then a truck is assigned
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 Route 440. You pay nothing until the job is finished.
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
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 Journal Square 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
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. Everything else we do 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 readyMotorcycle towing on NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440, Kennedy Boulevard and Route 1 & 9 Truck (Tonnele Avenue): the roads we run to reach Jersey City
NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440 and Kennedy Boulevard carry our trucks from Linden into Jersey City, with NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C, Route 440 exits and Holland Tunnel approach as the ramps we use, and we answer motorcycle 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.
These are the roads a Jersey City call for motorcycle 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.
A breakdown on NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension by Jersey City: who works the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
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: motorcycle towing response in Jersey City
The west-side highway past the shopping centers and Society Hill; fast with narrow shoulders. A bike down on Route 440 is walked to the truck if it rolls and dollied if it does not; the driver shields the shoulder with the amber bar first.
Motorcycle towing on Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City
The north-south spine through Journal Square and Greenville; double-parked and slow. On Kennedy Boulevard say the direction and the nearest exit or cross street so the truck reaches you on the correct side.
Route 1 & 9 Truck (Tonnele Avenue): motorcycle towing response in Jersey City
The heavy-truck corridor through the north end toward the Pulaski Skyway; medium-duty breakdowns. Riders on Route 1 & 9 Truck (Tonnele Avenue) call for flats, dead batteries and chain problems; each is a flatbed with the chock, quoted flat before the truck leaves Linden.
Pulaski Skyway (Route 1 & 9): motorcycle towing response in Jersey City
No shoulders at all; a breakdown here is a lane closure and a police-coordinated recovery. After a fall on Pulaski Skyway (Route 1 & 9), get off the road first, then call; we right the bike, drain what leaks and strap it for the shop.
Communipaw Avenue / Grand Street / Newark Avenue through Jersey City: motorcycle towing on the road and off it
The downtown and Bergen-Lafayette spines; deliveries, double-parking, tight loads. A bike down on Communipaw Avenue / Grand Street / Newark Avenue is walked to the truck if it rolls and dollied if it does not; the driver shields the shoulder with the amber bar first.
Marin Boulevard / Washington Boulevard through Jersey City: motorcycle towing on the road and off it
The waterfront tower district; every building has a garage. On Marin Boulevard / Washington Boulevard say the direction and the nearest exit or cross street so the truck reaches you on the correct side.
Jersey City by exit number
For Jersey City the ramps to know are NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C, Route 440 exits and Holland Tunnel approach. 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.
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 CityJersey City Medical Center, Hudson Mall and the Route 440 shopping strip and St. Peter's University and New Jersey City University and PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport: the Jersey City spots that call for motorcycle towing most
The common Jersey City pickup points for motorcycle towing are Jersey City Medical Center, Hudson Mall and the Route 440 shopping strip, St. Peter's University and New Jersey City University, Journal Square and Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers 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.
Jersey City Medical Center: motorcycle towing response
A motorcycle in a garage or lot at Jersey City Medical Center can be walked to the entrance and loaded outside if the deck clearance is low. Tell the dispatcher the level.
Motorcycle towing when the car stops at Hudson Mall and the Route 440 shopping strip
A motorcycle in a garage or lot at Hudson Mall and the Route 440 shopping strip can be walked to the entrance and loaded outside if the deck clearance is low. Tell the dispatcher the level.
St. Peter's University and New Jersey City University: motorcycle towing response
A motorcycle in a garage or lot at St. Peter's University and New Jersey City University can be walked to the entrance and loaded outside if the deck clearance is low. Tell the dispatcher the level.
Journal Square: motorcycle towing response
Journal Square sends us dropped bikes and bikes that would not restart after a stop. Name the row or the entrance; the flatbed is roughly 28 minutes from Linden and the bike is walked to wherever the deck can come down.
Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers: motorcycle towing response
A motorcycle in a garage or lot at Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers can be walked to the entrance and loaded outside if the deck clearance is low. Tell the dispatcher the level.
Exchange Place and the Downtown waterfront: motorcycle towing response
A motorcycle in a garage or lot at Exchange Place and the Downtown waterfront can be walked to the entrance and loaded outside if the deck clearance is low. Tell the dispatcher the level.
Motorcycle 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
Commuters who ride to 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 call us at dusk with a bike that will not turn over. The technician attempts a jump at the bike; when that is not enough, the flatbed with the chock is sent on the same call and the bike rides upright to the shop.
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 Jersey CityEvery kind of bike, every kind of call in Jersey City
The bikes we move in Jersey City range from superbikes to scooters, cruisers to adventure bikes, and the calls come from the shoulder of Route 440, the lots at Journal Square, and garages in Downtown / Paulus Hook holding a project that has not run in years.
Fairings, clip-ons and low pegs: sport bikes from Jersey City
Sport bikes off Route 440 are the ones most likely to be scratched by a careless load. Ours are chocked at the front wheel and strapped through soft loops at the triple tree and subframe, never over a fairing, and pinned with even fork compression for the ride to the shop.
Heavy bikes with bags out of Jersey City
A loaded touring bike weighs as much as a small car's engine and has bags exactly where a careless strap would go. The wide chock takes it, the winch helps it up the deck if needed, and every strap goes to the frame, not the luggage, for the ride out of Jersey City.
Long forks and tall bikes from Jersey City
Tall forks compress a long way; even pressure on both sides keeps the bike from leaning. Bikes coming off trails outside Jersey City with a bent rim or a dead engine ride the same way.
Small bikes, same chock, same care in Jersey City
A scooter is light enough to walk anywhere and light enough that a bad strap-down tips it on the first turn out of Jersey City. It gets the chock and the soft loops like any full-size bike.
Crashes and drops near Journal Square and on Kennedy Boulevard
A dropped bike has bent bars, a broken lever and fuel on the ground. The driver rights it, drains it, secures it so the damage stays where it is, and takes the photos your insurer will ask for, right there on Route 440.
Bikes that cannot roll from a Downtown / Paulus Hook garage
No key, no problem with the title in hand. No steering, the dolly handles it. No front wheel, the frame takes the straps instead of the chock. Project bikes in Jersey City move to the shop and back at the same flat rate.
However the car ended up stopped in Jersey City, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedWhat motorcycle towing costs in Jersey City, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
Motorcycle towing in Jersey City is priced as a hook fee plus mileage to the shop or your garage, quoted before the truck leaves; the chock, soft loops and dolly are part of the job, and nothing is added for nights, weekends, holidays or fuel.
The two numbers in a Jersey City bike quote
Two numbers, one total: the hook fee and the mileage from where the bike is in Jersey City to where it is going. The chock, the soft loops and the dolly are part of the job, not extras.
Same price at noon and at 2 a.m. in Jersey City
A bike picked up on Route 440 at midnight costs the same as one picked up at noon. There is no after-hours line, no holiday line, no fuel line and no charge for the chock or the dolly.
How a Jersey City bike tow is paid and claimed
The driver takes any card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. The receipt shows where in Jersey City the bike was collected, where it went and the mileage; add the photos from the pickup on Route 440 and the insurer has everything it needs.
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.
Get the exact price for motorcycle towing in Jersey City in thirty seconds. Asking is free.

Journal Square, The Heights, Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette, West Side, McGinley Square, Liberty Harbor, Society Hill, Downtown / Paulus Hook and Newport: every section of Jersey City gets motorcycle towing 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.
Journal Square, Jersey City: motorcycle towing response
In Journal Square the approach depends on the street: a Journal Square driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Journal Square. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Journal Square as everywhere in Jersey City.
The Heights: what motorcycle towing looks like here
Calls from The Heights are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Jersey City. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in The Heights and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Greenville, Jersey City: motorcycle towing response
In Greenville the approach depends on the street: a Greenville driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Greenville. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Greenville as everywhere in Jersey City.
Bergen-Lafayette: what motorcycle towing looks like here
Bergen-Lafayette gets the same response as the rest of Jersey City: a dispatcher who quotes motorcycle 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 Bergen-Lafayette and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
West Side: what motorcycle towing looks like here
Calls from West Side are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Jersey City. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in West Side and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
McGinley Square: what motorcycle towing looks like here
Calls from McGinley Square are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Jersey City. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in McGinley Square and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Journal Square or the far side of Jersey City: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch for motorcycle towing.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchMotorcycle towing for every kind of Jersey City driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 440
Motorcycle towing in Jersey City serves roughly 292,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport, families in the residential streets, businesses near Journal Square, and drivers who only know Jersey City as an exit 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.
Jersey City commuters, from the platform at PATH at Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport to the driveway
A Jersey City commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Route 440 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.
Families in the residential streets of Jersey City
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. 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. 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.
Jersey City businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Around Journal Square and Newport Centre mall and the Newport towers 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 Jersey City 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 Jersey City: breakdowns on Route 440 on the way somewhere else
Half of the motorcycle towing calls from Jersey City are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Route 440 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.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 440: everyone in Jersey City calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedHow the season changes motorcycle towing in Jersey City: what breaks on Route 440 and Kennedy Boulevard in January, April, July and October
Motorcycle towing in Jersey City 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. Downtown, Liberty Harbor and the low streets near the Hackensack flood in every major storm; the Skyway and tunnel approaches ice.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Jersey City 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 motorcycle towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Motorcycle towing in Jersey City in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
Winter motorcycle calls are storage moves and the occasional bike that would not start on the first warm day. The first storm of the year is the busiest night in Jersey City; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 440 has a car on it.
March and April in Jersey City: potholes, bent wheels and inspection failures
The first warm weekend brings dead batteries, flat tires from sitting and bikes dropped in the driveway; each one rides chocked and strapped. After a hard pothole hit in Jersey City, 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.
Summer motorcycle towing in Jersey City: heat, traffic and holiday weekends
Summer is ride season; breakdowns on the way to the shore or the hills are picked up wherever the bike stopped. Holiday weekends load Route 440 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Fall motorcycle towing in Jersey City: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall means wet leaves, cold tires and the last rides of the year; a dropped bike is loaded with the fairings protected. 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.
The seasons change the calls from Jersey City, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowHudson County towingQuestions Jersey City drivers ask about motorcycle towing before they call
The questions below cover arrival time in Jersey City, the price of motorcycle towing, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
Do you have a wheel chock on the truck for a Jersey City pickup?
Always. A bike from Jersey City goes into a locking chock with soft loops at the frame, no exceptions. Give the dispatcher the bike so the setup is done before the truck reaches Downtown / Paulus Hook.
How fast can you reach a bike in Jersey City?
The flatbed is roughly 28 minutes from Linden, coming in by NJ Turnpike Exits 14A, 14B, 14C. Give the road, your direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
How do you keep straps off the bodywork?
No. The ratchets pull on soft loops at the triple tree and frame, never on paint or plastic, and the forks are compressed evenly so nothing shifts on the ride out of Jersey City.
Can you pick up a bike from a garage or lot at Journal Square?
Of course. The bike rolls to wherever the deck can come down, which at Journal Square usually means the entrance or the open lot. Say which level it is on.
Can you move a motorcycle with a locked steering head?
Yes, with proof of ownership. A locked steering head goes on a dolly under the front wheel.
After a fall on Route 440, what happens next?
Get yourself off the road first. Then call (908) 444-0129; the driver rights the bike, drains whatever is leaking, straps it so nothing else is damaged and photographs it for the claim before leaving Jersey City.
Is a scooter too small for your truck?
We do, and we load them with the same care. The chock takes the front wheel and soft loops take the straps, whether the scooter is in Downtown / Paulus Hook or at Journal Square.
How much is a motorcycle tow in Jersey City?
The same way as a car: a hook fee and a per-mile rate to the destination, quoted first. The bike equipment is never an extra line, and a midnight pickup on Route 440 costs the same as noon.
Can you take the bike to a track or a shop far away?
Yes, at the per-mile rate. Long runs to a specialist or a track are long distance towing: /long-distance-towing-jersey-city-nj.
My bike will not start after the winter. Tow or jump?
Try the jump first. A technician comes to the garage in Jersey City; if the battery is dead or the bike needs a shop anyway, the chock-equipped flatbed is sent from the same call. See /jump-start-jersey-city-nj.
