Motorcycle towing in New Brunswick, NJ: chock, soft straps and a flatbed, 27 minutes from our Linden dispatch
A motorcycle strapped wrong is a motorcycle with a bent bar and a scratched tank. Ours ride New Brunswick to the shop the way they should: chocked, soft-strapped, forks compressed evenly, on a flatbed from Linden in roughly 27 minutes.

Motorcycle towing in New Brunswick, NJ: why drivers call The NJ Towing Service first, 27 minutes from Linden
Motorcycle towing in New Brunswick means the bike rides upright on a flatbed in a locking front-wheel chock with soft-loop straps and even fork compression, never a sling, dispatched from Linden in roughly 27 minutes at a flat quoted price.
A car-only tow company will put a bike on its side or hang it from a sling, and you will find the damage at the shop. We carry a locking front-wheel chock that holds the bike vertical, soft loops so straps never touch paint, and we compress the forks evenly so the bike cannot walk on the deck. Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in New Brunswick all load the same way, and the truck reaches you from Linden in roughly 27 minutes.
The county seat and Rutgers' main campus city: a dense downtown of hospitals, office towers, the theater district and student housing, parking decks on every block, and tight residential neighborhoods spreading out toward Route 1 and Route 18. Student cars, hospital staff commuters, delivery vans and a lot of cars in decks with low clearance. A motorcycle can be walked to wherever the flatbed can drop its deck, which makes a tight Downtown street less of a problem than it would be for a car.
The right way to strap a motorcycle in New Brunswick
The front wheel goes into a locking chock bolted to the deck. Soft loops go around the triple tree and the frame or subframe so the ratchet straps never touch paint or plastic. The forks are compressed evenly on both sides so the bike is pinned and cannot rock. A rear strap keeps it from walking. That is the whole setup, and it is why a bike from New Brunswick arrives at the shop with nothing marked.
Motorcycle breakdowns on Route 18 and around Rutgers College Avenue campus
Route 18 and Route 1 see plenty of riders, and a flat, a dead battery or a chain problem on the shoulder is a bad place to wait. We also get calls from garages and lots around Rutgers College Avenue campus where a bike has sat since fall and will not turn over, and from riders who dropped the bike on a wet patch. The truck stops with the amber bar running and the driver walks the bike to the deck.
Righting, draining and securing a downed bike on Route 18
A bike with a bent rim, a snapped lever or leaking fluid still needs to get to a shop or your garage. We right it, drain what needs draining, secure it so nothing else is damaged in transit, and photograph it at pickup for insurance. If police are on scene after a crash on Route 18, tell the dispatcher; we coordinate on the lane.
Non-running project bikes in New Brunswick
A bike that cannot roll or steer goes on a dolly under the front wheel and up the deck. No key is fine with proof of ownership. A project bike missing a wheel is strapped by the frame. Parking decks all over downtown and the hospitals, most with clearance under seven feet, so cars are dollied to the exit before a flatbed loads. Tight permit street parking in the neighborhoods. Say where the bike is and the driver comes with the right gear.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in New BrunswickWhat happens when you call for a motorcycle tow in New Brunswick
Say where in New Brunswick 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: where the bike is in New Brunswick
Give the direction and nearest cross street on Route 18, the level for a garage, the row for Rutgers College Avenue campus, or the address in Downtown. Because a bike can be rolled to the truck, the question is less where the bike is than where the flatbed can safely lower its deck.
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 New Brunswick.
Step three: one number before the truck leaves Linden
Hook fee plus mileage to the shop or your New Brunswick garage, one total, quoted before the truck leaves Linden. Asking costs nothing.
Step four: loaded upright, strapped at the frame
With the deck down, the bike rolls into the chock and stands on its own. Soft loops at the triple tree and frame take the ratchets, which are tightened alternately so the front end compresses the same on both sides. A rear strap finishes it. Before the truck leaves Downtown the driver checks the straps, and he checks them again after the first few miles on Route 18.
Step five: unloaded upright, paid at the bike
At the shop or your New Brunswick garage the bike comes down the deck standing, the receipt itemizes the pickup, the destination and the miles, and payment is by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. Crash photos are sent to you for the insurance claim.
Have the road, the cross street and the make and model ready. That is all the dispatcher needs to quote motorcycle towing in New Brunswick.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for motorcycle towing in New Brunswick: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
A motorcycle towing call from New Brunswick takes about three minutes on the phone, about 27 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 motorcycle towing in New Brunswick is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.
Minute zero: the call from New Brunswick
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 9, 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 New Brunswick, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
Minutes one to three: one number, then a truck is assigned
Three facts (where the car is in New Brunswick, 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 27 minutes on the road: Linden to New Brunswick
From Linden the truck runs Route 18 and Route 1 and takes NJ Turnpike Exit 9 into New Brunswick, roughly 27 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. Stay belted in the car if you are on a shoulder, hazards on, unless the car itself is in danger.
At the car in New Brunswick: photos, straps and the 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 Rutgers College Avenue campus or a parking deck each need a different angle, which is why the dispatcher asked where the car was. Then it is winched or driven up, strapped at all four wheels and photographed again. For an after-hours drop at a shop, the key goes wherever the shop asked. Riding along in the cab is usually fine; mention it on the call.
Afterward: the itemized receipt and the follow-up
An itemized receipt arrives by text or email showing the hook fee, the mileage and both addresses: exactly what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan wants to see. If a question comes up later, the same dispatch line answers it; there is no separate billing department to chase. Everything else we do in New Brunswick is on the New Brunswick towing page.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a truck in New Brunswick in about 27 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyMotorcycle towing on Route 18, Route 1, Route 27 (Albany Street / French Street) and George Street / Livingston Avenue: the roads we run to reach New Brunswick
From Linden we reach New Brunswick by Route 18, Route 1 and Route 27 (Albany Street / French Street), using NJ Turnpike Exit 9 and Route 18 exits at Albany Street, Route 27, Commercial Avenue and Route 1, and we provide motorcycle towing on every one 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 New Brunswick by its roads: Route 18, Route 1 and Route 27 (Albany Street / French Street) and the streets between them. Each note below is the one our drivers use. On a motorcycle towing call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
Route 18: motorcycle towing response in New Brunswick
The city's highway along the river; the Route 27, Albany Street and Commercial Avenue interchanges are constant crash and breakdown spots. A bike down on Route 18 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 Route 1 in New Brunswick
The southern edge with the Route 1 retail strip and the Route 18 interchange. A bike down on Route 1 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 Route 27 (Albany Street / French Street) in New Brunswick
Through downtown and the residential south side; double-parking and lockouts. On Route 27 (Albany Street / French Street) say the direction and the nearest exit or cross street so the truck reaches you on the correct side.
George Street / Livingston Avenue: motorcycle towing response in New Brunswick
Campus and downtown spines; slow, one-way stretches, constant deliveries. A bike down on George Street / Livingston 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.
Easton Avenue: motorcycle towing response in New Brunswick
The student strip to Somerset; tight curbside parking and dead batteries. A bike down on Easton 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.
NJ Turnpike at New Brunswick: the Authority's garage first, then motorcycle towing from us
Exit 9 is the city's Turnpike access via Route 18. 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.
The exits our trucks take for New Brunswick
Our drivers reach New Brunswick by NJ Turnpike Exit 9 and Route 18 exits at Albany Street, Route 27, Commercial Avenue and Route 1. On the highway itself, the exit number and your direction are the first things the dispatcher needs. On the express lanes of the Turnpike and Parkway, where there is no exit to reach, the Authority's garage brings the car off and we take over at the exit.

Call (908) 444-0129Every service in New BrunswickThe motorcycle tows New Brunswick riders ask for
The bikes we move in New Brunswick range from superbikes to scooters, cruisers to adventure bikes, and the calls come from the shoulder of Route 18, the lots at Rutgers College Avenue campus, and garages in Downtown holding a project that has not run in years.
Superbikes stranded on Route 18 and Route 1
A sport bike has plastic everywhere a strap might land. The loops go on the triple tree and the subframe, the chock takes the front wheel, and the forks are compressed the same on both sides. It rides upright from New Brunswick and comes off with the fairings untouched.
Heavy bikes with bags out of New Brunswick
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 New Brunswick.
Dirt bikes, dual-sports and adventure bikes
Dirt bikes and adventure bikes need patience on the straps: long-travel forks have to be compressed a little at a time on each side or the bike leans. Whether it broke on a trail outside New Brunswick or in a Downtown driveway, it rides upright and square.
Small bikes, same chock, same care in New Brunswick
Mopeds and small bikes from Downtown and around Rutgers College Avenue campus are loaded with the same chock and soft loops as a superbike, because the plastic on a scooter scratches just as easily.
Crashes and drops near Rutgers College Avenue campus and on Route 1
After a fall on Route 1 or in a lot near Rutgers College Avenue campus, the bike is stood up, drained of whatever is leaking, strapped without loading the bent parts, and photographed for the claim before it leaves New Brunswick.
Bikes that cannot roll from a Downtown garage
A dolly under the front wheel handles a locked steering head. Proof of ownership covers a bike with no key. Project bikes missing parts are strapped by the frame and delivered to the shop or back to your New Brunswick garage.
However the car ended up stopped in New Brunswick, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedHow much motorcycle towing costs in New Brunswick, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Motorcycle towing in New Brunswick 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.
What a motorcycle tow in New Brunswick costs
Two numbers, one total: the hook fee and the mileage from where the bike is in New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick
A bike picked up on Route 18 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 New Brunswick bike tow is paid and claimed
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site. The itemized receipt lists the New Brunswick pickup, the destination and the mileage; with the pickup photos it is what a motorcycle insurer needs to reimburse the tow after a fall.
The reason this page has no motorcycle towing price table for New Brunswick
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 New Brunswick.

Parking decks all over downtown and the hospitals, most with clearance under seven feet, so cars are dollied to the exit before a flatbed loads. Tight permit street parking in the neighborhoods. That is why the dispatcher asks which of New Brunswick's 7 sections the car is in before the truck leaves Linden.
Livingston Avenue section: what motorcycle towing looks like here
In Livingston Avenue section the approach depends on the street: a Livingston Avenue section driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Livingston Avenue section.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for motorcycle towing in New Brunswick: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 18
The motorcycle towing calls from New Brunswick come from a city of about 55,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at New Brunswick station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its decks, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Rutgers College Avenue campus, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 18.
The county seat and Rutgers' main campus city: a dense downtown of hospitals, office towers, the theater district and student housing, parking decks on every block, and tight residential neighborhoods spreading out toward Route 1 and Route 18. Student cars, hospital staff commuters, delivery vans and a lot of cars in decks with low clearance. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
New Brunswick commuters, from the platform at New Brunswick station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its decks to the driveway
The lot at New Brunswick station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its decks is where New Brunswick batteries die: a car sits ten hours, the lights were left on, and at 7 p.m. it is dark and cold. A tow to the shop from the lot or the driveway is quoted before the truck leaves; if a jump or a tire would do instead, the dispatcher says so. Commuters need one thing above all: a real arrival time, and they get one.
New Brunswick households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
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. Parking decks all over downtown and the hospitals, most with clearance under seven feet, so cars are dollied to the exit before a flatbed loads. Tight permit street parking in the neighborhoods. 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 Rutgers College Avenue campus and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick businesses.
Passing through New Brunswick on Route 18 when the car quit
Half of the motorcycle towing calls from New Brunswick are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Route 18 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 18: everyone in New Brunswick calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedMotorcycle towing in New Brunswick by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Motorcycle towing in New Brunswick 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. Route 18 and Boyd Park flood with the Raritan; the Albany Street bridge approach ices.
Ask a dispatcher what New Brunswick sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at New Brunswick station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its decks in January, bent wheels off Route 1 in April, overheated cars on Route 18 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from motorcycle towing in each season in this corner of Middlesex County.
Motorcycle towing in New Brunswick 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. In New Brunswick the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
Spring motorcycle towing in New Brunswick after the thaw
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 New Brunswick, 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 New Brunswick: 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. Summer in New Brunswick also fills the lots at Rutgers College Avenue campus, 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.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in New Brunswick
Fall means wet leaves, cold tires and the last rides of the year; a dropped bike is loaded with the fairings protected. Deer cross Route 1 and the quieter roads of New Brunswick around Downtown at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in New Brunswick with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
The seasons change the calls from New Brunswick, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingMotorcycle towing in New Brunswick: the questions drivers ask before calling
Arrival time to New Brunswick, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
Do you have a wheel chock on the truck for a New Brunswick pickup?
Always. A bike from New Brunswick 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.
How long until the flatbed gets to New Brunswick?
On a normal day, roughly 27 minutes to New Brunswick from the Linden yard. Rush hour on Route 18 stretches it, and the dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
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 New Brunswick.
Can you pick up a bike from a garage or lot at Rutgers College Avenue campus?
Of course. The bike rolls to wherever the deck can come down, which at Rutgers College Avenue campus 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.
I dropped the bike on Route 18. What do I do?
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 New Brunswick.
Is a scooter too small for your truck?
Yes, with the same chock and soft loops as a full-size bike. Small bikes are easy to strap wrong; we do not.
How much is a motorcycle tow in New Brunswick?
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 18 costs the same as noon.
Can my bike ride to a shop outside New Brunswick?
Anywhere. Nearby shops are the per-mile rate; a run of an hour or more out of New Brunswick becomes long distance towing: /long-distance-towing-new-brunswick-nj.
Dead battery after storage: jump or flatbed?
Jump first, in most cases. If the battery is finished or the bike needs a shop, the flatbed with the chock is dispatched from the same call. See /jump-start-new-brunswick-nj.
