Motorcycle towing in Paterson, NJ: chock, soft straps and a flatbed, 40 minutes from our Linden dispatch
A motorcycle strapped wrong is a motorcycle with a bent bar and a scratched tank. Ours ride Paterson to the shop the way they should: chocked, soft-strapped, forks compressed evenly, on a flatbed from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Why Paterson drivers call us for motorcycle towing before anyone else
A Paterson motorcycle tow is a flatbed with a bolted wheel chock, soft-loop straps that never touch paint, forks pinned evenly on both sides and the bike standing upright the whole ride, sent from Linden about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour away at a price you hear before the truck moves.
Riders in Paterson break down on I-80, drop a bike on a wet corner, or find the battery flat after a winter in the garage. Each is a flatbed job with the chock, the soft loops and even fork compression, and each is quoted flat before the truck leaves Linden about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour away. The bike goes up upright and comes off upright.
The third-largest city in the state: dense apartment and row-house blocks, the Great Falls and the old mill district, and a downtown around Main and Market Streets. I-80 and Route 20 run through it, street parking is everywhere, and the call volume is high day and night. 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.
Chock, soft loops, even fork compression: how a bike rides out of Paterson
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 Paterson arrives at the shop with nothing marked.
Where Paterson riders break down
Riders in Paterson get stranded on I-80 with a flat, in a lot at Great Falls National Historical Park with a dead battery, and in their own Downtown garages with a bike that has not run since October. A few go down on a wet patch on Route 20. All of it is a flatbed with the chock, and the driver shields the shoulder with the amber bar before touching the bike.
Righting, draining and securing a downed bike on I-80
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 I-80 or Route 20, say so; we coordinate with them on where the truck stops.
Bikes with no key, a locked steering head or no battery
Bikes in Downtown garages that have not run in years still move: a dolly under the front wheel handles a locked steering head, ownership paperwork covers a lost key, and a frame with no front wheel is strapped by the frame. Curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets in almost every neighborhood, small alley driveways, and a few decks downtown and at the hospital. Boxed-in cars and double-parked blocks shape how a truck approaches. Describe the bike and its spot and the right gear comes on the truck.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in PatersonWhat happens when you call for a motorcycle tow in Paterson
Say where in Paterson 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 I-80 to a Downtown garage
The road and direction if you are on I-80, 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: the bike and its condition
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 Paterson.
Step three: one number before the truck leaves Linden
You hear the hook fee and the mileage to the destination as a single figure, whether the bike is going to a shop on I-80 or home to Downtown. The quote is free and you can hang up.
Step four: the bike goes up the deck and gets pinned
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 I-80.
Step five: the bike comes off the deck, the paperwork follows
The bike is unloaded upright at the shop or your garage, and you get an itemized receipt with the Paterson pickup, the destination and the mileage. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. After a crash, photos are available for 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 Paterson.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for motorcycle towing in Paterson: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
A motorcycle towing call from Paterson takes about three minutes on the phone, about 40 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.
Nobody who calls us from Paterson has done this before, or does it often. Here is the whole thing in order, so the hour is predictable.
Step one, from Paterson: the call and the four questions
The call to (908) 444-0129 is answered by a dispatcher at any hour, not a recording. Four questions follow: exactly where the car is in Paterson (the road and direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as I-80 Exit 56 (Squirrelwood Road), or the name of the lot), the make and model, what happened, and the destination. If you are on the shoulder of I-80, say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line.
Minutes one to three: one number, then a truck is assigned
Three facts (where the car is in Paterson, 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 40 minutes on the road: Linden to Paterson
The route in is I-80 and Route 20, coming off at I-80 Exit 56 (Squirrelwood Road). That is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour with clear roads; in snow or a rush-hour backup the dispatcher gives you the real figure instead of a hopeful one. A few minutes before arrival the driver calls so you can spot the right truck and wave him to the car. Stay belted in the car if you are on a shoulder, hazards on, unless the car itself is in danger.
On scene in Paterson: 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 Great Falls National Historical Park 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.
After: the receipt and what to do next
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. 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 Paterson is on the Paterson towing page.
Three minutes on the phone, about 40 minutes on the road. Start the clock: call (908) 444-0129.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Paterson: motorcycle towing response on I-80, Route 20, Route 19 and Main Street / Market Street
Our route from Linden to Paterson runs I-80, Route 20 and Route 19, coming off at I-80 Exit 56 (Squirrelwood Road), I-80 Exit 57 (Route 19 / Downtown), I-80 Exit 58 (Madison Avenue) and Route 20 at Broadway / 5th Avenue, and motorcycle towing on any of those roads is a direct dispatch.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Paterson by its roads: I-80, Route 20 and Route 19 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.
Motorcycle towing on I-80 in Paterson
Runs through the southern part of the city with exits 56 through 58; the ramps and the Route 20 interchange are the busiest breakdown spots. Riders on I-80 call for flats, dead batteries and chain problems; each is a flatbed with the chock, quoted flat before the truck leaves Linden.
Route 20: motorcycle towing response in Paterson
The riverside highway along the eastern edge toward Fair Lawn and Elmwood Park; fast with narrow shoulders. After a fall on Route 20, get off the road first, then call; we right the bike, drain what leaks and strap it for the shop.
Route 19: motorcycle towing response in Paterson
The short spur from I-80 into downtown; stalled cars at the light at the end. After a fall on Route 19, get off the road first, then call; we right the bike, drain what leaks and strap it for the shop.
Main Street / Market Street through Paterson: motorcycle towing on the road and off it
Downtown's commercial grid with buses, double parking and one-way blocks. On Main Street / Market Street say the direction and the nearest exit or cross street so the truck reaches you on the correct side.
McBride Avenue / Union Avenue: motorcycle towing response in Paterson
Connectors toward the Great Falls, Totowa and Woodland Park. On McBride Avenue / Union Avenue say the direction and the nearest exit or cross street so the truck reaches you on the correct side.
Broadway / 21st Avenue through Paterson: motorcycle towing on the road and off it
Long east–west commercial streets through the Eastside and the Riverside sections. Riders on Broadway / 21st Avenue call for flats, dead batteries and chain problems; each is a flatbed with the chock, quoted flat before the truck leaves Linden.
Paterson by exit number
I-80 Exit 56 (Squirrelwood Road), I-80 Exit 57 (Route 19 / Downtown), I-80 Exit 58 (Madison Avenue) and Route 20 at Broadway / 5th Avenue are the exits our trucks use for Paterson. If you are on the highway, the exit number is the single most useful thing you can tell the dispatcher about motorcycle towing. 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.

Downtown Main and Market Streets, St. Joseph's University Medical Center, Eastside Park, Passaic County Community College and Hinchliffe Stadium and Paterson station (NJ Transit Main Line) and Paterson Broadway bus terminal are where Paterson drivers most often need motorcycle towing, and each is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from a Linden truck or technician.
Motorcycle towing when the car stops at Downtown Main and Market Streets
Bikes that will not start at Downtown Main and Market Streets are usually a battery; a jump is tried first and the flatbed with the chock comes if the bike needs a shop. Say the lot or the entrance and the driver meets you at the bike, about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden.
Motorcycle towing when the car stops at St. Joseph's University Medical Center
St. Joseph's University Medical Center sends us dropped bikes and bikes that would not restart after a stop. Name the row or the entrance; the flatbed is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden and the bike is walked to wherever the deck can come down.

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 PatersonEvery kind of bike, every kind of call in Paterson
The bikes we move in Paterson range from superbikes to scooters, cruisers to adventure bikes, and the calls come from the shoulder of I-80, the lots at Great Falls National Historical Park, and garages in Downtown holding a project that has not run in years.
Fairings, clip-ons and low pegs: sport bikes from Paterson
Fairings, clip-ons and low pegs mean nothing can touch the bodywork. Soft loops to the triple tree and subframe, chock locked, forks compressed evenly. The bike rides upright and comes off without a scuff.
Heavy bikes with bags out of Paterson
Cruisers and baggers from Downtown and Eastside get the wide chock and a driver who has loaded heavy bikes before. If it will not roll up the deck it is winched. Straps go to the frame; the bags and fairings are never load points.
Long forks and tall bikes from Paterson
A dual-sport or adventure bike has forks with a lot of travel, and compressing them unevenly leaves the bike leaning on the deck. The driver tightens both sides alternately until it stands square. Bikes coming back from trails outside Paterson with a bent rim or a dead motor load the same way.
Small bikes, same chock, same care in Paterson
Small bikes are easy to walk to the truck and easy to strap wrong. We use the chock and soft loops on a scooter the same as on a superbike.
Downed bikes on I-80: right it, drain it, strap it
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 I-80.
Dollies, ownership papers and half-built bikes in Paterson
A locked steering head goes onto a dolly under the front wheel. A bike with no key moves with proof of ownership. A project missing a wheel or a motor is strapped by the frame and delivered to the shop or back to the garage in Downtown.
However the car ended up stopped in Paterson, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedHow much motorcycle towing costs in Paterson, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
The price of a bike tow in Paterson is one total, the hook fee and the miles to wherever the bike is going, given on the call; the chock and straps come with it, and there is no surcharge for the hour, the day or fuel.
The two numbers in a Paterson bike quote
The hook fee pays for dispatch, the chock-and-strap loading and the driver's time; mileage is the distance from Downtown or wherever the bike sits to the shop. A run to a shop on I-80 usually stays inside the base mileage. You hear the total before the flatbed leaves Linden.
Why the bike costs the same at night in Paterson
The Paterson price does not move for the clock, the calendar or the weather, and the equipment a motorcycle needs is never billed separately. Midnight on Route 20 and Tuesday afternoon in Downtown are the same number.
Paying and insurance after a crash
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site. The itemized receipt lists the Paterson 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 Paterson
A number on a page cannot know whether your car is on I-80 or in a driveway in Lakeview, whether it is a Civic or a Range Rover, or where it is going. A quote on the phone takes thirty seconds and is exact. Call, ask, and hang up if you do not like it.

From Lakeview to Hillcrest, every part of Paterson gets motorcycle towing from the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is Lakeview, People's Park, Stoney Road, Wrigley Park, Sandy Hill, Northside, Downtown, Eastside, Riverside, South Paterson, Totowa section and Hillcrest.
Curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets in almost every neighborhood, small alley driveways, and a few decks downtown and at the hospital. Boxed-in cars and double-parked blocks shape how a truck approaches. That is why the dispatcher asks which of Paterson's 12 sections the car is in before the truck leaves Linden.
Lakeview: what motorcycle towing looks like here
Calls from Lakeview are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Paterson. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Lakeview and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
People's Park: what motorcycle towing looks like here
People's Park gets the same response as the rest of Paterson: a dispatcher who quotes motorcycle towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in People's Park and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Motorcycle towing in Stoney Road
In Stoney Road the approach depends on the street: a Stoney Road driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Stoney Road. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Stoney Road as everywhere in Paterson.
Motorcycle towing in Wrigley Park
Wrigley Park gets the same response as the rest of Paterson: a dispatcher who quotes motorcycle towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Wrigley Park and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Sandy Hill, Paterson: motorcycle towing response
In Sandy Hill the approach depends on the street: a Sandy 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 Sandy Hill. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Sandy Hill as everywhere in Paterson.
Northside, Paterson: motorcycle towing response
Calls from Northside are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Paterson. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Northside and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchMotorcycle towing for every kind of Paterson driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on I-80
Motorcycle towing in Paterson serves roughly 160,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Paterson station (NJ Transit Main Line), families in the residential streets, businesses near Great Falls National Historical Park, and drivers who only know Paterson as an exit on I-80.
The third-largest city in the state: dense apartment and row-house blocks, the Great Falls and the old mill district, and a downtown around Main and Market Streets. I-80 and Route 20 run through it, street parking is everywhere, and the call volume is high day and night. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Paterson commuters, from the platform at Paterson station (NJ Transit Main Line) to the driveway
A Paterson commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on I-80 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 Paterson
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. Curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets in almost every neighborhood, small alley driveways, and a few decks downtown and at the hospital. Boxed-in cars and double-parked blocks shape how a truck approaches. 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.
Paterson businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Around Great Falls National Historical Park and Downtown Main and Market Streets 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 Paterson 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.
Drivers passing through Paterson on I-80
Paterson sits on I-80, 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 Paterson, 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 Paterson dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedHow the season changes motorcycle towing in Paterson: what breaks on I-80 and Route 20 in January, April, July and October
The trucks run to Paterson in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on I-80 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. The Passaic River floods the Riverside, Northside and Stoney Road blocks in major storms; I-80 ramps ice first.
Ask a dispatcher what Paterson sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Paterson station (NJ Transit Main Line) in January, bent wheels off Route 20 in April, overheated cars on I-80 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 Passaic County.
Winter in Paterson: what freezes, what slides and what will not start
Winter motorcycle calls are storage moves and the occasional bike that would not start on the first warm day. In Paterson the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
Pothole season in Paterson: March and April on Route 20
The first warm weekend brings dead batteries, flat tires from sitting and bikes dropped in the driveway; each one rides chocked and strapped. The spring calls cluster around Great Falls National Historical Park and along I-80, 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.
Motorcycle towing in Paterson in July and August
Summer is ride season; breakdowns on the way to the shore or the hills are picked up wherever the bike stopped. Summer in Paterson also fills the lots at Great Falls National Historical Park, 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 Paterson
Fall means wet leaves, cold tires and the last rides of the year; a dropped bike is loaded with the fairings protected. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Paterson; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Paterson.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Paterson. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.

Call nowPassaic County towingQuestions Paterson drivers ask about motorcycle towing before they call
How long motorcycle towing takes to reach Paterson, what it costs, which truck comes, where the car can go, garages, insurance and what to do while you wait; anything not covered, a dispatcher answers live.
Do you have a wheel chock on the truck for a Paterson pickup?
Yes. The chock is bolted to the deck and the soft loops are on the truck for every bike call in Paterson. Tell the dispatcher the make and model so the driver sets the chock width before he arrives.
How long until the flatbed gets to Paterson?
On a normal day, about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour to Paterson from the Linden yard. Rush hour on I-80 stretches it, and the dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
Will the straps touch my paint?
They never reach it. Soft loops sit between the strap and the bike at the triple tree and frame, and even fork compression keeps the bike from rocking against anything on the way from Downtown to the shop.
Can you pick up a bike from a garage or lot at Great Falls National Historical Park?
Yes. If the garage at Great Falls National Historical Park is too low for the flatbed, the bike is walked or dollied to the entrance and loaded in the open. Tell the dispatcher the level and the driver plans the route.
I lost the key. Can the bike still be moved?
Yes, with proof of ownership. A locked steering head goes on a dolly under the front wheel.
I went down on Route 20. What should I do first?
Your safety first, then the bike. Once you are off I-80, call; we stand the bike up, drain it, secure it in the chock and take the photos your insurer will want.
Do you tow scooters and mopeds in Paterson?
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 or at Great Falls National Historical Park.
Is the bike tow priced like a car tow?
A flat hook fee plus mileage to the shop or your garage, quoted on the call. The chock, straps and dolly are included. No night or holiday surcharge.
Do you tow bikes to a specialist in another town?
Yes, at the per-mile rate. Long runs to a specialist or a track are long distance towing: /long-distance-towing-paterson-nj.
Dead battery after storage: jump or flatbed?
Try the jump first. A technician comes to the garage in Paterson; 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-paterson-nj.
If your question about motorcycle towing in Paterson is missing, call it in. A dispatcher answers it directly and prices the job in the same breath.
