Motorcycle towing in Union, NJ: chock, soft straps and a flatbed, 12 minutes from our Linden dispatch
A bike down on Route 22, a bike that will not start in a Union Center garage, a bike that needs to reach a shop across Union. Each rides the same way: front wheel locked in a chock, soft loops on the frame, upright on a flatbed that is about 12 minutes from Linden.
Why Union drivers call us for motorcycle towing before anyone else
Motorcycle towing in Union 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 about 12 minutes at a flat quoted price.
The wrong truck can do more damage to a motorcycle in ten minutes than a season on Route 22. 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 Union Center garage to a shoulder on I-78, a township of 60,000 keeps a fair number of bikes, and the truck is about 12 minutes from Linden for all of them.
A large, busy township with Route 22 running through its middle, Kean University on its south side, and dense residential sections on both sides of the highway. Every kind of vehicle: commuter cars, family SUVs, dealer traffic and fleet trucks on Route 22. One of the highest call volumes in the county. A motorcycle can be walked to wherever the flatbed can drop its deck, which makes a tight Union Center street less of a problem than it would be for a car.
Why a bike from Union arrives at the shop unmarked
A bolted chock captures the front tire and holds the bike vertical without a hand on it. Soft loops go over the triple tree and around the frame, and the ratchets pull on the loops, never on paint or plastic. Both forks are compressed the same distance so the bike is pinned rather than balanced, and a strap at the rear stops it walking on Route 22's bumps. Done that way, a bike from Union Center arrives without a mark.
Where Union riders break down
Riders in Union get stranded on Route 22 with a flat, in a lot at Kean University with a dead battery, and in their own Union Center garages with a bike that has not run since October. A few go down on a wet patch on I-78. All of it is a flatbed with the chock, and the driver shields the shoulder with the amber bar before touching the bike.
After a fall: getting the bike to a shop safely
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 22, tell the dispatcher; we coordinate on the lane.
Dead, locked or half-built: bikes that cannot roll
Driveways in the neighborhoods, huge open lots on Route 22 and at Kean; a few tight garages at the apartment complexes near the Parkway. 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 Union it is and what is missing.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in UnionA Union bike tow from the first call to the unload
Say where in Union 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 22 to a Union Center garage
The road and direction if you are on Route 22, 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 Union.
Step three: one number before the truck leaves Linden
Hook fee plus mileage to the shop or your Union garage, one total, quoted before the truck leaves Linden. Asking costs nothing.
Step four: the bike goes up the deck and gets pinned
The bike is walked or winched up the lowered deck into the locking chock. Soft loops around the triple tree and frame, ratchets tightened evenly so the forks compress the same on both sides, a rear strap to stop it walking. The driver checks it before the truck moves and again at the first stop.
Step five: unloaded upright, paid at the bike
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 Union 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 Union.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for motorcycle towing in Union: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the drop
A motorcycle towing call from Union takes about three minutes on the phone, about 12 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 Union has done this before, or does it often. Here is the whole thing in order, so the hour is predictable.
Step one, from Union: the call and the four questions
Someone picks up (908) 444-0129 around the clock: no menu, no callback queue, no hold music. You are asked the same four things every caller is asked: where the car is (road, direction, nearest cross street or exit, such as Garden State Parkway Exit 139, or the lot name), what it is, what went wrong, and where you want it taken. If you are not sure exactly where you are in Union, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
Minutes one to three: the price and the dispatch
Three facts (where the car is in Union, 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 12 minutes on the road: Linden to Union
From Linden the truck runs Route 22 and Garden State Parkway and takes Garden State Parkway Exit 139 into Union, about 12 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 Union: 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 township driveway, a curb, a lot at Kean University 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. 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 Union. Everything else we do in Union is on the Union towing page.
Three minutes on the phone, about 12 minutes on the road. Start the clock: call (908) 444-0129.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Union: motorcycle towing response on Route 22, Garden State Parkway, I-78 and Morris Avenue
Route 22, Garden State Parkway and I-78 carry our trucks from Linden into Union, with Garden State Parkway Exit 139, Garden State Parkway Exit 140, Garden State Parkway Exit 140A and I-78 Exit 50 (Union / Vauxhall) 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 Union 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.
Route 22: motorcycle towing response in Union
The retail and dealer corridor through the center of town; jughandles, no shoulders in spots, and a constant stream of stalled cars in the center lane. On Route 22 say the direction and the nearest exit or cross street so the truck reaches you on the correct side.
Garden State Parkway at Union: the Authority's garage first, then motorcycle towing from us
Exits 139, 140 and 140A serve Union; the Route 22 interchange at 140 is a notorious tangle. 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.
I-78: motorcycle towing response in Union
Runs along the northern edge with the express and local lanes; breakdowns near the Parkway interchange. Riders on I-78 call for flats, dead batteries and chain problems; each is a flatbed with the chock, quoted flat before the truck leaves Linden.
Morris Avenue: motorcycle towing response in Union
The old main street from Elizabeth through Union Center to Springfield; buses and tight parking. After a fall on Morris Avenue, get off the road first, then call; we right the bike, drain what leaks and strap it for the shop.
Stuyvesant Avenue / Chestnut Street through Union: motorcycle towing on the road and off it
Cross-town connectors between Union Center and Vauxhall. After a fall on Stuyvesant Avenue / Chestnut Street, get off the road first, then call; we right the bike, drain what leaks and strap it for the shop.
Vauxhall Road through Union: motorcycle towing on the road and off it
Northern connector toward Millburn and Maplewood. On Vauxhall Road say the direction and the nearest exit or cross street so the truck reaches you on the correct side.
Highway exits that serve Union
Garden State Parkway Exit 139, Garden State Parkway Exit 140, Garden State Parkway Exit 140A and I-78 Exit 50 (Union / Vauxhall) are the exits our trucks use for Union. 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.
Stopped on a shoulder near Union? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in UnionKean University, Route 22 retail and dealer row and Union Center business district and Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane: the Union spots that call for motorcycle towing most
Kean University, Route 22 retail and dealer row, Union Center business district, Union Plaza / Route 22 shopping centers and Vauxhall section and Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane and Kean University shuttle lots are where Union drivers most often need motorcycle towing, and each is about 12 minutes from a Linden truck or technician.
Motorcycle towing at Kean University
Bikes that will not start at Kean University 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 12 minutes from Linden.
Route 22 retail and dealer row: motorcycle towing response
Bikes that will not start at Route 22 retail and dealer row 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 12 minutes from Linden.
Motorcycle towing when the car stops at Union Center business district
A motorcycle in a garage or lot at Union Center business district can be walked to the entrance and loaded outside if the deck clearance is low. Tell the dispatcher the level.
Union Plaza / Route 22 shopping centers: motorcycle towing response

Motorcycle towing when the car stops at Vauxhall section
Vauxhall section sends us dropped bikes and bikes that would not restart after a stop. Name the row or the entrance; the flatbed is about 12 minutes from Linden and the bike is walked to wherever the deck can come down.
Motorcycle towing when the car stops at Overlook Hospital annex and medical offices
Breakdowns at Overlook Hospital annex and medical offices in Union are quoted flat, hook plus mileage to the shop you choose, and the bike rides upright in the chock with soft loops.
Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane and Kean University shuttle lots: motorcycle towing in the commuter lot
Commuters who ride to Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane and Kean University shuttle lots 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 UnionMotorcycles and situations we tow in Union
The bikes we move in Union range from superbikes to scooters, cruisers to adventure bikes, and the calls come from the shoulder of Route 22, the lots at Kean University, and garages in Union Center holding a project that has not run in years.
Superbikes stranded on Route 22 and I-78
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 Union and comes off with the fairings untouched.
Heavy bikes with bags out of Union
Cruisers and baggers from Union Center and Vauxhall 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 Union
Tall forks compress a long way; even pressure on both sides keeps the bike from leaning. Bikes coming off trails outside Union with a bent rim or a dead engine ride the same way.
Scooters, mopeds and small-displacement bikes
Mopeds and small bikes from Union Center and around Kean University 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 Kean University and on I-78
After a fall on I-78 or in a lot near Kean University, the bike is stood up, drained of whatever is leaking, strapped without loading the bent parts, and photographed for the claim before it leaves Union.
Bikes that cannot roll from a Union Center garage
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 Union Center.
Whatever stopped the car in Union, one number sends the right truck or technician.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedMotorcycle towing prices in Union, NJ: what the number is made of and why you hear it before dispatch
A motorcycle tow in Union costs a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to the shop or your garage, quoted on the call, with the chock and straps included and no night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
The two numbers in a Union bike quote
Two numbers, one total: the hook fee and the mileage from where the bike is in Union to where it is going. The chock, the soft loops and the dolly are part of the job, not extras.
Why the bike costs the same at night in Union
No after-hours or holiday surcharge, no fuel surcharge, no fee for the equipment a bike needs. A ride home from Union at midnight is priced like one at noon.
Paying and insurance after a crash
The driver takes any card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. The receipt shows where in Union the bike was collected, where it went and the mileage; add the photos from the pickup on Route 22 and the insurer has everything it needs.
The reason this page has no motorcycle towing price table for Union
A printed price would have to be wrong for someone: the car at Kean University and the car on the shoulder of I-78 are different jobs, and so are a compact and a full-size SUV, and so are a drop across town and one across Union 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.
Want the number for motorcycle towing in Union before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.

Vauxhall, Union: motorcycle towing response
Calls from Vauxhall are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Union. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Vauxhall and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.

Battle Hill gets the same response as the rest of Union: a dispatcher who quotes motorcycle towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 12 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Battle Hill and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Putnam Manor, Union: motorcycle towing response
Putnam Manor gets the same response as the rest of Union: a dispatcher who quotes motorcycle towing on the call, a truck from Linden in about 12 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out.

Motorcycle towing in Connecticut Farms

Give the cross streets in Connecticut Farms and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Motorcycle towing in Townley

Larchmont, Union: motorcycle towing response
In Larchmont the approach depends on the street: a Larchmont driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Larchmont. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Larchmont as everywhere in Union.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchMotorcycle towing for every kind of Union driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 22
The motorcycle towing calls from Union come from a township of about 60,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Kean University, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 22.
A large, busy township with Route 22 running through its middle, Kean University on its south side, and dense residential sections on both sides of the highway. Every kind of vehicle: commuter cars, family SUVs, dealer traffic and fleet trucks on Route 22. One of the highest call volumes in the county. Those are the drivers of Union, and each group below calls for motorcycle towing for its own reasons.
Union commuters, from the platform at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane to the driveway
The lot at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane is where Union 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.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Union
The township has a lot of two- and three-car households, and the spare car is the one that fails. A local tow to the shop or the dealer is priced as hook plus mileage, quoted on the call. If you are locked out with a child inside, call 911 first and then us; that call goes to the front of the line.
Union businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Around Kean University and Route 22 retail and dealer row 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 Union 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.
Passing through Union on Route 22 when the car quit
Union sits on Route 22, 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 Union, 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 Union dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Motorcycle towing explainedMotorcycle towing in Union by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of motorcycle towing call from Union: ice and weak batteries, then potholes, then heat and tires, then wet leaves and deer at dusk; the 24-hour dispatch is the same all year. Route 22 underpasses and the Elizabeth River near Vauxhall Road flood in heavy rain; the I-78 ramps ice early.
Ask a dispatcher what Union sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane in January, bent wheels off I-78 in April, overheated cars on Route 22 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 Union County.
Winter motorcycle towing in Union when Route 22 ices over
Winter motorcycle calls are storage moves and the occasional bike that would not start on the first warm day. The lot at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane empties late on winter evenings, and the cars left behind are ours to jump or tow. Say whether the car is behind a plow ridge, on a sloped driveway or on the shoulder of Route 22; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Spring motorcycle towing in Union 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. The spring calls cluster around Kean University and along Route 22, 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 Union 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. Holiday weekends load Route 22 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Motorcycle towing in Union from October to December
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 Union; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Union.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Union. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Call nowUnion County towingMotorcycle towing in Union: the questions drivers ask before calling
How long motorcycle towing takes to reach Union, 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 Union pickup?
Always. A bike from Union 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 Union Center.
What is the wait for a motorcycle tow in Union?
The flatbed is about 12 minutes from Linden, coming in by Garden State Parkway Exit 139. Give the road, your direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
Will the straps touch my paint?
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 Union.
Do you pick up from the lots at Kean University?
Yes. A motorcycle can be walked or dollied to the entrance and loaded outside if the deck clearance is low. Tell the dispatcher the level.
Will you tow a bike with no key in Union?
With the title or registration, yes. A dolly under the front wheel handles the locked steering and the bike is winched aboard from your Union Center driveway or wherever it sits.
I dropped the bike on Route 22. 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 Union.
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.
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.
Can my bike ride to a shop outside Union?
Anywhere. Nearby shops are the per-mile rate; a run of an hour or more out of Union becomes long distance towing: /long-distance-towing-union-nj.
Dead battery after storage: jump or flatbed?
Try the jump first. A technician comes to the garage in Union; 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-union-nj.
If your question about motorcycle towing in Union is missing, call it in. A dispatcher answers it directly and prices the job in the same breath.
