24/7 roadside assistance in Newark, NJ: jump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel without a membership
Most breakdowns in Newark do not need a tow. A technician comes to your car on Routes 1 & 9, in a driveway or in a lot, fixes the thing that stopped you, and you drive away. One flat price per service, no membership, about 15 minutes from Linden.
Why Newark drivers call us for roadside assistance before anyone else
Our roadside service in Newark is four fixes, jump start, tire change, lockout and fuel, each priced flat and quoted first, done by our own technician about 15 minutes from Linden with no plan or annual fee, and backed by a flatbed sent from the same call if the car needs it.
A dead battery, a flat tire, keys locked inside and an empty tank account for most of the roadside calls we get from Newark. Each one is fixed in minutes by a technician with a jump pack, a jack and impact gun, lockout tools or a fuel can. We quote the roadside price first, and if the car needs a tow after all, because the battery is truly dead or there is no spare, the flatbed is dispatched from the same call, not a second one.
The largest city in the state and the one with the most ways to break down: airport and port traffic on the east side, dense street parking and parking decks downtown and in the Ironbound, and residential wards on the hills to the west and south. Fleet vans, delivery trucks, rideshares and commuter cars all share the same streets with tractor-trailers headed for Port Newark. That is where the technician goes: to the car, wherever it is sitting, with the tool for the job already on the truck.
Our own technician on Routes 1 & 9, not whoever accepts the page
Roadside plans sell peace of mind and then page whichever contractor accepts the job, which is why the wait on Routes 1 & 9 is often an hour or more. We are the company that shows up. You call (908) 444-0129, our dispatcher answers, and our technician leaves Linden for Newark, about 15 minutes away. Many plans reimburse an out-of-network call anyway; we hand you the itemized receipt they ask for.
Jump, tire, lockout or fuel: what the Newark call usually is
Click and nothing is a jump start. A flat with a spare in the trunk is a tire change. Keys on the seat at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots is a lockout. The needle on E and the engine quit on I-78 is fuel delivery. Describe what happened and the dispatcher sends the right technician with the right tool; you never have to name the service.
Where roadside calls come from in Newark
Street parking everywhere, parking decks downtown and around Penn Station, open surface lots at the airport and the port. Decks under seven feet keep flatbeds out, so we dolly to the entrance, and double-parked blocks in the Ironbound slow the approach. Each kind of spot produces its own call: lots like Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots yield dead batteries and locked-in keys, Routes 1 & 9 and I-78 yield flats and empty tanks, and the driveways of Ironbound yield all four on the first freezing morning. Say exactly where the car is and the van arrives prepared for it.
If the fix will not hold: the tow from the same call
A battery that will not hold a charge, a flat with no usable spare, a car that will not restart even with fuel in it. About a third of roadside calls end that way, and the dispatcher tells you the tow price on the same call. The flatbed is dispatched to Newark from the same conversation, and you pay the tow, not the tow plus a second callout.
If you need roadside assistance in Newark this minute, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129All towing in NewarkA Newark roadside call, step by step: call, quote, technician, fix
The call takes a minute: where the car is in Newark and what it did. The dispatcher identifies the service, gives one flat price and an honest window, the technician leaves Linden, the fix is done at the car, and if it cannot be fixed there the tow is priced on the spot.
Step one: tell dispatch where to find you
On Routes 1 & 9 or I-78, the direction and the nearest exit or cross street. On a residential street, the address and the neighborhood. In a lot, the name of the place, such as Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, and which section. In a garage, the level. The technician's van fits where a flatbed does not, but he still needs to find you.
Step two: what the car did
Tell the dispatcher what you saw and heard: nothing when you turned the key, a flat and whether the spare is any good, the keys visible on the seat, the engine dying with the needle on E. The name of the service is his job. Add the make and model, since a hybrid, a diesel or a push-button car changes what goes on the van to Newark.
Step three: one flat price, quoted before the technician rolls
The dispatcher gives one number for the service, the same number whether the car is on Routes 1 & 9 at midnight or in an Ironbound driveway at noon. Delivered fuel is charged at cost. Say yes or no. If a tow is likely, its price is on the same call, not a second one.
Step four: van at the car, truck shielding the scene
You get a call a few minutes before he arrives. On Routes 1 & 9 he parks the truck between you and traffic with the amber bar on before he gets out. The battery, the tire, the lock or the fuel is handled at the car. After opening a locked car he checks ID and registration, which is for your protection.
Step five: most Newark calls end here
Usually the story ends with you pulling back onto Routes 1 & 9. If not, because the battery is done, the spare is useless or the car will not start, the tow is already quoted and the flatbed rolls to your shop. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash are all fine, and the receipt is itemized.
Have the road, the cross street and the make and model ready. That is all the dispatcher needs to quote roadside assistance in Newark.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyWhat happens after you call for roadside assistance in Newark: minute by minute from Linden dispatch to the fix
From Newark the whole roadside assistance call runs in three parts: a three-minute phone call with a quoted price, about 15 minutes while the technician drives in from Linden via NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, and usually less than twenty minutes at the car before the fix is done and paid for.
The fastest way to take the stress out of roadside assistance in Newark is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.
The first minute: what the dispatcher asks when you call from Newark
A dispatcher answers (908) 444-0129 at any hour; there is no menu and no callback queue. The questions are the same every time: where exactly is the car (the road, the direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and what you have already tried. If you are not sure exactly where you are in Newark, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
Minutes one to three: the price and the dispatch
With the location, the vehicle and the problem known, the dispatcher quotes one number. For a roadside job it is one flat price for the service, and it does not change on scene. Say yes and the nearest available truck is assigned while you are still on the line. You are given an arrival window built from where that truck actually is, not from a slogan. Nothing is charged until the job is done.
While the truck is on its way to Newark
The truck comes in on NJ Turnpike and Routes 1 & 9 and uses NJ Turnpike Exit 13A. Off-peak it is about 15 minutes; in a storm the dispatcher tells you the honest number. The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours and can point out the car. Stay belted in the car if you are on a shoulder, hazards on, unless the car itself is in danger.
At the car in Newark: the roadside assistance is done on the spot
Name confirmed, photo taken, tools out: that is the first minute on scene in Newark. The technician works from the truck's lights on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9 or in a lot at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, and says before packing up whether the battery, the tire or the lock needs a shop visit soon. You are shown the result before you pay.
After: the receipt and what to do next
An itemized receipt arrives by text or email showing the service and the quoted price: 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 Newark is on the Newark towing page.
Three minutes on the phone, about 15 minutes on the road. Start the clock: call (908) 444-0129.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Newark: roadside assistance response on NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9, I-78 and I-280
NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and I-78 carry our trucks from Linden into Newark, with NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14, NJ Turnpike Exit 14A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14B, NJ Turnpike Exit 14C and Garden State Parkway Exit 145 as the ramps we use, and we answer roadside assistance 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 Newark call for roadside assistance 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.
NJ Turnpike at Newark: the Authority's garage first, then roadside assistance from us
Exits 13A, 14, 14A, 14B and 14C serve the airport, the port and downtown; the shoulders near the Exit 14 interchange are the busiest breakdown spots in the city. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Routes 1 & 9 through Newark: roadside assistance on the road and off it
Runs from the Elizabeth line past the airport to the Pulaski Skyway approach; narrow shoulders, heavy truck traffic, constant tire and rear-end calls. A roadside call on Routes 1 & 9 is one flat price, the same as a driveway in Newark; only the arrival window depends on where you are.
I-78 through Newark: roadside assistance on the road and off it
Cuts through the south side toward the Turnpike and Newark Bay; the express and local split near Hillside catches people out. For a flat or an empty tank here, stay belted in the car with the hazards on; the technician positions the truck between you and traffic before he works.
I-280 through Newark: roadside assistance on the road and off it
Runs west from the Turnpike through downtown toward the Oranges; steep on-ramps and stop-and-go at rush hour. If police are with you on I-280, tell the dispatcher; the technician coordinates with them on where to stop.
Route 21 (McCarter Highway) through Newark: roadside assistance on the road and off it
The north-south spine along the Passaic River past Penn Station and Broad Street; tight lanes and few places to pull over. For a flat or an empty tank here, stay belted in the car with the hazards on; the technician positions the truck between you and traffic before he works.
Broad Street / Market Street: roadside assistance response in Newark
Downtown's main streets; double-parking, decks and one-way blocks change how the truck approaches. For a flat or an empty tank here, stay belted in the car with the hazards on; the technician positions the truck between you and traffic before he works.
Ferry Street: roadside assistance response in Newark
The Ironbound's commercial strip; tight street parking, lockouts and dead batteries at the restaurants and shops. Say the direction you are facing on Ferry Street; approaching from the wrong side adds minutes the technician would rather spend at your car.
The exits our trucks take for Newark
For Newark the ramps to know are NJ Turnpike Exit 13A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14, NJ Turnpike Exit 14A, NJ Turnpike Exit 14B, NJ Turnpike Exit 14C and Garden State Parkway Exit 145. A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets the roadside assistance truck on the right side of the road the first time. For the Turnpike and Parkway express lanes with no exit, the Authority's garage handles the shoulder and we meet the car at the exit.
If you are on the side of Routes 1 & 9 or any road near Newark: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in NewarkRoadside assistance at the places Newark drivers stop: Rutgers–Newark and NJIT, University Hospital and Branch Brook Park and the Newark Penn Station lot
The common Newark pickup points for roadside assistance are Rutgers–Newark and NJIT, University Hospital, Branch Brook Park, Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street and Newark Museum and the downtown arts district and Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue; a truck or technician reaches any of them in about 15 minutes.
Roadside assistance at Rutgers–Newark and NJIT
A car that will not start at Rutgers–Newark and NJIT is a jump first and a tow only if the battery is finished. Keys inside are a lockout. Say which lot or which entrance and the technician comes to the car, not the store.
University Hospital: roadside assistance response
At University Hospital the technician is about 15 minutes from Linden and meets you at the car with the pack, the jack and the lockout kit on the same van. Name the section, stay with the car, and the fix is done where it sits.
Roadside assistance at Branch Brook Park
A car that will not start at Branch Brook Park is a jump first and a tow only if the battery is finished. Keys inside are a lockout. Say which lot or which entrance and the technician comes to the car, not the store.
Roadside assistance at Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street
A car that will not start at Ironbound restaurants along Ferry Street is a jump first and a tow only if the battery is finished. Keys inside are a lockout. Say which lot or which entrance and the technician comes to the car, not the store.
Newark Museum and the downtown arts district: roadside assistance response
Roadside calls at Newark Museum and the downtown arts district get the same flat price as anywhere in Newark. If the fix does not hold, the flatbed is sent from the same call and the car goes to the shop you choose.
Roadside assistance when the car stops at Weequahic Park
A car that will not start at Weequahic Park is a jump first and a tow only if the battery is finished. Keys inside are a lockout. Say which lot or which entrance and the technician comes to the car, not the store.
Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue: roadside assistance in the commuter lot
A commuter coming back to Newark Penn Station, Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Liberty International Airport station and the P1–P4 lots and Light rail stops along Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue in the evening finds either a dead battery or a locked door with the keys inside. Both are roadside fixes, not tows: the technician jumps the car and tests the battery, or opens the door without a scratch, for a single flat price.
At one of these spots right now? Say the name and the lot, and the truck or the tech is on the way.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in NewarkThe roadside calls that come from Newark
The common Newark roadside calls are dead batteries in lots and driveways, flats on Routes 1 & 9, keys locked in cars at stores and pumps, empty tanks on I-78, on-site battery tests and cars stuck in snow or mud.
Jump starts across Newark
Commercial lithium jump packs for cars, trucks, diesels and hybrids, then a load test so you know whether the battery will hold. If it is finished we say so and can tow the car to the shop you choose from the same call. See jump starts in Newark.
Tire changes across Newark
A floor jack, an impact gun, wheel-lock sockets and a torque wrench, with the truck shielding the scene. No usable spare means a tow to the tire shop you pick, quoted on the same call. See flat tire change in Newark.
Keys locked in the car at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots
Locked out at Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots or a gas pump on Routes 1 & 9, the fix is an inflatable wedge and a reach tool that leave no mark on the door. Trunks, push-button cars with the fob inside and running engines are all opened the same way. If a child or a pet is inside, call 911 and then us. More at car lockouts in Newark.
Ran dry on I-78
A few gallons delivered to the shoulder of I-78 or an Ironbound driveway gets you to a station. Diesels that ran dry get primed. If gas went into a diesel or the reverse, do not start it; the tow to a shop for a drain is quoted on the call. Details at fuel delivery in Newark.
Winch-outs on Routes 1 & 9 and in Ironbound
The Ironbound and the streets near the Passaic River flood in heavy rain; the I-280 and Turnpike ramps ice before the local streets do. The truck rigs to a proper recovery point and pulls the car straight back; if it drives afterward, you drive. See winch out in Newark.
On-site battery and charging checks in Newark
A battery that struggled through summer gives out on the first single-digit morning. If your car has been slow to start, a technician can load-test the battery and check the alternator at the car before it strands you on Routes 1 & 9.
Whatever stopped the car in Newark, one number sends the right truck or technician.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance explainedHow much roadside assistance costs in Newark, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Every roadside service in Newark is one flat price quoted on the call, with no membership, no night, weekend or holiday surcharge, fuel added at cost, and a tow added only if the fix will not work, quoted on the spot.
One flat price per service in Newark
You hear one number for the service before you commit. Night, weekend, holiday and storm calls in Newark carry no surcharge. Fuel delivered is added at cost. If you do not like the price you hang up and owe nothing.
When the technician has to call the flatbed
A failed fix means a tow quote on the spot: hook fee plus the miles to your shop on Routes 1 & 9 or anywhere else. The flatbed is sent from the same conversation, and there is no second callout charge for Newark.
Cards, cash and the receipt your plan asks for
All major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash at the car. The itemized receipt shows the Newark location, the service and the price, which is exactly what roadside memberships ask for on their out-of-network reimbursement form.
Why there is no price list for Newark on the website
Prices depend on the truck the job needs and the distance to where you want the car, and both are known in thirty seconds on the phone. That is why the website says "quoted first" instead of printing a number that would be wrong for half of Newark.
Want the number for roadside assistance in Newark before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadEvery Newark neighborhood gets the same roadside assistance: Downtown, North Ward / Forest Hill, Roseville and Vailsburg and more
Downtown, North Ward / Forest Hill, Roseville, Vailsburg, Weequahic, Central Ward, University Heights, Dayton, South Ironbound, Lower Broadway and Ironbound: every section of Newark gets roadside assistance at the same flat quoted price.
Street parking everywhere, parking decks downtown and around Penn Station, open surface lots at the airport and the port. Decks under seven feet keep flatbeds out, so we dolly to the entrance, and double-parked blocks in the Ironbound slow the approach. The driver's first question is where the car is sitting, because the approach differs by street.
Downtown: what roadside assistance looks like here
In Downtown the approach depends on the street: a Downtown driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Downtown. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Downtown as everywhere in Newark.
North Ward / Forest Hill, Newark: roadside assistance response
Calls from North Ward / Forest Hill are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Newark. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in North Ward / Forest Hill and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Roadside assistance in Roseville
Roseville gets the same response as the rest of Newark: a dispatcher who quotes roadside assistance on the call, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Roseville and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Roadside assistance in Vailsburg
In Vailsburg the approach depends on the street: a Vailsburg driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Vailsburg. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Vailsburg as everywhere in Newark.
Weequahic, Newark: roadside assistance response
Weequahic gets the same response as the rest of Newark: a dispatcher who quotes roadside assistance on the call, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Weequahic and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Roadside assistance in Central Ward
Central Ward gets the same response as the rest of Newark: a dispatcher who quotes roadside assistance on the call, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Central Ward and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Downtown or the far side of Newark: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch for roadside assistance.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for roadside assistance in Newark: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Routes 1 & 9
Roughly 305,000 people live in Newark, and roadside assistance here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Newark Penn Station, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots, and the stranger whose car quit on Routes 1 & 9.
The largest city in the state and the one with the most ways to break down: airport and port traffic on the east side, dense street parking and parking decks downtown and in the Ironbound, and residential wards on the hills to the west and south. Fleet vans, delivery trucks, rideshares and commuter cars all share the same streets with tractor-trailers headed for Port Newark. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Commuters in Newark and the lot at Newark Penn Station
The lot at Newark Penn Station is where Newark batteries die: a car sits ten hours, the lights were left on, and at 7 p.m. it is dark and cold. A technician meets you at the car, and if the roadside assistance does not solve it, the tow is sent from the same call. Commuters need one thing above all: a real arrival time, and they get one.
Families in the residential streets of Newark
Family calls come from driveways and school lots: the minivan that will not start before pickup, the second car that sat too long, the teenager's first flat. Street parking everywhere, parking decks downtown and around Penn Station, open surface lots at the airport and the port. Decks under seven feet keep flatbeds out, so we dolly to the entrance, and double-parked blocks in the Ironbound slow the approach. The tech knows the streets and where to stop the truck. Kids and pets stay with you; the tech works around them.
Newark businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots and Port Newark and the container terminals the calls come from work vehicles: a plumber's van, a florist's car, a landscaper's pickup with a trailer behind it. A business gets the same flat roadside assistance price and the same tech, plus a receipt that goes straight into the books. Fleet accounts get one invoice a month; ask the dispatcher.
Passing through Newark on Routes 1 & 9 when the car quit
Half of the roadside assistance calls from Newark are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Routes 1 & 9 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. The tech reaches you on the shoulder with the truck's lights between you and traffic.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Routes 1 & 9: everyone in Newark calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance explainedHow the season changes roadside assistance in Newark: what breaks on Routes 1 & 9 and I-78 in January, April, July and October
The trucks run to Newark in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Routes 1 & 9 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. The Ironbound and the streets near the Passaic River flood in heavy rain; the I-280 and Turnpike ramps ice before the local streets do.
Ask a dispatcher what Newark sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Newark Penn Station in January, bent wheels off I-78 in April, overheated cars on Routes 1 & 9 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from roadside assistance in each season in this corner of Essex County.
Winter in Newark: what freezes, what slides and what will not start
Winter roadside is batteries: the first cold morning below twenty degrees doubles the jump-start calls before 8 a.m. In Newark 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 roadside assistance in Newark after the thaw
Spring roadside is flats from potholes and the occasional lockout when a coat pocket swallows the key. The spring calls cluster around Newark Liberty International Airport and its long-term lots and along Routes 1 & 9, 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.
Roadside assistance in Newark in July and August
Summer roadside is heat-killed batteries, tires blown at speed and cars that overheated in traffic. Holiday weekends load Routes 1 & 9 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Fall roadside assistance in Newark: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall roadside is dead batteries after the first cold night and fuel runs from drivers caught out by early darkness. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Newark; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Newark.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Newark. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Call nowEssex County towingWhat Newark drivers want to know about roadside assistance, price and where the car goes
Arrival time to Newark, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
How long will I wait for roadside assistance in Newark?
The van is about 15 minutes from Linden, coming in via NJ Turnpike Exit 13A. Rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher tells you the honest window rather than a hopeful one.
Can I call without being a member?
No. There is no plan to join and no annual fee. You call from Newark, the technician comes, and you pay for the one service you needed.
What do you charge for a roadside call in Newark?
A single number for whichever service you need, given before the van leaves Linden for Newark. There is no surcharge for the hour, the day or the weather.
Does my insurance cover an out-of-network roadside call?
Most plans reimburse an out-of-network roadside call up to their limit. The itemized receipt we hand you has what their form asks for.
What happens if the roadside fix fails?
The dispatcher tells you the tow price on the same call and the flatbed is sent to Newark. You pay the tow, not the tow plus a second callout.
Is a diesel or a hybrid a problem for roadside?
Yes. A hybrid is jumped at its 12-volt auxiliary, the packs carry enough current for a diesel, and a push-button car with the fob inside opens the same damage-free way as any other in Newark.
What do I do while waiting on Routes 1 & 9?
Stay in the car, belted, with the hazards on, unless the car is in a dangerous spot. Tell the dispatcher your direction and the nearest cross street or exit. The truck parks between you and traffic before the technician gets out.
Do you make car keys?
We do not cut keys. If the key is inside the car we open it; if the key is gone, the car rides a flatbed to a dealer or locksmith of your choice near Newark.
Can I pay with Apple Pay or a card at the car?
Yes: all major cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the car, as well as cash.
Do you answer at 3 a.m. in Newark?
Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the price is the same at 3 a.m. on a holiday as on a weekday afternoon.
