24/7 roadside assistance in Union, NJ: jump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel without a membership
A flat on Route 22, keys on the seat at Kean University, a battery that died overnight in Union Center. None of those needs a tow truck; they need a technician with the right tool, and ours is about 12 minutes from Linden with one flat price per fix and no membership card to show.
Why Union drivers call us for roadside assistance before anyone else
In Union, roadside assistance means a technician from Linden, about 12 minutes out, who jumps batteries, changes flats, opens locked cars and delivers fuel at a flat price per service; there is no membership, and if the fix will not work the tow is quoted on the same call.
The four calls that are almost never a tow: the battery that died in the lot at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane, the flat on Route 22, the keys locked in the car at Kean University, the tank that ran dry on I-78. A technician from Linden handles all four at one flat price each. If the fix does not hold, the truck is sent from the same call.
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. That is where the technician goes: to the car, wherever it is sitting, with the tool for the job already on the truck.
Why Union drivers call us instead of a roadside plan
Roadside plans sell peace of mind and then page whichever contractor accepts the job, which is why the wait on Route 22 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 Union, about 12 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 Union 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 Kean University 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.
From Kean University to Union Center: the Union roadside map
Driveways in the neighborhoods, huge open lots on Route 22 and at Kean; a few tight garages at the apartment complexes near the Parkway. Each kind of spot produces its own call: lots like Kean University yield dead batteries and locked-in keys, Route 22 and I-78 yield flats and empty tanks, and the driveways of Union Center 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
Sometimes the fix is not enough: the battery fails the load test, the spare is flat too, the engine will not catch even with fuel in it. Roughly one call in three ends with a tow, and when it does you hear the tow price at the car. The flatbed comes to Union on the same call, and there is no second dispatch fee for it.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in UnionWhat happens when you call for roadside help in Union
Describe the spot in Union and the problem, hear the service named and priced, get a real arrival window, and wait for the technician from Linden; most calls end with you driving off, and the rest end with a tow quoted at the car.
Step one: tell dispatch where to find you
The dispatcher wants the direction and nearest cross street on Route 22, the address and neighborhood, Union Center or Vauxhall, on a side street, the section at Kean University in a lot, and the level in a garage. The van gets into tight places; it cannot get to a car nobody described.
Step two: describe the problem, not the service
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 Union.
Step three: the price before the van leaves Linden
Each roadside service is one price in Union. It does not change at night, on a holiday or in a storm. Fuel delivered is added at cost. You hear the number and say yes or no. If the fix will not work, the dispatcher tells you the tow price on the same call.
Step four: van at the car, truck shielding the scene
You get a call a few minutes before he arrives. On Route 22 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: drive away, or the flatbed comes
Most Union roadside calls end with you driving. If the battery tests dead, the spare is unusable or the car will not restart, the flatbed is dispatched from the same call to the shop you choose. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash, and an itemized receipt either way.
The road, the nearest cross street and the make and model: with those three things the dispatcher quotes roadside assistance in Union on the spot.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of a roadside assistance call in Union: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the repair on the spot
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 12 minutes for the technician to reach Union from Linden, and under twenty minutes of work at the car before you are driving again in most cases.
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.
The first minute: what the dispatcher asks when you call from Union
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 Union (the road and direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as Garden State Parkway Exit 139, or the name of the lot), the make and model, what happened, and what you have already tried. If you are on the shoulder of Route 22, say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
The quote and the dispatch, before the third minute
Once the dispatcher has the location, the vehicle and the problem, you hear a single price. A roadside job is one flat price for the service, and it holds on scene. If you agree, the nearest available truck is assigned before you hang up, and the arrival window you are given comes from where that truck really is, not from a billboard on Route 22. You pay nothing until the job is finished.
While the truck is on its way to Union
The route in is Route 22 and Garden State Parkway, coming off at Garden State Parkway Exit 139. That is about 12 minutes 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. Take a photo of the car where it sits and note the nearest sign or cross street; it helps the driver find you and it helps later if an insurer asks.
On scene in Union: the roadside assistance itself
First the technician checks your name and takes a photo of the car as it sits, then the work starts. Most roadside assistance jobs in Union are done in under twenty minutes, and the tech tells you straight whether the fix will hold or whether the car needs a shop. You see the fix work before you pay for it.
After: the receipt and what to do next
The last step is the receipt, sent by text or email with the service and the price quoted on the call itemized, which is the document an insurer or a roadside plan asks for when you claim it back. 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. For the full picture of towing in Union, see all towing in Union.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a technician in Union in about 12 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Union: roadside assistance response on Route 22, Garden State Parkway, I-78 and Morris Avenue
From Linden we reach Union by Route 22, Garden State Parkway and I-78, using Garden State Parkway Exit 139, Garden State Parkway Exit 140, Garden State Parkway Exit 140A and I-78 Exit 50 (Union / Vauxhall), and we provide roadside assistance 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.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Union. The notes are what they actually know about each one. When you call for roadside assistance, say the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
Route 22 through Union: roadside assistance on the road and off it
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. A roadside call on Route 22 is one flat price, the same as a driveway in Union; only the arrival window depends on where you are.
Garden State Parkway at Union: the Authority's garage first, then roadside assistance 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 through Union: roadside assistance on the road and off it
Runs along the northern edge with the express and local lanes; breakdowns near the Parkway interchange. If police are with you on I-78, tell the dispatcher; the technician coordinates with them on where to stop.
Morris Avenue: roadside assistance response in Union
The old main street from Elizabeth through Union Center to Springfield; buses and tight parking. 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.
Stuyvesant Avenue / Chestnut Street: roadside assistance response in Union
Cross-town connectors between Union Center and Vauxhall. 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.
Roadside assistance on Vauxhall Road in Union
Northern connector toward Millburn and Maplewood. A roadside call on Vauxhall Road is one flat price, the same as a driveway in Union; only the arrival window depends on where you are.
Union by exit number
Our drivers reach Union by Garden State Parkway Exit 139, Garden State Parkway Exit 140, Garden State Parkway Exit 140A and I-78 Exit 50 (Union / Vauxhall). 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 UnionRoadside assistance at the places Union drivers stop: Overlook Hospital annex and medical offices, Galloping Hill Golf Course and Kean University and the Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane lot

Overlook Hospital annex and medical offices: roadside assistance response

Galloping Hill Golf Course: roadside assistance response
At Galloping Hill Golf Course the technician is about 12 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 when the car stops at Kean University
Kean University produces the classic Union roadside calls: a battery that died while you shopped, keys locked in the car at the door, a tire that went flat in the lot. A technician reaches you in about 12 minutes from Linden and fixes it at the car.
Route 22 retail and dealer row: roadside assistance response
Route 22 retail and dealer row produces the classic Union roadside calls: a battery that died while you shopped, keys locked in the car at the door, a tire that went flat in the lot. A technician reaches you in about 12 minutes from Linden and fixes it at the car.
Roadside assistance at Union Center business district
A car that will not start at Union Center business district 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.
Union Plaza / Route 22 shopping centers: roadside assistance response
At Union Plaza / Route 22 shopping centers the technician is about 12 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.
The station lots at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane and Kean University shuttle lots: roadside assistance for commuters
A commuter coming back to Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane and Kean University shuttle lots 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.
Stuck at Overlook Hospital annex and medical offices or another of these places? Give the name and the lot section, and the truck or the technician heads out.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in UnionThe roadside calls that come from Union
From Union the technician handles dead batteries at Kean University and in Union Center driveways, flats on Route 22, keys locked in cars at stores and gas pumps, tanks run dry on I-78, battery checks before winter, and cars stuck in snow or mud.
No crank at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane or in Union Center
The technician carries a lithium pack rated for diesels and hybrids, starts the car, then loads the battery to see if it will hold. A battery that is done gets a straight answer and a tow quote to your shop from the same call. Details on jump starts in Union.
Tire changes across Union
The technician brings a floor jack, an impact gun, sockets for locking lugs and a torque wrench, and parks the truck between you and traffic on Route 22 first. If the spare is flat or missing, the tow to a tire shop is quoted at the car. See flat tire change in Union.
Lockouts at Kean University, Route 22 retail and dealer row and the pumps
Locked out at Kean University or a gas pump on Route 22, 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 Union.
Out of gas or diesel in Union
The technician brings enough gas or diesel to get you to the nearest station from I-78, and primes a diesel that ran completely dry. If the wrong fuel went in, leave the engine off; the car is towed to be drained. See fuel delivery in Union.
Stuck in snow, mud or a ditch
Route 22 underpasses and the Elizabeth River near Vauxhall Road flood in heavy rain; the I-78 ramps ice early. A straight pull from solid ground gets the car back on the road, and most of the time the job ends there. More at winch out in Union.
A load test in your Union Center driveway before winter
If the car has been hesitating in the morning, have the battery tested at the car before the first hard freeze in Union. The technician loads the battery and reads the alternator; a weak reading now beats a dead car on Route 22 in January.
One call covers every situation above in Union; describe it, and the right truck or tech is sent.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance explainedHow much roadside assistance costs in Union, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Roadside assistance in Union is priced per service at a flat rate you hear before the technician rolls; there is no membership, no surcharge for nights, weekends or holidays, fuel is charged at cost, and a tow is added only when the fix fails, at a price quoted at the car.
One flat price per service in Union
Each service, jump, tire, lockout, fuel or winch-out, is a single flat price for Union, and it is the same on Route 22 at 2 a.m. as in a Union Center driveway at noon. The dispatcher quotes it before the technician leaves Linden, and there is no charge for asking.
The tow, priced at the car, no second callout
A failed fix means a tow quote on the spot: hook fee plus the miles to your shop on Route 22 or anywhere else. The flatbed is sent from the same conversation, and there is no second callout charge for Union.
How a Union roadside call is paid
Pay at the car with any major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. The receipt itemizes where in Union the service was done, what it was and what it cost, which are the fields a roadside plan's reimbursement form requires.
The reason this page has no roadside assistance price table for Union
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 Union.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for roadside assistance in Union: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 22
Roughly 60,000 people live in Union, and roadside assistance here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Kean University, and the stranger whose car quit 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 roadside assistance for its own reasons.
Commuters in Union and the lot at Union station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) at Green Lane
A Union commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Route 22 in the morning rush. We come to it wherever it stopped, and the roadside assistance is done on the spot. Most commuter calls are quoted and dispatched in under three minutes.
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. Roadside assistance is a flat price, and the tech carries what the job needs. 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 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.
Drivers passing through Union on Route 22
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Union have never heard of it; they were on Route 22 heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as Garden State Parkway Exit 139, and the truck finds you. If the roadside fix does not hold, the tow is quoted from the same call, with no second call-out.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 22: everyone in Union 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 Union: what breaks on Route 22 and I-78 in January, April, July and October
The trucks run to Union in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Route 22 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Route 22 underpasses and the Elizabeth River near Vauxhall Road flood in heavy rain; the I-78 ramps ice early.
The same trucks serve Union in every month, but Route 22 in January is a different road from Route 22 in July. This is how the season changes the roadside assistance calls we get from Union, and how we prepare for each.
Roadside assistance in Union in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
Winter roadside is batteries: the first cold morning below twenty degrees doubles the jump-start calls before 8 a.m. 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.
Pothole season in Union: March and April on I-78
Spring roadside is flats from potholes and the occasional lockout when a coat pocket swallows the key. I-78 and the side streets off it break up every March; a car that hit a hole and now vibrates or pulls should not be driven to the shop.
Summer roadside assistance in Union: heat, traffic and holiday weekends
Summer roadside is heat-killed batteries, tires blown at speed and cars that overheated in traffic. 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.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Union
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 Union; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Union.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Union. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.

Call nowUnion County towingRoadside assistance in Union: the questions drivers ask before calling
Arrival time to Union, 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 Union?
The van is about 12 minutes from Linden, coming in via Garden State Parkway Exit 139. Rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher tells you the honest window rather than a hopeful one.
Do I need a membership to call you in Union?
None. Anyone in Union can call, get a quote and have a technician sent. Asking the price is free and joining nothing is required.
What do you charge for a roadside call in Union?
Each service has one flat price the dispatcher quotes on the call: jump start, tire change, lockout, fuel delivery, winch-out. No surcharges at night, on weekends or on holidays.
Will my AAA or insurance roadside plan reimburse you?
Usually, up to the plan's limit. The receipt lists the Union location, the service and the price, which is what the reimbursement form wants.
What happens if the roadside fix fails?
No. If the technician cannot fix it at the curb in Union Center or wherever the car sits, he quotes the tow to your shop and the flatbed is sent on the same call. One bill, no 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 Union.
I am on the shoulder of Route 22. What should I do?
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.
I lost my key, not locked it in. Can you help?
No. We open a car with the keys inside without damage. A lost key means a tow from Union to a dealer or an automotive locksmith.
Do you take cards in Union?
Of course. The technician takes cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on the spot, whether the car is at Kean University or in a Union Center driveway.
Do you answer at 3 a.m. in Union?
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.
Something not answered here? Ask the dispatcher; the answer takes a sentence and the quote takes another.
