Tow truck near you in Dunellen, NJ: 28 minutes from our Linden dispatch, 24 hours a day
From Linden, roughly 28 minutes away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Dunellen 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
Our trucks reach Dunellen in roughly 28 minutes. That makes it our second response zone, and it shapes everything below. A one-square-mile commuter borough with a Raritan Valley Line station at its center, a small North Avenue downtown, and tight residential blocks on either side of the tracks. Commuter cars in the station lot and on the street.
This page is built for one person: the driver in Dunellen whose car just stopped. It covers the roads we come in on, the spots in town where cars die most, how a tow works on Dunellen's streets, the price, and the towns next door. Stuck now? Call (908) 444-0129. Dispatch answers 24/7 and the price is quoted first.
A local towing company 28 minutes from Dunellen
We do not list every town in New Jersey; we list the ones a truck from Linden can reach inside 45 minutes and quote honestly. Dunellen is roughly 28 minutes out by Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), Washington Avenue and Lincoln Avenue / Jackson Avenue, and the dispatcher builds your arrival window from where the nearest available truck actually is, not from a slogan. Rush hour and storms stretch it, and you are told so on the call.
What the driver plans for before he reaches Dunellen
Street parking and small driveways; the station lot is the borough's dead-battery spot. A flatbed can load anywhere but often has to work between parked cars. The dispatcher asks about it on the call so the truck is positioned right the first time instead of blocking a Dunellen street while the driver works out an approach.
The Dunellen spots that produce the most tow calls
The calls cluster where the cars are: North Avenue downtown, Columbia Park, Dunellen Theatre area and Dunellen station, and the lots at Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots. Station lots make dead batteries, retail lots make lockouts, Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) makes breakdowns and collisions, and every winter adds cars off the shoulder of Washington Avenue.
Flat towing prices in Dunellen, quoted before the truck rolls
Every tow from Dunellen is priced the same way: a hook fee, then mileage to the destination you choose, added up and quoted on the phone. A jump start or a lockout is a single flat price. The number does not change for a 3 a.m. call, a holiday or a passenger in the cab, and the receipt shows exactly what was quoted.
Broken down in Dunellen this minute? The rest of this page can wait. Dispatch picks up 24/7 and quotes the job before the truck leaves Linden.
Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Middlesex CountyThe roads into Dunellen: tow truck response on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), Washington Avenue, Lincoln Avenue / Jackson Avenue and Route 22
From Linden we reach Dunellen by Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), Washington Avenue and Lincoln Avenue / Jackson Avenue, using Route 22 at Washington Avenue (Green Brook) and I-287 at Bound Brook / Route 28, and we respond to breakdowns on every one of them.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Dunellen. The notes are what they actually know about each: where the shoulder is narrow, where the jughandle confuses GPS, which ramp ices first. When you call, say the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit; that is what puts the right truck on the right side of the road.
Towing on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) in Dunellen
The main road through downtown to Middlesex and Plainfield; angled parking and the rail crossing. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue); the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Washington Avenue breakdowns and tows in Dunellen
Cross-street from the station toward Green Brook and Route 22. A breakdown on Washington Avenue is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Dunellen: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Towing on Lincoln Avenue / Jackson Avenue in Dunellen
Residential connectors; tight and parked up. If you are on a shoulder of Lincoln Avenue / Jackson Avenue, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Route 22 breakdowns and tows in Dunellen
Reached via Green Brook just north; the nearest highway shoulder. If you are on a shoulder of Route 22, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Highway exits that serve Dunellen
Route 22 at Washington Avenue (Green Brook) and I-287 at Bound Brook / Route 28 are the exits our trucks use for Dunellen. A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets a truck on the right side of the road the first time. 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.
If you are on the side of Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) or any road near Dunellen: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEvery towing service we dispatch to Dunellen: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
From Linden to Dunellen, 24/7, we dispatch every towing service we offer, emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out, and each one is written up for Dunellen on the page linked below.
Towing in Dunellen is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), a box truck down near Dunellen station and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has a Dunellen-specific page with the details.
Dunellen emergency towing
A car dead on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) at 2 a.m. or in a Dunellen driveway before the school run gets the same answer: a real dispatcher, a flat quote and a truck from Linden in roughly 28 minutes. See emergency towing in Dunellen.
Flatbed Towing in Dunellen
All-wheel-drive SUVs, electric cars, lowered and luxury cars and anything that will not roll ride on a flatbed with all four wheels strapped at the tires. Street parking and small driveways; the station lot is the borough's dead-battery spot, so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Dunellen.
Accident Towing for Dunellen drivers
After a crash on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) or at a Dunellen intersection, calling your own tow before the police rotation truck arrives keeps you in control of where the car goes and what it costs. We recover, clear the lane, photograph the car for your insurer and deliver it to the body shop you choose. See accident towing in Dunellen.
Dunellen local towing
Shop transfers, dealer drops, a car bought online, a project car, a vehicle with expired plates that cannot be driven legally. A local tow from Dunellen is a hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled or immediate. Tows to shops in Dunellen or the next town usually stay inside the base mileage. See local towing in Dunellen.
Long Distance Towing for Dunellen drivers
From Dunellen to the shore, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut or a buyer three states away: one flatbed, one driver and one quoted price that includes the hook, the mileage, tolls and the return leg. Same-day, not a week waiting for a carrier slot. See long distance towing in Dunellen.
Dunellen motorcycle towing
Bikes from Dunellen ride upright on the flatbed in a locking front-wheel chock with soft-loop straps, never a sling. Breakdowns on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), a bike that sat all winter and will not turn over, or a crash recovery with photos for insurance. See motorcycle towing in Dunellen.
Heavy Duty Towing for Dunellen drivers
A box truck stalled near Dunellen station, a landscaping rig with a trailer on Washington Avenue, a bus or a tractor working Dunellen: each needs a truck rated for its weight, and the dispatcher picks it from the GVWR you give. Whether it is loaded and whether it rolls decides the rigging. Fleets get one monthly invoice. See heavy duty towing in Dunellen.
Dunellen winch out
A car that left the pavement in Dunellen but is not broken is a winch-out: a snow bank at the end of a driveway, the soft shoulder of Washington Avenue, a ditch off a back road. The driver rigs to a proper recovery point, pulls the car straight back the way it went in, and you drive off; if it will not drive, the tow is quoted right there. See winch out in Dunellen.
You do not have to name the service. Describe the car and where it is in Dunellen, and dispatch chooses and prices the job.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside assistance near you in Dunellen: jump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel without a membership
For a dead battery, a flat, keys locked inside or an empty tank anywhere in Dunellen, a technician comes to the car at one flat price per service, and if it turns out to need a tow the flatbed is sent from the same call.
A tow is the last resort in Dunellen, not the first. A borough of 7,000 people breaks down in small ways far more often than big ones, and the technician carries the fix: a jump pack for the lot at Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots, a jack and an impact gun for a flat on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), lockout tools for North Avenue downtown, a fuel can for Washington Avenue. Most of those calls end with you driving away.
Dunellen roadside assistance
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Dunellen at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots keep us busy with dead batteries. North Avenue downtown keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Dunellen.
Dunellen jump start
A car that sat all day at Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots with a dome light on is the classic Dunellen jump-start call. Commercial lithium packs for cars, trucks, diesels and hybrids, then a load test so you know whether the battery will hold. See jump start in Dunellen.
Flat Tire Change in Dunellen
A flat on a Dunellen shoulder is no place to kneel next to traffic. We put the spare on safely or tow you to the tire shop. Wheel-lock removal sockets on the truck. See flat tire change in Dunellen.
Car Lockout for Dunellen drivers
Keys locked in the car at Dunellen station, at a pump on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), or in a Dunellen driveway at 6 a.m. Inflatable wedges and long-reach tools open the door without touching wiring or glass. Child or pet inside: call 911 and us, in that order. See car lockout in Dunellen.
Fuel Delivery for Dunellen drivers
Out of fuel in Dunellen, on Washington Avenue or in a driveway after the gauge lied all week: a few gallons of gas or diesel are delivered around the clock, enough to reach a station, and a diesel that ran dry is primed before it is restarted. Put the wrong fuel in? Do not start it; we tow it to be drained. See fuel delivery in Dunellen.
Dead battery, flat, locked out or out of gas in Dunellen? A tech is one call away, no membership.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in DunellenEvery Dunellen neighborhood gets the same truck: Station area, South side of the tracks, Washington Avenue section and Downtown / North Avenue
We tow and provide roadside help in every part of Dunellen, including Station area, South side of the tracks, Washington Avenue section and Downtown / North Avenue, at the same flat quoted price.
Ask a driver where in Dunellen the car is and he wants a neighborhood, not just a street number. Street parking and small driveways; the station lot is the borough's dead-battery spot. A flatbed can load anywhere but often has to work between parked cars.
Tow truck in Station area, Dunellen
Calls from Station area are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Dunellen: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Station area; it is faster than a house number on a long Dunellen block.
Tow truck in South side of the tracks, Dunellen
Calls from South side of the tracks are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Dunellen: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in South side of the tracks; it is faster than a house number on a long Dunellen block.
Towing and roadside help in Washington Avenue section
Calls from Washington Avenue section are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Dunellen: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Washington Avenue section; it is faster than a house number on a long Dunellen block.
Downtown / North Avenue: what a tow looks like here
Calls from Downtown / North Avenue are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Dunellen: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Downtown / North Avenue; it is faster than a house number on a long Dunellen block.
Anywhere in Dunellen, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWhere we get called in Dunellen: Columbia Park, Dunellen Theatre area and Dunellen station and the roads between them
The most common Dunellen pickup points are Columbia Park, Dunellen Theatre area, Dunellen station and North Avenue downtown and the lots at Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots; a truck or a technician reaches any of them in roughly 28 minutes.
Columbia Park: tow truck and roadside response
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Columbia Park gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Dunellen.
Dunellen Theatre area: tow truck and roadside response
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Dunellen Theatre area gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Dunellen.
Dunellen station: tow truck and roadside response
We reach Dunellen station in roughly 28 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Dunellen station so you can meet him at the car. If the car cannot roll it is winched onto the flatbed; if it is in a spot at Dunellen station the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Breakdowns and roadside help at North Avenue downtown
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, North Avenue downtown gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Dunellen.
Jump starts and lockouts at the station lots: Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots
Commuter lots are dead-battery country: a dome light left on at 7 a.m. is a car that will not start at 7 p.m. A technician with a commercial jump pack meets you at the car, starts it and load-tests the battery so you know whether it will hold. Keys locked in the car at the station are opened without damage in minutes. Both are one flat price; see jump starts in Dunellen and car lockouts in Dunellen.
If you are at one of these Dunellen spots now, say which one and where in the lot; a truck or a tech is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Jump start in DunellenWhat a good towing company in Dunellen does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
Five checks separate a straight towing company in Dunellen from an expensive one: the whole price up front, a real arrival window from Linden, the car delivered where you say, a receipt that lists every charge, and no truck that turns up uninvited on the shoulder of Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue).
A tow is a purchase made under stress. These five checks take a minute and separate a straight company from an expensive surprise, in Dunellen or anywhere else.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
The price for a tow is knowable on the phone: the truck the car needs and the miles to where it is going. A company that says "the driver will tell you" is planning to tell you when the car is already on the truck. We quote hook plus mileage, or one flat price for a roadside job, and the number on the receipt matches. The details are in the pricing section.
Ask where the truck actually is right now
When the answer to "where is the truck" is vague, the truck is probably not theirs. Ours leave Linden, which is 28 minutes from Dunellen off-peak across Middlesex County, and the dispatcher knows the position of the closest one before quoting the window. Rush hour and storms stretch it, and you hear so on the call rather than on the shoulder. Every drive time on this page comes from that distance; see the roads section.
Make sure the car goes where you say
You choose the destination: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Dunellen or over the line in Middlesex. A company that nudges you toward "our shop" or "our lot" is setting up a second bill for storage or repairs. This matters most after an accident in Dunellen, when the pressure to accept whatever is suggested is highest; you do not have to.
The fourth rule: only the truck you called
Trucks that appear uninvited at a crash on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) or the highways around Dunellen are chasing the job, and the invoice that follows is the reason the state regulates non-consensual tows. Our driver identifies the company and says your name on arrival. If another truck gets there first, say no and wait; that is your right.
Ask for a receipt that lists every charge
The receipt should show the hook fee, the mileage, both addresses, the time and the plate; that is what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan reads before reimbursing you, and it is your record if a charge is ever disputed. Ours arrives by text or email when the car is dropped. Any question afterward goes to the same dispatcher at (908) 444-0129, not a billing department. More on contacting dispatch.
Put the five questions to us. Every answer is already on this page, and the dispatcher gives the same ones out loud.
Call and askService areaHow much a tow costs in Dunellen, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Towing in Dunellen is priced as a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, quoted before dispatch; each roadside service has one flat price; nothing is added for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
The two numbers in a Dunellen tow
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Dunellen to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Dunellen itself or in Middlesex usually falls within the base mileage; a tow across the county is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher adds the two and gives you one total.
One price per roadside job in Dunellen
Each roadside service in Dunellen, a jump start, a tire change, a lockout, a fuel delivery or a winch-out, carries a single price that is the same at 3 a.m., on a Sunday and in the middle of a storm. Delivered fuel is charged at cost on top. When a roadside job turns out to need the flatbed, you pay for the tow alone, not for a second call-out.
What is never on a Dunellen towing bill
The list of things we do not charge for in Dunellen is longer than the list of things we do: no fuel surcharge, no night or holiday rate, no fee for a passenger, no paperwork fee, no storage because the car goes to your shop rather than our yard. If a driver ever quotes something different from what dispatch said, call dispatch from the scene and it is settled there.
Paying for a tow in Dunellen and getting reimbursed
Pay by any major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car; fleet accounts run on net terms. The receipt itemizes the Dunellen pickup, the drop-off, the miles and the service, which is exactly what an insurer or a roadside plan asks for. An accident tow is almost always covered under collision, and most roadside memberships pay back an out-of-network call up to their limit.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of a tow from Dunellen. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Dunellen through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue)
The trucks run to Dunellen in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Green Brook floodplain on the northern edge floods in major storms.
Ask a dispatcher what Dunellen sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots in January, bent wheels off Washington Avenue in April, overheated cars on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Middlesex County.
Towing in Dunellen in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
Winter emergency tows are mostly cars that slid, stalled in a drift or died at a light in the cold; the flatbed carries chains and a snatch block for the ones that left the pavement. The first storm of the year is the busiest night in Dunellen; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) has a car on it.
Spring towing in Dunellen after the thaw
Spring brings suspension and tire damage from potholes; a car that hit one hard and now pulls or clunks should ride a flatbed rather than be driven. The spring calls cluster around Dunellen station and along Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), 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.
Towing in Dunellen in July and August
Summer emergencies are overheating and blown tires at speed; pull off, hood closed, and let the truck bring it to a shop before the head gasket goes. Holiday weekends load Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) 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 Dunellen
In the fall the calls shift to deer strikes at dusk and wet-leaf spins on the ramps; both end with a flatbed and a body shop. Deer cross Washington Avenue and the quieter roads of Dunellen around Downtown / North Avenue at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Dunellen with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Dunellen. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in DunellenWhat to do while you wait for a tow truck in Dunellen: shoulders on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue), driveways, lots and garages
Get the car as far out of traffic as it will roll, hazards on, stay belted inside unless the car itself is in danger, keep your phone charged for the driver's call, and have the key, license and registration ready.
Shoulder stop near Dunellen: Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) or Washington Avenue
If it will roll, roll it: fully onto the shoulder, or off at the next exit if one is close. Wheels turned away from traffic, hazards on. The safest place is inside the car with the belt on, unless the car itself is at risk, in which case stand behind the guardrail well away from it. The main road through downtown to Middlesex and Plainfield; angled parking and the rail crossing. Decline any truck you did not call; our driver gives the company name and yours.
On a residential street or in a driveway in Dunellen
Street parking and small driveways; the station lot is the borough's dead-battery spot. A flatbed can load anywhere but often has to work between parked cars. Before the truck arrives, move bikes, cans and the other car out of the driver's way, unlock the car and have the key ready. If the street has alternate-side rules or a sweeping schedule, tell the dispatcher and we get the car out ahead of the ticket.
In a parking lot or under a deck in Dunellen
Give the name of the place, the lot section or the level of the garage, and the clearance on the sign if you can see one. Most decks are too low for a flatbed, so the car is brought to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded in the open. If you can, wait at the car, and take your things out of it before it goes on the truck.
The driver's call and the documents he will ask for
A few minutes before he arrives the driver calls, so you know which truck is yours. Keep the license, the registration and the insurance card handy; after a lockout we check them before leaving. The itemized receipt comes at the destination. A Dunellen note: Green Brook floodplain on the northern edge floods in major storms.
Belt on, hazards on, phone charged. Make the call; the driver rings you before he reaches Dunellen.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in DunellenWho calls for towing in Dunellen: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue)
The towing calls from Dunellen come from a borough of about 7,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Dunellen station, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue).
A one-square-mile commuter borough with a Raritan Valley Line station at its center, a small North Avenue downtown, and tight residential blocks on either side of the tracks. Commuter cars in the station lot and on the street. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
The commuter's car in Dunellen: Dunellen station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and its lots and the roads to it
A Dunellen commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) 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.
Dunellen households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
A borough of about 7,000 people means thousands of family driveways, and the family car fails on a schedule: before school pickup, on the way to practice, the morning of a trip. Street parking and small driveways; the station lot is the borough's dead-battery spot. A flatbed can load anywhere but often has to work between parked cars. The truck arrives set up for the driveway, and the passengers ride in the cab. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Businesses and fleets near Dunellen station and North Avenue downtown
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Dunellen station cannot sit for a day. A small business in Dunellen gets the same dispatcher and the same flat quote, plus an itemized receipt that works for the books. Larger trucks are a heavy-duty job in Dunellen, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Drivers passing through Dunellen on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue)
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Dunellen have never heard of it; they were on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as Route 22 at Washington Avenue (Green Brook), and the truck finds you. The car can go to a shop here, to your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area, quoted as one number.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue): everyone in Dunellen calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Roughly 28 minutes, off-peak, from Linden to Dunellen (zone 2, 20–35 minutes). When Route 28 (North Avenue / Washington Avenue) is jammed or the weather is bad the window grows, and you hear the honest number when you call, not a slogan.
How is a tow from Dunellen priced?
Two numbers, a flat hook fee and mileage to your destination, added up and quoted before dispatch. A short tow to a Dunellen shop or one in a neighboring town usually stays within the base mileage; roadside services are each one flat price; there is no surcharge for the hour, the day or fuel.
Can I bring my car to you in Dunellen?
No. We are a mobile service-area business dispatched from Linden, 28 minutes away. There is no shop to drive to; the truck comes to your car anywhere in Dunellen.
Is a flatbed available in Dunellen for AWD and EVs?
Yes, and always on a flatbed, because dragging the drive wheels of an AWD or an EV damages it. Give the dispatcher the make and model and the flatbed is sent the first time. See flatbed towing in Dunellen.
Where will you take my car from Dunellen?
The destination is yours: a mechanic, a dealership, a body shop, home, inside Dunellen or well outside it. The car never goes to a yard of our choosing. Runs past the 45-minute area are quoted by the mile.
My car is in a parking garage or a tight lot in Dunellen. Can you get it?
Yes. Street parking and small driveways; the station lot is the borough's dead-battery spot. A flatbed can load anywhere but often has to work between parked cars. A flatbed does not fit under most decks, so the car is moved to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded outside. Tell the dispatcher the place and the level.
Can I ride in the tow truck from Dunellen?
Usually, yes: one passenger rides in the cab to the destination. Let the dispatcher know how many people are with the car so the driver plans for it.
Do you require a roadside plan or insurance in Dunellen?
No membership and no insurance required. Call, the truck comes, and you pay on site by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. The itemized receipt is what most insurers and roadside plans need to reimburse an out-of-network tow.
Do I need a tow if the car in Dunellen only needs a jump or a tire?
Tell the dispatcher, or just describe what the car is doing and let dispatch decide. A roadside technician costs less than a tow and usually gets you driving again on the spot. See roadside assistance in Dunellen.
The police in Dunellen already called a rotation tow. Can you still take the car?
Usually. If our truck can arrive within a reasonable time and the car is not blocking traffic, most officers release it to the tow of your choice; tell the officer yours is coming. If the car has already gone to a rotation yard, we pick it up on a signed release and stop the storage fees that day. See accident towing in Dunellen.
Are you open overnight and on holidays in Dunellen?
Around the clock, every day. Dispatch never closes, and the price structure for Dunellen does not change for the hour, the weekend or the holiday.
Which towns near Dunellen do you also cover?
Middlesex, Green Brook, Plainfield, South Plainfield, Piscataway and North Plainfield for a start, and beyond them every town inside 45 minutes of Linden across Middlesex County and eight more counties; every one has its own page.
