A tow truck near you in Edgewater: dispatched from Linden, 44 minutes away, around the clock
From Linden, about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Edgewater 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
A narrow waterfront borough at the foot of the Palisades: River Road's luxury towers, shopping centers and the ferry landing, with steep roads climbing to Cliffside Park and Fort Lee. Garage calls in the towers, River Road crashes, and hill winch-outs. From the Linden yard, Edgewater is about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, so it sits in the outer ring of our 45-minute area.
Everything an Edgewater driver needs to know before calling a tow truck is here, in the order you need it: how fast, how much, which truck, where we go. Or skip it and call (908) 444-0129; a real dispatcher picks up at any hour and quotes the job before the truck rolls.
How close our trucks really are to Edgewater
Edgewater is one of the Bergen County towns a Linden truck reaches inside 45 minutes, which is the only reason it is on this site. The drive is about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour by River Road (Route 505), Gorge Road and Route 5, off at GWB approach via Route 5 and Fort Lee, and the arrival window the dispatcher gives you comes from where the nearest truck is at that moment. If River Road (Route 505) is backed up, you hear that, not a guess.
How Edgewater's streets and parking change a tow
Tower garages with low clearance, shopping-center lots and tight street parking on River Road. Most tower calls are dollied to the garage entrance. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is in Edgewater and the driver arrives with the right rigging out: boards for a low bumper, skates for a nose-in spot, a dolly for a wheel that will not turn.
The Edgewater spots that produce the most tow calls
Most Edgewater calls come from a short list of places: Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers, Edgewater ferry landing, Veterans Field, Hudson River waterfront and River Road luxury towers, and the lots at Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots and NJ Transit buses on River Road. Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on River Road (Route 505), and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
Flat towing prices in Edgewater, quoted before the truck rolls
A tow in Edgewater is a flat hook fee plus mileage to the destination you name. Roadside services such as a jump start or a lockout are one flat price each. The dispatcher quotes the total on the call, and the receipt matches it. No night surcharge, no fuel surcharge, no passenger fee.

Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Bergen CountyTow truck service on River Road (Route 505), Gorge Road, Route 5 and Hudson Terrace (via Fort Lee): the roads we run to reach Edgewater
Our route from Linden to Edgewater runs River Road (Route 505), Gorge Road and Route 5, coming off at GWB approach via Route 5 and Fort Lee and Routes 1 & 9 via Route 5 / Fort Lee, and a breakdown on any of those roads is a direct dispatch.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Edgewater. 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.
Tow truck response on River Road (Route 505), Edgewater
The only through-road, running the length of the borough; congested, with constant lot merges and crashes. On River Road (Route 505) we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Tow truck response on Gorge Road, Edgewater
The steep climb to Cliffside Park; ices first. If you are on a shoulder of Gorge Road, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Tow truck response on Route 5, Edgewater
The hill road up to Fort Lee and Palisade Avenue; steep with hairpin turns. On Route 5 we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Towing on Hudson Terrace (via Fort Lee) in Edgewater
The connector to the GWB. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Hudson Terrace (via Fort Lee); the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
The exits our trucks take for Edgewater
Our drivers reach Edgewater by GWB approach via Route 5 and Fort Lee and Routes 1 & 9 via Route 5 / Fort Lee. 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. 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.
Stopped on a shoulder near Edgewater? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEight towing services dispatched to Edgewater: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
Emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out: all eight run to Edgewater from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Edgewater page below.
Towing in Edgewater is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on River Road (Route 505), a box truck down near River Road luxury towers and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has an Edgewater-specific page with the details.
Emergency Towing in Edgewater
Emergency towing in Edgewater means the car is not moving and you need it gone now: from Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers, from a driveway in River Road south, from the shoulder of Gorge Road. The dispatcher quotes the tow, the nearest truck is assigned while you are on the line, and it costs the same at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m. See emergency towing in Edgewater.
Flatbed Towing for Edgewater drivers
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. Tower garages with low clearance, shopping-center lots and tight street parking on River Road, so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Edgewater.
Accident Towing for Edgewater drivers
After a crash on River Road (Route 505) or at an Edgewater 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 Edgewater.
Edgewater local towing
Not every tow is an emergency. Edgewater repair shops and dealers use us for customer pickups and transfers, and residents use us to move a car that runs but should not be driven. Flat quoted rate. See local towing in Edgewater.
Long Distance Towing for Edgewater drivers
A car leaving Edgewater for another state, a college campus or a buyer who found it online rides on one flatbed with one driver the whole way, at one price quoted before it is loaded: hook, mileage, tolls and the return leg included. Photos at pickup and at the drop. See long distance towing in Edgewater.
Motorcycle Towing for Edgewater drivers
Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in Edgewater get the chock, the soft loops and even fork compression so nothing walks on the deck. Tell the dispatcher the model. See motorcycle towing in Edgewater.
Edgewater heavy duty towing
Commercial vehicles break down in Edgewater like everywhere else, and a delivery window does not wait. Medium and heavy-duty response with the right truck the first time. Details on heavy duty towing in Edgewater.
Winch Out for Edgewater drivers
Stuck in snow, mud or a ditch in Edgewater but not damaged? That is a winch-out, not a tow, and it costs less. Straight pull, no bumper hooks, and the flatbed is already there if something is bent. See winch out in Edgewater.
You do not have to name the service. Describe the car and where it is in Edgewater, and dispatch chooses and prices the job.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside help in Edgewater without a membership: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery
Roadside assistance in Edgewater means a technician at your car in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour for a jump, a tire change, a lockout or fuel, each at a single flat price, with the flatbed dispatched from the same conversation if the car needs it after all.
A tow is the last resort in Edgewater, not the first. A borough of 14,000 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 Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots, a jack and an impact gun for a flat on River Road (Route 505), lockout tools for Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers, a fuel can for Gorge Road. Most of those calls end with you driving away.
Roadside Assistance for Edgewater drivers
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Edgewater at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots keep us busy with dead batteries. Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Edgewater.
Edgewater jump start
A car that sat all day at Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots with a dome light on is the classic Edgewater 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 Edgewater.
Flat Tire Change in Edgewater
Potholes on River Road (Route 505) and Gorge Road shred sidewalls and bend rims every spring. A tech installs your spare with a floor jack, an impact gun and 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 Edgewater.
Car Lockout in Edgewater
Damage-free lockouts anywhere in Edgewater, day or night, including trunks and push-button cars with the fob inside. We open the door; we do not cut keys. ID checked after entry. See car lockout in Edgewater.
Edgewater fuel delivery
Ran dry on River Road (Route 505) or in an Edgewater driveway with the needle on E since last night? Enough gas or diesel to reach the next station, delivered 24/7, with diesel priming help if the tank ran fully empty. Wrong fuel in the tank: do not start it; we tow it to be drained. See fuel delivery in Edgewater.
Battery dead, tire flat, keys inside or tank empty somewhere in Edgewater? A technician is dispatched from the same line as the trucks, membership not required.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in EdgewaterUndercliff Avenue, Hilliard Avenue, River Road south and River Road north and more: tow truck response in every part of Edgewater
Undercliff Avenue, Hilliard Avenue, River Road south, River Road north and Gorge Road: every section of Edgewater gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Ask a driver where in Edgewater the car is and he wants a neighborhood, not just a street number. Tower garages with low clearance, shopping-center lots and tight street parking on River Road. Most tower calls are dollied to the garage entrance.
Towing and roadside help in Undercliff Avenue
Calls from Undercliff Avenue are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Edgewater: 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 Undercliff Avenue; it is faster than a house number on a long Edgewater block.
Tow truck in Hilliard Avenue, Edgewater
Whether the car is in Hilliard Avenue or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Hilliard Avenue matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Tow truck in River Road south, Edgewater
In River Road south the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A River Road south driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get a different approach, and knowing before he leaves Linden means the right rigging is on the truck. Everything else is the same in River Road south as in the rest of Edgewater: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Tow truck in River Road north, Edgewater
Whether the car is in River Road north or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. River Road north matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Tow truck in Gorge Road, Edgewater
Whether the car is in Gorge Road or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Gorge Road matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Undercliff Avenue or the far side of Edgewater: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Edgewater that call for a tow truck: Hudson River waterfront, River Road luxury towers and Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers and the roads between
The most common Edgewater pickup points are Hudson River waterfront, River Road luxury towers, Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers, Edgewater ferry landing and Veterans Field and the lots at Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots and NJ Transit buses on River Road; a truck or a technician reaches any of them in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Towing at Hudson River waterfront
A car that will not start at Hudson River waterfront is a jump start first and a tow only if the battery is finished; keys locked in the car are a lockout. Say which lot or which side of Hudson River waterfront, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
River Road luxury towers: tow truck and roadside response
We reach River Road luxury towers in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to River Road luxury towers 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 River Road luxury towers the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers
Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers is one of the places Edgewater drivers call from most. Tell the dispatcher the name and the nearest entrance or lot section; the driver knows where a truck can stop and how to reach a car boxed in by others. A dead battery or a lockout here is usually a roadside fix, not a tow.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Edgewater ferry landing
We reach Edgewater ferry landing in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Edgewater ferry landing 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 Edgewater ferry landing the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Veterans Field: tow truck and roadside response
Veterans Field is one of the places Edgewater drivers call from most. Tell the dispatcher the name and the nearest entrance or lot section; the driver knows where a truck can stop and how to reach a car boxed in by others. A dead battery or a lockout here is usually a roadside fix, not a tow.
Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots and NJ Transit buses on River Road: the commuter-lot calls
Station lots are where Edgewater batteries go to die: ten hours parked, a light left on, and a dark walk back to a car that clicks. The tech starts it from a commercial jump pack and tests the battery before leaving so you are not stranded again at the next stop. A key locked in the car on the platform side is opened without scratching a thing. Both are flat-priced; details on jump starts in Edgewater and car lockouts in Edgewater.
If you are at one of these Edgewater 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 EdgewaterHow to choose a towing company in Edgewater, NJ: the five questions to ask before a truck is sent
Before you accept a tow in Edgewater, listen for five things: the full price before dispatch, an arrival window based on where the truck really is, your choice of destination, an itemized receipt, and a driver you actually called rather than one who appeared on River Road (Route 505).
A tow is a purchase made under stress. These five checks take a minute and separate a straight company from an expensive surprise, in Edgewater or anywhere else.
Ask for the whole price before the truck leaves for Edgewater
Nothing about the price of a tow needs to wait for the driver: the truck the car needs and the miles to the destination are both known on the phone. When a company answers "the driver will tell you," the number arrives once the car is already on the deck and your leverage is gone. Our dispatcher quotes hook plus mileage for a tow or one flat price for a roadside job, and the receipt repeats it. See the pricing section for how it is built.
Ask where the truck is coming from and when it will arrive
When the answer to "where is the truck" is vague, the truck is probably not theirs. Ours leave Linden, which is 44 minutes from Edgewater off-peak across Bergen 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.
Confirm that the car goes to your shop, not theirs
The destination is yours to choose: your mechanic, the dealer, your driveway or a body shop. A company that steers you to "our shop" or "our yard" has a second bill waiting. After an accident in Edgewater this matters most; you do not have to accept the shop or the storage lot anyone else suggests.
Never take a tow from a truck you did not call
A tow truck that arrives on River Road (Route 505) or another highway near Edgewater without being called was listening for the crash, and the bill it produces is exactly what New Jersey's towing rules exist to stop. When our driver walks up he gives the company name and your name. You are allowed to decline any truck you did not call and wait for the one you did.
Ask for a receipt that lists every charge
An itemized receipt lists the hook, the miles, the pickup and drop addresses, the time and the plate, and it is the difference between a reimbursed tow and one you pay for yourself. We send it at the drop by text or email. If something on it needs explaining, the number to call is the dispatch line, (908) 444-0129, and a person answers. See 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 Edgewater, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Towing in Edgewater 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.
Hook fee plus mileage from Edgewater
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Edgewater to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Edgewater itself or in Cliffside Park 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.
Flat roadside prices in Edgewater
A jump start is one price, a tire change is one price, a lockout, a fuel delivery and a winch-out likewise, and none of them rises at night, on a weekend or in bad weather. The only extra is the fuel itself, at cost. If the technician finds the car needs a tow after all, the tow replaces the roadside charge; there is no double call-out.
Surcharges you will not find on an Edgewater receipt
Nothing is added after the quote. Not for the hour, not for the holiday, not for a passenger, not for the fuel to get to Edgewater. Storage never appears because we do not take cars to a yard. The receipt matches the call.
How to pay in Edgewater, and how to get the money back
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash are all taken on site, and fleets can set up monthly terms. Because the receipt lists the pickup in Edgewater, the destination, the mileage and the service, it satisfies insurers and roadside plans without a follow-up call. Collision coverage nearly always reimburses an accident tow; most memberships reimburse an outside call up to their cap.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of a tow from Edgewater. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Edgewater by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of towing call from Edgewater: 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. River Road floods at high tide in storms; Gorge Road and Route 5 ice before anything else.
Ask a dispatcher what Edgewater sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots in January, bent wheels off Gorge Road in April, overheated cars on River Road (Route 505) in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Bergen County.
Winter towing in Edgewater when River Road (Route 505) ices over
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. In Edgewater 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 towing in Edgewater 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. After a hard pothole hit in Edgewater, check the tire and the wheel before driving on; if the rim is bent or the sidewall bulges, it is a flatbed job, not a drive.
Towing in Edgewater 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 River Road (Route 505) 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 Edgewater
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 Gorge Road and the quieter roads of Edgewater around River Road south at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Edgewater 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.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Edgewater. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in EdgewaterWhat to do while you wait for a tow truck in Edgewater: shoulders on River Road (Route 505), driveways, lots and garages
Roll the car as far out of traffic as it will go, put the hazards on, stay belted inside unless the car is in danger, keep the phone charged for the driver's call, and have the key, the license and the registration where you can reach them.
Shoulder stop near Edgewater: River Road (Route 505) or Gorge Road
If the car still rolls, get it fully onto the shoulder or off at the next exit. Turn the wheels away from traffic. Hazards on. Stay in the car, belted, unless the car is in danger; then get behind the guardrail well away from it. The only through-road, running the length of the borough; congested, with constant lot merges and crashes. Do not accept a tow from a truck that shows up uninvited; ours says the company name and your name.
In an Edgewater driveway or on the street
Tower garages with low clearance, shopping-center lots and tight street parking on River Road. Most tower calls are dollied to the garage entrance. Move anything the driver will need to get past, unlock the car, and have the key in hand. If the car is on a street with alternate-side rules or a sweeping window, tell the dispatcher; we can move the car before the ticket.
In a parking lot or under a deck in Edgewater
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.
Keep the phone on and the paperwork ready
The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours. Have your license, registration and insurance card ready; after a lockout we ask for them before we leave. At the destination you get an itemized receipt. One Edgewater note: River Road floods at high tide in storms; Gorge Road and Route 5 ice before anything else.
Belt on, hazards on, phone charged. Make the call; the driver rings you before he reaches Edgewater.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in EdgewaterTowing for every kind of Edgewater driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on River Road (Route 505)
Towing in Edgewater serves roughly 14,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots, families in the residential streets, businesses near River Road luxury towers, and drivers who only know Edgewater as an exit on River Road (Route 505).
A narrow waterfront borough at the foot of the Palisades: River Road's luxury towers, shopping centers and the ferry landing, with steep roads climbing to Cliffside Park and Fort Lee. Garage calls in the towers, River Road crashes, and hill winch-outs. Those are the drivers of Edgewater, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
Edgewater commuters, from the platform at Edgewater ferry landing (NY Waterway) and its lots to the driveway
An Edgewater commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on River Road (Route 505) in the morning rush. We tow it to the shop you name or the driveway you left from, and tell you the price first. Most commuter calls are quoted and dispatched in under three minutes.
Families in the residential streets of Edgewater
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. Tower garages with low clearance, shopping-center lots and tight street parking on River Road. Most tower calls are dollied to the garage entrance. The truck is set up for the driveway before it leaves Linden. Kids and pets ride with you in the cab, not in the towed car.
Edgewater businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Around River Road luxury towers and Edgewater Commons and the River Road shopping centers 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 Edgewater is priced the same hook-plus-mileage way as anyone else's and lands at the shop you name; anything over a pickup's weight is a heavy-duty job. Fleet accounts get one invoice a month; ask the dispatcher.
Drivers passing through Edgewater on River Road (Route 505)
Edgewater sits on River Road (Route 505), 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 Edgewater, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Edgewater, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.

The questions below cover arrival time in Edgewater, price, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How fast can a tow truck get to Edgewater?
On a normal day, about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from the Linden yard; Edgewater is zone 3, 35–45 minutes. Traffic on River Road (Route 505) at rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher quotes the real window on the call rather than a hopeful one.
How much does a tow cost in Edgewater?
Hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, and you hear the total on the phone before the truck moves. Most tows to a shop in Edgewater or Cliffside Park stay inside the base mileage. Roadside jobs are single flat prices. Nothing extra for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
Do you have a shop or a yard in Edgewater?
There is no shop in Edgewater. We are a mobile service dispatched from Linden, 44 minutes away, and the truck comes to the car wherever it is in town; there is nowhere you need to drive to.
Is a flatbed available in Edgewater 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 Edgewater.
Where will you take my car from Edgewater?
Wherever you say: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Edgewater, in Cliffside Park or farther. We do not have a storage yard and we do not choose the shop for you. A destination beyond the 45-minute area is priced per mile.
Can you tow from a parking deck or a tight lot in Edgewater?
Yes. Tower garages with low clearance, shopping-center lots and tight street parking on River Road. Most tower calls are dollied to the garage entrance. Since a flatbed will not fit under most decks, the driver rolls the car to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loads it in the open. Give the dispatcher the name of the place and the level.
Is there room for me in the cab on a tow from Edgewater?
In most cases one person can ride in the cab to the drop-off. Say on the call how many people are with the car in Edgewater.
Do you require a roadside plan or insurance in Edgewater?
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 Edgewater 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 Edgewater.
The police in Edgewater 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 Edgewater.
Are you open overnight and on holidays in Edgewater?
Yes. The dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and a tow in Edgewater at 3 a.m. on a holiday is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.
Which towns near Edgewater do you also cover?
Cliffside Park, Fort Lee, Fairview, North Bergen, Palisades Park and Ridgefield for a start, and beyond them every town inside 45 minutes of Linden across Bergen County and eight more counties; every one has its own page.
