Edison, NJ towing service around the clock: a tow truck near you from our Linden yard, 20 minutes out

A tow truck near you in Edison: dispatched from Linden, 20 minutes away, around the clock
Edison is about 20 minutes from The NJ Towing Service yard in Linden; flatbeds and wheel-lift trucks run there around the clock, the price is fixed on the phone, and nobody needs a membership to call.
Edison is about 20 minutes from our Linden yard, which puts it in our second response zone. One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Edison, this is the page that answers: what we tow here, which roads we run to reach you, how the parking and the streets change the job, and what it costs. If you are stuck right now, skip all of it and call (908) 444-0129. A dispatcher answers 24 hours a day and quotes a flat price before the truck leaves Linden.
How close our trucks really are to Edison
The whole point of a 45-minute radius is that the arrival window means something. For Edison, that window is built on Route 1, I-287 and NJ Turnpike and on where the nearest truck is when you call, which the dispatcher can see. If traffic on Route 1 is bad, you hear the real number, not a hopeful one.
What the driver plans for before he reaches Edison
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. That detail is why we ask where the car is parked, not just the address in Edison. The truck that shows up is set up for that spot before it leaves Linden.
Where Edison drivers call us from most
Most Edison calls come from a short list of places: Route 1 dealer row, Middlesex College, JFK Medical Center, Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park and Raritan Center industrial park, and the lots at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border. Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on Route 1, and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
Edison towing rates: hook plus mileage, nothing hidden
You hear the price before you commit: a hook fee plus mileage for a tow, or the flat rate for a roadside service. Nothing is added at night or on a holiday in Edison, and nothing is added for a passenger in the cab. If you do not like the number, you hang up and owe nothing.
If the car is stopped in Edison right now, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Middlesex CountyThe roads into Edison: tow truck response on Route 1, I-287, NJ Turnpike and Route 27
From Linden we reach Edison by Route 1, I-287 and NJ Turnpike, using NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent), and we respond to breakdowns 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 Edison. 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 1 in Edison
The Menlo Park Mall and dealer-row strip; jughandles, constant merges, rear-end collisions and lot lockouts. If you are on a shoulder of Route 1, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
I-287 breakdowns and tows in Edison
Runs through northern Edison toward Piscataway and the Turnpike; the Route 1 interchange and the Durham Avenue stretch are frequent breakdown spots. A breakdown on I-287 is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Edison: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Broke down on NJ Turnpike near Edison: how the handoff works
Exit 10 is Edison's; the I-287 connection and the Raritan toll plaza area back up daily. 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.
Towing on Route 27 in Edison
Cuts through the township from Metuchen to Highland Park; slow, parked-up, tows to local shops. If you are on a shoulder of Route 27, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Towing on Oak Tree Road in Edison
The business district; double-parking, tight turns and constant roadside calls. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Oak Tree Road; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Towing on Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue in Edison
The township's long local spines; commuter traffic and neighborhood driveways. On Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Highway exits that serve Edison
Our drivers reach Edison by NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent). 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.
On a shoulder near Edison? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEight towing services dispatched to Edison: 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 Edison from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Edison page below.
The word "towing" covers eight different jobs in Edison, and the dispatcher sorts them from what you say: a car that will not start at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots is an emergency tow, an AWD or an EV is a flatbed, a crash on Route 1 is an accident tow, a car in a ditch is a winch-out. Each has a page written for Edison.
Edison emergency towing
The call that comes in most from Edison: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Route 1, on I-287, in a driveway or a lot at Menlo Park Mall, a truck is dispatched the minute you approve the quote and the driver calls when he is minutes out. Night and holiday tows are priced the same as a weekday afternoon. Full details on emergency towing in Edison.
Flatbed Towing in Edison
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. Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs, so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Edison.
Accident Towing in Edison
A crash in Edison, whether on I-287 or in a lot at Menlo Park Mall, ends with two decisions: who tows the car and where it goes. Make both yours: call us before the rotation truck arrives, and we clear the lane, photograph the damage for the claim and deliver the car to the body shop you pick. See accident towing in Edison.
Local Towing for Edison drivers
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 Edison is a hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled or immediate. Tows to shops in Edison or the next town usually stay inside the base mileage. See local towing in Edison.
Edison long distance towing
A car leaving Edison 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 Edison.
Edison motorcycle towing
A motorcycle from Edison never rides on a sling or a wheel-lift; it stands upright in a front-wheel chock on the flatbed with soft loops on the bars and the fairings protected. A breakdown on I-287, a bike that will not start after winter storage, or a drop in the driveway: say the model and it is loaded right. See motorcycle towing in Edison.
Heavy Duty Towing in Edison
A box truck stalled near Menlo Park Mall, a landscaping rig with a trailer on I-287, a bus or a tractor working Edison: 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 Edison.
Edison winch out
Stuck in snow, mud or a ditch in Edison 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 Edison.
Cannot tell which of the eight you need in Edison? Say what happened; the dispatcher picks the truck and quotes it.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside assistance near you in Edison: jump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel without a membership
A technician comes to your car anywhere in Edison for a jump start, a tire change, a lockout or fuel delivery at one flat price each, and the flatbed is dispatched from the same call if the car needs a tow after all.
Most Edison breakdowns are not tows. A battery that died in the lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots, a flat on I-287, keys locked in the car at Route 1 dealer row, an empty tank on Route 1: each is fixed on the spot by a tech with the right tool, and you drive away.
Roadside Assistance in Edison
Roadside assistance in Edison is a technician, not a truck: a jump pack for the battery, a jack and impact gun for the flat on I-287, wedges and long-reach tools for the lockout at Menlo Park Mall, a can of fuel for the tank that ran dry. Each is one flat price, no membership, and the tow is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold. See roadside assistance in Edison.
Edison jump start
Click, click, nothing in Edison? A tech with a professional jump pack starts it and tests the battery. If it is finished, we say so and can tow the car to the shop you choose from the same call. See jump start in Edison.
Flat Tire Change in Edison
Potholes on Route 1 and I-287 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 Edison.
Edison car lockout
Keys locked in the car at Menlo Park Mall, at a pump on Route 1, or in an Edison 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 Edison.
Edison fuel delivery
Out of fuel in Edison, on I-287 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 Edison.
Battery dead, tire flat, keys inside or tank empty somewhere in Edison? A technician is dispatched from the same line as the trucks, membership not required.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in EdisonTowing in every Edison neighborhood: Menlo Park, Oak Tree, Clara Barton and Raritan Center and more
Menlo Park, Oak Tree, Clara Barton, Raritan Center, Bonhamtown, North Edison, Piscatawaytown and Stelton: every section of Edison gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Edison has 8 named sections our drivers know, and the approach changes from one to the next. Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. Below, what a tow looks like in each.
Towing and roadside help in Menlo Park
Menlo Park gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Edison: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 20 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Menlo Park and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Towing and roadside help in Oak Tree
Whether the car is in Oak Tree 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. Oak Tree matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Clara Barton
In Clara Barton the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Clara Barton 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 Clara Barton as in the rest of Edison: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Tow truck in Raritan Center, Edison
In Raritan Center the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Raritan Center 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 Raritan Center as in the rest of Edison: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Tow truck in Bonhamtown, Edison
Bonhamtown gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Edison: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 20 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Bonhamtown and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Towing and roadside help in North Edison
Calls from North Edison are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Edison: 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 North Edison; it is faster than a house number on a long Edison block.
Piscatawaytown: what a tow looks like here
Whether the car is in Piscatawaytown 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. Piscatawaytown matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Stelton
Whether the car is in Stelton 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. Stelton matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
No neighborhood in Edison is priced differently or answered slower; the number and the dispatch are the same everywhere.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchRoute 1 dealer row, Middlesex College and JFK Medical Center: the Edison spots our trucks are sent to most
In Edison the pickups cluster at Route 1 dealer row, Middlesex College, JFK Medical Center, Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park and Raritan Center industrial park and the lots at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 20 minutes.
Towing at Route 1 dealer row
A car that will not start at Route 1 dealer row 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 Route 1 dealer row, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Middlesex College: 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, Middlesex College gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Edison.
Towing at JFK Medical Center
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, JFK Medical Center gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Edison.
Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park: tow truck and roadside response
We reach Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park in about 20 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park 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 Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Towing at Raritan Center industrial park
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Raritan Center industrial park gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Edison.
Edison station: tow truck and roadside response
A car that will not start at Edison station 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 Edison station, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Dead batteries and lockouts at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border
Station lots are where Edison 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 Edison and car lockouts in Edison.
If you are at one of these Edison 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 EdisonWhat a good towing company in Edison does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
A towing company in Edison worth calling quotes the full price before dispatch, gives an honest arrival window, lets you choose where the car goes, hands you an itemized receipt, and never shows up uninvited on the shoulder of Route 1.
Nobody in Edison shops for a tow company on a good day; the search happens on the shoulder of Route 1 with the hazards on. These five checks fit in the first minute of any call, ours included.
Ask for the whole price before the truck leaves for Edison
A towing price has two parts, the truck and the miles, and both can be settled before anyone leaves Linden for Edison. "We will figure it out on scene" means the number gets decided when you can no longer say no. We give the total on the call, whether it is hook plus mileage or a flat roadside rate, and the receipt matches it to the dollar. The pricing section shows how the total comes together.
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 20 minutes from Edison 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.
The third question: where does the car end up
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 Edison 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
On Route 1 and the other highways around Edison, a truck that appears without being called is chasing the crash, and the bill that follows is the reason New Jersey regulates it. Our driver says the company name and your name when he arrives. If a truck shows up first, you may decline it and wait for the one you called.
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.
Ask us the five questions. The answers are on this page, and they are the same on the phone.
Call and askService areaWhat a tow in Edison costs, how the number is built, and why you hear it before dispatch
The price of a tow from Edison has two parts, a hook fee and mileage to your destination, and you hear the total on the call; roadside jobs are single flat prices; there is no surcharge for the hour, the day or the fuel.
How a tow from Edison is priced: hook, then miles
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Edison to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Edison itself or in Metuchen 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 Edison
A jump start, a tire change, a lockout, a fuel delivery and a winch-out each have one price that does not change at night, on a Sunday or in a storm. Fuel delivered is added at cost. If a roadside call turns into a tow, you pay the tow, not the tow plus a second callout.
Surcharges you will not find on an Edison receipt
The list of things we do not charge for in Edison 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 Edison and getting reimbursed
All major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site; net terms for fleet accounts. The itemized receipt shows the Edison pickup, the destination, the mileage and the service, which is what insurers and roadside plans need. Collision coverage almost always reimburses an accident tow; most roadside memberships reimburse an out-of-network call up to their limit.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of a tow from Edison. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Edison by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
The trucks run to Edison in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Route 1 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Route 1 underpasses and the Raritan Center low ground flood; I-287's Edison stretch ices first.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Edison for a few winters knows what the calendar does to the calls. The notes below are the pattern, so you know what to expect from towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Winter towing in Edison when Route 1 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. The lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots 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 1; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Pothole season in Edison: March and April on I-287
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. I-287 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.
Towing in Edison 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. Summer in Edison also fills the lots at Menlo Park Mall, and a car that sat in the sun all afternoon on a weak battery does not start at closing time; the technician carries a jump pack and checks the coolant, and the flatbed is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold.
Towing in Edison from October to December
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. Wet leaves on the ramps off Route 1 are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Edison, not a tow, and is priced that way.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Edison. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in EdisonWhile you wait for the truck in Edison: on the shoulder of Route 1, in a driveway, in a lot or under a deck
Move the car out of the lane if it still rolls, hazards on, seatbelt on, stay inside unless the car itself is at risk, keep the phone alive for the driver's call, and get the key, license and registration ready.
Stopped on Route 1 or one of the toll roads
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 Menlo Park Mall and dealer-row strip; jughandles, constant merges, rear-end collisions and lot lockouts. Do not accept a tow from a truck that shows up uninvited; ours says the company name and your name. 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.
Parked in an Edison driveway or at the curb
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. Clear whatever the driver has to get past, unlock the car and keep the key in your hand. On a street with alternate-side parking or a sweeping window, say so; the truck can move the car before the ticket is written.
Edison lots and garages: what the driver needs to know
Tell the dispatcher which lot, Route 1 dealer row for instance, and which section or level, plus the posted clearance if there is one. A flatbed cannot get under most decks, so the car rolls to the entrance on skates or a dolly and is loaded outside. Meet the driver at the car when possible, and empty it of anything you need before it is loaded.
Phone charged, papers in hand
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 Edison note: Route 1 underpasses and the Raritan Center low ground flood; I-287's Edison stretch ices first.
Belted in, hazards on, phone charged. Now call. The driver will call you back before he arrives in Edison.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in EdisonWho calls for towing in Edison: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 1
The towing calls from Edison come from a township of about 107,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Menlo Park Mall, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 1.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed. That mix shapes the towing calls we get from Edison.
The commuter's car in Edison: Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and the roads to it
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Edison, and Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots is where many of them start: the car sat all day and will not turn over at 6 p.m. The dispatcher quotes the tow to your shop or your driveway on the call, and says so if a jump or a tire would be the cheaper fix. What a commuter needs is an honest arrival window, and that is what the dispatcher gives.
Edison households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
A township of about 107,000 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. Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. 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.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Menlo Park Mall
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Edison call for work vehicles that make money by moving. We quote the job, give the real arrival window and get the vehicle to the shop or the yard. Repeat callers are welcome to ask for an account so the paperwork is one email a month. Details on towing for Edison businesses.
Passing through Edison on Route 1 when the car quit
Edison sits on Route 1, 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 Edison, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 1: everyone in Edison calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingEdison towing questions, answered before you call
The questions below cover arrival time in Edison, 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 Edison?
About 20 minutes from our Linden yard on a normal day; Edison is in zone 2 (20–35 minutes). Rush hour on Route 1 and storms stretch it, and the dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
What does towing cost in Edison, NJ?
A flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted on the call before the truck rolls. A tow to a shop in Edison or a neighboring town usually stays inside the base mileage. Roadside services are one flat price each. No night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
Is there a NJ Towing Service location in Edison?
No location in Edison and none you need to find: the trucks are dispatched from Linden, 20 minutes out, straight to your car, whether it is on Route 1 or in a driveway.
Is a flatbed available in Edison for AWD and EVs?
Every AWD and every electric car in Edison goes on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground; a wheel-lift is never used. Say the model when you call so the right truck rolls. See flatbed towing in Edison.
Which shops do you tow to from Edison?
The destination is yours: a mechanic, a dealership, a body shop, home, inside Edison 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 Edison. Can you get it?
Yes. Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. 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 Edison?
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 Edison?
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.
What if my car in Edison just needs a jump, a tire or a lockout?
Say so, or describe the symptom and let the dispatcher decide. A roadside technician is usually cheaper than a tow and gets you driving. See roadside assistance in Edison.
Can you take my car from a crash scene in Edison if the police called another truck?
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 Edison.
Are you open overnight and on holidays in Edison?
Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the price structure is the same at 3 a.m. on a holiday as on a weekday afternoon.
Do you cover the towns next to Edison too?
Metuchen, Iselin, Woodbridge, Piscataway, Highland Park, South Plainfield, New Brunswick and Colonia 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.
