The NJ Towing Service sends flatbed and wheel-lift trucks from Linden to Fairfield in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, 24/7, with a flat price quoted on the call and no membership required.
Fairfield is about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from our Linden yard, which puts it in the outer ring of our 45-minute area. The far northwest corner of Essex County: a flat township of warehouses, office parks and hotels along Route 46 and Passaic Avenue, with residential streets behind. Fleet vans, box trucks and Route 46 breakdowns dominate.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Fairfield, 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.
Why a Linden-based tow truck reaches Fairfield fast
The whole point of a 45-minute radius is that the arrival window means something. For Fairfield, that window is built on Route 46, Passaic Avenue and Fairfield Road / Hollywood Avenue and on where the nearest truck is when you call, which the dispatcher can see. If traffic on Route 46 is bad, you hear the real number, not a hopeful one.
Loading a car on Fairfield streets, driveways and lots
Open warehouse and office lots; driveways in the residential blocks. Easy access for heavy-duty trucks. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is in Fairfield 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.
Breakdowns in Fairfield: where they happen
Most Fairfield calls come from a short list of places: Essex County Airport (Caldwell Airport), Passaic River recreation area, Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip and Fairfield industrial parks, and the lots at Bus routes along Route 46. Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on Route 46, and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
What a tow in Fairfield costs and why you hear it first
A tow in Fairfield 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 Essex CountyTow truck service on Route 46, Passaic Avenue, Fairfield Road / Hollywood Avenue and I-80 (border): the roads we run to reach Fairfield
Our route from Linden to Fairfield runs Route 46, Passaic Avenue and Fairfield Road / Hollywood Avenue, coming off at Route 46 at Passaic Avenue, Route 46 at Fairfield Road and I-80 Exit 53 (via Route 46), and a breakdown on any of those roads is a direct dispatch.
These are the roads a Fairfield breakdown happens on, in the order a driver from Linden meets them. Give the dispatcher the road name, your direction and the nearest exit or cross street. The driver knows the rest.
Route 46 breakdowns and tows in Fairfield
The commercial and industrial spine toward Wayne and Parsippany; jughandles, fast traffic and constant breakdowns. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Route 46; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Towing on Passaic Avenue in Fairfield
Industrial corridor toward West Caldwell. On Passaic Avenue we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Fairfield Road / Hollywood Avenue breakdowns and tows in Fairfield
Warehouse and office roads. If you are on a shoulder of Fairfield Road / Hollywood Avenue, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
I-80 (border) breakdowns and tows in Fairfield

Highway exits that serve Fairfield
For Fairfield the ramps to know are Route 46 at Passaic Avenue, Route 46 at Fairfield Road and I-80 Exit 53 (via Route 46). 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.
On a shoulder near Fairfield? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingTowing in Fairfield by job: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
All eight towing services run to Fairfield from Linden 24/7: emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out, each with its own Fairfield page linked below.
Towing in Fairfield is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on Route 46, a box truck down near Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has a Fairfield-specific page with the details.
Fairfield emergency towing
The call that comes in most from Fairfield: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Route 46, on Passaic Avenue, in a driveway or a lot at Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip, 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 Fairfield.
Fairfield flatbed towing
A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which is what an AWD, an EV, a lowered car or anything that cannot roll needs between Fairfield and the shop. Tell the dispatcher the model and whether it moves; the deck, the winch and the skates are chosen before the truck leaves Linden. See flatbed towing in Fairfield.
Accident Towing for Fairfield drivers
After a crash on Route 46 or at a Fairfield 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 Fairfield.
Local Towing for Fairfield drivers
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Fairfield or in West Caldwell, from the dealer, out of a driveway where a project car has sat too long, or to the inspection station on a car with dead plates. Hook plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled for a time that suits you or sent right away. See local towing in Fairfield.
Long Distance Towing in Fairfield
A car that has to go a long way from Fairfield rides on a dedicated flatbed at a quoted per-mile price, photographed at both ends and checked at every stop. Details on long distance towing in Fairfield.
Fairfield motorcycle towing
A motorcycle from Fairfield 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 Passaic Avenue, 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 Fairfield.
Fairfield heavy duty towing
A box truck stalled near Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip, a landscaping rig with a trailer on Passaic Avenue, a bus or a tractor working Fairfield: 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 Fairfield.
Winch Out in Fairfield
The Passaic River lowlands flood badly in heavy rain; Route 46 and Passaic Avenue close at times. A winch-out rigs to a proper recovery point, pulls the car straight back to the pavement and, if it drives, you drive away. If it does not, the tow is quoted on the spot with no second callout. See winch out in Fairfield.
Not sure which one you need in Fairfield? Describe what happened and the dispatcher decides, then quotes it.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside assistance near you in Fairfield: 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 Fairfield, 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.
Half the calls from Fairfield that start as "I need a tow" end as a roadside fix for less money. The lots at Bus routes along Route 46 produce dead batteries all winter. The lots at Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip produce lockouts. Route 46 produces flats and empty tanks. A technician handles all of it.
Roadside Assistance in Fairfield
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Fairfield at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Bus routes along Route 46 keep us busy with dead batteries. Fairfield industrial parks keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Fairfield.
Fairfield jump start
The jump-start call from Fairfield is usually a car that clicks and does nothing, often at Bus routes along Route 46 after a day in the lot. The technician starts it from a commercial pack, then load-tests the battery and checks the alternator so you know whether the fix will last past the next stop. See jump start in Fairfield.
Fairfield flat tire change
A flat in Fairfield is changed behind the truck's light bar with the car well off the lane, whether on Passaic Avenue or in a lot at Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip: floor jack, impact gun, your spare on, lug nuts torqued. If the spare is missing or flat, the car is towed to the tire shop you choose at a price quoted on the same call. See flat tire change in Fairfield.
Car Lockout for Fairfield drivers
Locked out in Fairfield, at Fairfield industrial parks, at a pump on Passaic Avenue or in your own driveway: the technician opens the door with an inflatable wedge and a long-reach tool, without touching the wiring or the glass, and checks your ID afterward. A child or a pet inside means 911 first, then us. See car lockout in Fairfield.
Fairfield fuel delivery
Ran dry on Route 46 or in a Fairfield 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 Fairfield.
Dead battery, flat, locked out or out of gas in Fairfield? A tech is one call away, no membership.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in FairfieldTowing in every Fairfield neighborhood: Route 46 corridor, Fairfield Center and Big Piece Meadows area
Route 46 corridor, Fairfield Center and Big Piece Meadows area: every section of Fairfield gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Ask a driver where in Fairfield the car is and he wants a neighborhood, not just a street number. Open warehouse and office lots; driveways in the residential blocks. Easy access for heavy-duty trucks.
Towing and roadside help in Route 46 corridor
Route 46 corridor gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Fairfield: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Route 46 corridor 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 Fairfield Center
Whether the car is in Fairfield Center 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. Fairfield Center matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Big Piece Meadows area: what a tow looks like here
In Big Piece Meadows area the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Big Piece Meadows area 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 Big Piece Meadows area as in the rest of Fairfield: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Route 46 corridor or the far side of Fairfield: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Fairfield that call for a tow truck: Passaic River recreation area, Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip and Fairfield industrial parks and the roads between
Passaic River recreation area, Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip, Fairfield industrial parks and Essex County Airport (Caldwell Airport) and the lots at Bus routes along Route 46 are where Fairfield drivers most often need us, and each is about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from a Linden truck or technician.
Passaic River recreation area: tow truck and roadside response
A car that will not start at Passaic River recreation area 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 Passaic River recreation area, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip: tow truck and roadside response
We reach Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip 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 Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Towing at Fairfield industrial parks
Fairfield industrial parks is one of the places Fairfield 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.
Essex County Airport (Caldwell Airport): tow truck and roadside response
We reach Essex County Airport (Caldwell Airport) in about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Essex County Airport (Caldwell Airport) 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 Essex County Airport (Caldwell Airport) the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Bus routes along Route 46: the commuter-lot calls
Station lots are where Fairfield 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 Fairfield and car lockouts in Fairfield.
Stuck at Passaic River recreation area or another of these places? Give the name and the lot section, and the truck or the technician heads out.
Call (908) 444-0129Jump start in FairfieldHow to choose a towing company in Fairfield, NJ: the five questions to ask before a truck is sent
Five checks separate a straight towing company in Fairfield 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 46.
Most drivers in Fairfield pick a tow company once, in a hurry, from a search result. Here is what to listen for in the first minute of the call, whoever you call.
Get the full price before a truck is sent to Fairfield
A towing price has two parts, the truck and the miles, and both can be settled before anyone leaves Linden for Fairfield. "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.
The second question: how far away is the truck, really
When the answer to "where is the truck" is vague, the truck is probably not theirs. Ours leave Linden, which is 44 minutes from Fairfield off-peak across Essex 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
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 Fairfield this matters most; you do not have to accept the shop or the storage lot anyone else suggests.
Turn away the truck that shows up on its own
On Route 46 and the other highways around Fairfield, 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.
The fifth question: will the receipt be itemized
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 areaWhat a tow in Fairfield costs, how the number is built, and why you hear it before dispatch
The price of a tow from Fairfield 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.
Hook fee plus mileage from Fairfield
Two numbers make the price: the hook fee, which is the same for every tow, and the mileage from the pickup in Fairfield to the drop-off. Short tows to a local shop stay inside the base mileage. Longer ones are quoted per mile. You hear the total before you decide.
One price per roadside job in Fairfield
Each roadside service in Fairfield, 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 a tow in Fairfield never adds
No fuel surcharge. No after-hours surcharge. No passenger fee. No administrative fee. No storage, because the car goes where you told us, not to our yard. If a driver ever asks for a different number than dispatch quoted for the same job in Fairfield, call dispatch from the scene.
How to pay in Fairfield, and how to get the money back
Pay by any major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car; fleet accounts run on net terms. The receipt itemizes the Fairfield 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.
Want the number for a tow in Fairfield before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towHow the season changes towing in Fairfield: what breaks on Route 46 and Passaic Avenue in January, April, July and October
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of towing call from Fairfield: 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. The Passaic River lowlands flood badly in heavy rain; Route 46 and Passaic Avenue close at times.
Ask a dispatcher what Fairfield sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Bus routes along Route 46 in January, bent wheels off Passaic Avenue in April, overheated cars on Route 46 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Essex County.
Towing in Fairfield 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. In Fairfield the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
March and April in Fairfield: potholes, bent wheels and inspection failures
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 Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip and along Route 46, 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.
Summer towing in Fairfield: heat, traffic and holiday weekends
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 Fairfield also fills the lots at Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip, 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.
Fall towing in Fairfield: wet leaves, early dark and deer
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. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Fairfield; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Fairfield.
The seasons change the calls from Fairfield, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in FairfieldWhat to do while you wait for a tow truck in Fairfield: shoulders on Route 46, 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 Fairfield: Route 46 or Passaic Avenue
While the car still moves, get it all the way onto the shoulder or down the next ramp, and turn the front wheels away from the lane. Hazards on. Stay belted in the car unless it is in danger; if it is, get behind the guardrail well clear of it. The commercial and industrial spine toward Wayne and Parsippany; jughandles, fast traffic and constant breakdowns. A truck that appears without being called is not ours; ours announces the company name and your name.
On a residential street or in a driveway in Fairfield
Open warehouse and office lots; driveways in the residential blocks. Easy access for heavy-duty trucks. 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 lot or a garage in Fairfield
Say the name of the place, the lot section or the garage level, and the posted clearance if you can see it. A flatbed does not fit under most decks; the car is moved to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded outside. Meet the driver at the car if you can, and take your belongings out before it is loaded.
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 Fairfield note: The Passaic River lowlands flood badly in heavy rain; Route 46 and Passaic Avenue close at times.
Belt on, hazards on, phone charged. Make the call; the driver rings you before he reaches Fairfield.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in FairfieldThe Fairfield drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
The towing calls from Fairfield come from a township of about 8,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Bus routes along Route 46, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 46.
The far northwest corner of Essex County: a flat township of warehouses, office parks and hotels along Route 46 and Passaic Avenue, with residential streets behind. Fleet vans, box trucks and Route 46 breakdowns dominate. Those are the drivers of Fairfield, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
The commuter's car in Fairfield: Bus routes along Route 46 and the roads to it
The lot at Bus routes along Route 46 is where Fairfield batteries die: a car sits ten hours, the lights were left on, and at 7 p.m. it is dark and cold. A tow to the shop from the lot or the driveway is quoted before the truck leaves; if a jump or a tire would do instead, the dispatcher says so. Commuters need one thing above all: a real arrival time, and they get one.
Fairfield households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
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. Open warehouse and office lots; driveways in the residential blocks. Easy access for heavy-duty trucks. 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.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip
Around Route 46 hotel and restaurant strip and Fairfield industrial parks 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 Fairfield 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.
Passing through Fairfield on Route 46 when the car quit
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Fairfield have never heard of it; they were on Route 46 heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as Route 46 at Passaic Avenue, 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.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Fairfield, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.

Call nowEssex County towingFairfield towing questions, answered before you call
How long the truck takes to reach Fairfield, what it costs, which truck comes, where the car can go, garages, insurance and what to do while you wait; anything not covered, a dispatcher answers live.
What is the arrival time for a tow in Fairfield?
On a normal day, about 44 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from the Linden yard; Fairfield is zone 3, 35–45 minutes. Traffic on Route 46 at rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher quotes the real window on the call rather than a hopeful one.
How is a tow from Fairfield priced?
Two numbers, a flat hook fee and mileage to your destination, added up and quoted before dispatch. A short tow to a Fairfield 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.

No. We are a mobile service-area business dispatched from Linden, 44 minutes away. There is no shop to drive to; the truck comes to your car anywhere in Fairfield.
Is a flatbed available in Fairfield 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 Fairfield.
Which shops do you tow to from Fairfield?
Wherever you say: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Fairfield, in West Caldwell 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 Fairfield?
Yes. Open warehouse and office lots; driveways in the residential blocks. Easy access for heavy-duty trucks. 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 Fairfield?
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 Fairfield.
Do I need a membership or insurance to call you in Fairfield?
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 Fairfield 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 Fairfield.
The police in Fairfield 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 Fairfield.
Are you open overnight and on holidays in Fairfield?
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.
What other towns around Fairfield do you serve?
West Caldwell, North Caldwell, Wayne, Little Falls, Montville, Parsippany and Totowa, plus every town within 45 minutes of Linden in Essex County and eight other counties, each with a page of its own.
