Towing After a Car Accident in New Jersey: Your Car Goes Where You Choose
After a crash, call 911 first if anyone is hurt or the cars are blocking traffic. Then call (908) 444-0129: we recover the car, clear the debris, and take it to the body shop, dealer or driveway you choose, at a price quoted before the truck leaves Linden.
Why accident victims call The NJ Towing Service
The minutes after an accident are when drivers make decisions they regret, and one of the most expensive is letting the car go to a yard they did not choose and then paying daily storage to get it back. With us the car goes straight to your body shop or your driveway. You do not have to use a shop your insurer recommends unless you want to.
Every accident tow is priced the same way as any other tow: a flat hook fee plus loaded mileage to the destination, with winching and debris cleanup included. A crashed AWD or electric car rides a flatbed. A car that will not roll or steer is loaded with a winch, dollies or skates.
If the police have already called a tow, tell the officer your own tow is on the way. Whether the car is released to us is the officer's decision. If the car has already gone to another yard, we can pick it up on your signed release. For what to keep for your claim, see towing answers and the accident towing guide.
One number, 24/7, price first.
Call nowProblems we solve for accident victims
The calls we get most from accident victims, and what we do about each.
A car that cannot be driven
Winch, dollies and skates load a car that will not roll or steer. Tell the dispatcher what is damaged.
Not knowing where to take it
Your own mechanic, a body shop you trust, the dealer or your driveway. If you are undecided, take it home and choose a shop later.
Documents for the claim
The itemized receipt shows pickup, time, destination and mileage. The driver photographs the car at pickup and drop-off.
A car already at a tow yard
On your signed release we pick it up and move it to your shop, which stops the storage clock.
A crash on the Turnpike or Parkway
The Authority's authorized garage clears the scene. Book with us and we take the car from the garage's lot to your shop.
Describe the problem; the dispatcher picks the truck.

Call nowQuestions from accident victims
Short answers for accident victims.
What should I do first after an accident in New Jersey?
Check for injuries and call 911 if anyone is hurt or the cars are blocking traffic. Exchange license, registration and insurance information, take photos, and then call for the tow.
Do I have to use the body shop my insurer suggests?
No. You choose the shop. Check your policy for how your insurer handles repair estimates.
Do you bill my insurance company?
No. You pay us and get an itemized receipt. Many collision policies cover the tow; submit the receipt with your claim.
Can the car go to my house?
Yes. Make sure it can be parked off the street; many towns ticket damaged cars left at the curb.
A tow truck showed up at the scene that I did not call. Do I have to use it?
Unless police have ordered a tow, you can choose your own. If you feel you were overcharged by a tow company in New Jersey, you can file a complaint with the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs.
