Towing for Motorcycle Riders in New Jersey: Upright on a Flatbed, Never a Sling
A motorcycle rides upright on a flatbed in a locking front-wheel chock with soft straps, never on a sling or a wheel-lift. Call (908) 444-0129 with the make and model and where the bike is going, and the price is quoted before the truck leaves Linden.
Why motorcycle riders call The NJ Towing Service
Riders know how a bike gets damaged in a tow: a sling that scratches the tank, a ratchet strap that bends the bars, a bike laid on its side. Motorcycle towing with us is a flatbed with a chock sized for your bike and soft loops at the triple tree and frame, and the bike is photographed at pickup and drop-off.
Riding season fills our calls on Route 22, Route 27, Routes 1 & 9, I-78, I-287, and the roads through the Watchung Reservation and out toward Somerset and Morris counties. If the bike can be pushed to a diner lot or a gas station, the truck meets you there.
A bike that is down in a ditch needs a winch-out before the tow, and the dispatcher says so on the call with both prices. A motorcycle tow is priced like every other tow: a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to the shop or garage you choose, quoted before the flatbed leaves Linden. The chock, the straps and a dolly are part of the hook. There is no extra charge at night, on a weekend or on a holiday. Runs to the shore, New York or Pennsylvania are quoted as long-distance towing, one number with tolls and the return leg.
One number, 24/7, price first.
Call nowProblems we solve for motorcycle riders
The calls we get most from motorcycle riders, and what we do about each.
A bike that will not start
A dead battery can often be jumped where the bike stands. If not, the bike goes on the flatbed to your shop.
A crash
Get to safety and call 911 if anyone is hurt. The bike is righted, loaded and taken to the shop you choose.
Locked steering or no key
With proof of ownership, a dolly under the front wheel and the winch load the bike.
Ran out of fuel
Small tanks run dry on long rides. We bring enough gas to reach the next station, at one flat price.
Seasonal moves and dealer drops
Into storage in the fall, out in the spring, or to the dealer for service, booked for a window you choose.
Describe the problem; the dispatcher picks the truck.

Call nowQuestions from motorcycle riders
Short answers for motorcycle riders.
Will you tow my motorcycle with a sling or wheel-lift?
No. Motorcycles ride upright on a flatbed in a wheel chock with soft straps.
Can you tow a trike or a bike with a sidecar?
Yes. Tell the dispatcher what it is so the truck arrives set up for it.
Can you pick up a bike from a parking garage?
Yes. The flatbed usually cannot fit inside a deck, so the bike is walked or dollied to the entrance and loaded outside.
Can you move my bike to the shore or out of state?
Yes. That is quoted as one number with tolls and the return leg included.
What should I do if I go down on a highway?
Get yourself behind the guardrail with your helmet and jacket on, call 911 if anyone is hurt, then call (908) 444-0129 with the road and the nearest exit or cross street.
