Help for Stranded Motorists in New Jersey: 24/7 Towing and Roadside from Linden
If your car has stopped and you do not know what it needs, call (908) 444-0129 and describe what happened. The dispatcher works out whether it is a jump, a tire, a lockout, fuel or a tow, quotes one flat price, and sends the right truck from Linden.
Why stranded motorists call The NJ Towing Service
Most people who call us are not sure what is wrong. The car would not start in a parking lot, the dash lit up on Route 22, the tire went flat on a side street in Elizabeth, or the keys are on the seat behind a locked door. The first job is sorting a problem that can be fixed where the car sits from one that needs a truck, and that is what the dispatcher does with a few questions about the make, the model and what the car did before it stopped.
Because the same call covers every service, you are not passed between a roadside plan, a locksmith and a tow company. If a jump start does not hold or the spare is flat too, the tow is dispatched from the same call and you pay for the tow only. You choose where the car goes: your mechanic, the dealer or your own driveway.
We cover every town within about 45 minutes of Linden across Union, Middlesex, Essex, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Somerset and Monmouth counties, 24 hours a day. See the full service area if you are not sure your town is inside it.
One number, 24/7, price first.
Call nowProblems we solve for stranded motorists
The calls we get most from stranded motorists, and what we do about each.
The car will not start
A click, a slow crank or nothing at all usually points to the battery. A tech brings a professional jump pack, and if the car starts and stays running you drive away. If it does not, the dispatcher sends a tow to the shop you name.
A flat tire with traffic going by
We install your spare with the truck positioned to shield the side being worked on. No usable spare, or two tires gone, means a tow to the tire shop of your choice instead.
Keys locked inside
A car lockout is opened with wedges and long-reach tools, no broken glass. The tech checks your ID and registration once the door is open.
Out of gas
We bring enough gas or diesel to get you to the next station. Tell the dispatcher which fuel the car takes.
Stopped on the Turnpike or the Parkway
Those shoulders are served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages. Book with us anyway, and once the car is off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the place you choose.
Describe the problem; the dispatcher picks the truck.

Call nowQuestions from stranded motorists
Short answers for stranded motorists.
I do not know what is wrong with my car. Who should I call?
Call (908) 444-0129 and describe what happened. The dispatcher asks a few questions, decides whether it is a roadside fix or a tow, and quotes the price before sending anyone.
What should I do while I wait?
Get the car as far off the travel lane as you can, turn on the hazards, and if you are on a highway shoulder stay buckled in or get behind the guardrail, away from the car. If anyone is hurt or the car is blocking a live lane, call 911 first.
Do I need a roadside plan or membership?
No. You pay us directly for the job and get an itemized receipt. Many roadside plans reimburse an out-of-network call with that receipt; check your plan's terms.
Is it more expensive at night?
No. The price for a jump, a tire change or a tow is the same at 3 a.m. on a holiday as at noon on a weekday.
