Pickups, older sedans and the vans that work the nearby industrial waterfront.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Fords, 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.

How close our trucks really are to Fords
Fords is one of the Middlesex County towns a Linden truck reaches inside 45 minutes, which is the only reason it is on this site. The drive is about 15 minutes by Route 9, Route 440 and King Georges Road, off at Garden State Parkway Exit 127, and the arrival window the dispatcher gives you comes from where the nearest truck is at that moment. If Route 9 is backed up, you hear that, not a guess.
What the driver plans for before he reaches Fords
Street parking on the older grid, small driveways. Flatbeds load from the street; cars often need to be pulled out from between parked vehicles. The dispatcher asks about it on the call so the truck is positioned right the first time instead of blocking a Fords street while the driver works out an approach.
Where Fords drivers call us from most
The calls cluster where the cars are: Route 9 commercial strip, Hopelawn and Keasbey industrial edge, Fords Park and King Georges Road businesses, and the lots at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy. A jump start or a lockout fixes half of them on the spot; the rest are tows to the shop the Fords driver chooses.
Fords towing rates: hook plus mileage, nothing hidden
Every tow from Fords is priced the same way: a hook fee, then mileage to the destination you choose, added up and quoted on the phone. A jump start or a lockout is a single flat price. The number does not change for a 3 a.m. call, a holiday or a passenger in the cab, and the receipt shows exactly what was quoted.
Stuck in Fords right now? Skip the reading. Dispatch answers 24/7 and quotes the price before the truck rolls.
Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Middlesex CountyTow truck service on Route 9, Route 440, King Georges Road and Ford Avenue / New Brunswick Avenue: the roads we run to reach Fords
Our route from Linden to Fords runs Route 9, Route 440 and King Georges Road, coming off at Garden State Parkway Exit 127 and Route 440 / Route 9 interchange, and a breakdown on any of those roads is a direct dispatch; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
These are the roads a Fords 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.
Tow truck response on Route 9, Fords
Runs right through Fords toward Sayreville; narrow shoulders and the Route 440 interchange. If you are on a shoulder of Route 9, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Tow truck response on Route 440, Fords
The Outerbridge connector skirts Fords; fast traffic, bad spot for a breakdown. A breakdown on Route 440 is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Fords: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Tow truck response on King Georges Road, Fords
The local commercial spine to Woodbridge proper; parked up on both sides. A breakdown on King Georges Road is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Fords: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Towing on Ford Avenue / New Brunswick Avenue in Fords
Residential connectors to Perth Amboy and Hopelawn; tight turns for a flatbed. On Ford Avenue / New Brunswick Avenue we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Broke down on Garden State Parkway near Fords: how the handoff works
Exit 127 (Route 9) serves Fords from the south. 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.
Fords by exit number
Garden State Parkway Exit 127 and Route 440 / Route 9 interchange are the exits our trucks use for Fords. 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. Where the Turnpike or Parkway express lanes offer no exit, the Authority's garage clears the shoulder and our truck picks the car up at the ramp.
Stopped on a shoulder near Fords? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingTowing in Fords by job: 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 Fords from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Fords page below.
Towing in Fords is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on Route 9, a box truck down near Fords Park and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has a Fords-specific page with the details.
Emergency Towing in Fords
The call that comes in most from Fords: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Route 9, on Route 440, in a driveway or a lot at Fords Park, 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 Fords.
Flatbed Towing for Fords drivers
Fords drivers with AWD, EVs and low cars ask for the flatbed by name, and we send it without being asked once you tell us the model. Non-running cars are winched up the deck; cars in tight spots are moved on skates first. See flatbed towing in Fords.
Accident Towing for Fords drivers
Collisions at the lights on Route 9 and Route 440 are a daily Fords call. We winch cars that will not roll, sweep the glass, and take the car to your shop, not a storage yard. Full walkthrough on accident towing in Fords.
Fords local towing
Not every tow is an emergency. Fords repair shops and dealers use us for customer pickups and transfers, and residents use us to move a car that runs but should not be driven. Flat quoted rate. See local towing in Fords.
Long Distance Towing in Fords
From Fords to the shore, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut or a buyer three states away: one flatbed, one driver and one quoted price that includes the hook, the mileage, tolls and the return leg. Same-day, not a week waiting for a carrier slot. See long distance towing in Fords.
Motorcycle Towing in Fords
Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in Fords get the chock, the soft loops and even fork compression so nothing walks on the deck. Tell the dispatcher the model. See motorcycle towing in Fords.
Heavy Duty Towing in Fords
Box trucks, sprinter vans, landscaping rigs, buses and tractors working Fords and Route 9 get a medium or heavy-duty truck rated for the weight. Tell the dispatcher the GVWR, whether it is loaded and whether it rolls. Fleet accounts get a direct line and one monthly invoice. See heavy duty towing in Fords.
Fords winch out
A car that left the pavement in Fords but is not broken is a winch-out: a snow bank at the end of a driveway, the soft shoulder of Route 440, a ditch off a back road. The driver rigs to a proper recovery point, pulls the car straight back the way it went in, and you drive off; if it will not drive, the tow is quoted right there. See winch out in Fords.
Cannot tell which of the eight you need in Fords? Say what happened; the dispatcher picks the truck and quotes it.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesJump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel in Fords: roadside assistance at a flat price, no plan required
For a dead battery, a flat, keys locked inside or an empty tank anywhere in Fords, 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.
Most Fords breakdowns are not tows. A battery that died in the lot at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy, a flat on Route 440, keys locked in the car at King Georges Road businesses, an empty tank on Route 9: each is fixed on the spot by a tech with the right tool, and you drive away.
Roadside Assistance in Fords
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Fords at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy keep us busy with dead batteries. King Georges Road businesses keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Fords.
Jump Start for Fords drivers
A car that sat all day at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy with a dome light on is the classic Fords jump-start call. Commercial lithium packs for cars, trucks, diesels and hybrids, then a load test so you know whether the battery will hold. See jump start in Fords.
Flat Tire Change in Fords
Potholes on Route 9 and Route 440 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 Fords.
Fords car lockout
Keys locked in the car at Fords Park, at a pump on Route 9, or in a Fords 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 Fords.
Fuel Delivery in Fords
Ran dry on Route 9 or in a Fords 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 Fords.
Battery dead, tire flat, keys inside or tank empty somewhere in Fords? A technician is dispatched from the same line as the trucks, membership not required.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in FordsTowing in every Fords neighborhood: King Georges Road, Hopelawn, Keasbey and Route 9 side and more
King Georges Road, Hopelawn, Keasbey, Route 9 side and Fords center: every section of Fords gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Fords has 5 named sections our drivers know, and the approach changes from one to the next. Street parking on the older grid, small driveways. Flatbeds load from the street; cars often need to be pulled out from between parked vehicles. Below, what a tow looks like in each.
King Georges Road: what a tow looks like here
King Georges Road gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Fords: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in King Georges Road and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Hopelawn: what a tow looks like here
Hopelawn gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Fords: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Hopelawn and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Tow truck in Keasbey, Fords
Whether the car is in Keasbey 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. Keasbey matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Tow truck in Route 9 side, Fords
Whether the car is in Route 9 side 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. Route 9 side matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Fords center: what a tow looks like here
Fords center gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Fords: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 15 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Fords center and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Anywhere in Fords, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Fords that call for a tow truck: Hopelawn and Keasbey industrial edge, Fords Park and King Georges Road businesses and the roads between
In Fords the pickups cluster at Hopelawn and Keasbey industrial edge, Fords Park, King Georges Road businesses and Route 9 commercial strip and the lots at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 15 minutes.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Hopelawn and Keasbey industrial edge
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Hopelawn and Keasbey industrial edge gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Fords.
Towing at Fords Park
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Fords Park gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Fords.
Towing at King Georges Road businesses
A car that will not start at King Georges Road businesses 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 King Georges Road businesses, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Route 9 commercial strip: tow truck and roadside response
A car that will not start at Route 9 commercial strip 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 9 commercial strip, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Dead batteries and lockouts at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy
Station lots are where Fords 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 Fords and car lockouts in Fords.
If you are at one of these Fords 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 FordsWhat a good towing company in Fords does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
A towing company in Fords 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 9.
A tow is a purchase made under stress. These five checks take a minute and separate a straight company from an expensive surprise, in Fords or anywhere else.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
A towing price has two parts, the truck and the miles, and both can be settled before anyone leaves Linden for Fords. "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 is coming from and when it will arrive
When the answer to "where is the truck" is vague, the truck is probably not theirs. Ours leave Linden, which is 15 minutes from Fords 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.
Confirm that the car goes to your shop, not theirs
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 Fords this matters most; you do not have to accept the shop or the storage lot anyone else suggests.
The fourth rule: only the truck you called
On Route 9 and the other highways around Fords, 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.
Insist on an itemized receipt
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 areaTowing prices in Fords, NJ: hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call before a truck leaves Linden
Towing in Fords is priced as a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, quoted before dispatch; each roadside service has one flat price; nothing is added for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
How a tow from Fords is priced: hook, then miles
Hook fee first: it pays for the dispatch, the loading and the driver's time at the car. Then mileage, counted from the pickup in Fords to the drop. A tow to a shop in Fords or nearby Woodbridge is usually inside the base mileage; one across Middlesex County or beyond is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher gives you the sum, not the parts.
Flat roadside prices in Fords
A jump start is one price, a tire change is one price, a lockout, a fuel delivery and a winch-out likewise, and none of them rises at night, on a weekend or in bad weather. The only extra is the fuel itself, at cost. If the technician finds the car needs a tow after all, the tow replaces the roadside charge; there is no double call-out.
Surcharges you will not find on a Fords receipt
Nothing is added after the quote. Not for the hour, not for the holiday, not for a passenger, not for the fuel to get to Fords. Storage never appears because we do not take cars to a yard. The receipt matches the call.
Paying for a tow in Fords and getting reimbursed
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash are all taken on site, and fleets can set up monthly terms. Because the receipt lists the pickup in Fords, the destination, the mileage and the service, it satisfies insurers and roadside plans without a follow-up call. Collision coverage nearly always reimburses an accident tow; most memberships reimburse an outside call up to their cap.
Want the number for a tow in Fords before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towHow the season changes towing in Fords: what breaks on Route 9 and Route 440 in January, April, July and October
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of towing call from Fords: 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. Low ground toward Keasbey floods on the highest tides and heaviest storms.
Ask a dispatcher what Fords sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy in January, bent wheels off Route 440 in April, overheated cars on Route 9 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Middlesex County.
Winter in Fords: what freezes, what slides and what will not start
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 first storm of the year is the busiest night in Fords; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 9 has a car on it.
Spring towing in Fords after the thaw
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 Fords Park and along Route 9, 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.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Fords
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 Fords also fills the lots at Fords Park, 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 Fords: 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. Deer cross Route 440 and the quieter roads of Fords around Fords center at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Fords with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
The seasons change the calls from Fords, 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 FordsWhat to do while you wait for a tow truck in Fords: shoulders on Route 9, driveways, lots and garages
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.
On the shoulder of Route 9, or the Turnpike and Parkway
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. Runs right through Fords toward Sayreville; narrow shoulders and the Route 440 interchange. 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.
In a Fords driveway or on the street
Street parking on the older grid, small driveways. Flatbeds load from the street; cars often need to be pulled out from between parked vehicles. 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.
In a parking lot or under a deck in Fords
Tell the dispatcher which lot, Hopelawn and Keasbey industrial edge 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.
Keep the phone on and the paperwork ready
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 Fords note: Low ground toward Keasbey floods on the highest tides and heaviest storms.
Belted in, hazards on, phone charged. Now call. The driver will call you back before he arrives in Fords.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in FordsThe Fords drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
Towing in Fords serves roughly 15,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy, families in the residential streets, businesses near Fords Park, and drivers who only know Fords as an exit on Route 9.
The southern working section of Woodbridge Township along Route 9 and the Perth Amboy line: older homes on a tight grid, King Georges Road's businesses, and the Ford Avenue commercial corridor. Pickups, older sedans and the vans that work the nearby industrial waterfront. Those are the drivers of Fords, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
Fords commuters, from the platform at Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy to the driveway
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Fords, and Nearest stations: Woodbridge and Perth Amboy 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.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Fords
A community of about 15,000 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. Street parking on the older grid, small driveways. Flatbeds load from the street; cars often need to be pulled out from between parked vehicles. 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.
Businesses and fleets near Fords Park and King Georges Road businesses
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Fords 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 Fords businesses.
Strangers to Fords: breakdowns on Route 9 on the way somewhere else
Fords sits on Route 9, 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 Fords, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 9: everyone in Fords calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingQuestions Fords drivers ask before they call a tow truck
Arrival time to Fords, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
What is the arrival time for a tow in Fords?
On a normal day, about 15 minutes from the Linden yard; Fords is zone 1, under 20 minutes. Traffic on Route 9 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 Fords priced?
Two numbers, a flat hook fee and mileage to your destination, added up and quoted before dispatch. A short tow to a Fords 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.
Do you have a shop or a yard in Fords?
No location in Fords and none you need to find: the trucks are dispatched from Linden, 15 minutes out, straight to your car, whether it is on Route 9 or in a driveway.
Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or electric car in Fords?
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 Fords.
Can I choose where my car goes from Fords?
Anywhere you choose: your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway, in Fords or beyond. Never a storage yard we picked. Destinations outside the 45-minute area are quoted per mile.
Can you tow from a parking deck or a tight lot in Fords?
Yes. Street parking on the older grid, small driveways. Flatbeds load from the street; cars often need to be pulled out from between parked vehicles. Since a flatbed will not fit under most decks, the driver rolls the car to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loads it in the open. Give the dispatcher the name of the place and the level.
Can I ride in the tow truck from Fords?
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 Fords?
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 Fords 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 Fords.
A rotation tow is on its way to my crash in Fords. Can I use you instead?
If our truck arrives in a reasonable time and the scene is not blocking traffic, most officers will release the car to a private tow. Tell the officer your tow is on the way. If the car is already at a rotation yard, we can pick it up on a signed release and stop the storage clock the same day. See accident towing in Fords.
Is towing in Fords available at 3 a.m. or on a holiday?
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.
Which towns near Fords do you also cover?
Woodbridge, Perth Amboy, Sayreville, Iselin, Edison, Sewaren and South Amboy, and every other town within 45 minutes of Linden across Middlesex County and eight more counties. Each has its own page.
