Garfield, NJ towing service around the clock: a tow truck near you from our Linden yard, 42 minutes out
Flatbed and wheel-lift trucks dispatched to Garfield around the clock. A dense working city on the Passaic River with Passaic Street and Midland Avenue commerce, two train stations and tight two-family blocks. A real dispatcher answers, quotes a flat price, and tells you when the truck arrives.
Towing in Garfield, NJ from our Linden dispatch: 42 minutes out and answering 24 hours a day
From Linden, about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Garfield 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
A dense working city on the Passaic River with Passaic Street and Midland Avenue commerce, two train stations and tight two-family blocks. Older cars, two-sided parking, and Route 21 / River Drive breakdowns. From the Linden yard, Garfield is about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, so it sits in the outer ring of our 45-minute area.
Everything a Garfield driver needs to know before calling a tow truck is here, in the order you need it: how fast, how much, which truck, where we go. Or skip it and call (908) 444-0129; a real dispatcher picks up at any hour and quotes the job before the truck rolls.
A local towing company 42 minutes from Garfield
The whole point of a 45-minute radius is that the arrival window means something. For Garfield, that window is built on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton), River Drive and Passaic Street / Midland Avenue and on where the nearest truck is when you call, which the dispatcher can see. If traffic on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) is bad, you hear the real number, not a hopeful one.
Loading a car on Garfield streets, driveways and lots
Tight two-sided street parking on narrow blocks; few driveways. A flatbed loads from the corner. The dispatcher asks about it on the call so the truck is positioned right the first time instead of blocking a Garfield street while the driver works out an approach.
Breakdowns in Garfield: where they happen
The calls cluster where the cars are: Passaic Street commercial strip, Garfield station, Plauderville, Dahnert's Lake County Park and Passaic River waterfront, and the lots at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line). A jump start or a lockout fixes half of them on the spot; the rest are tows to the shop the Garfield driver chooses.
Flat towing prices in Garfield, quoted before the truck rolls
You hear the price before you commit: a hook fee plus mileage for a tow, or the flat rate for a roadside service. Nothing is added at night or on a holiday in Garfield, and nothing is added for a passenger in the cab. If you do not like the number, you hang up and owe nothing.
Broken down in Garfield this minute? The rest of this page can wait. Dispatch picks up 24/7 and quotes the job before the truck leaves Linden.
Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Bergen CountyTow truck service on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton), River Drive, Passaic Street / Midland Avenue and Outwater Lane: the roads we run to reach Garfield
Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton), River Drive and Passaic Street / Midland Avenue carry our trucks from Linden into Garfield, with Route 46 / Outwater Lane (Lodi side) and Route 21 via the Passaic bridges as the ramps we use, and we answer breakdowns on all of them.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Garfield by its roads: Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton), River Drive and Passaic Street / Midland Avenue and the streets between them. Each one below comes with the note our drivers actually use, from the narrow shoulder to the ramp that ices first. On the call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit, and the truck approaches from the right side.
Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) breakdowns and tows in Garfield
Runs along the west bank; the Garfield-side bridges feed it and jam at rush hour. A breakdown on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Garfield: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Towing on River Drive in Garfield
The riverside road through the city; floods and narrow. On River Drive we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Passaic Street / Midland Avenue breakdowns and tows in Garfield
The commercial spines; delivery trucks and crashes at the lights. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Passaic Street / Midland Avenue; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Towing on Outwater Lane in Garfield
The connector to Lodi and Route 46; congested. A breakdown on Outwater Lane is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Garfield: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
The exits our trucks take for Garfield
Route 46 / Outwater Lane (Lodi side) and Route 21 via the Passaic bridges are the exits our trucks use for Garfield. 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. On the express lanes of the Turnpike and Parkway, where there is no exit to reach, the Authority's garage brings the car off and we take over at the exit.

Call from the shoulderEmergency towingTowing in Garfield 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 Garfield from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Garfield page below.
The word "towing" covers eight different jobs in Garfield, and the dispatcher sorts them from what you say: a car that will not start at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line) is an emergency tow, an AWD or an EV is a flatbed, a crash on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) is an accident tow, a car in a ditch is a winch-out. Each has a page written for Garfield.
Garfield emergency towing
The call that comes in most from Garfield: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton), on River Drive, in a driveway or a lot at Passaic Street commercial 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 Garfield.
Garfield flatbed towing
All-wheel-drive SUVs, electric cars, lowered and luxury cars and anything that will not roll ride on a flatbed with all four wheels strapped at the tires. Tight two-sided street parking on narrow blocks; few driveways, so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Garfield.
Accident Towing for Garfield drivers
A crash in Garfield, whether on River Drive or in a lot at Passaic Street commercial strip, ends with two decisions: who tows the car and where it goes. Make both yours: call us before the rotation truck arrives, and we clear the lane, photograph the damage for the claim and deliver the car to the body shop you pick. See accident towing in Garfield.
Garfield local towing
Not every tow is an emergency. Garfield 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 Garfield.
Long Distance Towing for Garfield drivers
From Garfield 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 Garfield.
Garfield motorcycle towing
Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in Garfield 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 Garfield.
Heavy Duty Towing for Garfield drivers
A box truck stalled near Passaic Street commercial strip, a landscaping rig with a trailer on River Drive, a bus or a tractor working Garfield: 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 Garfield.
Garfield winch out
River Drive and the Passaic riverfront blocks flood in every major storm. 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 Garfield.
You do not have to name the service. Describe the car and where it is in Garfield, and dispatch chooses and prices the job.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside help in Garfield without a membership: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery
Roadside assistance in Garfield means a technician at your car in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour for a jump, a tire change, a lockout or fuel, each at a single flat price, with the flatbed dispatched from the same conversation if the car needs it after all.
Half the calls from Garfield that start as "I need a tow" end as a roadside fix for less money. The lots at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line) produce dead batteries all winter. The lots at Passaic Street commercial strip produce lockouts. Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) produces flats and empty tanks. A technician handles all of it.
Roadside Assistance for Garfield drivers
Roadside assistance in Garfield is a technician, not a truck: a jump pack for the battery, a jack and impact gun for the flat on River Drive, wedges and long-reach tools for the lockout at Passaic Street commercial strip, a can of fuel for the tank that ran dry. Each is one flat price, no membership, and the tow is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold. See roadside assistance in Garfield.
Jump Start in Garfield
The jump-start call from Garfield is usually a car that clicks and does nothing, often at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line) 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 Garfield.
Garfield flat tire change
Potholes on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) and River Drive 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 Garfield.
Car Lockout for Garfield drivers
Damage-free lockouts anywhere in Garfield, day or night, including trunks and push-button cars with the fob inside. We open the door; we do not cut keys. ID checked after entry. See car lockout in Garfield.
Fuel Delivery in Garfield
Ran dry on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) or in a Garfield 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 Garfield.
Battery dead, tire flat, keys inside or tank empty somewhere in Garfield? A technician is dispatched from the same line as the trucks, membership not required.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in GarfieldLanza Avenue area, Outwater Lane, Plauderville and Passaic Street and more: tow truck response in every part of Garfield
Lanza Avenue area, Outwater Lane, Plauderville, Passaic Street, Midland Avenue and River Drive: every section of Garfield gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Garfield has 6 named sections our drivers know, and the approach changes from one to the next. Tight two-sided street parking on narrow blocks; few driveways. A flatbed loads from the corner. Below, what a tow looks like in each.
Tow truck in Lanza Avenue area, Garfield
In Lanza Avenue area the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Lanza Avenue 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 Lanza Avenue area as in the rest of Garfield: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Outwater Lane: what a tow looks like here
Whether the car is in Outwater Lane 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. Outwater Lane matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Plauderville: what a tow looks like here
Plauderville gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Garfield: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Plauderville 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 Passaic Street, Garfield
Whether the car is in Passaic Street 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. Passaic Street matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Midland Avenue
In Midland Avenue the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Midland Avenue 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 Midland Avenue as in the rest of Garfield: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Tow truck in River Drive, Garfield
In River Drive the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A River Drive 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 River Drive as in the rest of Garfield: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Anywhere in Garfield, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchPassaic River waterfront, Passaic Street commercial strip and Garfield station: the Garfield spots our trucks are sent to most
Passaic River waterfront, Passaic Street commercial strip, Garfield station, Plauderville and Dahnert's Lake County Park and the lots at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line) are where Garfield drivers most often need us, and each is about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from a Linden truck or technician.
Towing at Passaic River waterfront
Passaic River waterfront is one of the places Garfield 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.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Passaic Street commercial strip
We reach Passaic Street commercial strip in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Passaic Street commercial 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 Passaic Street commercial strip the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Garfield station
Garfield station is one of the places Garfield 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.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Plauderville
We reach Plauderville in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Plauderville 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 Plauderville the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Dahnert's Lake County Park
A car that will not start at Dahnert's Lake County Park 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 Dahnert's Lake County Park, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Jump starts and lockouts at the station lots: Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line)
Commuter lots are dead-battery country: a dome light left on at 7 a.m. is a car that will not start at 7 p.m. A technician with a commercial jump pack meets you at the car, starts it and load-tests the battery so you know whether it will hold. Keys locked in the car at the station are opened without damage in minutes. Both are one flat price; see jump starts in Garfield and car lockouts in Garfield.
If you are at one of these Garfield 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 GarfieldHow to choose a towing company in Garfield, NJ: the five questions to ask before a truck is sent
A towing company in Garfield 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 21 (via Passaic and Clifton).
Nobody in Garfield shops for a tow company on a good day; the search happens on the shoulder of Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) with the hazards on. These five checks fit in the first minute of any call, ours included.
Get the full price before a truck is sent to Garfield
The price for a tow is knowable on the phone: the truck the car needs and the miles to where it is going. A company that says "the driver will tell you" is planning to tell you when the car is already on the truck. We quote hook plus mileage, or one flat price for a roadside job, and the number on the receipt matches. The details are in the pricing section.
Ask where the truck actually is right now
A call center that answers "twenty minutes" is quoting a subcontractor it has not spoken to yet. Our trucks are dispatched from Linden, 42 minutes from Garfield when the roads are clear, and the dispatcher sees where the nearest one is on a screen. You get the honest window, and at rush hour on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) that includes the bad news. The roads section is built on that same real distance.
The third question: where does the car end up
Where the car goes is your decision, not the driver's: a mechanic you trust, the dealer, a body shop, home. When a company steers the car to its own yard, storage fees start the same night. After an accident in Garfield hold onto that choice; neither the other driver, the officer nor the tow company gets to pick your shop or your storage lot.
The fourth rule: only the truck you called
A tow truck that arrives on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) or another highway near Garfield without being called was listening for the crash, and the bill it produces is exactly what New Jersey's towing rules exist to stop. When our driver walks up he gives the company name and your name. You are allowed to decline any truck you did not call and wait for the one you did.
Insist on an itemized receipt
An itemized receipt lists the hook, the miles, the pickup and drop addresses, the time and the plate, and it is the difference between a reimbursed tow and one you pay for yourself. We send it at the drop by text or email. If something on it needs explaining, the number to call is the dispatch line, (908) 444-0129, and a person answers. See contacting dispatch.
Ask any of the five when you call Garfield dispatch; the answers match this page, word for word.
Call and askService areaTowing prices in Garfield, NJ: hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call before a truck leaves Linden
Towing in Garfield 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 Garfield 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 Garfield to the drop. A tow to a shop in Garfield or nearby Lodi is usually inside the base mileage; one across Bergen County or beyond is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher gives you the sum, not the parts.
Roadside in Garfield: a single price for each service
Each roadside service in Garfield, 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 is never on a Garfield towing bill
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 Garfield, call dispatch from the scene.
Payment and reimbursement for a Garfield tow
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 Garfield, 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.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of a tow from Garfield. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Garfield through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton)
Towing in Garfield is a year-round service, but the calls change with the season: batteries and ice in winter, potholes in spring, heat and tire failures in summer, storms and deer in the fall. River Drive and the Passaic riverfront blocks flood in every major storm.
Ask a dispatcher what Garfield sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line) in January, bent wheels off River Drive in April, overheated cars on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Bergen County.
Towing in Garfield 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 Garfield 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 Garfield: 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 Passaic Street commercial strip and along Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton), 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 Garfield: 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 Garfield also fills the lots at Passaic Street commercial 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.
Towing in Garfield from October to December
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 Garfield; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Garfield.
The seasons change the calls from Garfield, 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 GarfieldWhile you wait for the truck in Garfield: on the shoulder of Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton), in a driveway, in a lot or under a deck
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 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) or River Drive
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. Runs along the west bank; the Garfield-side bridges feed it and jam at rush hour. A truck that appears without being called is not ours; ours announces the company name and your name.
Parked in a Garfield driveway or at the curb
Tight two-sided street parking on narrow blocks; few driveways. A flatbed loads from the corner. 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.
Garfield lots and garages: what the driver needs to know
Tell the dispatcher which lot, Passaic River waterfront 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
Expect a call from the driver when he is minutes out, so keep the phone charged. Have your license, registration and insurance card together; after a lockout they are checked before the truck leaves. You get the itemized receipt at the drop. Worth knowing in Garfield: River Drive and the Passaic riverfront blocks flood in every major storm.
Belt on, hazards on, phone charged. Make the call; the driver rings you before he reaches Garfield.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in GarfieldThe Garfield drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
The towing calls from Garfield come from a city of about 33,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line), the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Passaic Street commercial strip, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton).
A dense working city on the Passaic River with Passaic Street and Midland Avenue commerce, two train stations and tight two-family blocks. Older cars, two-sided parking, and Route 21 / River Drive breakdowns. Those are the drivers of Garfield, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
Commuters in Garfield and the lot at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line)
The lot at Garfield station and Plauderville station (NJ Transit Bergen County Line) is where Garfield 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.
Garfield households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
A city of about 33,000 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. Tight two-sided street parking on narrow blocks; few driveways. A flatbed loads from the corner. 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.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Passaic Street commercial strip
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Garfield 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 Garfield businesses.
Drivers passing through Garfield on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton)
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Garfield have never heard of it; they were on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as Route 46 / Outwater Lane (Lodi side), 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.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton): everyone in Garfield calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

The questions below cover arrival time in Garfield, price, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How fast can a tow truck get to Garfield?
About 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from our Linden yard on a normal day; Garfield is in zone 3 (35–45 minutes). Rush hour on Route 21 (via Passaic and Clifton) and storms stretch it, and the dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
How much does a tow cost in Garfield?
Two numbers, a flat hook fee and mileage to your destination, added up and quoted before dispatch. A short tow to a Garfield 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.
Can I bring my car to you in Garfield?
No. We are a mobile service-area business dispatched from Linden, 42 minutes away. There is no shop to drive to; the truck comes to your car anywhere in Garfield.
Is a flatbed available in Garfield for AWD and EVs?
Every AWD and every electric car in Garfield goes on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground; a wheel-lift is never used. Say the model when you call so the right truck rolls. See flatbed towing in Garfield.
Can I choose where my car goes from Garfield?
Anywhere you choose: your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway, in Garfield or beyond. Never a storage yard we picked. Destinations outside the 45-minute area are quoted per mile.
What if my car is in a garage in Garfield the truck cannot enter?
Yes. Tight two-sided street parking on narrow blocks; few driveways. A flatbed loads from the corner. 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 Garfield?
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.
Can anyone in Garfield call, without a membership?
Anyone can call. There is no plan to join and no insurance to show; payment is by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car. You get an itemized receipt, which most policies and roadside plans accept for reimbursement.
What if my car in Garfield just needs a jump, a tire or a lockout?
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 Garfield.
Can you take my car from a crash scene in Garfield if the police called another truck?
In most cases, yes. Officers generally let a private tow take the car when it arrives promptly and the scene is not blocking the road, so say your truck is on the way. If the car is already in a rotation yard, a signed release lets us collect it the same day before storage adds up. See accident towing in Garfield.
Do you tow at night and on holidays in Garfield?
Yes. The dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and a tow in Garfield at 3 a.m. on a holiday is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.
What other towns around Garfield do you serve?
Lodi, Saddle Brook, Elmwood Park, Passaic, Clifton and Hackensack, and every other town within 45 minutes of Linden across Bergen County and eight more counties. Each has its own page.
