Broke Down in New Jersey? The Emergency Towing Guide for Drivers
If your car has stopped somewhere it should not be, get yourself out of the path of traffic first and call for the truck second. Everything else in this guide, from what to say on the phone to where the car should go, comes after those two moves. Read the emergency towing guide · Emergency Towing service
Flatbed Towing in New Jersey: The Complete Driver's Guide
You need a flatbed if your car is all-wheel drive, electric, lowered, badly damaged or will not roll, because those cars can be hurt by having two wheels turning on the road. For an ordinary front-wheel-drive car that rolls and steers, a wheel-lift is usually fine, and the dispatcher should tell you which one is coming before it leaves.

After a Crash in New Jersey: A Step-by-Step Accident Towing Guide
After a crash, check for injuries and call 911 before anything else, then decide where the car goes before a truck you did not choose decides for you. You have the right to pick the tow company and the repair shop, and a few minutes of preparation at the scene saves days of hassle afterward. Read the accident towing guide · Accident Towing service
How to Plan a Local Tow in New Jersey: A Practical Guide
A local tow goes smoothly when you know three things before you call: where the car is, where it is going, and whether the destination will be open to receive it. Get those right and you pay for one trip instead of two. Read the local towing guide · Local Towing service
Moving a Car a Long Way From New Jersey: The Long Distance Towing Guide
For one car that needs to go a long way soon, a dedicated flatbed is the most direct option: it picks up at one door and delivers to the other the same day. Plan the paperwork at both ends, get one all-in price before you book, and prepare the car so the driver can load it quickly. Read the long distance towing guide · Long Distance Towing service
Motorcycle Broke Down? A New Jersey Rider's Guide to Getting It Towed
Get yourself and the bike off the pavement first, then call for a flatbed with a wheel chock, because a motorcycle should never be towed on a wheel-lift or in a sling. If you were in a crash, call 911 before anything else and do not ride the bike again until it has been checked. Read the motorcycle towing guide · Motorcycle Towing service
Commercial Truck Breakdown in New Jersey: The Heavy Duty Towing Guide
When a commercial vehicle breaks down, secure the scene first, then call with the weight class, the load and the exact location so the right wrecker is sent the first time. The wrong truck is the most expensive mistake in heavy towing, because it means a second dispatch and a longer wait. Read the heavy duty towing guide · Heavy Duty Towing service
Stuck in Snow, Mud or a Ditch in New Jersey: What to Do Before the Winch Truck Arrives
If your car is off the pavement and will not climb back on its own, stop trying after one gentle attempt, make yourself safe, and call for a winch out. Most stuck cars are not broken, and a straight, controlled pull from a recovery truck puts them back on the road without the damage that spinning tires and well-meaning pushers cause.

Broken Down in New Jersey: A Driver's Guide to Roadside Assistance
When your car stops, get it and yourself out of harm's way first, then match what the car is doing to the right fix before you call. Many breakdowns are a dead battery, a flat, an empty tank, locked keys or a car stuck off the pavement, and those are fixed where the car sits; the rest need a tow, and knowing which saves time and money.

Dead Battery in New Jersey: The Complete Jump-Start Guide
If the car clicks, cranks slowly or shows dim lights when you turn the key, the battery is the likely cause and a jump start will usually get you moving. Before you clamp on cables, check that it really is the battery, turn everything off, and know that a jump is a fix for a drained battery, not for one that is worn out.

Flat Tire on a New Jersey Road: What to Do, Step by Step
When a tire goes flat, slow down gradually, get completely off the road on the side away from traffic, and only then decide how the tire gets changed. A spare, a jack and a safe spot to work are all you need, and if any one of those is missing, the right move is to call for a technician or a tow rather than improvise.

Keys Locked in the Car: A New Jersey Driver's Lockout Guide
If a child, a pet or a vulnerable adult is locked inside, call 911 first. Otherwise, check every door and the spare-key options before anything else, and if the car is still shut, have it opened with proper tools rather than a coat hanger, because a damaged door costs far more than a lockout call.

Out of Gas in New Jersey: What to Do and How Fuel Delivery Works
When the engine sputters and the gauge is low, coast fully off the road, turn on the hazards and stay with the car instead of walking to a station. A few gallons delivered to the car usually get you to the pump, but if the wrong fuel went in, do not start the engine at all. Read the fuel delivery guide · Fuel Delivery service
