Our trucks reach Highland Park in roughly 27 minutes. That makes it our second response zone, and it shapes everything below.

Small cars, commuter cars and a lot of street parking.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Highland Park, 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. If you are stuck right now, skip all of it and call (908) 444-0129. A dispatcher answers 24 hours a day and quotes a flat price before the truck leaves Linden.
A local towing company 27 minutes from Highland Park
Highland Park 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 roughly 27 minutes by Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), River Road and Woodbridge Avenue, off at Route 18 at Route 27 (New Brunswick side), and the arrival window the dispatcher gives you comes from where the nearest truck is at that moment. If Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) is backed up, you hear that, not a guess.
Loading a car on Highland Park streets, driveways and lots
Tight curbside parking on narrow streets with permit zones; cars are often boxed in and dollied out before loading. Small driveways. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is in Highland Park and the driver arrives with the right rigging out: boards for a low bumper, skates for a nose-in spot, a dolly for a wheel that will not turn.
Breakdowns in Highland Park: where they happen
Most Highland Park calls come from a short list of places: Raritan Avenue downtown, Johnson Park, Albany Street Bridge to New Brunswick and Donaldson Park, and the lots at Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge. Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
Flat towing prices in Highland Park, quoted before the truck rolls
Every tow from Highland Park 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.
Broken down in Highland Park 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 Middlesex CountyRoute 27 (Raritan Avenue), River Road, Woodbridge Avenue and Route 18: how our trucks reach Highland Park and what happens on each road
Our route from Linden to Highland Park runs Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), River Road and Woodbridge Avenue, coming off at Route 18 at Route 27 (New Brunswick side) and I-287 at River Road (Piscataway), and a breakdown on any of those roads is a direct dispatch.
These are the roads a Highland Park 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 27 (Raritan Avenue), Highland Park
The main street and the bridge to New Brunswick; slow, parked up, and where most in-town calls start. On Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Tow truck response on River Road, Highland Park
Along Johnson Park to Piscataway; floods and ices. On River Road we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Tow truck response on Woodbridge Avenue, Highland Park
Connector to Edison; residential and tight. On Woodbridge Avenue we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Towing on Route 18 in Highland Park
Across the river in New Brunswick; the nearest highway. If you are on a shoulder of Route 18, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Highland Park by exit number
Route 18 at Route 27 (New Brunswick side) and I-287 at River Road (Piscataway) are the exits our trucks use for Highland Park. On the highway, the nearest exit number and your direction are what the dispatcher needs first. 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.
Stopped on a shoulder near Highland Park? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingTowing in Highland Park 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 Highland Park from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Highland Park page below.
Towing in Highland Park is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), a box truck down near Raritan Avenue downtown and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has a Highland Park-specific page with the details.
Emergency Towing in Highland Park
Emergency towing in Highland Park means the car is not moving and you need it gone now: from Johnson Park, from a driveway in Raritan Avenue downtown, from the shoulder of River Road. The dispatcher quotes the tow, the nearest truck is assigned while you are on the line, and it costs the same at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m. See emergency towing in Highland Park.
Highland Park flatbed towing
Highland Park 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 Highland Park.
Accident Towing in Highland Park
A crash in Highland Park, whether on River Road or in a lot at Raritan Avenue downtown, 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 Highland Park.
Local Towing for Highland Park drivers
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Highland Park or in New Brunswick, from the dealer, out of a driveway where a project car has sat too long, or to the inspection station on a car with dead plates. Hook plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled for a time that suits you or sent right away. See local towing in Highland Park.
Highland Park long distance towing
A car leaving Highland Park for another state, a college campus or a buyer who found it online rides on one flatbed with one driver the whole way, at one price quoted before it is loaded: hook, mileage, tolls and the return leg included. Photos at pickup and at the drop. See long distance towing in Highland Park.
Motorcycle Towing in Highland Park
A motorcycle from Highland Park never rides on a sling or a wheel-lift; it stands upright in a front-wheel chock on the flatbed with soft loops on the bars and the fairings protected. A breakdown on River Road, a bike that will not start after winter storage, or a drop in the driveway: say the model and it is loaded right. See motorcycle towing in Highland Park.
Heavy Duty Towing in Highland Park
A box truck stalled near Raritan Avenue downtown, a landscaping rig with a trailer on River Road, a bus or a tractor working Highland Park: 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 Highland Park.
Highland Park winch out
River Road and Johnson Park flood with the Raritan. 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 Highland Park.
Not sure which one you need in Highland Park? Describe what happened and the dispatcher decides, then quotes it.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside assistance near you in Highland Park: jump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel without a membership
A technician comes to your car anywhere in Highland Park for a jump start, a tire change, a lockout or fuel delivery at one flat price each, and the flatbed is dispatched from the same call if the car needs a tow after all.
Most Highland Park breakdowns are not tows. A battery that died in the lot at Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge, a flat on River Road, keys locked in the car at Johnson Park, an empty tank on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue): each is fixed on the spot by a tech with the right tool, and you drive away.
Roadside Assistance for Highland Park drivers
Roadside assistance in Highland Park is a technician, not a truck: a jump pack for the battery, a jack and impact gun for the flat on River Road, wedges and long-reach tools for the lockout at Raritan Avenue downtown, 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 Highland Park.
Jump Start in Highland Park
The jump-start call from Highland Park is usually a car that clicks and does nothing, often at Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge 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 Highland Park.
Flat Tire Change for Highland Park drivers
A flat in Highland Park is changed behind the truck's light bar with the car well off the lane, whether on River Road or in a lot at Raritan Avenue downtown: floor jack, impact gun, your spare on, lug nuts torqued. If the spare is missing or flat, the car is towed to the tire shop you choose at a price quoted on the same call. See flat tire change in Highland Park.
Highland Park car lockout
Keys locked in the car at Raritan Avenue downtown, at a pump on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), or in a Highland Park 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 Highland Park.
Fuel Delivery for Highland Park drivers
Out of fuel in Highland Park, on River Road or in a driveway after the gauge lied all week: a few gallons of gas or diesel are delivered around the clock, enough to reach a station, and a diesel that ran dry is primed before it is restarted. Put the wrong fuel in? Do not start it; we tow it to be drained. See fuel delivery in Highland Park.
A jump, a spare, an unlocked door or a few gallons of gas in Highland Park: one call, one flat price, no plan to join.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in Highland ParkEvery Highland Park neighborhood gets the same truck: South side / Donaldson Park, Woodbridge Avenue section, Raritan Avenue downtown and North side / Johnson Park
From South side / Donaldson Park to North side / Johnson Park, every part of Highland Park is served by the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is South side / Donaldson Park, Woodbridge Avenue section, Raritan Avenue downtown and North side / Johnson Park.
Ask a driver where in Highland Park the car is and he wants a neighborhood, not just a street number. Tight curbside parking on narrow streets with permit zones; cars are often boxed in and dollied out before loading. Small driveways.
Tow truck in South side / Donaldson Park, Highland Park
South side / Donaldson Park gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Highland Park: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in roughly 27 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in South side / Donaldson Park and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Towing and roadside help in Woodbridge Avenue section
Calls from Woodbridge Avenue section are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Highland Park: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Woodbridge Avenue section; it is faster than a house number on a long Highland Park block.
Towing and roadside help in Raritan Avenue downtown
Raritan Avenue downtown gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Highland Park: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in roughly 27 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Raritan Avenue downtown and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Towing and roadside help in North side / Johnson Park
In North side / Johnson Park the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A North side / Johnson Park 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 North side / Johnson Park as in the rest of Highland Park: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Anywhere in Highland Park, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Highland Park that call for a tow truck: Johnson Park, Albany Street Bridge to New Brunswick and Donaldson Park and the roads between
In Highland Park the pickups cluster at Johnson Park, Albany Street Bridge to New Brunswick, Donaldson Park and Raritan Avenue downtown and the lots at Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in roughly 27 minutes.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Johnson Park
A car that will not start at Johnson 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 Johnson Park, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Albany Street Bridge to New Brunswick
A car that will not start at Albany Street Bridge to New Brunswick 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 Albany Street Bridge to New Brunswick, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Towing at Donaldson Park
We reach Donaldson Park in roughly 27 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Donaldson Park 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 Donaldson Park the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Raritan Avenue downtown
Raritan Avenue downtown is one of the places Highland Park 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.
Dead batteries and lockouts at Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge
Station lots are where Highland Park 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 Highland Park and car lockouts in Highland Park.
Stuck at Johnson Park or another of these places? Give the name and the lot section, and the truck or the technician heads out.
Call (908) 444-0129Jump start in Highland ParkHow to choose a towing company in Highland Park, NJ: the five questions to ask before a truck is sent
A towing company in Highland Park 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 27 (Raritan Avenue).
Most drivers in Highland Park pick a tow company once, in a hurry, from a search result. Here is what to listen for in the first minute of the call, whoever you call.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
Nothing about the price of a tow needs to wait for the driver: the truck the car needs and the miles to the destination are both known on the phone. When a company answers "the driver will tell you," the number arrives once the car is already on the deck and your leverage is gone. Our dispatcher quotes hook plus mileage for a tow or one flat price for a roadside job, and the receipt repeats it. See the pricing section for how it is built.
The second question: how far away is the truck, really
When the answer to "where is the truck" is vague, the truck is probably not theirs. Ours leave Linden, which is 27 minutes from Highland Park 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.
Make sure the car goes where you say
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 Highland Park this matters most; you do not have to accept the shop or the storage lot anyone else suggests.
Never take a tow from a truck you did not call
Trucks that appear uninvited at a crash on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) or the highways around Highland Park are chasing the job, and the invoice that follows is the reason the state regulates non-consensual tows. Our driver identifies the company and says your name on arrival. If another truck gets there first, say no and wait; that is your right.
Ask for a receipt that lists every charge
Hook fee, mileage, addresses, time, plate. That is what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan needs to reimburse you, and it is what you need if anything is questioned later. We send it by text or email at the drop. Questions afterward go to the same dispatch line at (908) 444-0129, not a billing office. More on contacting dispatch.
Put the five questions to us. Every answer is already on this page, and the dispatcher gives the same ones out loud.
Call and askService areaTowing prices in Highland Park, NJ: hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call before a truck leaves Linden
A tow in Highland Park is a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted on the call; roadside services are one flat price each; there are no night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
How a tow from Highland Park is priced: hook, then miles
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Highland Park to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Highland Park itself or in New Brunswick usually falls within the base mileage; a tow across the county is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher adds the two and gives you one total.
Roadside in Highland Park: a single price for each service
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.
What is never on a Highland Park towing bill
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 Highland Park. Storage never appears because we do not take cars to a yard. The receipt matches the call.
Payment and reimbursement for a Highland Park tow
All major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site; net terms for fleet accounts. The itemized receipt shows the Highland Park pickup, the destination, the mileage and the service, which is what insurers and roadside plans need. Collision coverage almost always reimburses an accident tow; most roadside memberships reimburse an out-of-network call up to their limit.
Get the exact price for a tow in Highland Park in thirty seconds. Asking is free.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towHow the season changes towing in Highland Park: what breaks on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) and River Road in January, April, July and October
Towing in Highland Park 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 Road and Johnson Park flood with the Raritan.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Highland Park for a few winters knows what the calendar does to the calls. The notes below are the pattern, so you know what to expect from towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Winter in Highland Park: 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 Highland Park; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) has a car on it.
Spring towing in Highland Park 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 Raritan Avenue downtown and along Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), 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 Highland Park
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 Highland Park also fills the lots at Raritan Avenue downtown, 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.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Highland Park
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 River Road and the quieter roads of Highland Park around Raritan Avenue downtown at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Highland Park 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.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Highland Park. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in Highland ParkWhile you wait for the truck in Highland Park: on the shoulder of Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), 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.
Stopped on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) or on River Road
If it will roll, roll it: fully onto the shoulder, or off at the next exit if one is close. Wheels turned away from traffic, hazards on. The safest place is inside the car with the belt on, unless the car itself is at risk, in which case stand behind the guardrail well away from it. The main street and the bridge to New Brunswick; slow, parked up, and where most in-town calls start. Decline any truck you did not call; our driver gives the company name and yours.
On a residential street or in a driveway in Highland Park
Tight curbside parking on narrow streets with permit zones; cars are often boxed in and dollied out before loading. Small driveways. Before the truck arrives, move bikes, cans and the other car out of the driver's way, unlock the car and have the key ready. If the street has alternate-side rules or a sweeping schedule, tell the dispatcher and we get the car out ahead of the ticket.
In a lot or a garage in Highland Park
Say the name of the place, the lot section or the garage level, and the posted clearance if you can see it. A flatbed does not fit under most decks; the car is moved to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded outside. Meet the driver at the car if you can, and take your belongings out before it is loaded.
Phone charged, papers in hand
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 Highland Park note: River Road and Johnson Park flood with the Raritan.
Belted in, hazards on, phone charged. Now call. The driver will call you back before he arrives in Highland Park.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in Highland ParkWho calls for towing in Highland Park: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue)
The towing calls from Highland Park come from a borough of about 15,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Raritan Avenue downtown, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue).
A compact, walkable borough across the Raritan from New Brunswick: Raritan Avenue's shops, tight residential streets, Rutgers faculty and student renters, and Johnson Park along the river. Small cars, commuter cars and a lot of street parking. That mix shapes the towing calls we get from Highland Park.
Highland Park commuters, from the platform at Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge to the driveway
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Highland Park, and Nearest station: New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) across the bridge 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.
Families in the residential streets of Highland Park
The borough has a lot of two- and three-car households, and the spare car is the one that fails. A local tow to the shop or the dealer is priced as hook plus mileage, quoted on the call. If you are locked out with a child inside, call 911 first and then us; that call goes to the front of the line.
Highland Park businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Raritan Avenue downtown cannot sit for a day. A small business in Highland Park gets the same dispatcher and the same flat quote, plus an itemized receipt that works for the books. Larger trucks are a heavy-duty job in Highland Park, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Strangers to Highland Park: breakdowns on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) on the way somewhere else
Highland Park sits on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue), 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 Highland Park, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Highland Park dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.

The questions below cover arrival time in Highland Park, 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 Highland Park?
Roughly 27 minutes, off-peak, from Linden to Highland Park (zone 2, 20–35 minutes). When Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) is jammed or the weather is bad the window grows, and you hear the honest number when you call, not a slogan.
How much does a tow cost in Highland Park?
Two numbers, a flat hook fee and mileage to your destination, added up and quoted before dispatch. A short tow to a Highland Park 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.
Is there a NJ Towing Service location in Highland Park?
No location in Highland Park and none you need to find: the trucks are dispatched from Linden, 27 minutes out, straight to your car, whether it is on Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) or in a driveway.
Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or electric car in Highland Park?
Yes, on a flatbed only, so no drive wheels are dragged. Tell the dispatcher the make and model and the right truck comes the first time. See flatbed towing in Highland Park.
Can I choose where my car goes from Highland Park?
The destination is yours: a mechanic, a dealership, a body shop, home, inside Highland Park or well outside it. The car never goes to a yard of our choosing. Runs past the 45-minute area are quoted by the mile.
What if my car is in a garage in Highland Park the truck cannot enter?
Yes. Tight curbside parking on narrow streets with permit zones; cars are often boxed in and dollied out before loading. Small driveways. A flatbed does not fit under most decks, so the car is moved to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded outside. Tell the dispatcher the place and the level.
Can I ride in the tow truck from Highland Park?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab to the destination. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car.
Do I need a membership or insurance to call you in Highland Park?
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 Highland Park 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 Highland Park.
Can you take my car from a crash scene in Highland Park 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 Highland Park.
Do you tow at night and on holidays in Highland Park?
Around the clock, every day. Dispatch never closes, and the price structure for Highland Park does not change for the hour, the weekend or the holiday.
Do you cover the towns next to Highland Park too?
New Brunswick, Edison, Piscataway, Metuchen, North Brunswick and Franklin Township, plus every town within 45 minutes of Linden in Middlesex County and eight other counties, each with a page of its own.
