How close our trucks really are to Hillside
We do not list every town in New Jersey; we list the ones a truck from Linden can reach inside 45 minutes and quote honestly. Hillside is about 12 minutes out by Route 22, I-78 and Liberty Avenue, and the dispatcher builds your arrival window from where the nearest available truck actually is, not from a slogan. Rush hour and storms stretch it, and you are told so on the call.
What the driver plans for before he reaches Hillside
Two-family houses with shared driveways and curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets; boxed-in cars are the daily reality. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is in Hillside 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.
Where Hillside drivers call us from most
Most Hillside calls come from a short list of places: Conant Street industrial area, Evergreen Cemetery, Hillside Avenue schools cluster, Route 22 shopping strip and Liberty Avenue business district, and the lots at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) and NJ Transit bus routes on Route 22 and Liberty Avenue. Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on Route 22, and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
Flat towing prices in Hillside, 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 Hillside, and nothing is added for a passenger in the cab. If you do not like the number, you hang up and owe nothing.
Stuck in Hillside right now? Skip the reading. Dispatch answers 24/7 and quotes the price before the truck rolls.

The northern commercial strip shared with Union; jughandles and stalled cars in the center lane. A breakdown on Route 22 is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Hillside: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Towing on I-78 in Hillside

Stopped on a shoulder near Hillside? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEight towing services dispatched to Hillside: 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 Hillside from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Hillside page below.
The word "towing" covers eight different jobs in Hillside, and the dispatcher sorts them from what you say: a car that will not start at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) is an emergency tow, an AWD or an EV is a flatbed, a crash on Route 22 is an accident tow, a car in a ditch is a winch-out. Each has a page written for Hillside.
Emergency Towing in Hillside
A car dead on Route 22 at 2 a.m. or in a Hillside driveway before the school run gets the same answer: a real dispatcher, a flat quote and a truck from Linden in about 12 minutes. See emergency towing in Hillside.
Hillside 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. Two-family houses with shared driveways and curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets; boxed-in cars are the daily reality., so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Hillside.
Hillside accident towing
After a crash on Route 22 or at a Hillside intersection, calling your own tow before the police rotation truck arrives keeps you in control of where the car goes and what it costs. We recover, clear the lane, photograph the car for your insurer and deliver it to the body shop you choose. See accident towing in Hillside.
Local Towing for Hillside drivers
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Hillside or in Elizabeth, 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 Hillside.
Long Distance Towing for Hillside drivers
A car that has to go a long way from Hillside rides on a dedicated flatbed at a quoted per-mile price, photographed at both ends and checked at every stop. Details on long distance towing in Hillside.
Motorcycle Towing in Hillside
Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in Hillside 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 Hillside.
Hillside heavy duty towing
A box truck stalled near Route 22 shopping strip, a landscaping rig with a trailer on I-78, a bus or a tractor working Hillside: 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 Hillside.
Winch Out in Hillside
Stuck in snow, mud or a ditch in Hillside but not damaged? That is a winch-out, not a tow, and it costs less. Straight pull, no bumper hooks, and the flatbed is already there if something is bent. See winch out in Hillside.
Cannot tell which of the eight you need in Hillside? Say what happened; the dispatcher picks the truck and quotes it.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside assistance near you in Hillside: jump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel without a membership
For a dead battery, a flat, keys locked inside or an empty tank anywhere in Hillside, 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.
Half the calls from Hillside that start as "I need a tow" end as a roadside fix for less money. The lots at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) and NJ Transit bus routes on Route 22 and Liberty Avenue produce dead batteries all winter. The lots at Route 22 shopping strip produce lockouts. Route 22 produces flats and empty tanks. A technician handles all of it.
Roadside Assistance for Hillside drivers
Roadside assistance in Hillside is a technician, not a truck: a jump pack for the battery, a jack and impact gun for the flat on I-78, wedges and long-reach tools for the lockout at Route 22 shopping 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 Hillside.
Jump Start in Hillside
A car that sat all day at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) with a dome light on is the classic Hillside 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 Hillside.
Hillside flat tire change
A flat in Hillside is changed behind the truck's light bar with the car well off the lane, whether on I-78 or in a lot at Route 22 shopping strip: 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 Hillside.
Car Lockout for Hillside drivers
Damage-free lockouts anywhere in Hillside, 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 Hillside.
Fuel Delivery in Hillside
Fuel delivery to any road or driveway in Hillside at a flat delivery price plus the fuel. If the car will not restart afterward, the tow is quoted on the spot. See fuel delivery in Hillside.
Battery dead, tire flat, keys inside or tank empty somewhere in Hillside? A technician is dispatched from the same line as the trucks, membership not required.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in HillsideConant Street industrial area, Salem Park, Elizabeth border and Liberty Avenue and more: tow truck response in every part of Hillside
From Conant Street industrial area to North Hillside / Route 22 side, every part of Hillside is served by the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is Conant Street industrial area, Salem Park, Elizabeth border, Liberty Avenue and North Hillside / Route 22 side.
Hillside has 5 named sections our drivers know, and the approach changes from one to the next. Two-family houses with shared driveways and curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets; boxed-in cars are the daily reality. Below, what a tow looks like in each.
Tow truck in Conant Street industrial area, Hillside
Calls from Conant Street industrial area are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Hillside: 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 Conant Street industrial area; it is faster than a house number on a long Hillside block.
Salem Park: what a tow looks like here
In Salem Park the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Salem 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 Salem Park as in the rest of Hillside: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Elizabeth border: what a tow looks like here
Whether the car is in Elizabeth border 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. Elizabeth border matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Liberty Avenue: what a tow looks like here
Calls from Liberty Avenue are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Hillside: 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 Liberty Avenue; it is faster than a house number on a long Hillside block.
Towing and roadside help in North Hillside / Route 22 side
Calls from North Hillside / Route 22 side are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Hillside: 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 North Hillside / Route 22 side; it is faster than a house number on a long Hillside block.
No neighborhood in Hillside is priced differently or answered slower; the number and the dispatch are the same everywhere.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Hillside that call for a tow truck: Evergreen Cemetery, Hillside Avenue schools cluster and Route 22 shopping strip and the roads between
In Hillside the pickups cluster at Evergreen Cemetery, Hillside Avenue schools cluster, Route 22 shopping strip, Liberty Avenue business district and Conant Street industrial area and the lots at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) and NJ Transit bus routes on Route 22 and Liberty Avenue; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 12 minutes.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Evergreen Cemetery
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Evergreen Cemetery gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Hillside.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Hillside Avenue schools cluster
Hillside Avenue schools cluster is one of the places Hillside 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.
Towing at Route 22 shopping strip
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Route 22 shopping strip gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Hillside.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Liberty Avenue business district
Liberty Avenue business district is one of the places Hillside 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.
Conant Street industrial area: tow truck and roadside response
We reach Conant Street industrial area in about 12 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Conant Street industrial area 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 Conant Street industrial area the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Dead batteries and lockouts at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) and NJ Transit bus routes on Route 22 and Liberty Avenue
Station lots are where Hillside 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 Hillside and car lockouts in Hillside.
At one of these spots right now? Say the name and the lot, and the truck or the tech is on the way.
Call (908) 444-0129Jump start in HillsideChoosing a tow truck company in Hillside: price first, real arrival time, itemized receipt, your destination
Before you accept a tow in Hillside, listen for five things: the full price before dispatch, an arrival window based on where the truck really is, your choice of destination, an itemized receipt, and a driver you actually called rather than one who appeared on Route 22.
Nobody in Hillside shops for a tow company on a good day; the search happens on the shoulder of Route 22 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 Hillside
A towing price has two parts, the truck and the miles, and both can be settled before anyone leaves Linden for Hillside. "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.
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 12 minutes from Hillside off-peak across Union 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 Hillside 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
Trucks that appear uninvited at a crash on Route 22 or the highways around Hillside 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.
Insist on an itemized receipt
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 areaHow much a tow costs in Hillside, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
Towing in Hillside 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.
The two numbers in a Hillside tow
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Hillside to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Hillside itself or in Elizabeth 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 Hillside: a single price for each service
A jump start, a tire change, a lockout, a fuel delivery and a winch-out each have one price that does not change at night, on a Sunday or in a storm. Fuel delivered is added at cost. If a roadside call turns into a tow, you pay the tow, not the tow plus a second callout.
What is never on a Hillside towing bill
The list of things we do not charge for in Hillside is longer than the list of things we do: no fuel surcharge, no night or holiday rate, no fee for a passenger, no paperwork fee, no storage because the car goes to your shop rather than our yard. If a driver ever quotes something different from what dispatch said, call dispatch from the scene and it is settled there.
How to pay in Hillside, and how to get the money back
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 Hillside, 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 Hillside. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towHow the season changes towing in Hillside: what breaks on Route 22 and I-78 in January, April, July and October
Towing in Hillside 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.
Ask a dispatcher what Hillside sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) in January, bent wheels off I-78 in April, overheated cars on Route 22 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Union County.
Winter towing in Hillside when Route 22 ices over
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 Hillside 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 Hillside: 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. I-78 and the side streets off it break up every March; a car that hit a hole and now vibrates or pulls should not be driven to the shop.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Hillside
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 Hillside also fills the lots at Route 22 shopping 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.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Hillside
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 Hillside; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Hillside.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Hillside. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in HillsideWhat to do while you wait for a tow truck in Hillside: shoulders on Route 22, driveways, lots and garages
Roll the car as far out of traffic as it will go, put the hazards on, stay belted inside unless the car is in danger, keep the phone charged for the driver's call, and have the key, the license and the registration where you can reach them.
Shoulder stop near Hillside: Route 22 or I-78
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 northern commercial strip shared with Union; jughandles and stalled cars in the center lane. Decline any truck you did not call; our driver gives the company name and yours.
On a residential street or in a driveway in Hillside
Two-family houses with shared driveways and curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets; boxed-in cars are the daily reality. Move anything the driver will need to get past, unlock the car, and have the key in hand. If the car is on a street with alternate-side rules or a sweeping window, tell the dispatcher; we can move the car before the ticket.
In a lot or a garage in Hillside
Give the name of the place, the lot section or the level of the garage, and the clearance on the sign if you can see one. Most decks are too low for a flatbed, so the car is brought to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded in the open. If you can, wait at the car, and take your things out of it before it goes on the truck.
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.
Belted in, hazards on, phone charged. Now call. The driver will call you back before he arrives in Hillside.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in HillsideThe Hillside drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
Roughly 22,000 people live in Hillside, and towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor), families on the residential streets, the businesses around Route 22 shopping strip, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 22.
A dense township of two-family homes and small apartment buildings wedged between Elizabeth, Union and Newark, with Routes 22 and I-78 across the top and industrial blocks along the Elizabeth border. Street parking is the norm and calls are curbside jump starts, lockouts and tows to the Route 22 shops. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
The commuter's car in Hillside: North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) and the roads to it
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Hillside, and North Elizabeth station (nearest, Northeast Corridor) 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.
Hillside households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
A township of about 22,000 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. Two-family houses with shared driveways and curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets; boxed-in cars are the daily reality. 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 Route 22 shopping strip
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Hillside 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 Hillside businesses.
Strangers to Hillside: breakdowns on Route 22 on the way somewhere else
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Hillside have never heard of it; they were on Route 22 heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as Garden State Parkway Exit 140 (Union), 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.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Hillside, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.

Call nowUnion County towingWhat Hillside drivers want to know about tow trucks, prices and where the car goes
How long the truck takes to reach Hillside, what it costs, which truck comes, where the car can go, garages, insurance and what to do while you wait; anything not covered, a dispatcher answers live.
How long does a tow truck take to reach Hillside?
On a normal day, about 12 minutes from the Linden yard; Hillside is zone 1, under 20 minutes. Traffic on Route 22 at rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher quotes the real window on the call rather than a hopeful one.
What does towing cost in Hillside, NJ?
A flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted on the call before the truck rolls. A tow to a shop in Hillside or a neighboring town usually stays inside the base mileage. Roadside services are one flat price each. No night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
Can I bring my car to you in Hillside?
There is no shop in Hillside. We are a mobile service dispatched from Linden, 12 minutes away, and the truck comes to the car wherever it is in town; there is nowhere you need to drive to.
Is a flatbed available in Hillside for AWD and EVs?
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 Hillside.
Where will you take my car from Hillside?
Anywhere you choose: your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway, in Hillside 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 Hillside the truck cannot enter?
Yes. Two-family houses with shared driveways and curbside parking on both sides of narrow streets; boxed-in cars are the daily reality. 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 along with my car from Hillside?
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 Hillside call, without a membership?
No. You call, we come, you pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. We give you an itemized receipt; most insurance policies and roadside plans reimburse an out-of-network tow.
What if my car in Hillside 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 Hillside.
The police in Hillside already called a rotation tow. Can you still take the car?
Usually. If our truck can arrive within a reasonable time and the car is not blocking traffic, most officers release it to the tow of your choice; tell the officer yours is coming. If the car has already gone to a rotation yard, we pick it up on a signed release and stop the storage fees that day. See accident towing in Hillside.
Do you tow at night and on holidays in Hillside?
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.
What other towns around Hillside do you serve?
