Tow truck near you in Iselin, NJ: 12 minutes from our Linden dispatch, 24 hours a day
From Linden, about 12 minutes away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Iselin 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
Iselin is about 12 minutes from our Linden yard, which puts it in our fastest response zone. The Metropark end of Woodbridge Township: the office towers and the huge station garage at Metropark on one side, dense residential blocks and the Oak Tree Road commercial strip on the other. Heavy commuter traffic, corporate fleet cars, and one of the biggest park-and-ride lots in New Jersey full of cars that sat all day.
This page is built for one person: the driver in Iselin whose car just stopped. It covers the roads we come in on, the spots in town where cars die most, how a tow works on Iselin's streets, the price, and the towns next door. Stuck now? Call (908) 444-0129. Dispatch answers 24/7 and the price is quoted first.
A local towing company 12 minutes from Iselin
The whole point of a 45-minute radius is that the arrival window means something. For Iselin, that window is built on Garden State Parkway, Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) and Oak Tree Road and on where the nearest truck is when you call, which the dispatcher can see. If traffic on Garden State Parkway is bad, you hear the real number, not a hopeful one.
Loading a car on Iselin streets, driveways and lots
The Metropark garage has low clearance on the upper levels, so cars are dollied to the ground level or the surface lot before a flatbed loads. Elsewhere it is driveways and packed curbside parking on the residential grid. The dispatcher asks about it on the call so the truck is positioned right the first time instead of blocking an Iselin street while the driver works out an approach.
Breakdowns in Iselin: where they happen
The calls cluster where the cars are: Iselin Middle School area, Route 1 retail strip, Merrill Park, Metropark station and office park and Oak Tree Road commercial district, and the lots at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots. A jump start or a lockout fixes half of them on the spot; the rest are tows to the shop the Iselin driver chooses.
What a tow in Iselin costs and why you hear it first
Every tow from Iselin 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.

Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Middlesex CountyGarden State Parkway, Route 27 (Lincoln Highway), Oak Tree Road and Route 1: how our trucks reach Iselin and what happens on each road
From Linden we reach Iselin by Garden State Parkway, Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) and Oak Tree Road, using Garden State Parkway Exit 131A/131B (Metropark), and we respond to breakdowns on every one of them; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Iselin. The notes are what they actually know about each: where the shoulder is narrow, where the jughandle confuses GPS, which ramp ices first. When you call, say the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit; that is what puts the right truck on the right side of the road.
Broke down on Garden State Parkway near Iselin: how the handoff works
Exit 131A/B feeds Metropark and Route 27; the ramps are a constant fender-bender spot at rush hour. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) breakdowns and tows in Iselin
Runs through Iselin past Metropark and the office parks to Metuchen and Rahway. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Route 27 (Lincoln Highway); the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Towing on Oak Tree Road in Iselin
The commercial strip; parked-up, slow, and where most local roadside calls come from. A breakdown on Oak Tree Road is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Iselin: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Tow truck response on Route 1, Iselin
The southern edge with the Route 1 retail strip; narrow shoulders and constant merges. On Route 1 we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Tow truck response on Green Street, Iselin
Connects Iselin to Woodbridge proper; tight at the station underpass. If you are on a shoulder of Green Street, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Iselin by exit number
For Iselin the ramp to know is Garden State Parkway Exit 131A/131B (Metropark). A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets a truck on the right side of the road the first time. Where the Turnpike or Parkway express lanes offer no exit, the Authority's garage clears the shoulder and our truck picks the car up at the ramp.
On a shoulder near Iselin? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingTowing in Iselin 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 Iselin from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Iselin page below.
Towing in Iselin is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on Garden State Parkway, a box truck down near Metropark station and office park and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has an Iselin-specific page with the details.
Emergency Towing in Iselin
Emergency towing in Iselin means the car is not moving and you need it gone now: from Oak Tree Road commercial district, from a driveway in Metropark, from the shoulder of Oak Tree 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 Iselin.
Flatbed Towing for Iselin drivers
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. The Metropark garage has low clearance on the upper levels, so cars are dollied to the ground level or the surface lot before a flatbed loads, so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Iselin.
Accident Towing in Iselin
After a crash on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) or at an Iselin 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 Iselin.
Local Towing for Iselin drivers
Shop transfers, dealer drops, a car bought online, a project car, a vehicle with expired plates that cannot be driven legally. A local tow from Iselin is a hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled or immediate. Tows to shops in Iselin or the next town usually stay inside the base mileage. See local towing in Iselin.
Iselin long distance towing
A car leaving Iselin 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 Iselin.
Iselin motorcycle towing
A motorcycle from Iselin 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 Oak Tree 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 Iselin.
Heavy Duty Towing for Iselin drivers
Commercial vehicles break down in Iselin like everywhere else, and a delivery window does not wait. Medium and heavy-duty response with the right truck the first time. Details on heavy duty towing in Iselin.
Iselin winch out
Route 1 underpasses pond; the Parkway ramps at 131 ice. 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 Iselin.

Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside help in Iselin without a membership: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery
For a dead battery, a flat, keys locked inside or an empty tank anywhere in Iselin, 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.
A tow is the last resort in Iselin, not the first. A community of 18,000 people breaks down in small ways far more often than big ones, and the technician carries the fix: a jump pack for the lot at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots, a jack and an impact gun for a flat on Garden State Parkway, lockout tools for Oak Tree Road commercial district, a fuel can for Route 27 (Lincoln Highway). Most of those calls end with you driving away.
Roadside Assistance for Iselin drivers
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Iselin at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots keep us busy with dead batteries. Oak Tree Road commercial district keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Iselin.
Jump Start for Iselin drivers
A car that sat all day at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots with a dome light on is the classic Iselin 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 Iselin.
Flat Tire Change in Iselin
A flat on an Iselin shoulder is no place to kneel next to traffic. We put the spare on safely or tow you to the tire shop. Wheel-lock removal sockets on the truck. See flat tire change in Iselin.
Car Lockout in Iselin
Keys locked in the car at Metropark station and office park, at a pump on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway), or in an Iselin 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 Iselin.
Iselin fuel delivery
Out of fuel in Iselin, on Oak Tree 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 Iselin.
Battery dead, tire flat, keys inside or tank empty somewhere in Iselin? A technician is dispatched from the same line as the trucks, membership not required.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in IselinTowing in every Iselin neighborhood: Middlesex Avenue section, Metropark, Oak Tree Road and Green Street area and more
From Middlesex Avenue section to Route 1 side, every part of Iselin is served by the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is Middlesex Avenue section, Metropark, Oak Tree Road, Green Street area and Route 1 side.
Iselin is not one kind of street. The Metropark garage has low clearance on the upper levels, so cars are dollied to the ground level or the surface lot before a flatbed loads. Elsewhere it is driveways and packed curbside parking on the residential grid. The sections below are the parts of town our drivers know by name, and what changes about a tow in each.
Towing and roadside help in Middlesex Avenue section
Calls from Middlesex Avenue section are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Iselin: 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 Middlesex Avenue section; it is faster than a house number on a long Iselin block.
Towing and roadside help in Metropark
Calls from Metropark are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Iselin: 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 Metropark; it is faster than a house number on a long Iselin block.
Towing and roadside help in Oak Tree Road
In Oak Tree Road the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. An Oak Tree Road 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 Oak Tree Road as in the rest of Iselin: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Towing and roadside help in Green Street area
Calls from Green Street area are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Iselin: 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 Green Street area; it is faster than a house number on a long Iselin block.
Tow truck in Route 1 side, Iselin
Route 1 side gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Iselin: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 12 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Route 1 side and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Anywhere in Iselin, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Iselin that call for a tow truck: Merrill Park, Metropark station and office park and Oak Tree Road commercial district and the roads between
Merrill Park, Metropark station and office park, Oak Tree Road commercial district, Iselin Middle School area and Route 1 retail strip and the lots at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots are where Iselin drivers most often need us, and each is about 12 minutes from a Linden truck or technician.
Towing at Merrill Park
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Merrill Park gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Iselin.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Metropark station and office park
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Metropark station and office park gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Iselin.
Towing at Oak Tree Road commercial district
A car that will not start at Oak Tree Road commercial district 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 Oak Tree Road commercial district, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Iselin Middle School area: tow truck and roadside response
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Iselin Middle School area gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Iselin.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Route 1 retail strip
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Route 1 retail strip gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Iselin.
Jump starts and lockouts at the station lots: Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots
The lot at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots produces the same call every evening: a car that started at 7 a.m. and will not at 7 p.m. because a dome light or a door stayed open all day. A technician arrives with a commercial jump pack, starts the car and load-tests the battery so you know whether to replace it. Keys locked inside at the station are opened without damage in minutes. Each is one flat price; see jump starts in Iselin and car lockouts in Iselin.
Stuck at Merrill 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 IselinChoosing a tow truck company in Iselin: price first, real arrival time, itemized receipt, your destination
A towing company in Iselin 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 (Lincoln Highway).
Most drivers in Iselin 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 12 minutes from Iselin 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 Iselin 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
A tow truck that arrives on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) or another highway near Iselin 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 Iselin dispatch; the answers match this page, word for word.
Call and askService areaHow much a tow costs in Iselin, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
The price of a tow from Iselin has two parts, a hook fee and mileage to your destination, and you hear the total on the call; roadside jobs are single flat prices; there is no surcharge for the hour, the day or the fuel.
The two numbers in an Iselin tow
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Iselin to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Iselin itself or in Colonia 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.
One price per roadside job in Iselin
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 a tow in Iselin never adds
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 Iselin. Storage never appears because we do not take cars to a yard. The receipt matches the call.
Payment and reimbursement for an Iselin 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 Iselin, the destination, the mileage and the service, it satisfies insurers and roadside plans without a follow-up call. Collision coverage nearly always reimburses an accident tow; most memberships reimburse an outside call up to their cap.
Want the number for a tow in Iselin before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towHow the season changes towing in Iselin: what breaks on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) and Oak Tree Road in January, April, July and October
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of towing call from Iselin: ice and weak batteries, then potholes, then heat and tires, then wet leaves and deer at dusk; the 24-hour dispatch is the same all year. Route 1 underpasses pond; the Parkway ramps at 131 ice.
The same trucks serve Iselin in every month, but Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) in January is a different road from Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) in July. This is how the season changes the towing calls we get from Iselin, and how we prepare for each.
Winter towing in Iselin when Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) 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. The first storm of the year is the busiest night in Iselin; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) has a car on it.
Pothole season in Iselin: March and April on Oak Tree Road
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. Oak Tree Road 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.
Summer towing in Iselin: 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 storms flood the low spots in Iselin in minutes; a car that stalled in water is towed to the shop, never restarted on the spot.
Towing in Iselin 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. Wet leaves on the ramps off Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Iselin, not a tow, and is priced that way.
The seasons change the calls from Iselin, 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 IselinWaiting for a tow truck in Iselin: what to do on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway), in the driveway, in a lot and in a garage
Get the car as far out of traffic as it will roll, hazards on, stay belted inside unless the car itself is in danger, keep your phone charged for the driver's call, and have the key, license and registration ready.
Stopped on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) or one of the toll roads
If the car still rolls, get it fully onto the shoulder or off at the next exit. Turn the wheels away from traffic. Hazards on. Stay in the car, belted, unless the car is in danger; then get behind the guardrail well away from it. Exit 131A/B feeds Metropark and Route 27; the ramps are a constant fender-bender spot at rush hour. Do not accept a tow from a truck that shows up uninvited; ours says the company name and your name. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
On a residential street or in a driveway in Iselin
The Metropark garage has low clearance on the upper levels, so cars are dollied to the ground level or the surface lot before a flatbed loads. Elsewhere it is driveways and packed curbside parking on the residential grid. 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 Iselin
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.
The driver's call and the documents he will ask for
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 Iselin note: Route 1 underpasses pond; the Parkway ramps at 131 ice.
Safe, visible, reachable: now call. You will hear from the driver before the truck arrives in Iselin.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in IselinThe Iselin drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
Roughly 18,000 people live in Iselin, and towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Metropark station and office park, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway).
The Metropark end of Woodbridge Township: the office towers and the huge station garage at Metropark on one side, dense residential blocks and the Oak Tree Road commercial strip on the other. Heavy commuter traffic, corporate fleet cars, and one of the biggest park-and-ride lots in New Jersey full of cars that sat all day. Those are the drivers of Iselin, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
The commuter's car in Iselin: Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots and the roads to it
The lot at Metropark station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its multi-level garage and surface lots is where Iselin 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.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Iselin
A community of about 18,000 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. The Metropark garage has low clearance on the upper levels, so cars are dollied to the ground level or the surface lot before a flatbed loads. Elsewhere it is driveways and packed curbside parking on the residential grid. The truck arrives set up for the driveway, and the passengers ride in the cab. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Businesses and fleets near Metropark station and office park and Oak Tree Road commercial district
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Iselin 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 Iselin businesses.
Strangers to Iselin: breakdowns on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) on the way somewhere else
Half of the towing calls from Iselin are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway) on the way somewhere else. You do not need to know the town. Say the road, the direction and the last exit or a sign you can see, and the dispatcher places you. If the car is going far, we quote it as one number; see long distance towing.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway): everyone in Iselin calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingIselin towing questions, answered before you call
How long the truck takes to reach Iselin, 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 fast can a tow truck get to Iselin?
On a normal day, about 12 minutes from the Linden yard; Iselin is zone 1, under 20 minutes. Traffic on Garden State Parkway at rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher quotes the real window on the call rather than a hopeful one.
How much does a tow cost in Iselin?
Two numbers, a flat hook fee and mileage to your destination, added up and quoted before dispatch. A short tow to an Iselin 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 Iselin?
There is no shop in Iselin. 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.
Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or electric car in Iselin?
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 Iselin.
Can I choose where my car goes from Iselin?
The destination is yours: a mechanic, a dealership, a body shop, home, inside Iselin 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.
Can you tow from a parking deck or a tight lot in Iselin?
Yes. The Metropark garage has low clearance on the upper levels, so cars are dollied to the ground level or the surface lot before a flatbed loads. Elsewhere it is driveways and packed curbside parking on the residential grid. 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 Iselin?
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 Iselin?
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.
Do I need a tow if the car in Iselin only needs a jump or a tire?
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 Iselin.
Can you take my car from a crash scene in Iselin if the police called another truck?
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 Iselin.
Do you tow at night and on holidays in Iselin?
Around the clock, every day. Dispatch never closes, and the price structure for Iselin does not change for the hour, the weekend or the holiday.
Do you cover the towns next to Iselin too?
Colonia, Woodbridge, Edison, Metuchen, Avenel and Fords, and every other town within 45 minutes of Linden across Middlesex County and eight more counties. Each has its own page.
