From Linden, roughly 30 minutes away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Lyndhurst 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
A working township between the Passaic River and the Meadowlands: Ridge Road and Stuyvesant Avenue commercial strips, two train stations, Route 3 and Route 17 on the north, and the Meadowlands industrial zone. Commuter cars, box trucks and Route 3 shoulder breakdowns. From the Linden yard, Lyndhurst is roughly 30 minutes, so it sits in our second response zone.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Lyndhurst, 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.
How close our trucks really are to Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst is one of the Bergen County towns a Linden truck reaches inside 45 minutes, which is the only reason it is on this site. The drive is roughly 30 minutes by Route 3, Route 17 and Ridge Road (Route 507), off at Route 3 / Ridge Road, and the arrival window the dispatcher gives you comes from where the nearest truck is at that moment. If Route 3 is backed up, you hear that, not a guess.
Loading a car on Lyndhurst streets, driveways and lots
Tight street parking on the residential grid, driveways on the newer blocks, big industrial lots in the Meadowlands. Station lots fill early. That detail is why we ask where the car is parked, not just the address in Lyndhurst. The truck that shows up is set up for that spot before it leaves Linden.
Where Lyndhurst drivers call us from most
Most Lyndhurst calls come from a short list of places: Lyndhurst Town Hall Park, Route 3 / Route 17 interchange, MetLife Stadium approach, Ridge Road commercial strip and Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue, and the lots at Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots. A jump start or a lockout fixes half of them on the spot; the rest are tows to the shop the Lyndhurst driver chooses.
Lyndhurst towing rates: hook plus mileage, nothing hidden
A tow in Lyndhurst is a flat hook fee plus mileage to the destination you name. Roadside services such as a jump start or a lockout are one flat price each. The dispatcher quotes the total on the call, and the receipt matches it. No night surcharge, no fuel surcharge, no passenger fee.

Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Bergen CountyRoute 3, Route 17, Ridge Road (Route 507) and Valley Brook Avenue: how our trucks reach Lyndhurst and what happens on each road
Route 3, Route 17 and Ridge Road (Route 507) carry our trucks from Linden into Lyndhurst, with Route 3 / Ridge Road, Route 3 / Route 17 interchange and NJ Turnpike Exit 16W via Route 3 as the ramps we use, and we answer breakdowns on all 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.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Lyndhurst by its roads: Route 3, Route 17 and Ridge Road (Route 507) and the streets between them. Each one below comes with the note our drivers actually use, from the narrow shoulder to the ramp that ices first. On the call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit, and the truck approaches from the right side.
Route 3 breakdowns and tows in Lyndhurst
Runs along the northern edge toward the Lincoln Tunnel; the Ridge Road and Route 17 interchanges are constant breakdown spots. A breakdown on Route 3 is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Lyndhurst: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Tow truck response on Route 17, Lyndhurst
The Lyndhurst / Rutherford stretch near the Meadowlands; fast with narrow shoulders. If you are on a shoulder of Route 17, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Tow truck response on Ridge Road (Route 507), Lyndhurst
The main commercial street through town; tight curbside parking. On Ridge Road (Route 507) we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Towing on Valley Brook Avenue in Lyndhurst
The road east into the Meadowlands industrial area and toward MetLife; truck traffic and floods. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Valley Brook Avenue; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
A breakdown on NJ Turnpike (western spur) by Lyndhurst: who tows from the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
Runs along the eastern edge; Exit 16W is reached via Route 3. 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.
The exits our trucks take for Lyndhurst
For Lyndhurst the ramps to know are Route 3 / Ridge Road, Route 3 / Route 17 interchange and NJ Turnpike Exit 16W via Route 3. On the highway, the nearest exit number and your direction are what the dispatcher needs first. 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.
If you are on the side of Route 3 or any road near Lyndhurst: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEvery towing service we dispatch to Lyndhurst: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
All eight towing services run to Lyndhurst from Linden 24/7: emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out, each with its own Lyndhurst page linked below.
Each service below is a different truck, a different rigging setup and a different price, and each has its own Lyndhurst page. The dispatcher chooses from what you describe; you never have to pick the category yourself.
Emergency Towing in Lyndhurst
A car dead on Route 3 at 2 a.m. or in a Lyndhurst driveway before the school run gets the same answer: a real dispatcher, a flat quote and a truck from Linden in roughly 30 minutes. See emergency towing in Lyndhurst.
Lyndhurst flatbed towing
Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst.
Accident Towing in Lyndhurst
After a crash on Route 3 or at a Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst.
Lyndhurst local towing
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 Lyndhurst is a hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled or immediate. Tows to shops in Lyndhurst or the next town usually stay inside the base mileage. See local towing in Lyndhurst.
Long Distance Towing for Lyndhurst drivers
A car leaving Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst.
Motorcycle Towing in Lyndhurst
Bikes from Lyndhurst ride upright on the flatbed in a locking front-wheel chock with soft-loop straps, never a sling. Breakdowns on Route 3, a bike that sat all winter and will not turn over, or a crash recovery with photos for insurance. See motorcycle towing in Lyndhurst.
Heavy Duty Towing in Lyndhurst
Commercial vehicles break down in Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst.
Winch Out in Lyndhurst
A car that left the pavement in Lyndhurst but is not broken is a winch-out: a snow bank at the end of a driveway, the soft shoulder of Route 17, a ditch off a back road. The driver rigs to a proper recovery point, pulls the car straight back the way it went in, and you drive off; if it will not drive, the tow is quoted right there. See winch out in Lyndhurst.

Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside assistance near you in Lyndhurst: jump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel without a membership
A technician comes to your car anywhere in Lyndhurst 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.
A tow is the last resort in Lyndhurst, not the first. A township of 22,000 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 Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots, a jack and an impact gun for a flat on Route 3, lockout tools for Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue, a fuel can for Route 17. Most of those calls end with you driving away.
Lyndhurst roadside assistance
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Lyndhurst at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots keep us busy with dead batteries. Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Lyndhurst.
Lyndhurst jump start
The jump-start call from Lyndhurst is usually a car that clicks and does nothing, often at Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots 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 Lyndhurst.
Flat Tire Change in Lyndhurst
Potholes on Route 3 and Route 17 shred sidewalls and bend rims every spring. A tech installs your spare with a floor jack, an impact gun and the truck shielding the scene; no usable spare means a tow to the tire shop you pick, quoted on the same call. See flat tire change in Lyndhurst.
Lyndhurst car lockout
Locked out in Lyndhurst, at Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue, at a pump on Route 17 or in your own driveway: the technician opens the door with an inflatable wedge and a long-reach tool, without touching the wiring or the glass, and checks your ID afterward. A child or a pet inside means 911 first, then us. See car lockout in Lyndhurst.
Lyndhurst fuel delivery
Ran dry on Route 3 or in a Lyndhurst driveway with the needle on E since last night? Enough gas or diesel to reach the next station, delivered 24/7, with diesel priming help if the tank ran fully empty. Wrong fuel in the tank: do not start it; we tow it to be drained. See fuel delivery in Lyndhurst.
Battery dead, tire flat, keys inside or tank empty somewhere in Lyndhurst? A technician is dispatched from the same line as the trucks, membership not required.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in LyndhurstTowing in every Lyndhurst neighborhood: Stuyvesant Avenue, Kingsland, Valley Brook / Meadowlands and Copeland Avenue area and more
Stuyvesant Avenue, Kingsland, Valley Brook / Meadowlands, Copeland Avenue area, Riverside and Ridge Road: every section of Lyndhurst gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Lyndhurst is not one kind of street. Tight street parking on the residential grid, driveways on the newer blocks, big industrial lots in the Meadowlands. Station lots fill early. 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 Stuyvesant Avenue
Stuyvesant Avenue gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Lyndhurst: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in roughly 30 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Stuyvesant Avenue 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 Kingsland
In Kingsland the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Kingsland 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 Kingsland as in the rest of Lyndhurst: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Tow truck in Valley Brook / Meadowlands, Lyndhurst
In Valley Brook / Meadowlands the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Valley Brook / Meadowlands 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 Valley Brook / Meadowlands as in the rest of Lyndhurst: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Copeland Avenue area: what a tow looks like here
In Copeland Avenue area the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Copeland Avenue area driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get a different approach, and knowing before he leaves Linden means the right rigging is on the truck. Everything else is the same in Copeland Avenue area as in the rest of Lyndhurst: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Tow truck in Riverside, Lyndhurst
Calls from Riverside are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Lyndhurst: 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 Riverside; it is faster than a house number on a long Lyndhurst block.
Ridge Road: what a tow looks like here
Ridge Road gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Lyndhurst: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in roughly 30 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Ridge Road and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Stuyvesant Avenue or the far side of Lyndhurst: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Lyndhurst that call for a tow truck: Route 3 / Route 17 interchange, MetLife Stadium approach and Ridge Road commercial strip and the roads between
The most common Lyndhurst pickup points are Route 3 / Route 17 interchange, MetLife Stadium approach, Ridge Road commercial strip, Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue and Riverside County Park and the lots at Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots; a truck or a technician reaches any of them in roughly 30 minutes.
Route 3 / Route 17 interchange: 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, Route 3 / Route 17 interchange gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Lyndhurst.
Towing at MetLife Stadium approach
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, MetLife Stadium approach gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Lyndhurst.
Ridge Road commercial strip: tow truck and roadside response
Ridge Road commercial strip is one of the places Lyndhurst 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.
Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue: tow truck and roadside response
A car that will not start at Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue 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 Meadowlands industrial zone on Valley Brook Avenue, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Towing at Riverside County Park
Riverside County Park is one of the places Lyndhurst 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.
Lyndhurst Town Hall Park: tow truck and roadside response
We reach Lyndhurst Town Hall Park in roughly 30 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Lyndhurst Town Hall 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 Lyndhurst Town Hall Park the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Jump starts and lockouts at the station lots: Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots
The lot at Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their 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 Lyndhurst and car lockouts in Lyndhurst.
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 LyndhurstWhat a good towing company in Lyndhurst does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
Before you accept a tow in Lyndhurst, 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 3.
A tow is a purchase made under stress. These five checks take a minute and separate a straight company from an expensive surprise, in Lyndhurst or anywhere else.
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.
Ask where the truck actually is right now
"Twenty minutes" from a call center that is booking a subcontractor means nothing. Our trucks leave Linden, 30 minutes from Lyndhurst off-peak, and the dispatcher can see where the nearest one is. You hear the real window, including the bad news at rush hour. Everything on this page is built on that real distance; see the roads section.
Make sure the car goes where you say
Where the car goes is your decision, not the driver's: a mechanic you trust, the dealer, a body shop, home. When a company steers the car to its own yard, storage fees start the same night. After an accident in Lyndhurst hold onto that choice; neither the other driver, the officer nor the tow company gets to pick your shop or your storage lot.
The fourth rule: only the truck you called
On Route 3 and the other highways around Lyndhurst, a truck that appears without being called is chasing the crash, and the bill that follows is the reason New Jersey regulates it. Our driver says the company name and your name when he arrives. If a truck shows up first, you may decline it and wait for the one you called.
Ask for a receipt that lists every charge
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.
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 Lyndhurst, NJ: hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call before a truck leaves Linden
The price of a tow from Lyndhurst 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.
How a tow from Lyndhurst is priced: hook, then miles
Hook fee first: it pays for the dispatch, the loading and the driver's time at the car. Then mileage, counted from the pickup in Lyndhurst to the drop. A tow to a shop in Lyndhurst or nearby North Arlington is usually inside the base mileage; one across Bergen County or beyond is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher gives you the sum, not the parts.
Roadside in Lyndhurst: 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.
Surcharges you will not find on a Lyndhurst receipt
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 Lyndhurst. Storage never appears because we do not take cars to a yard. The receipt matches the call.
How to pay in Lyndhurst, and how to get the money back
All major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site; net terms for fleet accounts. The itemized receipt shows the Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst in thirty seconds. Asking is free.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Lyndhurst through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 3
Towing in Lyndhurst 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. Valley Brook Avenue and the Meadowlands side flood; the Route 3 ramps ice first.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst: 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 Lyndhurst; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 3 has a car on it.
Spring towing in Lyndhurst 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. After a hard pothole hit in Lyndhurst, check the tire and the wheel before driving on; if the rim is bent or the sidewall bulges, it is a flatbed job, not a drive.
Towing in Lyndhurst in July and August
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. Holiday weekends load Route 3 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Towing in Lyndhurst 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. Deer cross Route 17 and the quieter roads of Lyndhurst around Ridge Road at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Lyndhurst 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.
The seasons change the calls from Lyndhurst, 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 LyndhurstWhile you wait for the truck in Lyndhurst: on the shoulder of Route 3, in a driveway, in a lot or under a deck
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 3 or one of the toll roads
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. Runs along the northern edge toward the Lincoln Tunnel; the Ridge Road and Route 17 interchanges are constant breakdown spots. Decline any truck you did not call; our driver gives the company name and yours. 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.
Parked in a Lyndhurst driveway or at the curb
Tight street parking on the residential grid, driveways on the newer blocks, big industrial lots in the Meadowlands. Station lots fill early. 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 Lyndhurst
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.
Phone charged, papers in hand
A few minutes before he arrives the driver calls, so you know which truck is yours. Keep the license, the registration and the insurance card handy; after a lockout we check them before leaving. The itemized receipt comes at the destination. A Lyndhurst note: Valley Brook Avenue and the Meadowlands side flood; the Route 3 ramps ice first.
Belted in, hazards on, phone charged. Now call. The driver will call you back before he arrives in Lyndhurst.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in LyndhurstTowing for every kind of Lyndhurst driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 3
Roughly 22,000 people live in Lyndhurst, and towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Ridge Road commercial strip, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 3.
A working township between the Passaic River and the Meadowlands: Ridge Road and Stuyvesant Avenue commercial strips, two train stations, Route 3 and Route 17 on the north, and the Meadowlands industrial zone. Commuter cars, box trucks and Route 3 shoulder breakdowns. That mix shapes the towing calls we get from Lyndhurst.
Commuters in Lyndhurst and the lot at Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Lyndhurst, and Lyndhurst station and Kingsland station (NJ Transit Main / Bergen County Lines) and their lots 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 Lyndhurst
Family calls come from driveways and school lots: the minivan that will not start before pickup, the second car that sat too long, the teenager's first flat. Tight street parking on the residential grid, driveways on the newer blocks, big industrial lots in the Meadowlands. Station lots fill early. The truck is set up for the driveway before it leaves Linden. Kids and pets ride with you in the cab, not in the towed car.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Ridge Road commercial strip
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst businesses.
Strangers to Lyndhurst: breakdowns on Route 3 on the way somewhere else
Half of the towing calls from Lyndhurst are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Route 3 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.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Lyndhurst, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.

Call nowBergen County towingLyndhurst towing questions, answered before you call
The questions below cover arrival time in Lyndhurst, price, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How long does a tow truck take to reach Lyndhurst?
On a normal day, roughly 30 minutes from the Linden yard; Lyndhurst is zone 2, 20–35 minutes. Traffic on Route 3 at rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher quotes the real window on the call rather than a hopeful one.
How is a tow from Lyndhurst priced?
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 Lyndhurst or a neighboring town usually stays inside the base mileage. Roadside services are one flat price each. No night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
Do you have a shop or a yard in Lyndhurst?
No. We are a mobile service-area business dispatched from Linden, 30 minutes away. There is no shop to drive to; the truck comes to your car anywhere in Lyndhurst.
Do you tow AWD and electric cars in Lyndhurst?
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 Lyndhurst.
Where will you take my car from Lyndhurst?
Anywhere you choose: your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway, in Lyndhurst or beyond. Never a storage yard we picked. Destinations outside the 45-minute area are quoted per mile.
My car is in a parking garage or a tight lot in Lyndhurst. Can you get it?
Yes. Tight street parking on the residential grid, driveways on the newer blocks, big industrial lots in the Meadowlands. Station lots fill early. 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 Lyndhurst?
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 Lyndhurst?
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.
Can you send a technician instead of a tow truck in Lyndhurst?
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 Lyndhurst.
Can you take my car from a crash scene in Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst.
Is towing in Lyndhurst available at 3 a.m. or on a holiday?
Yes. The dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and a tow in Lyndhurst at 3 a.m. on a holiday is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.
Do you cover the towns next to Lyndhurst too?
North Arlington, Rutherford, East Rutherford, Nutley, Kearny, Secaucus, Belleville and Clifton for a start, and beyond them every town inside 45 minutes of Linden across Bergen County and eight more counties; every one has its own page.
If your question is missing, call it in. A dispatcher answers it directly and prices the job in the same breath.
