Tow truck in Madison, NJ, 24 hours a day: flatbed and roadside dispatched from Linden, 38 minutes away
Towing and roadside help for Madison from a yard about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour away in Linden, every hour of every day. The Rose City: Drew University and Fairleigh Dickinson on one side, a busy Main Street downtown and a Morristown Line station on the other. You hear the price on the call, and the truck leaves the moment you say yes.
A tow truck near you in Madison: dispatched from Linden, 38 minutes away, around the clock
From Linden, about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Madison 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
The Rose City: Drew University and Fairleigh Dickinson on one side, a busy Main Street downtown and a Morristown Line station on the other. Commuter cars, student cars that sit for weeks, and a lot of well-kept older vehicles that need a flatbed. From the Linden yard, Madison is about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, so it sits in the outer ring of our 45-minute area.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Madison, 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 Madison
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. Madison is about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour out by Route 124 (Main Street), Route 24 and Kings Road, 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.
Loading a car on Madison streets, driveways and lots
Driveways and street parking; a municipal lot and the station lots downtown. University lots need the tech to reach a car that has not moved in a month. The dispatcher asks about it on the call so the truck is positioned right the first time instead of blocking a Madison street while the driver works out an approach.
Where Madison drivers call us from most
Most Madison calls come from a short list of places: Madison Main Street downtown, Madison station lots, Museum of Early Trades and Crafts area, Drew University and Fairleigh Dickinson University Florham campus, and the lots at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots. A jump start or a lockout fixes half of them on the spot; the rest are tows to the shop the Madison driver chooses.
What a tow in Madison costs and why you hear it first
Every tow from Madison 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.
If the car is stopped in Madison right now, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Morris CountyThe roads into Madison: tow truck response on Route 124 (Main Street), Route 24, Kings Road and Park Avenue
From Linden we reach Madison by Route 124 (Main Street), Route 24 and Kings Road, using Route 24 via Chatham or Florham Park, and we respond to breakdowns on every one of them.
These are the roads a Madison breakdown happens on, in the order a driver from Linden meets them. Give the dispatcher the road name, your direction and the nearest exit or cross street. The driver knows the rest.
Route 124 (Main Street) breakdowns and tows in Madison
The downtown spine from Chatham to Morristown; slow, signalized, with curbside parking and delivery trucks in the way. If you are on a shoulder of Route 124 (Main Street), stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Towing on Route 24 in Madison
The Madison / Kings Road area is a short run to the Route 24 ramps at Chatham and Florham Park. On Route 24 we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Towing on Kings Road in Madison
Station and Drew University side; lockouts and dead batteries in the station lot and campus lots. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Kings Road; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Tow truck response on Park Avenue, Madison
The north-south connector toward Florham Park and Route 24; a common overheating spot on summer afternoons. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Park Avenue; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
The exits our trucks take for Madison
Our drivers reach Madison by Route 24 via Chatham or Florham Park. If you are on the highway itself, the exit number is the single most useful thing you can tell the dispatcher. For the Turnpike and Parkway express lanes with no exit, the Authority's garage handles the shoulder and we meet the car at the exit.
On a shoulder near Madison? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEvery towing service we dispatch to Madison: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
All eight towing services run to Madison 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 Madison page linked below.
Towing in Madison is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on Route 124 (Main Street), a box truck down near Drew University and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has a Madison-specific page with the details.
Madison emergency towing
The call that comes in most from Madison: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Route 124 (Main Street), on Route 24, in a driveway or a lot at Drew University, a truck is dispatched the minute you approve the quote and the driver calls when he is minutes out. Night and holiday tows are priced the same as a weekday afternoon. Full details on emergency towing in Madison.
Madison flatbed towing
Madison 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 Madison.
Accident Towing in Madison
Collisions at the lights on Route 124 (Main Street) and Route 24 are a daily Madison call. We winch cars that will not roll, sweep the glass, and take the car to your shop, not a storage yard. Full walkthrough on accident towing in Madison.
Local Towing for Madison drivers
Not every tow is an emergency. Madison repair shops and dealers use us for customer pickups and transfers, and residents use us to move a car that runs but should not be driven. Flat quoted rate. See local towing in Madison.
Long Distance Towing in Madison
From Madison to the shore, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut or a buyer three states away: one flatbed, one driver and one quoted price that includes the hook, the mileage, tolls and the return leg. Same-day, not a week waiting for a carrier slot. See long distance towing in Madison.
Motorcycle Towing for Madison drivers
Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in Madison 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 Madison.
Heavy Duty Towing in Madison
Commercial vehicles break down in Madison 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 Madison.
Winch Out in Madison
Hills toward Morristown and the Route 124 curves get slick first in an ice storm. 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 Madison.
You do not have to name the service. Describe the car and where it is in Madison, and dispatch chooses and prices the job.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside help in Madison without a membership: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery
Roadside assistance in Madison means a technician at your car in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour for a jump, a tire change, a lockout or fuel, each at a single flat price, with the flatbed dispatched from the same conversation if the car needs it after all.
Half the calls from Madison that start as "I need a tow" end as a roadside fix for less money. The lots at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots produce dead batteries all winter. The lots at Drew University produce lockouts. Route 124 (Main Street) produces flats and empty tanks. A technician handles all of it.
Roadside Assistance for Madison drivers
Roadside assistance in Madison is a technician, not a truck: a jump pack for the battery, a jack and impact gun for the flat on Route 24, wedges and long-reach tools for the lockout at Drew University, 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 Madison.
Madison jump start
Click, click, nothing in Madison? A tech with a professional jump pack starts it and tests the battery. If it is finished, we say so and can tow the car to the shop you choose from the same call. See jump start in Madison.
Madison flat tire change
A flat on a Madison 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 Madison.
Car Lockout for Madison drivers
Damage-free lockouts anywhere in Madison, 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 Madison.
Fuel Delivery for Madison drivers
Fuel delivery to any road or driveway in Madison 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 Madison.
A jump, a spare, an unlocked door or a few gallons of gas in Madison: one call, one flat price, no plan to join.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in MadisonEvery Madison neighborhood gets the same truck: Woodland Road, Downtown Main Street, Kings Road / Drew and Park Avenue and more
We tow and provide roadside help in every part of Madison, including Woodland Road, Downtown Main Street, Kings Road / Drew, Park Avenue, Rosedale Avenue area and Hillside, at the same flat quoted price.
Madison is not one kind of street. Driveways and street parking; a municipal lot and the station lots downtown. University lots need the tech to reach a car that has not moved in a month. 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 Woodland Road
In Woodland Road the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Woodland 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 Woodland Road as in the rest of Madison: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Towing and roadside help in Downtown Main Street
Whether the car is in Downtown Main Street 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. Downtown Main Street matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Kings Road / Drew: what a tow looks like here
Calls from Kings Road / Drew are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Madison: 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 Kings Road / Drew; it is faster than a house number on a long Madison block.
Towing and roadside help in Park Avenue
Whether the car is in Park Avenue 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. Park Avenue matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Rosedale Avenue area: what a tow looks like here
Rosedale Avenue area gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Madison: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Rosedale Avenue area and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Hillside: what a tow looks like here
Whether the car is in Hillside 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. Hillside matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Anywhere in Madison, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Madison that call for a tow truck: Madison station lots, Museum of Early Trades and Crafts area and Drew University and the roads between
The most common Madison pickup points are Madison station lots, Museum of Early Trades and Crafts area, Drew University, Fairleigh Dickinson University Florham campus and Madison Main Street downtown and the lots at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots; a truck or a technician reaches any of them in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Madison station lots: tow truck and roadside response
Madison station lots is one of the places Madison 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 Museum of Early Trades and Crafts area
We reach Museum of Early Trades and Crafts area in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Museum of Early Trades and Crafts 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 Museum of Early Trades and Crafts area the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Drew University
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Drew University gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Madison.
Towing at Fairleigh Dickinson University Florham campus
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Fairleigh Dickinson University Florham campus gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Madison.
Madison Main Street downtown: tow truck and roadside response
Madison Main Street downtown is one of the places Madison 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.
Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots: the commuter-lot calls
The lot at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street 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 Madison and car lockouts in Madison.
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 MadisonHow to choose a towing company in Madison, NJ: the five questions to ask before a truck is sent
A towing company in Madison 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 124 (Main Street).
Most drivers in Madison 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.
Get the full price before a truck is sent to Madison
The price for a tow is knowable on the phone: the truck the car needs and the miles to where it is going. A company that says "the driver will tell you" is planning to tell you when the car is already on the truck. We quote hook plus mileage, or one flat price for a roadside job, and the number on the receipt matches. The details are in the pricing section.
Ask where the truck is coming from and when it will arrive
When the answer to "where is the truck" is vague, the truck is probably not theirs. Ours leave Linden, which is 38 minutes from Madison off-peak across Morris 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.
The third question: where does the car end up
You choose the destination: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Madison or over the line in Chatham. A company that nudges you toward "our shop" or "our lot" is setting up a second bill for storage or repairs. This matters most after an accident in Madison, when the pressure to accept whatever is suggested is highest; you do not have to.
Never take a tow from a truck you did not call
On Route 124 (Main Street) and the other highways around Madison, 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.
The fifth question: will the receipt be itemized
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 Madison, NJ: hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call before a truck leaves Linden
A tow in Madison is a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted on the call; roadside services are one flat price each; there are no night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
The two numbers in a Madison tow
Two numbers make the price: the hook fee, which is the same for every tow, and the mileage from the pickup in Madison to the drop-off. Short tows to a local shop stay inside the base mileage. Longer ones are quoted per mile. You hear the total before you decide.
One price per roadside job in Madison
A jump start is one price, a tire change is one price, a lockout, a fuel delivery and a winch-out likewise, and none of them rises at night, on a weekend or in bad weather. The only extra is the fuel itself, at cost. If the technician finds the car needs a tow after all, the tow replaces the roadside charge; there is no double call-out.
What is never on a Madison towing bill
No fuel surcharge. No after-hours surcharge. No passenger fee. No administrative fee. No storage, because the car goes where you told us, not to our yard. If a driver ever asks for a different number than dispatch quoted for the same job in Madison, call dispatch from the scene.
How to pay in Madison, and how to get the money back
Pay by any major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car; fleet accounts run on net terms. The receipt itemizes the Madison pickup, the drop-off, the miles and the service, which is exactly what an insurer or a roadside plan asks for. An accident tow is almost always covered under collision, and most roadside memberships pay back an out-of-network call up to their limit.
Want the number for a tow in Madison before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Madison through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 124 (Main Street)
Towing in Madison 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. Hills toward Morristown and the Route 124 curves get slick first in an ice storm.
Ask a dispatcher what Madison sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots in January, bent wheels off Route 24 in April, overheated cars on Route 124 (Main Street) in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Morris County.
Winter in Madison: 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 lot at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots empties late on winter evenings, and the cars left behind are ours to jump or tow. Say whether the car is behind a plow ridge, on a sloped driveway or on the shoulder of Route 124 (Main Street); each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
March and April in Madison: 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. After a hard pothole hit in Madison, 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 Madison 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. Summer in Madison also fills the lots at Drew University, 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.
Towing in Madison 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 124 (Main Street) are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Madison, not a tow, and is priced that way.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Madison. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in MadisonWaiting for a tow truck in Madison: what to do on Route 124 (Main Street), in the driveway, in a lot and in a garage
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.
Stopped on Route 124 (Main Street) or on Route 24
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. The downtown spine from Chatham to Morristown; slow, signalized, with curbside parking and delivery trucks in the way. Do not accept a tow from a truck that shows up uninvited; ours says the company name and your name.
Parked in a Madison driveway or at the curb
Driveways and street parking; a municipal lot and the station lots downtown. University lots need the tech to reach a car that has not moved in a month. 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 Madison
Tell the dispatcher which lot, Madison station lots for instance, and which section or level, plus the posted clearance if there is one. A flatbed cannot get under most decks, so the car rolls to the entrance on skates or a dolly and is loaded outside. Meet the driver at the car when possible, and empty it of anything you need before it is loaded.
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. One Madison note: Hills toward Morristown and the Route 124 curves get slick first in an ice storm.
Safe, visible, reachable: now call. You will hear from the driver before the truck arrives in Madison.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in MadisonTowing for every kind of Madison driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 124 (Main Street)
Roughly 16,000 people live in Madison, and towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Drew University, and the stranger whose car quit on Route 124 (Main Street).
The Rose City: Drew University and Fairleigh Dickinson on one side, a busy Main Street downtown and a Morristown Line station on the other. Commuter cars, student cars that sit for weeks, and a lot of well-kept older vehicles that need a flatbed. Those are the drivers of Madison, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
Commuters in Madison and the lot at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots
The lot at Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots is where Madison 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.
Families in the residential streets of Madison
The borough has a lot of two- and three-car households, and the spare car is the one that fails. A local tow to the shop or the dealer is priced as hook plus mileage, quoted on the call. If you are locked out with a child inside, call 911 first and then us; that call goes to the front of the line.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Drew University
Around Drew University and Fairleigh Dickinson University Florham campus the calls come from work vehicles: a plumber's van, a florist's car, a landscaper's pickup with a trailer behind it. A business tow from Madison is priced the same hook-plus-mileage way as anyone else's and lands at the shop you name; anything over a pickup's weight is a heavy-duty job. Fleet accounts get one invoice a month; ask the dispatcher.
Drivers passing through Madison on Route 124 (Main Street)
Half of the towing calls from Madison are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Route 124 (Main Street) 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 Madison, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.

Call nowMorris County towingMadison towing questions, answered before you call
How long the truck takes to reach Madison, 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 Madison?
About 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, off-peak, from Linden to Madison (zone 3, 35–45 minutes). When Route 124 (Main Street) is jammed or the weather is bad the window grows, and you hear the honest number when you call, not a slogan.
How much does a tow cost in Madison?
Hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, and you hear the total on the phone before the truck moves. Most tows to a shop in Madison or Chatham stay inside the base mileage. Roadside jobs are single flat prices. Nothing extra for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
Do you have a shop or a yard in Madison?
No. We are a mobile service-area business dispatched from Linden, 38 minutes away. There is no shop to drive to; the truck comes to your car anywhere in Madison.
Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or electric car in Madison?
Every AWD and every electric car in Madison goes on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground; a wheel-lift is never used. Say the model when you call so the right truck rolls. See flatbed towing in Madison.
Which shops do you tow to from Madison?
Wherever you say: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Madison, in Chatham or farther. We do not have a storage yard and we do not choose the shop for you. A destination beyond the 45-minute area is priced per mile.
Can you tow from a parking deck or a tight lot in Madison?
Yes. Driveways and street parking; a municipal lot and the station lots downtown. University lots need the tech to reach a car that has not moved in a month. 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 Madison?
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 Madison?
Anyone can call. There is no plan to join and no insurance to show; payment is by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car. You get an itemized receipt, which most policies and roadside plans accept for reimbursement.
What if my car in Madison just needs a jump, a tire or a lockout?
Describe the symptom and the dispatcher sends a technician rather than a truck when that is the fix; it is cheaper than a tow and usually ends with you driving away. See roadside assistance in Madison.
A rotation tow is on its way to my crash in Madison. Can I use you instead?
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 Madison.
Are you open overnight and on holidays in Madison?
Yes. The dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and a tow in Madison at 3 a.m. on a holiday is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.
What other towns around Madison do you serve?
Chatham, Florham Park, Morristown, Morris Township, Summit and New Providence, and every other town within 45 minutes of Linden across Morris County and eight more counties. Each has its own page.
