A tow truck near you in Somerville: dispatched from Linden, 40 minutes away, around the clock
The NJ Towing Service sends flatbed and wheel-lift trucks from Linden to Somerville in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, 24/7, with a flat price quoted on the call and no membership required.
The county seat, with a walkable Main Street downtown, the courthouse, RWJ Somerset hospital and tight residential streets. Downtown lockouts, hospital-lot dead batteries and Route 206 breakdowns. From the Linden yard, Somerville is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, so it sits in the outer ring of our 45-minute area.
Everything a Somerville driver needs to know before calling a tow truck is here, in the order you need it: how fast, how much, which truck, where we go. Or skip it and call (908) 444-0129; a real dispatcher picks up at any hour and quotes the job before the truck rolls.
Why a Linden-based tow truck reaches Somerville fast
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. Somerville is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour out by Route 206, Main Street and Route 28 (East Main Street), and the dispatcher builds your arrival window from where the nearest available truck actually is, not from a slogan. Rush hour and storms stretch it, and you are told so on the call.
What the driver plans for before he reaches Somerville
Downtown decks and metered street parking, hospital decks, driveways elsewhere. Decks are low; skates. That detail is why we ask where the car is parked, not just the address in Somerville. The truck that shows up is set up for that spot before it leaves Linden.
Where Somerville drivers call us from most
Most Somerville calls come from a short list of places: Somerville station, Somerset County administration complex, Somerville downtown on Main Street, Somerset County Courthouse and RWJ University Hospital Somerset, and the lots at Somerville station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line). Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on Route 206, and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
Somerville towing rates: hook plus mileage, nothing hidden
A tow in Somerville 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 Somerset CountyThe roads into Somerville: tow truck response on Route 206, Main Street, Route 28 (East Main Street) and Route 22 (border)
From Linden we reach Somerville by Route 206, Main Street and Route 28 (East Main Street), using I-287 Exit 17 (Route 202-206, via Bridgewater) and Route 22 at the Somerville Circle, and we respond to breakdowns on every one of them.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Somerville by its roads: Route 206, Main Street and Route 28 (East Main Street) 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.
Towing on Route 206 in Somerville
Runs along the western edge toward Hillsborough and the Somerville Circle; busy. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Route 206; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Main Street breakdowns and tows in Somerville
The downtown strip with angled parking and decks. If you are on a shoulder of Main Street, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Route 28 (East Main Street) breakdowns and tows in Somerville
Toward Bound Brook; busy and tight. A breakdown on Route 28 (East Main Street) is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Somerville: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Route 22 (border) breakdowns and tows in Somerville
Just north via the Somerville Circle. If you are on a shoulder of Route 22 (border), stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Highway exits that serve Somerville
I-287 Exit 17 (Route 202-206, via Bridgewater) and Route 22 at the Somerville Circle are the exits our trucks use for Somerville. If you are on the highway itself, the exit number is the single most useful thing you can tell the dispatcher. On the express lanes of the Turnpike and Parkway, where there is no exit to reach, the Authority's garage brings the car off and we take over at the exit.
On a shoulder near Somerville? Belted in, hazards on. Call and say the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEvery towing service we dispatch to Somerville: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
All eight towing services run to Somerville 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 Somerville page linked below.
Each service below is a different truck, a different rigging setup and a different price, and each has its own Somerville page. The dispatcher chooses from what you describe; you never have to pick the category yourself.
Emergency Towing for Somerville drivers
The call that comes in most from Somerville: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Route 206, on Main Street, in a driveway or a lot at Somerville downtown on Main Street, 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 Somerville.
Flatbed Towing in Somerville
Somerville 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 Somerville.
Accident Towing in Somerville
Collisions at the lights on Route 206 and Main Street are a daily Somerville 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 Somerville.
Local Towing for Somerville drivers
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Somerville or in Bridgewater, from the dealer, out of a driveway where a project car has sat too long, or to the inspection station on a car with dead plates. Hook plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled for a time that suits you or sent right away. See local towing in Somerville.
Long Distance Towing in Somerville
From Somerville 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 Somerville.
Motorcycle Towing for Somerville drivers
Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in Somerville 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 Somerville.
Heavy Duty Towing in Somerville
Commercial vehicles break down in Somerville 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 Somerville.
Winch Out for Somerville drivers
Winter puts Somerville cars off the shoulder of Route 206 and into plow ridges at the end of driveways. 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 Somerville.
You do not have to name the service. Describe the car and where it is in Somerville, and dispatch chooses and prices the job.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesJump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel in Somerville: roadside assistance at a flat price, no plan required
Roadside assistance in Somerville means a technician at your car in about 40 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.
A tow is the last resort in Somerville, not the first. A borough of 12,000 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 Somerville station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line), a jack and an impact gun for a flat on Route 206, lockout tools for Somerset County Courthouse, a fuel can for Main Street. Most of those calls end with you driving away.
Somerville roadside assistance
Most Somerville breakdowns are not tows. A technician with a jump pack, a jack, lockout tools or a fuel can fixes it on the spot for less than a tow, and the flatbed is dispatched from the same call if it turns out to be needed. See roadside assistance in Somerville.
Jump Start for Somerville drivers
A car that sat all day at Somerville station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) with a dome light on is the classic Somerville 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 Somerville.
Flat Tire Change for Somerville drivers
A flat on a Somerville 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 Somerville.
Car Lockout in Somerville
Damage-free lockouts anywhere in Somerville, 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 Somerville.
Fuel Delivery for Somerville drivers
Ran dry on Route 206 or in a Somerville 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 Somerville.
A jump, a spare, an unlocked door or a few gallons of gas in Somerville: one call, one flat price, no plan to join.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in SomervilleTowing in every Somerville neighborhood: East End, Hospital area, Downtown Somerville and West End
East End, Hospital area, Downtown Somerville and West End: every section of Somerville gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Somerville is not one kind of street. Downtown decks and metered street parking, hospital decks, driveways elsewhere. Decks are low; skates. The sections below are the parts of town our drivers know by name, and what changes about a tow in each.
East End: what a tow looks like here
Calls from East End are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Somerville: 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 East End; it is faster than a house number on a long Somerville block.
Towing and roadside help in Hospital area
Whether the car is in Hospital area 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. Hospital area matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Downtown Somerville
Whether the car is in Downtown Somerville 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 Somerville matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Tow truck in West End, Somerville
In West End the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A West End 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 West End as in the rest of Somerville: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Anywhere in Somerville, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchThe places in Somerville that call for a tow truck: Somerset County administration complex, Somerville downtown on Main Street and Somerset County Courthouse and the roads between
Somerset County administration complex, Somerville downtown on Main Street, Somerset County Courthouse, RWJ University Hospital Somerset and Somerville station and the lots at Somerville station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) are where Somerville drivers most often need us, and each is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from a Linden truck or technician.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Somerset County administration complex
We reach Somerset County administration complex in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Somerset County administration complex 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 Somerset County administration complex the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Towing at Somerville downtown on Main Street
Somerville downtown on Main Street is one of the places Somerville 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 Somerset County Courthouse
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Somerset County Courthouse gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Somerville.
Breakdowns and roadside help at RWJ University Hospital Somerset
RWJ University Hospital Somerset is one of the places Somerville 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.
Somerville station: tow truck and roadside response
We reach Somerville station in about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Somerville station 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 Somerville station the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Dead batteries and lockouts at Somerville station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line)
Commuter lots are dead-battery country: a dome light left on at 7 a.m. is a car that will not start at 7 p.m. A technician with a commercial jump pack meets you at the car, starts it and load-tests the battery so you know whether it will hold. Keys locked in the car at the station are opened without damage in minutes. Both are one flat price; see jump starts in Somerville and car lockouts in Somerville.
Stuck at Somerset County administration complex 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 SomervilleWhat a good towing company in Somerville does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
Before you accept a tow in Somerville, 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 206.
A tow is a purchase made under stress. These five checks take a minute and separate a straight company from an expensive surprise, in Somerville or anywhere else.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
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.
The second question: how far away is the truck, really
A call center that answers "twenty minutes" is quoting a subcontractor it has not spoken to yet. Our trucks are dispatched from Linden, 40 minutes from Somerville when the roads are clear, and the dispatcher sees where the nearest one is on a screen. You get the honest window, and at rush hour on Route 206 that includes the bad news. The roads section is built on that same real distance.
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 Somerville 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 206 and the other highways around Somerville, 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.
Insist on an itemized receipt
The receipt should show the hook fee, the mileage, both addresses, the time and the plate; that is what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan reads before reimbursing you, and it is your record if a charge is ever disputed. Ours arrives by text or email when the car is dropped. Any question afterward goes to the same dispatcher at (908) 444-0129, not a billing department. More on contacting dispatch.
Ask any of the five when you call Somerville dispatch; the answers match this page, word for word.
Call and askService areaTowing prices in Somerville, NJ: hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call before a truck leaves Linden
A tow in Somerville 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.
Hook fee plus mileage from Somerville
Two numbers make the price: the hook fee, which is the same for every tow, and the mileage from the pickup in Somerville 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.
Flat roadside prices in Somerville
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 Somerville receipt
The list of things we do not charge for in Somerville is longer than the list of things we do: no fuel surcharge, no night or holiday rate, no fee for a passenger, no paperwork fee, no storage because the car goes to your shop rather than our yard. If a driver ever quotes something different from what dispatch said, call dispatch from the scene and it is settled there.
How to pay in Somerville, 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 Somerville 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.

Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Somerville by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of towing call from Somerville: 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.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Somerville 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 Somerville: 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. In Somerville the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
Pothole season in Somerville: March and April on Main Street
Spring brings suspension and tire damage from potholes; a car that hit one hard and now pulls or clunks should ride a flatbed rather than be driven. The spring calls cluster around Somerville downtown on Main Street and along Route 206, where the traffic is heaviest and the pavement breaks first; if the steering wheel sits off-center after a hit, the car rides the flatbed to an alignment shop rather than chewing up a new tire on the way.
Summer towing in Somerville: 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 in Somerville also fills the lots at Somerville downtown on Main Street, and a car that sat in the sun all afternoon on a weak battery does not start at closing time; the technician carries a jump pack and checks the coolant, and the flatbed is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Somerville
In the fall the calls shift to deer strikes at dusk and wet-leaf spins on the ramps; both end with a flatbed and a body shop. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Somerville; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Somerville.
Whatever the month, the number and the price structure are the same in Somerville. Call (908) 444-0129 and say what happened.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in SomervilleWhile you wait for the truck in Somerville: on the shoulder of Route 206, in a driveway, in a lot or under a deck
Roll the car as far out of traffic as it will go, put the hazards on, stay belted inside unless the car is in danger, keep the phone charged for the driver's call, and have the key, the license and the registration where you can reach them.
Shoulder stop near Somerville: Route 206 or Main Street
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. Runs along the western edge toward Hillsborough and the Somerville Circle; busy. Do not accept a tow from a truck that shows up uninvited; ours says the company name and your name.
In a Somerville driveway or on the street
Downtown decks and metered street parking, hospital decks, driveways elsewhere. Decks are low; skates. 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 parking lot or under a deck in Somerville
Give the name of the place, the lot section or the level of the garage, and the clearance on the sign if you can see one. Most decks are too low for a flatbed, so the car is brought to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded in the open. If you can, wait at the car, and take your things out of it before it goes on the truck.
Keep the phone on and the paperwork ready
The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours. Have your license, registration and insurance card ready; after a lockout we ask for them before we leave. At the destination you get an itemized receipt.
Belt on, hazards on, phone charged. Make the call; the driver rings you before he reaches Somerville.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in SomervilleTowing for every kind of Somerville driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 206
Towing in Somerville serves roughly 12,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Somerville station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line), families in the residential streets, businesses near Somerville downtown on Main Street, and drivers who only know Somerville as an exit on Route 206.
The county seat, with a walkable Main Street downtown, the courthouse, RWJ Somerset hospital and tight residential streets. Downtown lockouts, hospital-lot dead batteries and Route 206 breakdowns. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
The commuter's car in Somerville: Somerville station (NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line) and the roads to it
A Somerville commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Route 206 in the morning rush. We tow it to the shop you name or the driveway you left from, and tell you the price first. Most commuter calls are quoted and dispatched in under three minutes.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Somerville
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. Downtown decks and metered street parking, hospital decks, driveways elsewhere. Decks are low; skates. 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.
Businesses and fleets near Somerville downtown on Main Street and Somerset County Courthouse
Around Somerville downtown on Main Street and Somerset County Courthouse 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 Somerville 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.
Strangers to Somerville: breakdowns on Route 206 on the way somewhere else
Somerville sits on Route 206, which means strangers break down here every day. Our dispatcher knows the road by exit and by landmark, and the truck is set up for a shoulder pickup: lights, cones, and a fast load. Where the car goes is your choice: a shop in Somerville, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 206: everyone in Somerville calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowSomerset County towingQuestions Somerville drivers ask before they call a tow truck
Arrival time to Somerville, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
How fast can a tow truck get to Somerville?
About 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from our Linden yard on a normal day; Somerville is in zone 3 (35–45 minutes). Rush hour on Route 206 and storms stretch it, and the dispatcher gives you the real window when you call.
What does towing cost in Somerville, NJ?
A flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted on the call before the truck rolls. A tow to a shop in Somerville or a neighboring town usually stays inside the base mileage. Roadside services are one flat price each. No night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
Can I bring my car to you in Somerville?
There is no shop in Somerville. We are a mobile service dispatched from Linden, 40 minutes away, and the truck comes to the car wherever it is in town; there is nowhere you need to drive to.
Is a flatbed available in Somerville for AWD and EVs?
Every AWD and every electric car in Somerville 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 Somerville.
Where will you take my car from Somerville?
The destination is yours: a mechanic, a dealership, a body shop, home, inside Somerville 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 Somerville?
We can. Downtown decks and metered street parking, hospital decks, driveways elsewhere. Decks are low; skates. Decks are too low for a flatbed, so the car is moved out to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded there. Tell dispatch where the car is and which level.
Can I ride along with my car from Somerville?
Usually, yes: one passenger rides in the cab to the destination. Let the dispatcher know how many people are with the car so the driver plans for it.
Can anyone in Somerville call, without a membership?
No. You call, we come, you pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. We give you an itemized receipt; most insurance policies and roadside plans reimburse an out-of-network tow.
Do I need a tow if the car in Somerville 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 Somerville.
Can you take my car from a crash scene in Somerville 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 Somerville.
Do you tow at night and on holidays in Somerville?
Yes. The dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and a tow in Somerville at 3 a.m. on a holiday is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.
What other towns around Somerville do you serve?
Bridgewater, Raritan, Hillsborough, Manville, Bound Brook and Branchburg for a start, and beyond them every town inside 45 minutes of Linden across Somerset County and eight more counties; every one has its own page.
