Tow truck near you in Union Beach, NJ: 38 minutes from our Linden dispatch, 24 hours a day
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 Union Beach 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
Our trucks reach Union Beach in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour. That makes it the outer ring of our 45-minute area, and it shapes everything below. A small bayfront borough rebuilt after Sandy: raised houses, narrow streets, Route 36 along the southern edge. Older cars, pickups and boats on trailers; flooding is the recurring reason for winch-outs.
Everything a Union Beach 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.
How close our trucks really are to Union Beach
Union Beach is one of the Monmouth County towns a Linden truck reaches inside 45 minutes, which is the only reason it is on this site. The drive is about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour by Route 36, Union Avenue and Florence Avenue, off at Garden State Parkway Exit 117 via Route 36, and the arrival window the dispatcher gives you comes from where the nearest truck is at that moment. If Route 36 is backed up, you hear that, not a guess.
What the driver plans for before he reaches Union Beach
Driveways and tight street parking; raised houses mean steep driveway aprons where a flatbed has to load from the street. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is in Union Beach and the driver arrives with the right rigging out: boards for a low bumper, skates for a nose-in spot, a dolly for a wheel that will not turn.
The Union Beach spots that produce the most tow calls
If you drive in Union Beach you already know the spots: Natco Lake, Union Beach waterfront and the beach, Union Avenue and Route 36 commercial strip, and the lots at Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36. Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on Route 36, and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
What a tow in Union Beach costs and why you hear it first
Every tow from Union Beach is priced the same way: a hook fee, then mileage to the destination you choose, added up and quoted on the phone. A jump start or a lockout is a single flat price. The number does not change for a 3 a.m. call, a holiday or a passenger in the cab, and the receipt shows exactly what was quoted.

Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Monmouth CountyRoute 36, Union Avenue and Florence Avenue: how our trucks reach Union Beach and what happens on each road
Route 36, Union Avenue and Florence Avenue carry our trucks from Linden into Union Beach, with Garden State Parkway Exit 117 via Route 36 as the ramps we use, and we answer breakdowns on all of them.
These are the roads a Union Beach 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.
Towing on Route 36 in Union Beach
The only highway; runs along the south side toward Keansburg and Hazlet. A breakdown on Route 36 is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Union Beach: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Tow truck response on Union Avenue, Union Beach
The main street to the waterfront; narrow with cars parked on both sides. On Union Avenue we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Towing on Florence Avenue in Union Beach
Residential grid street; low-lying and flood-prone. A breakdown on Florence Avenue is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Union Beach: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
The exits our trucks take for Union Beach
Our drivers reach Union Beach by Garden State Parkway Exit 117 via Route 36. A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets a truck on the right side of the road the first time. 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.
If you are on the side of Route 36 or any road near Union Beach: 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 Union Beach: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
All eight towing services run to Union Beach 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 Union Beach page linked below.
Each service below is a different truck, a different rigging setup and a different price, and each has its own Union Beach page. The dispatcher chooses from what you describe; you never have to pick the category yourself.
Emergency Towing in Union Beach
The call that comes in most from Union Beach: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Route 36, on Union Avenue, in a driveway or a lot at Union Beach waterfront and the beach, 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 Union Beach.
Union Beach flatbed towing
A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which is what an AWD, an EV, a lowered car or anything that cannot roll needs between Union Beach and the shop. Tell the dispatcher the model and whether it moves; the deck, the winch and the skates are chosen before the truck leaves Linden. See flatbed towing in Union Beach.
Union Beach accident towing
A crash in Union Beach, whether on Union Avenue or in a lot at Union Beach waterfront and the beach, ends with two decisions: who tows the car and where it goes. Make both yours: call us before the rotation truck arrives, and we clear the lane, photograph the damage for the claim and deliver the car to the body shop you pick. See accident towing in Union Beach.
Union Beach local towing
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Union Beach or in Keansburg, 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 Union Beach.
Union Beach long distance towing
A car that has to go a long way from Union Beach rides on a dedicated flatbed at a quoted per-mile price, photographed at both ends and checked at every stop. Details on long distance towing in Union Beach.
Union Beach motorcycle towing
A motorcycle from Union Beach never rides on a sling or a wheel-lift; it stands upright in a front-wheel chock on the flatbed with soft loops on the bars and the fairings protected. A breakdown on Union Avenue, a bike that will not start after winter storage, or a drop in the driveway: say the model and it is loaded right. See motorcycle towing in Union Beach.
Union Beach heavy duty towing
Commercial vehicles break down in Union Beach 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 Union Beach.
Winch Out for Union Beach drivers
Most of the borough floods in coastal storms; winch-outs from flooded streets and soft sand shoulders are common. 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 Union Beach.
Cannot tell which of the eight you need in Union Beach? Say what happened; the dispatcher picks the truck and quotes it.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesJump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel in Union Beach: roadside assistance at a flat price, no plan required
Roadside assistance in Union Beach 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.
Most Union Beach breakdowns are not tows. A battery that died in the lot at Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36, a flat on Union Avenue, keys locked in the car at Union Avenue, an empty tank on Route 36: each is fixed on the spot by a tech with the right tool, and you drive away.
Roadside Assistance for Union Beach drivers
Most Union Beach 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 Union Beach.
Union Beach jump start
Click, click, nothing in Union Beach? 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 Union Beach.
Flat Tire Change for Union Beach drivers
Potholes on Route 36 and Union Avenue 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 Union Beach.
Car Lockout for Union Beach drivers
Damage-free lockouts anywhere in Union Beach, 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 Union Beach.
Fuel Delivery in Union Beach
Ran dry on Route 36 or in a Union Beach 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 Union Beach.
Dead battery, flat, locked out or out of gas in Union Beach? A tech is one call away, no membership.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in Union BeachEvery Union Beach neighborhood gets the same truck: Route 36 side, Waterfront / Front Street, Union Avenue and Florence Avenue area
From Route 36 side to Florence Avenue area, every part of Union Beach is served by the same trucks at the same quoted price; the full list is Route 36 side, Waterfront / Front Street, Union Avenue and Florence Avenue area.
Union Beach is not one kind of street. Driveways and tight street parking; raised houses mean steep driveway aprons where a flatbed has to load from the street. The sections below are the parts of town our drivers know by name, and what changes about a tow in each.
Route 36 side: what a tow looks like here
Whether the car is in Route 36 side 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. Route 36 side matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Waterfront / Front Street
In Waterfront / Front Street the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Waterfront / Front Street 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 Waterfront / Front Street as in the rest of Union Beach: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Towing and roadside help in Union Avenue
Whether the car is in Union 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. Union Avenue matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Tow truck in Florence Avenue area, Union Beach
Florence Avenue area gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Union Beach: 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 Florence 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.
Route 36 side or the far side of Union Beach: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchUnion Beach waterfront and the beach, Union Avenue and Route 36 commercial strip: the Union Beach spots our trucks are sent to most
In Union Beach the pickups cluster at Union Beach waterfront and the beach, Union Avenue, Route 36 commercial strip and Natco Lake and the lots at Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Union Beach waterfront and the beach: tow truck and roadside response
Union Beach waterfront and the beach is one of the places Union Beach 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.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Union Avenue
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Union Avenue gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Union Beach.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Route 36 commercial strip
A car that will not start at Route 36 commercial strip 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 Route 36 commercial strip, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Towing at Natco Lake
We reach Natco Lake in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Natco Lake 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 Natco Lake the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36: the commuter-lot calls
The lot at Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36 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 Union Beach and car lockouts in Union Beach.
If you are at one of these Union Beach spots now, say which one and where in the lot; a truck or a tech is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Jump start in Union BeachWhat a good towing company in Union Beach does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
Five checks separate a straight towing company in Union Beach from an expensive one: the whole price up front, a real arrival window from Linden, the car delivered where you say, a receipt that lists every charge, and no truck that turns up uninvited on the shoulder of Route 36.
A tow is a purchase made under stress. These five checks take a minute and separate a straight company from an expensive surprise, in Union Beach 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
"Twenty minutes" from a call center that is booking a subcontractor means nothing. Our trucks leave Linden, 38 minutes from Union Beach 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.
Confirm that the car goes to your shop, not theirs
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 Union Beach hold onto that choice; neither the other driver, the officer nor the tow company gets to pick your shop or your storage lot.
Turn away the truck that shows up on its own
On Route 36 and the other highways around Union Beach, 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
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 Union Beach, NJ: hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call before a truck leaves Linden
A tow in Union Beach 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.
How a tow from Union Beach 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 Union Beach to the drop. A tow to a shop in Union Beach or nearby Keansburg is usually inside the base mileage; one across Monmouth County or beyond is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher gives you the sum, not the parts.
One price per roadside job in Union Beach
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 Union Beach 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 Union Beach, call dispatch from the scene.
How to pay in Union Beach, and how to get the money back
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash are all taken on site, and fleets can set up monthly terms. Because the receipt lists the pickup in Union Beach, the destination, the mileage and the service, it satisfies insurers and roadside plans without a follow-up call. Collision coverage nearly always reimburses an accident tow; most memberships reimburse an outside call up to their cap.
Get the exact price for a tow in Union Beach in thirty seconds. Asking is free.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Union Beach through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 36
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of towing call from Union Beach: 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. Most of the borough floods in coastal storms; winch-outs from flooded streets and soft sand shoulders are common.
Ask a dispatcher what Union Beach sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36 in January, bent wheels off Union Avenue in April, overheated cars on Route 36 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Monmouth County.
Winter in Union Beach: 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 Union Beach; call as soon as you know you need us, because arrival windows stretch when every shoulder on Route 36 has a car on it.
March and April in Union Beach: 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 Union Beach, 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 Union Beach 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 Union Beach also fills the lots at Union Beach waterfront and the beach, 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 Union Beach
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 Union Beach; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Union Beach.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Union Beach. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in Union BeachWhile you wait for the truck in Union Beach: on the shoulder of Route 36, 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.
Shoulder stop near Union Beach: Route 36 or Union Avenue
If it will roll, roll it: fully onto the shoulder, or off at the next exit if one is close. Wheels turned away from traffic, hazards on. The safest place is inside the car with the belt on, unless the car itself is at risk, in which case stand behind the guardrail well away from it. The only highway; runs along the south side toward Keansburg and Hazlet. Decline any truck you did not call; our driver gives the company name and yours.
Parked in a Union Beach driveway or at the curb
Driveways and tight street parking; raised houses mean steep driveway aprons where a flatbed has to load from the street. Clear whatever the driver has to get past, unlock the car and keep the key in your hand. On a street with alternate-side parking or a sweeping window, say so; the truck can move the car before the ticket is written.
In a lot or a garage in Union Beach
Say the name of the place, the lot section or the garage level, and the posted clearance if you can see it. A flatbed does not fit under most decks; the car is moved to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded outside. Meet the driver at the car if you can, and take your belongings out before it is loaded.
The driver's call and the documents he will ask for
Expect a call from the driver when he is minutes out, so keep the phone charged. Have your license, registration and insurance card together; after a lockout they are checked before the truck leaves. You get the itemized receipt at the drop. Worth knowing in Union Beach: Most of the borough floods in coastal storms; winch-outs from flooded streets and soft sand shoulders are common.
Belt on, hazards on, phone charged. Make the call; the driver rings you before he reaches Union Beach.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in Union BeachThe Union Beach drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
Towing in Union Beach serves roughly 6,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36, families in the residential streets, businesses near Union Beach waterfront and the beach, and drivers who only know Union Beach as an exit on Route 36.
A small bayfront borough rebuilt after Sandy: raised houses, narrow streets, Route 36 along the southern edge. Older cars, pickups and boats on trailers; flooding is the recurring reason for winch-outs. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Union Beach commuters, from the platform at Hazlet station is closest; NJ Transit buses on Route 36 to the driveway
A Union Beach commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Route 36 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.
Union Beach households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
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.
Businesses and fleets near Union Beach waterfront and the beach and Union Avenue
Around Union Beach waterfront and the beach and Union Avenue 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 Union Beach 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.
Passing through Union Beach on Route 36 when the car quit
Union Beach sits on Route 36, 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 Union Beach, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 36: everyone in Union Beach calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowMonmouth County towingQuestions Union Beach drivers ask before they call a tow truck
Arrival time to Union Beach, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
What is the arrival time for a tow in Union Beach?
On a normal day, about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from the Linden yard; Union Beach is zone 3, 35–45 minutes. Traffic on Route 36 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 Union Beach priced?
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 Union Beach or Keansburg 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 Union Beach?
There is no shop in Union Beach. We are a mobile service dispatched from Linden, 38 minutes away, and the truck comes to the car wherever it is in town; there is nowhere you need to drive to.
Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or electric car in Union Beach?
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 Union Beach.
Which shops do you tow to from Union Beach?
Wherever you say: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Union Beach, in Keansburg 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.
My car is in a parking garage or a tight lot in Union Beach. Can you get it?
Yes. Driveways and tight street parking; raised houses mean steep driveway aprons where a flatbed has to load from the street. 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 Union Beach?
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 Union Beach call, without a membership?
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.
Do I need a tow if the car in Union Beach only needs a jump or a tire?
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 Union Beach.
The police in Union Beach already called a rotation tow. Can you still take the car?
Usually. If our truck can arrive within a reasonable time and the car is not blocking traffic, most officers release it to the tow of your choice; tell the officer yours is coming. If the car has already gone to a rotation yard, we pick it up on a signed release and stop the storage fees that day. See accident towing in Union Beach.
Do you tow at night and on holidays in Union Beach?
Around the clock, every day. Dispatch never closes, and the price structure for Union Beach does not change for the hour, the weekend or the holiday.
Which towns near Union Beach do you also cover?
Keansburg, Hazlet, Keyport, Aberdeen and Atlantic Highlands, and every other town within 45 minutes of Linden across Monmouth County and eight more counties. Each 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.
