Tow truck near you in Weehawken, NJ: 38 minutes from our Linden dispatch, 24 hours a day
The NJ Towing Service sends flatbed and wheel-lift trucks from Linden to Weehawken in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, 24/7, with a flat price quoted on the call and no membership required.
A small township on the Palisades and the Hudson waterfront that the Lincoln Tunnel helix corkscrews through: brownstone blocks on the cliff, the Lincoln Harbor and Port Imperial towers below, and the ferry terminal. Commuter cars, tunnel-bound traffic and building garages on the waterfront. From the Linden yard, Weehawken is about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, so it sits in the outer ring of our 45-minute area.
This page is built for one person: the driver in Weehawken whose car just stopped. It covers the roads we come in on, the spots in town where cars die most, how a tow works on Weehawken's streets, the price, and the towns next door. Stuck now? Call (908) 444-0129. Dispatch answers 24/7 and the price is quoted first.
How close our trucks really are to Weehawken
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. Weehawken is about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour out by Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, Boulevard East and Park Avenue, 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 Weehawken
Street parking on the cliff-top blocks with resident permits, and tower garages on the waterfront with clearance too low for a flatbed; waterfront cars come out to Port Imperial Boulevard on a dolly. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is in Weehawken 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 Weehawken spots that produce the most tow calls
If you drive in Weehawken you already know the spots: Weehawken waterfront walkway, Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza, Port Imperial ferry terminal, Lincoln Harbor and Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook, and the lots at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor and NJ Transit buses on Boulevard East. Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
What a tow in Weehawken costs and why you hear it first
A tow in Weehawken 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 Hudson CountyTow truck service on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, Boulevard East, Park Avenue and Port Imperial Boulevard: the roads we run to reach Weehawken
Our route from Linden to Weehawken runs Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, Boulevard East and Park Avenue, coming off at Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel and NJ Turnpike Exit 16E (via Secaucus), and a breakdown on any of those roads is a direct dispatch.
These are the roads a Weehawken 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.
Tow truck response on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, Weehawken
The helix and the tunnel plaza are in Weehawken; a breakdown here is a police-coordinated recovery with no shoulder. If you are on a shoulder of Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Tow truck response on Boulevard East, Weehawken
The cliff-top road with the skyline views; narrow, parked up, and where most in-town calls start. On Boulevard East we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Tow truck response on Park Avenue, Weehawken
The residential spine to Union City and West New York. A breakdown on Park Avenue is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Weehawken: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Port Imperial Boulevard breakdowns and tows in Weehawken
The waterfront road along Lincoln Harbor and the ferry; tower garages on both sides. A breakdown on Port Imperial Boulevard is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Weehawken: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Tow truck response on Pershing Road / Hackensack Plank Road, Weehawken
The steep roads down the cliff to the waterfront; ice first. If you are on a shoulder of Pershing Road / Hackensack Plank Road, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Weehawken by exit number
For Weehawken the ramps to know are Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel and NJ Turnpike Exit 16E (via Secaucus). 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. 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.
If you are on the side of Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or any road near Weehawken: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingTowing in Weehawken by job: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
Emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out: all eight run to Weehawken from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Weehawken page below.
The word "towing" covers eight different jobs in Weehawken, and the dispatcher sorts them from what you say: a car that will not start at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor is an emergency tow, an AWD or an EV is a flatbed, a crash on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix is an accident tow, a car in a ditch is a winch-out. Each has a page written for Weehawken.
Emergency Towing for Weehawken drivers
Emergency towing in Weehawken means the car is not moving and you need it gone now: from Port Imperial ferry terminal, from a driveway in The Heights / Boulevard East, from the shoulder of Boulevard East. The dispatcher quotes the tow, the nearest truck is assigned while you are on the line, and it costs the same at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m. See emergency towing in Weehawken.
Flatbed Towing for Weehawken drivers
All-wheel-drive SUVs, electric cars, lowered and luxury cars and anything that will not roll ride on a flatbed with all four wheels strapped at the tires. Street parking on the cliff-top blocks with resident permits, and tower garages on the waterfront with clearance too low for a flatbed; waterfront cars come out to Port Imperial Boulevard on a dolly., so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Weehawken.
Accident Towing in Weehawken
After a crash on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or at a Weehawken intersection, calling your own tow before the police rotation truck arrives keeps you in control of where the car goes and what it costs. We recover, clear the lane, photograph the car for your insurer and deliver it to the body shop you choose. See accident towing in Weehawken.
Local Towing in Weehawken
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Weehawken or in Union City, 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 Weehawken.
Long Distance Towing in Weehawken
A car leaving Weehawken for another state, a college campus or a buyer who found it online rides on one flatbed with one driver the whole way, at one price quoted before it is loaded: hook, mileage, tolls and the return leg included. Photos at pickup and at the drop. See long distance towing in Weehawken.
Weehawken motorcycle towing
A motorcycle from Weehawken 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 Boulevard East, 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 Weehawken.
Heavy Duty Towing for Weehawken drivers
Commercial vehicles break down in Weehawken 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 Weehawken.
Weehawken winch out
Stuck in snow, mud or a ditch in Weehawken but not damaged? That is a winch-out, not a tow, and it costs less. Straight pull, no bumper hooks, and the flatbed is already there if something is bent. See winch out in Weehawken.
You do not have to name the service. Describe the car and where it is in Weehawken, and dispatch chooses and prices the job.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside help in Weehawken without a membership: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery
A technician comes to your car anywhere in Weehawken for a jump start, a tire change, a lockout or fuel delivery at one flat price each, and the flatbed is dispatched from the same call if the car needs a tow after all.
Most Weehawken breakdowns are not tows. A battery that died in the lot at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor, a flat on Boulevard East, keys locked in the car at Port Imperial ferry terminal, an empty tank on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix: each is fixed on the spot by a tech with the right tool, and you drive away.
Roadside Assistance for Weehawken drivers
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Weehawken at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor keep us busy with dead batteries. Port Imperial ferry terminal keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Weehawken.
Jump Start for Weehawken drivers
Click, click, nothing in Weehawken? 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 Weehawken.
Weehawken flat tire change
A flat on a Weehawken 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 Weehawken.
Car Lockout for Weehawken drivers
Locked out in Weehawken, at Port Imperial ferry terminal, at a pump on Boulevard East or in your own driveway: the technician opens the door with an inflatable wedge and a long-reach tool, without touching the wiring or the glass, and checks your ID afterward. A child or a pet inside means 911 first, then us. See car lockout in Weehawken.
Fuel Delivery in Weehawken
Ran dry on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or in a Weehawken 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 Weehawken.
A jump, a spare, an unlocked door or a few gallons of gas in Weehawken: one call, one flat price, no plan to join.

Tow truck in The Heights / Boulevard East, Weehawken
The Heights / Boulevard East gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Weehawken: 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 The Heights / Boulevard East and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.

In Weehawken the pickups cluster at Port Imperial ferry terminal, Lincoln Harbor, Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook, Weehawken waterfront walkway and Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza and the lots at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor and NJ Transit buses on Boulevard East; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Towing at Port Imperial ferry terminal

Towing at Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook
A car that will not start at Hamilton Park and the Boulevard East overlook is a jump start first and a tow only if the battery is finished; keys locked in the car are a lockout.

Jump starts and lockouts at the station lots: Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor and NJ Transit buses on Boulevard East
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 Weehawken and car lockouts in Weehawken.
If you are at one of these Weehawken 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 WeehawkenWhat a good towing company in Weehawken does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
Before you accept a tow in Weehawken, 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix.
Most drivers in Weehawken pick a tow company once, in a hurry, from a search result. Here is what to listen for in the first minute of the call, whoever you call.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
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 Weehawken 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 Weehawken 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
Trucks that appear uninvited at a crash on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or the highways around Weehawken are chasing the job, and the invoice that follows is the reason the state regulates non-consensual tows. Our driver identifies the company and says your name on arrival. If another truck gets there first, say no and wait; that is your right.
Ask for a receipt that lists every charge
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 Weehawken dispatch; the answers match this page, word for word.
Call and askService areaWhat a tow in Weehawken costs, how the number is built, and why you hear it before dispatch
Towing in Weehawken is priced as a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, quoted before dispatch; each roadside service has one flat price; nothing is added for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
How a tow from Weehawken is priced: hook, then miles
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Weehawken to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Weehawken itself or in Union City usually falls within the base mileage; a tow across the county is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher adds the two and gives you one total.
One price per roadside job in Weehawken
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.
What is never on a Weehawken towing bill
Nothing is added after the quote. Not for the hour, not for the holiday, not for a passenger, not for the fuel to get to Weehawken. Storage never appears because we do not take cars to a yard. The receipt matches the call.
Payment and reimbursement for a Weehawken tow
Pay by any major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car; fleet accounts run on net terms. The receipt itemizes the Weehawken 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.
Thirty seconds on the phone gets you the exact price of a tow from Weehawken. There is no charge for asking.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Weehawken by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
Towing in Weehawken 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. The cliff roads ice first; the waterfront floods in nor'easters.
Ask a dispatcher what Weehawken sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor in January, bent wheels off Boulevard East in April, overheated cars on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Hudson County.
Winter in Weehawken: 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 Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor 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 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Spring towing in Weehawken after the thaw
Spring brings suspension and tire damage from potholes; a car that hit one hard and now pulls or clunks should ride a flatbed rather than be driven. The spring calls cluster around Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza and along Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, 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.
Towing in Weehawken in July and August
Summer emergencies are overheating and blown tires at speed; pull off, hood closed, and let the truck bring it to a shop before the head gasket goes. Holiday weekends load Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Towing in Weehawken 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. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Weehawken; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Weehawken.
The seasons change the calls from Weehawken, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in WeehawkenWhat to do while you wait for a tow truck in Weehawken: shoulders on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix, driveways, lots and garages
Move the car out of the lane if it still rolls, hazards on, seatbelt on, stay inside unless the car itself is at risk, keep the phone alive for the driver's call, and get the key, license and registration ready.
Stopped on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix or on Boulevard East
While the car still moves, get it all the way onto the shoulder or down the next ramp, and turn the front wheels away from the lane. Hazards on. Stay belted in the car unless it is in danger; if it is, get behind the guardrail well clear of it. The helix and the tunnel plaza are in Weehawken; a breakdown here is a police-coordinated recovery with no shoulder. A truck that appears without being called is not ours; ours announces the company name and your name.
In a Weehawken driveway or on the street
Street parking on the cliff-top blocks with resident permits, and tower garages on the waterfront with clearance too low for a flatbed; waterfront cars come out to Port Imperial Boulevard on a dolly. 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.
Weehawken lots and garages: what the driver needs to know
Tell the dispatcher which lot, Port Imperial ferry terminal 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
A few minutes before he arrives the driver calls, so you know which truck is yours. Keep the license, the registration and the insurance card handy; after a lockout we check them before leaving. The itemized receipt comes at the destination. A Weehawken note: The cliff roads ice first; the waterfront floods in nor'easters.
Belted in, hazards on, phone charged. Now call. The driver will call you back before he arrives in Weehawken.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in WeehawkenTowing for every kind of Weehawken driver: the commuter, the family, the fleet and the stranger on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix
The towing calls from Weehawken come from a township of about 17,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix.
A small township on the Palisades and the Hudson waterfront that the Lincoln Tunnel helix corkscrews through: brownstone blocks on the cliff, the Lincoln Harbor and Port Imperial towers below, and the ferry terminal. Commuter cars, tunnel-bound traffic and building garages on the waterfront. Those are the drivers of Weehawken, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
Commuters in Weehawken and the lot at Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Weehawken, and Port Imperial ferry terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Port Imperial and Lincoln Harbor is where many of them start: the car sat all day and will not turn over at 6 p.m. The dispatcher quotes the tow to your shop or your driveway on the call, and says so if a jump or a tire would be the cheaper fix. What a commuter needs is an honest arrival window, and that is what the dispatcher gives.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Weehawken
A township of about 17,000 people means thousands of family driveways, and the family car fails on a schedule: before school pickup, on the way to practice, the morning of a trip. Street parking on the cliff-top blocks with resident permits, and tower garages on the waterfront with clearance too low for a flatbed; waterfront cars come out to Port Imperial Boulevard on a dolly. The truck arrives set up for the driveway, and the passengers ride in the cab. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Weehawken businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Lincoln Tunnel helix and plaza cannot sit for a day. A small business in Weehawken gets the same dispatcher and the same flat quote, plus an itemized receipt that works for the books. Larger trucks are a heavy-duty job in Weehawken, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Drivers passing through Weehawken on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix
Half of the towing calls from Weehawken are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix on the way somewhere else. You do not need to know the town. Say the road, the direction and the last exit or a sign you can see, and the dispatcher places you. If the car is going far, we quote it as one number; see long distance towing.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix: everyone in Weehawken calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowHudson County towingQuestions Weehawken drivers ask before they call a tow truck
How long the truck takes to reach Weehawken, 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.
What is the arrival time for a tow in Weehawken?
About 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, off-peak, from Linden to Weehawken (zone 3, 35–45 minutes). When Route 495 / Lincoln Tunnel helix 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 Weehawken?
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 Weehawken or a neighboring town usually stays inside the base mileage. Roadside services are one flat price each. No night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
Is there a NJ Towing Service location in Weehawken?
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 Weehawken.
Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or electric car in Weehawken?
Every AWD and every electric car in Weehawken 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 Weehawken.
Which shops do you tow to from Weehawken?
Anywhere you choose: your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway, in Weehawken or beyond. Never a storage yard we picked. Destinations outside the 45-minute area are quoted per mile.
My car is in a parking garage or a tight lot in Weehawken. Can you get it?
Yes. Street parking on the cliff-top blocks with resident permits, and tower garages on the waterfront with clearance too low for a flatbed; waterfront cars come out to Port Imperial Boulevard on a dolly. Since a flatbed will not fit under most decks, the driver rolls the car to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loads it in the open. Give the dispatcher the name of the place and the level.
Is there room for me in the cab on a tow from Weehawken?
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.
Do you require a roadside plan or insurance in Weehawken?
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.
What if my car in Weehawken just needs a jump, a tire or a lockout?
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 Weehawken.
A rotation tow is on its way to my crash in Weehawken. Can I use you instead?
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 Weehawken.
Are you open overnight and on holidays in Weehawken?
Yes. The dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and a tow in Weehawken at 3 a.m. on a holiday is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.
What other towns around Weehawken do you serve?
Union City, West New York, Hoboken, North Bergen and Guttenberg, plus every town within 45 minutes of Linden in Hudson County and eight other counties, each with a page of its own.
