A tow truck near you in Woodbridge: dispatched from Linden, 12 minutes away, around the clock
From Linden, about 12 minutes away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Woodbridge 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
Woodbridge is about 12 minutes from our Linden yard, which puts it in our fastest response zone. The biggest township in the county, really ten towns under one name: Woodbridge proper around Main Street and the station, Iselin, Colonia, Avenel, Fords, Port Reading, Sewaren, Hopelawn and Keasbey. Every major highway in central Jersey crosses it, which makes it the single busiest towing area outside Linden itself. Commuter sedans, family SUVs and Route 1 shopping traffic on one side; warehouse trucks and refinery-road rigs on the other.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Woodbridge, this is the page that answers: what we tow here, which roads we run to reach you, how the parking and the streets change the job, and what it costs. If you are stuck right now, skip all of it and call (908) 444-0129. A dispatcher answers 24 hours a day and quotes a flat price before the truck leaves Linden.
Why a Linden-based tow truck reaches Woodbridge 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. Woodbridge is about 12 minutes out by NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Routes 1 & 9, and the dispatcher builds your arrival window from where the nearest available truck actually is, not from a slogan. Rush hour and storms stretch it, and you are told so on the call.
Loading a car on Woodbridge streets, driveways and lots
Driveways and street parking in the residential sections, huge open lots at Woodbridge Center and along Route 1. The Woodbridge station lot and Main Street's angled parking are where lockouts and dead batteries cluster. The dispatcher asks about it on the call so the truck is positioned right the first time instead of blocking a Woodbridge street while the driver works out an approach.
Breakdowns in Woodbridge: where they happen
The calls cluster where the cars are: Woodbridge Center mall, Woodbridge Main Street and the town hall, Turnpike / Parkway / Route 9 interchange, Woodbridge Community Center and Keasbey and Hopelawn industrial waterfront, and the lots at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots and Avenel and Metropark stations serve the township's north. A jump start or a lockout fixes half of them on the spot; the rest are tows to the shop the Woodbridge driver chooses.
What a tow in Woodbridge costs and why you hear it first
A tow in Woodbridge 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.

NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Routes 1 & 9 carry our trucks from Linden into Woodbridge, with NJ Turnpike Exit 11 and Garden State Parkway Exits 127, 129, 130, 131 as the ramps we use, and we answer breakdowns on all of them; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Woodbridge by its roads: NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Routes 1 & 9 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.
A breakdown on NJ Turnpike by Woodbridge: who tows from the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
Exit 11 and the Woodbridge interchange with the Parkway; the merge onto 440 and the Outerbridge approach are constant collision and breakdown spots. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Broke down on Garden State Parkway near Woodbridge: how the handoff works
Exits 127 through 131 run through the township; the Route 9 and Route 1 interchanges back up daily. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Towing on Routes 1 & 9 in Woodbridge
The Woodbridge Center strip; parking-lot lockouts and dead batteries, plus rear-end crashes at every light. If you are on a shoulder of Routes 1 & 9, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Tow truck response on Route 9, Woodbridge
Splits south toward Sayreville and the Driscoll Bridge; long stretches with narrow shoulders. If you are on a shoulder of Route 9, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Tow truck response on Route 35, Woodbridge

Route 440 breakdowns and tows in Woodbridge
Turnpike-to-Outerbridge connector; fast traffic, a bad place to sit with a flat. A breakdown on Route 440 is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Woodbridge: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Highway exits that serve Woodbridge
Our drivers reach Woodbridge by NJ Turnpike Exit 11 and Garden State Parkway Exits 127, 129, 130, 131. On the highway, the nearest exit number and your direction are what the dispatcher needs first. 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.

Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEight towing services dispatched to Woodbridge: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
From Linden to Woodbridge, 24/7, we dispatch every towing service we offer, emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out, and each one is written up for Woodbridge on the page linked below.
The word "towing" covers eight different jobs in Woodbridge, and the dispatcher sorts them from what you say: a car that will not start at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots is an emergency tow, an AWD or an EV is a flatbed, a crash on NJ Turnpike is an accident tow, a car in a ditch is a winch-out. Each has a page written for Woodbridge.
Emergency Towing in Woodbridge
The call that comes in most from Woodbridge: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On Routes 1 & 9, on Route 9, in a driveway or a lot at Woodbridge Center mall, 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 Woodbridge.
Flatbed Towing in Woodbridge
Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge.
Accident Towing in Woodbridge
Collisions at the lights on Routes 1 & 9 and Route 9 are a daily Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge.
Local Towing for Woodbridge drivers
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Woodbridge or in Carteret, 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 Woodbridge.
Woodbridge long distance towing
A car that has to go a long way from Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge.
Woodbridge motorcycle towing
Bikes from Woodbridge ride upright on the flatbed in a locking front-wheel chock with soft-loop straps, never a sling. Breakdowns on Routes 1 & 9, a bike that sat all winter and will not turn over, or a crash recovery with photos for insurance. See motorcycle towing in Woodbridge.
Heavy Duty Towing for Woodbridge drivers
A box truck stalled near Woodbridge Center mall, a landscaping rig with a trailer on Route 9, a bus or a tractor working Woodbridge: each needs a truck rated for its weight, and the dispatcher picks it from the GVWR you give. Whether it is loaded and whether it rolls decides the rigging. Fleets get one monthly invoice. See heavy duty towing in Woodbridge.
Woodbridge winch out
Route 1 underpasses and the low ground near the Woodbridge River flood; the Parkway ramps at Exit 130 ice early. 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 Woodbridge.
Not sure which one you need in Woodbridge? Describe what happened and the dispatcher decides, then quotes it.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside help in Woodbridge without a membership: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery
For a dead battery, a flat, keys locked inside or an empty tank anywhere in Woodbridge, a technician comes to the car at one flat price per service, and if it turns out to need a tow the flatbed is sent from the same call.
Most Woodbridge breakdowns are not tows. A battery that died in the lot at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots, a flat on Garden State Parkway, keys locked in the car at Woodbridge Main Street and the town hall, an empty tank on NJ Turnpike: each is fixed on the spot by a tech with the right tool, and you drive away.
Roadside Assistance for Woodbridge drivers
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Woodbridge at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots keep us busy with dead batteries. Woodbridge Main Street and the town hall keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Woodbridge.
Woodbridge jump start
The jump-start call from Woodbridge is usually a car that clicks and does nothing, often at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots after a day in the lot. The technician starts it from a commercial pack, then load-tests the battery and checks the alternator so you know whether the fix will last past the next stop. See jump start in Woodbridge.
Flat Tire Change in Woodbridge
A flat on a Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge.
Car Lockout in Woodbridge
Damage-free lockouts anywhere in Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge.
Fuel Delivery in Woodbridge
Fuel delivery to any road or driveway in Woodbridge at a flat delivery price plus the fuel. If the car will not restart afterward, the tow is quoted on the spot. See fuel delivery in Woodbridge.
A jump, a spare, an unlocked door or a few gallons of gas in Woodbridge: one call, one flat price, no plan to join.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in WoodbridgeTowing in every Woodbridge neighborhood: Colonia, Avenel, Fords and Port Reading and more
Colonia, Avenel, Fords, Port Reading, Sewaren, Hopelawn, Keasbey, Woodbridge proper and Iselin: every section of Woodbridge gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Woodbridge is not one kind of street. Driveways and street parking in the residential sections, huge open lots at Woodbridge Center and along Route 1. The Woodbridge station lot and Main Street's angled parking are where lockouts and dead batteries cluster. The sections below are the parts of town our drivers know by name, and what changes about a tow in each.
Towing and roadside help in Colonia
Colonia gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Woodbridge: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 12 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Colonia and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Avenel: what a tow looks like here
Calls from Avenel are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Woodbridge: 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 Avenel; it is faster than a house number on a long Woodbridge block.
Fords: what a tow looks like here
Calls from Fords are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Woodbridge: 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 Fords; it is faster than a house number on a long Woodbridge block.
Towing and roadside help in Port Reading
Calls from Port Reading are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Woodbridge: 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 Port Reading; it is faster than a house number on a long Woodbridge block.
Tow truck in Sewaren, Woodbridge
Sewaren gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Woodbridge: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 12 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Sewaren and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Hopelawn: what a tow looks like here
Hopelawn gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Woodbridge: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 12 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Hopelawn and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Towing and roadside help in Keasbey
Whether the car is in Keasbey 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. Keasbey matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Woodbridge proper: what a tow looks like here
In Woodbridge proper the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Woodbridge proper 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 Woodbridge proper as in the rest of Woodbridge: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Colonia or the far side of Woodbridge: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWoodbridge Main Street and the town hall, Turnpike / Parkway / Route 9 interchange and Woodbridge Community Center: the Woodbridge spots our trucks are sent to most
In Woodbridge the pickups cluster at Woodbridge Main Street and the town hall, Turnpike / Parkway / Route 9 interchange, Woodbridge Community Center, Keasbey and Hopelawn industrial waterfront and Merrill Park and the lots at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots and Avenel and Metropark stations serve the township's north; whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in about 12 minutes.
Towing at Woodbridge Main Street and the town hall
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Woodbridge Main Street and the town hall gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Woodbridge.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Turnpike / Parkway / Route 9 interchange
We reach Turnpike / Parkway / Route 9 interchange in about 12 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Turnpike / Parkway / Route 9 interchange 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 Turnpike / Parkway / Route 9 interchange the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Towing at Woodbridge Community Center
We reach Woodbridge Community Center in about 12 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Woodbridge Community Center 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 Woodbridge Community Center the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Towing at Keasbey and Hopelawn industrial waterfront
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Keasbey and Hopelawn industrial waterfront gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Woodbridge.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Merrill Park
A car that will not start at Merrill Park 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 Merrill Park, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Woodbridge Center mall: tow truck and roadside response
Woodbridge Center mall is one of the places Woodbridge 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.
Jump starts and lockouts at the station lots: Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots and Avenel and Metropark stations serve the township's north
Station lots are where Woodbridge batteries go to die: ten hours parked, a light left on, and a dark walk back to a car that clicks. The tech starts it from a commercial jump pack and tests the battery before leaving so you are not stranded again at the next stop. A key locked in the car on the platform side is opened without scratching a thing. Both are flat-priced; details on jump starts in Woodbridge and car lockouts in Woodbridge.
Stuck at Woodbridge Main Street and the town hall 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 WoodbridgeWhat a good towing company in Woodbridge does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
A towing company in Woodbridge worth calling quotes the full price before dispatch, gives an honest arrival window, lets you choose where the car goes, hands you an itemized receipt, and never shows up uninvited on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9.
Nobody in Woodbridge shops for a tow company on a good day; the search happens on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9 with the hazards on. These five checks fit in the first minute of any call, ours included.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
Nothing about the price of a tow needs to wait for the driver: the truck the car needs and the miles to the destination are both known on the phone. When a company answers "the driver will tell you," the number arrives once the car is already on the deck and your leverage is gone. Our dispatcher quotes hook plus mileage for a tow or one flat price for a roadside job, and the receipt repeats it. See the pricing section for how it is built.
Ask where the truck is coming from and when it will arrive
A call center that answers "twenty minutes" is quoting a subcontractor it has not spoken to yet. Our trucks are dispatched from Linden, 12 minutes from Woodbridge 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 Routes 1 & 9 that includes the bad news. The roads section is built on that same real distance.
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 Woodbridge 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 Routes 1 & 9 or the highways around Woodbridge 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.
Insist on an itemized receipt
Hook fee, mileage, addresses, time, plate. That is what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan needs to reimburse you, and it is what you need if anything is questioned later. We send it by text or email at the drop. Questions afterward go to the same dispatch line at (908) 444-0129, not a billing office. More on contacting dispatch.
Ask us the five questions. The answers are on this page, and they are the same on the phone.
Call and askService areaHow much a tow costs in Woodbridge, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
A tow in Woodbridge is a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted on the call; roadside services are one flat price each; there are no night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges.
The two numbers in a Woodbridge tow
The hook fee covers dispatch, loading and the driver's time on scene. Mileage is the distance from where the car is in Woodbridge to where you want it. A tow to a shop in Woodbridge itself or in Carteret 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.
Roadside in Woodbridge: a single price for each service
A jump start, a tire change, a lockout, a fuel delivery and a winch-out each have one price that does not change at night, on a Sunday or in a storm. Fuel delivered is added at cost. If a roadside call turns into a tow, you pay the tow, not the tow plus a second callout.
What is never on a Woodbridge towing bill
The list of things we do not charge for in Woodbridge 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.
Payment and reimbursement for a Woodbridge tow
All major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash on site; net terms for fleet accounts. The itemized receipt shows the Woodbridge 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.
Want the number for a tow in Woodbridge before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Woodbridge through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Routes 1 & 9
The trucks run to Woodbridge in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Routes 1 & 9 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Route 1 underpasses and the low ground near the Woodbridge River flood; the Parkway ramps at Exit 130 ice early.
The same trucks serve Woodbridge in every month, but Routes 1 & 9 in January is a different road from Routes 1 & 9 in July. This is how the season changes the towing calls we get from Woodbridge, and how we prepare for each.
Winter in Woodbridge: 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 Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots empties late on winter evenings, and the cars left behind are ours to jump or tow. Say whether the car is behind a plow ridge, on a sloped driveway or on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Spring towing in Woodbridge after the thaw
Spring brings suspension and tire damage from potholes; a car that hit one hard and now pulls or clunks should ride a flatbed rather than be driven. After a hard pothole hit in Woodbridge, 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.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Woodbridge
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 Routes 1 & 9 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Fall towing in Woodbridge: wet leaves, early dark and deer
In the fall the calls shift to deer strikes at dusk and wet-leaf spins on the ramps; both end with a flatbed and a body shop. Wet leaves on the ramps off Routes 1 & 9 are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Woodbridge, not a tow, and is priced that way.
The seasons change the calls from Woodbridge, 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 WoodbridgeWaiting for a tow truck in Woodbridge: what to do on Routes 1 & 9, in the driveway, in a lot and in a garage
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.
On the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9, or the Turnpike and Parkway
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. Exit 11 and the Woodbridge interchange with the Parkway; the merge onto 440 and the Outerbridge approach are constant collision and breakdown spots. Decline any truck you did not call; our driver gives the company name and yours. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
In a Woodbridge driveway or on the street
Driveways and street parking in the residential sections, huge open lots at Woodbridge Center and along Route 1. The Woodbridge station lot and Main Street's angled parking are where lockouts and dead batteries cluster. Move anything the driver will need to get past, unlock the car, and have the key in hand. If the car is on a street with alternate-side rules or a sweeping window, tell the dispatcher; we can move the car before the ticket.
In a parking lot or under a deck in Woodbridge
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
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 Woodbridge: Route 1 underpasses and the low ground near the Woodbridge River flood; the Parkway ramps at Exit 130 ice early.
Safe, visible, reachable: now call. You will hear from the driver before the truck arrives in Woodbridge.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in WoodbridgeWho calls for towing in Woodbridge: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Routes 1 & 9
Towing in Woodbridge serves roughly 103,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots, families in the residential streets, businesses near Woodbridge Center mall, and drivers who only know Woodbridge as an exit on Routes 1 & 9.
The biggest township in the county, really ten towns under one name: Woodbridge proper around Main Street and the station, Iselin, Colonia, Avenel, Fords, Port Reading, Sewaren, Hopelawn and Keasbey. Every major highway in central Jersey crosses it, which makes it the single busiest towing area outside Linden itself. Commuter sedans, family SUVs and Route 1 shopping traffic on one side; warehouse trucks and refinery-road rigs on the other. Those are the drivers of Woodbridge, and each group below calls for towing for its own reasons.
Commuters in Woodbridge and the lot at Woodbridge station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots
A Woodbridge commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on Routes 1 & 9 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.
Families in the residential streets of Woodbridge
The township 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.
Woodbridge businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Woodbridge Center mall cannot sit for a day. A small business in Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Drivers passing through Woodbridge on Routes 1 & 9
Half of the towing calls from Woodbridge are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on Routes 1 & 9 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 Routes 1 & 9: everyone in Woodbridge calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingWoodbridge towing questions, answered before you call
The questions below cover arrival time in Woodbridge, price, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
What is the arrival time for a tow in Woodbridge?
About 12 minutes, off-peak, from Linden to Woodbridge (zone 1, under 20 minutes). When NJ Turnpike 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 Woodbridge?
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 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge?
There is no shop in Woodbridge. We are a mobile service dispatched from Linden, 12 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 Woodbridge?
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 Woodbridge.
Can I choose where my car goes from Woodbridge?
Anywhere you choose: your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop, your driveway, in Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge. Can you get it?
We can. Driveways and street parking in the residential sections, huge open lots at Woodbridge Center and along Route 1. The Woodbridge station lot and Main Street's angled parking are where lockouts and dead batteries cluster. 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 in the tow truck from Woodbridge?
In most cases one person can ride in the cab to the drop-off. Say on the call how many people are with the car in Woodbridge.
Do I need a membership or insurance to call you in Woodbridge?
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 Woodbridge just needs a jump, a tire or a lockout?
Describe the symptom and the dispatcher sends a technician rather than a truck when that is the fix; it is cheaper than a tow and usually ends with you driving away. See roadside assistance in Woodbridge.
Can you take my car from a crash scene in Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge.
Is towing in Woodbridge available at 3 a.m. or on a holiday?
Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the price structure is the same at 3 a.m. on a holiday as on a weekday afternoon.
Do you cover the towns next to Woodbridge too?
Carteret, Rahway, Clark, Edison, Perth Amboy, Sayreville, Avenel and Iselin for a start, and beyond them every town inside 45 minutes of Linden across Middlesex County and eight more counties; every one has its own page.
If your question is missing, call it in. A dispatcher answers it directly and prices the job in the same breath.
