Towing company Elizabeth NJ: our trucks, our drivers
Licensed & insured towing company · $149 flat booking fee · $129 online · fleet accounts
Elizabeth is the first city our trucks reach when they leave the yard. Call and a dispatcher who works for the company answers, looks at where our trucks are right now, and sends one of ours with the price already agreed.

The whole towing company in Elizabeth, NJ, laid out on one page
What separates a towing company in Elizabeth from the pages that only look like one
Towing Company Elizabeth NJ is a NJ towing services provider with its own fleet in a yard ten minutes from Elizabeth, its own drivers, its own dispatcher and its own license and insurance, and that is the whole difference between a company and a phone number that forwards to somebody else's truck.
Search for a towing company in Elizabeth, NJ and the results are crowded with pages that own nothing. No truck, no driver, no yard, just a number that sells your call to whoever picks up first.
We built this site because the honest answer to that search is short: the trucks are in Linden, the drivers clock in there, and the dispatcher at (908) 666-3168 can see both. Prefer to skip the phone? Book online and the booking fee drops from $149 to $129.
A yard ten minutes down Routes 1 & 9, not a call center in another state
Drivers who tow Elizabeth on every shift
A rotation truck or a broker's contractor may never have loaded a car on Third Avenue or in the Kapkowski Road lots. Ours have, this week. They know which Elizabethport blocks hold water, which Broad Street garages have low ceilings, and which port gates want a truck at the security booth first.
The paperwork behind the truck
The trucks are licensed, the company is insured, and the driver photographs your car before it goes on and after it comes off. That is not decoration. It is what lets a company stand behind a job a week later instead of shrugging.
One price list because there is only one company
A broker's price depends on which truck it found. Ours is the same from every truck in the yard: $149 booking fee by phone, $129 online, mileage read to you before dispatch. Nobody at the curb gets to add a number the dispatcher did not say.
Not sure we are real? Ask the dispatcher where the yard is and who is driving. The answer is the same at any hour.
Call (908) 666-3168Where our trucks workHow a call moves through Towing Company Elizabeth NJ, from the first ring to the receipt
A call to our Elizabeth number lands with a company dispatcher, is assigned to a named company truck from the dispatcher's screen, is worked by a company driver who photographs and receipts the job, and is filed in our office the same day so the question you ask next week has an answer.
There are four people between your breakdown and your receipt, and every one of them draws a paycheck from the same company. That is the sentence a lead site cannot say.
Here is what each of them does when the phone rings from Elizabeth Avenue, the Mills, a port gate or a driveway in Elmora.
The dispatcher's screen
The dispatcher takes the location, the vehicle, the problem and the destination, then looks at a map showing every company truck. The nearest truck that fits the job is assigned by name, and you hear which one and roughly when.
The quote is read to you from the fleet's one price list before anything is assigned. A jump, a tire or a lockout gets sent instead of a tow whenever that will fix it.
The driver's job sheet
The driver gets the same details the dispatcher wrote down, so you do not repeat yourself at the curb. He calls when he is a few minutes out, photographs the car before loading, and calls again if anything on the ground differs from the sheet.
At the destination he photographs the car again and hands over an itemized receipt carrying the company name and the number you dialed. You can ride in the cab at no charge.
The office the next morning
Photos, the signed receipt and the driver's notes are filed against the job. A shop or fleet account gets the job added to its monthly invoice instead of a card charge.
If an insurer, a roadside plan or a customer calls about the tow later, the file is there. That is what licensing and insurance mean in practice: a company that can answer for its work.
Comparing towing companies in Elizabeth? Ask each one who owns the truck, who employs the driver, who answers the phone at 4 a.m., and whose name will be on the receipt. If any of those four answers is somebody else, it is not a company, it is a referral.
Four people, one company, one number. That is what you reach when you dial.
Call the dispatcherEmergency towing in Elizabeth from a company that already knows where its trucks are
When you are in a live lane on Routes 1 & 9, sitting on the Goethals approach, in water in Elizabethport or blocking a port gate, our dispatcher confirms you are safe, assigns the closest company truck while you are still on the line, and charges the same $149 booking fee she would on a quiet Sunday.
Emergencies are where a broker's model breaks. While a middleman is phoning around for a truck, you are standing next to a car on North Avenue with trailers going past.
Our dispatcher does not phone around. She looks at the screen, picks the truck, and tells you where to stand until it arrives.
Collision on Routes 1 & 9, Bayway Circle or North Avenue East
Elizabeth's busiest crash ground is the stretch of Routes 1 & 9 between the Linden line and the airport, plus the merges at Bayway Circle and the port road. Call us before a rotation truck is waved in and the car goes to the body shop you pick, not a yard that bills by the day. The driver photographs the damage for your adjuster.
Stalled in a lane on Route 27, Elizabeth Avenue or Morris Avenue
Broad Street, Rahway Avenue and Elizabeth Avenue have curb parking on both sides and no room to be dead in the lane. If the car rolls, get it to a side street or a lot entrance. If it does not, hazards on and wait on the sidewalk; the truck comes in with the light bar on and blocks the lane for you.
Water in Elizabethport, ice on the Elmora hills
The low blocks near the Arthur Kill and the Elizabeth River pool after a hard rain. Do not try to restart a car that took water; it goes on a flatbed with the key left alone. On the first freeze the streets climbing toward Elmora and the Warinanco Park side catch slide-offs, and those are a winch before they are a tow.
A truck dead at a port gate, a van across a Peterstown driveway
A tractor that will not move at a McLester Street gate is an emergency for every truck behind it. So is the bakery van dead across a neighbor's driveway on Second Avenue. We clear the vehicle first and sort out the destination once the lane is open; fleet calls go straight to the account manager.
Say the word emergency and the nearest company truck is assigned before you hang up. The fee does not move.
Emergency dispatchStep by stepEverything our towing company handles in Elizabeth, on our own trucks
One Linden yard supplies local and emergency towing, flatbed and wheel-lift work, accident and collision tows, port and fleet towing on medium and heavy-duty trucks, long-distance and motorcycle transport, winch-outs, and the roadside calls that make a tow unnecessary: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel.
Local towing
Elmora driveway to a Morris Avenue garage, a dealer swap on Routes 1 & 9, a dead car from the Broad Street decks to your mechanic. Booking fee plus a few miles, scheduled or straight away.
Emergency towing
Live lane, collision, water, a gate blocked at the port. The closest company truck is assigned on the call, at the same flat booking fee as any other hour.
Flatbed towing
AWD, electric, luxury, lowered, motorcycles and anything that has been in a crash. All four wheels ride on the deck, strapped at the tires, by a driver who does it daily.
Accident towing
Winched out, photographed for the claim, delivered to the body shop you name. Our company and our driver, not the rotation yard's.
Port, fleet and commercial
Tractors, chassis, box trucks, sprinters and staff cars at the Port of Elizabeth and along North Avenue East. A named account manager and one invoice a month.
Jump, tire, lockout, fuel
One flat price each and no mileage, done by the same drivers. The Mills lots, Trinitas decks, station parking, the Bayway pumps that were closed.
Winch out and recovery
Nose in the grass off the Goethals ramp, stuck on a flooded Elizabethport block, sideways on an icy Elmora street. Pulled back to pavement; if it drives, that is the whole bill.
Long distance towing
Elizabeth to the shore, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania or a buyer out of state. One company flatbed, one quoted price with tolls included.
Longer pages exist for the big jobs: emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, heavy duty towing and roadside assistance. You do not have to choose the right one. Describe what happened and the dispatcher chooses the truck.
Cannot tell whether it is a jump or a tow? Say what the car did. The smaller job is tried first.
Call (908) 666-3168Book online · $20 offOne towing company for all of Elizabeth, sorted by who calls us from each part of the city
The company, the trucks and the $149 booking fee are the same from Elizabethport to Elmora; what changes is who is calling, which truck the dispatcher assigns, and how the driver gets to the block.
We think about Elizabeth by customer rather than by street, because the customer tells the dispatcher which truck to send. The six pages below are organised that way.
Port fleets on McLester Street and North Avenue East
Drayage tractors, chassis, box trucks and the staff cars parked along the terminal roads. Medium and heavy-duty trucks from the same fleet, a driver who checks in at the booth, and an account manager who sends one invoice a month.
Shoppers and workers at the Mills and IKEA
Cars that will not start after four hours in the Kapkowski Road lots, lockouts at the IKEA loading doors, and the hotels beside Exit 13A. Give the lot letter and the entrance, and our driver brings the jump pack before he brings the hook.
Commuters at Elizabeth station and the Broad Street downtown
Cars that sat all day near the station or in a garage off Broad Street, the courthouse and city hall lots, and the one-way blocks around Union Square. Our driver knows which decks keep a flatbed on the street and brings the car out on dollies.
Hospital staff at Trinitas and families in Elmora
Shift-change batteries in the Williamson Street lots, SUVs in Elmora driveways, the shops on Morris and Westfield Avenues, and the Parkway line at Exits 137 through 140. Jump packs first, flatbeds for the all-wheel drives.
Restaurants and bakeries in Peterstown, the Burg
Delivery vans dead before the morning run, kitchen staff cars that will not start at closing, and the tight curbs of Third and Second Avenues. A wheel-lift with skates and a driver who enters from the side street.
Trucks and commuters on the Bayway and refinery corridor
Tankers and box trucks on Bayway Avenue, cars off the Goethals approach, and the Turnpike's Exit 13 ramps. Our nearest work in Elizabeth: the yard is minutes from Bayway Circle. 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.
All six, plus Newark, Linden, Hillside, Union, Roselle, Roselle Park and Kenilworth, are on the service-area page.
Call (908) 666-3168Full Elizabeth service areaWhere our trucks get called on Elizabeth's roads: Routes 1 & 9, Route 27, the Goethals approach and Turnpike Exits 13 and 13A
Our company dispatches straight to Routes 1 & 9, Route 27, North Avenue, Morris Avenue, Elizabeth Avenue, Bayway Avenue, the I-278 approach to the Goethals Bridge and every Elizabeth street; Turnpike and Parkway shoulders belong to the Authority's authorized garages, and we pick the car up from the exit or the garage's lot.
NJ Turnpike Exits 13 and 13A
Two interchanges a mile apart: 13 for the Goethals Bridge and the Bayway side, 13A for the seaport, the Mills and the airport. Together they see more dead cars than anywhere else in Union County. 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. Line up that second leg with our dispatcher while the first is under way, and the car is not left overnight in the garage's lot.
Routes 1 & 9 from the Linden line to the airport
Our home road. It leaves the yard, passes Bayway Circle, the Elizabeth Avenue and North Avenue lights, and runs into the airport's south edge. Narrow shoulders, jughandles and heavy truck traffic, so most calls here are tires, rear-end collisions and cars that overheated in the crawl.
I-278 and the Goethals Bridge approach
The ramps between Routes 1 & 9, the Turnpike and the bridge are tight and fast. A car that quits on the New Jersey side of the approach is a direct dispatch for us; tell the dispatcher which direction and which ramp. The bridge deck itself and the Staten Island side are a different authority, and she will say so.
Route 27: Rahway Avenue, Broad Street, Newark Avenue
The road that ties Linden to Elizabeth to Newark through Midtown. Buses, double parking, the courthouse and station traffic, and a river crossing. Give the nearest cross street and which direction you were headed; the driver comes in from the side that lets him load without blocking Broad.
North Avenue, Morris Avenue, Westfield Avenue and the Parkway line
The three avenues carry Elizabeth's west side traffic out toward Kean, Roselle Park and the Garden State Parkway at Exits 137 to 140. Direct dispatch on all three avenues and the streets between them. 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.
Elizabeth Avenue, Bayway Avenue and Elmora Avenue
Elizabeth's own arteries: Elizabeth Avenue from Midtown to the Port, Bayway Avenue from the Circle to the refinery gates, Elmora Avenue up through the shops. Curb parking, bus stops and delivery trucks decide how the truck reaches you. Say the block and the side.
Stuck on one of these roads now? Hazards on, behind the barrier, phone in hand. The dispatcher tells you what happens next.
Call from the roadWhat a towing company charges in Elizabeth when it owns the trucks: $149 by phone, $129 online, mileage first
Our company charges $149 to book a tow in Elizabeth by phone and $129 to book it online, adds a per-mile figure to whatever address you give that is spoken aloud before dispatch, prices each roadside job as one flat amount, and adds nothing at all for the hour, the day, fuel, a passenger or storage.
Owning the trucks changes the arithmetic. There is no contractor taking a cut, so the fee can stay flat and printed, and the driver has no reason to invent a number at the curb.
The mileage is the only moving part. It runs from where the car sits to where you want it, so the dispatcher asks the destination before she quotes, and you can change it on the call.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
The three things that move the number
Distance: a garage on Morris Avenue is a few miles, a dealer in Bergen County is a different bill. Vehicle: an EV or an all-wheel drive rides a flatbed, which costs more to run than a wheel-lift under a front-wheel-drive sedan. Condition: a car that rolls and steers loads in minutes; one that took water or a hit may need a winch or dollies, quoted before the driver touches it.
The lines you will never find on our receipt
No after-hours rate. No weekend or holiday rate. No fuel surcharge on top of the miles.
No fee for the passenger in the cab. No storage on a car delivered where you said. No release fee, because there is no lot to release it from.
Every line is on the prices page.
Ask for the total. It costs nothing, it does not change by truck, and it is the same at midnight.

What Elizabeth drivers want to know about a towing company before they let it touch the car
In short: the trucks are ours, the drivers are ours, we are licensed and insured, the price is read to you before dispatch, fleets get one invoice, and nobody needs a membership.
Is this a real towing company in Elizabeth or another site that forwards my call?
A real one. The trucks are parked in our yard in Linden, ten minutes from Elizabeth, the drivers work for us, and the dispatcher at (908) 666-3168 is a company employee looking at a map of our own fleet. Your call is never passed to a third party.
Where exactly is your towing company based, and how far is that from Elizabeth?
Linden, NJ, the next town south on Routes 1 & 9 and Rahway Avenue. Bayway Circle is a few minutes from the yard, Midtown about ten, the port and the Mills a little more. We have no walk-in office in Elizabeth because the truck comes to you.
What license and insurance does your company carry?
The trucks are licensed to tow in New Jersey and the company carries insurance for the vehicles it hauls. Every car is photographed before it is loaded and again after it comes off, so a claim, if there ever is one, is settled by the company against a record.
How much does a tow in Elizabeth cost with your company?
A flat $149 booking fee for dispatch and hook-up, or $129 if you book online, plus mileage to the destination you choose, quoted before the truck leaves. Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel are one flat price each. The prices page shows the full list.
Who actually shows up when I call?
Someone on our payroll, in a truck we own, with our name painted on the door. You hear from the dispatcher which truck is coming, then from the driver twice: once a few minutes out, once when he has you in sight.
How long until a truck reaches me in Elizabeth?
From the yard, Bayway and the Circle are a few minutes and Midtown about ten. Most of the day a truck is already working the port, the Mills or Routes 1 & 9, and the dispatcher quotes your arrival window from that truck's real position.
Do you tow at the Port of Elizabeth, and can you handle a tractor or a chassis?
Yes. Medium and heavy-duty trucks are part of the same company fleet and go through the same dispatcher. Our driver checks in at the terminal booth once you have called, and fleet operators on North Avenue East and McLester Street get one invoice a month.
My car will not start in the Jersey Gardens parking lot. Is that a tow?
Usually not. Four hours of shopping with the lights on is a battery, and our driver brings a jump pack before anything else, at one flat price. If the battery will not hold, the tow is added right there at the flat booking fee with no second callout.
Something not covered? Ask the dispatcher. She has probably answered it this week.
Call (908) 666-3168The full FAQ pageTyping "towing company near me" in Elizabeth? Here is what near actually means when the company owns the trucks
The nearest towing company to you in Elizabeth is one with a truck already in the city and a dispatcher who can see it; ours run Elizabeth around the clock from a yard ten minutes away, and the arrival window you hear comes from the closest truck's real position.
"Towing company near me" is really three questions: who is closest, who is real, and what will it cost. A broker answers the first with whoever bids and the other two with a guess.
We answer all three from a screen: the truck, the driver's name, and the fleet's one price list.
Near Bayway, the Circle and the Linden line
The shortest run we have anywhere. Bayway Avenue, the refinery gates and the Routes 1 & 9 lights by the Circle are minutes from the yard door, and a company truck passes through most hours.
Near the port, the Mills and Exit 13A
North Avenue East and Kapkowski Road are straight up Routes 1 & 9 from Linden. A truck is often already working a terminal gate or a mall lot when the call comes in, which is why the dispatcher quotes from where it is rather than from the yard.
Near Midtown, the station and Trinitas
Broad Street, the station, the courthouse and the Williamson Street lots sit in the middle of the city. Rahway Avenue brings the truck in from the south; say the block and the side of the street, or the garage and the level.
Near Elmora, Westminster and the Union line
The far edge of Elizabeth from the yard, up Morris and Westfield Avenues toward Kean and the Parkway. Still a short drive, and a truck finishing a job in Midtown is usually closer than one leaving Linden.
The nearest company truck to you in Elizabeth is one call away, and the dispatcher can tell you the minutes.

Call nowBook onlineWhy a towing company in Elizabeth should have a yard you could drive to and a phone you could call twice
Ours has both: a yard in Linden ten minutes down Routes 1 & 9, trucks with our name on the door, and a dispatcher at {{phone}} who will be the same dispatcher when you call back about the receipt.
Elizabeth sits between a container port, a refinery, an outlet mall and two Turnpike interchanges, and each of them generates towing calls that a lead site is happy to sell on. We would rather you knew exactly who was coming. Book online and the booking fee is $129 instead of $149; the service area shows how our drivers work Elizabethport, Elmora, Peterstown and the Bayway corridor; the prices page lists every number we are allowed to charge.
