Towing company near me in Jersey City, NJ: where our trucks actually go, neighborhood by neighborhood
Typing towing company near me from somewhere in Jersey City? Below is the ground our fleet works, laid out the way the dispatcher thinks about it: which ramp brings the truck in, which neighborhood it lands in, and which of the seven towns on the border it can carry the car to for a few miles more.
Our towing company across Jersey City: six areas, one dispatcher, a different truck and route for each
Nothing about the company, the fee or the person answering changes between Newport and the Bayonne line; what our drivers adjust from one area of Jersey City to the next is the truck they bring and the way they get to the car, because a tower garage, a Heights hill, a Route 440 loading bay and a park lot each need something different.
Downtown: Exchange Place, Newport, Paulus Hook, the tunnel approach
The garages are the story here. Clearance bars, dollies, and a curb where the tunnel police let a truck stand: our driver plans a Downtown job from the garage name and the level, then loads on the street.
Journal Square and McGinley Square
Commuter batteries in the Sip Avenue lots, boxed-in cars off Newark Avenue, vans on Bergen Avenue and the campus at Saint Peter's. The jump pack goes in first; the boulevard's bus lanes decide the approach.
The Heights: Central Avenue, Palisade Avenue, the Western Slope
Short curb cuts, steep slope streets and Christ Hospital at shift change. A flatbed backed in with care, a winch when the slope ices, and a driver who phones ahead so the second car can be moved.
Greenville, the West Side and Route 440
Vans and tractors on a monthly statement, dealers by Hudson Mall, Lincoln Park and NJCU. Exit 14A is the first ramp our trucks reach, which makes this the quickest part of Jersey City for everyone who lives here too.
Bergen-Lafayette and the Jersey City Medical Center
The hospital deck, the Garfield Avenue and MLK Drive light rail stops, and rowhouse blocks with no open curb. Batteries at shift change, skates for the boxed-in cars, and a flatbed for anything that sat in water near Berry Lane Park.
Liberty State Park, the marina and Port Liberté
Ferry riders, boat trailers, rentals at the science center and the gated streets at Port Liberté. Exit 14B feeds it all, and on the Extension itself the Authority's rule applies. 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.
Tell the dispatcher a garage, a corner or a light rail stop and she picks the truck and the route.
Call (908) 666-3168Back to Towing Company Jersey CityThree ways a company truck enters Jersey City, and which one the dispatcher picks for your call
From our yard in Linden a truck reaches Jersey City by the Turnpike Extension to Exits 14A, 14B or 14C, by Routes 1 & 9 Truck and Tonnelle Avenue to the Heights and Journal Square, or, when a truck is already in the city, by JFK Boulevard or Communipaw Avenue from wherever it last dropped a car.
The honest number is about 28 minutes from the yard on a clear Turnpike, and the dispatcher will say it rather than promise less. Most days a company truck is already somewhere in Hudson County, and that is the truck she quotes from.
The Extension: 14A, 14B, 14C
Turnpike north to Exit 14, over the Newark Bay Bridge, then 14A for Greenville and Route 440, 14B for the park, Bergen-Lafayette and the Medical Center, 14C for Downtown and the tunnel. The Extension's own shoulder is the Authority's ground; the ramps and everything past them are ours.
Routes 1 & 9 Truck and Tonnelle Avenue
Over the Hackensack from Kearny, through the Tonnelle Circle and along the foot of the Palisades. This is the road to the Heights, Journal Square and the West Side's northern end, and the one our drivers take when the Extension is stopped.
Inside the city: JFK Boulevard and Communipaw
A truck that just dropped a car at a Route 440 dealer or a Communipaw garage does not go back to Linden before the next job. JFK Boulevard runs the length of the city and Communipaw crosses it, and the dispatcher sends that truck up whichever one is moving.
What to say when you call from a road
The road, the direction, the last exit or cross street, and whether the car can still be moved out of the lane. On the Skyway or the lower deck of Route 139 there is nowhere to stop, so if the car rolls, get to the circle or a Downtown street first and then call.
Wherever the truck comes from, the fee and the company are the same. Call and hear which route and how long.
Call dispatchSeven towns border Jersey City, and a tow to any of them is a few miles on the same company truck
Hoboken, Bayonne, Kearny, Secaucus, North Bergen, Union City and Newark each touch Jersey City, and a car going from one of them to a Jersey City garage, or the other way, is the ordinary $149 booking fee plus a short mileage figure quoted on the call.
Hoboken
Reached from Newport along Observer Highway or from the Heights down the 9th Street side. The same clearance bars under the same kind of towers, and Washington Street's one-ways.
Bayonne
Straight down Route 440, JFK Boulevard or Avenue C from Greenville. Broadway's tire shops and body shops receive a good share of our Greenville tows.
Kearny
Across the Hackensack on Routes 1 & 9 Truck. Where more of our crashed Jersey City cars end up than anywhere else, because that is where the body shops are.
Secaucus
North on Routes 1 & 9 and County Avenue to the Meadowlands warehouses and the Junction lots. Fleet calls more than family cars.
North Bergen
Up Tonnelle Avenue and JFK Boulevard from the Heights. Dealers and garages on Tonnelle, and the Kennedy Boulevard storefronts.
Union City
Straight up Palisade Avenue or Summit Avenue from the Heights. Bergenline's shops and side streets steeper than anything in Jersey City.
Newark
The Skyway or the Turnpike back toward our yard. Newark garages, the Ironbound and Newark Airport are all a local tow from Jersey City.
Past those seven towns the job becomes a long distance tow: one company flatbed, one price, tolls included, whether the car is going to the shore, upstate or across a state line.
In Jersey City or just over its line, the same dispatcher answers and the same fee applies.
Call (908) 666-3168Contact dispatchService area: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is a truck from your company near me in Jersey City right now?
Often, because the fleet works Hudson County every day, but the dispatcher does not guess. She reads the arrival time from the nearest truck's actual position, and if that truck is at the yard she says 28 minutes.
Which neighborhood gets your truck soonest?
Greenville and Route 440, one ramp off the Extension at 14A. The Heights and Journal Square are the longest drive from Linden, though a truck already in the city usually beats one leaving the yard.
Do you carry cars between Jersey City and Hoboken, Bayonne or Kearny?
Every week. All seven bordering towns are the same booking fee plus a short mileage figure, on the same company truck.
Can your truck reach the PATH and light rail lots?
Yes: the Journal Square and Sip Avenue lots, the garages around Exchange Place, Newport and Grove Street, and the light rail stops from West Side Avenue to Liberty State Park. Most of those calls end as a jump.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
