Towing in Edison, Metuchen and Piscataway, NJ: Route 1, I-287 and the middle of Middlesex County

Route 1 in Edison is lined with dealers, shopping centers and restaurants, with Menlo Park Mall at the Parsonage Road end. Fender-benders in the jughandles and dead cars in the lots are daily calls.

Give the direction and the closest business so the truck comes in on the right side of the divider. Local dealers and repair shops are usually a short, cheap tow away.

Raritan Center is a large business park off Woodbridge Avenue near Turnpike Exit 10, home to warehouses, trucking terminals and the NJ Convention and Exposition Center. Box trucks, tractors and event traffic all pass through.

Heavy-duty units handle the rigs, and flatbeds handle exhibitors' and visitors' cars. I-287 starts right here at Exit 10, so this is also where many northbound breakdowns begin.

Metuchen's Main Street and station sit on the rail line, with Route 27 running along the Edison border toward Highland Park. Commuter lots here see plenty of dead batteries on cold mornings.

JFK University Medical Center on James Street in Edison is a common destination for people whose car trouble came with an injury. The car can follow to a shop of your choice once you are taken care of.

Piscataway holds Rutgers' Busch and Livingston campuses, the stadium and arena, and a long stretch of I-287 with exits at Stelton Road and River Road. Student cars, game-day traffic and interstate breakdowns keep this area busy.

Tell the dispatcher the campus and the lot, or the I-287 direction and exit number. Piscataway is about twenty-eight minutes from our yard, sooner if a truck is already working Edison.
