Towing in Perth Amboy, South Amboy and Sayreville, NJ: the bridges at the mouth of the Raritan

Perth Amboy is an old port city with a busy downtown around Smith Street and State Street, a waterfront along the bay and Route 440 climbing toward the Outerbridge Crossing to Staten Island.

Calls here range from dead cars on narrow downtown blocks to tractors headed for the terminals along the Arthur Kill. Raritan Bay Medical Center is a frequent landmark callers use to describe where they are.

The Victory Bridge carries Route 35 across the Raritan between Perth Amboy and Sayreville. There is little room to stop on it, so a stalled car is a real hazard for the driver and everyone behind.

Stay in the car with your belt on if you cannot reach a safe spot, put the hazards on and call. Tell the dispatcher which direction you were heading so the truck approaches from the correct end.

The Garden State Parkway crosses the Raritan on the Driscoll Bridge, one of the busiest bridges in the state. 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.

Once the car is off the Parkway at a Sayreville or Woodbridge exit, our truck takes it to the shop, dealer or driveway you name.

Route 9 runs through Sayreville from the river south toward Old Bridge, lined with car dealers, shopping centers and tire shops. South Amboy sits on the bay beside it, with its station and ferry landing.

Most calls here are straightforward local tows, often to one of the Route 9 shops a few minutes from the pickup. The mileage for those short trips is quoted on the call.
