Towing near me in Middlesex County, NJ: six zones, twenty-five towns and honest drive times from Linden
Searching for towing near you somewhere in Middlesex County? This page lays out how we cover the county: six working zones, the highways that connect them, and roughly how long a truck takes to reach each one. It also covers the four counties and the borough across the water that border Middlesex.
Middlesex County towing by zone: the towns, the roads and the drive time for each
The fee, the phone number and the trucks are the same in every zone; what differs is the drive from Linden, which runs from about eight minutes in Carteret to about thirty in Old Bridge, and the kind of call each zone tends to produce.
Woodbridge Township and Carteret
Closest to the yard, about eight to twelve minutes. Iselin, Avenel, Colonia, Fords, Port Reading, Sewaren and Carteret, with Metropark, Woodbridge Center, Turnpike Exits 11 and 12 and Parkway Exits 127 to 131.
Edison, Metuchen and Piscataway
About twenty to twenty-eight minutes. Route 1, Route 27 and I-287, Turnpike Exit 10, Raritan Center, Menlo Park Mall, downtown Metuchen and the Busch and Livingston campuses.
Perth Amboy, South Amboy and Sayreville
About sixteen to twenty-four minutes. Route 35 over the Victory Bridge, Route 9 through Sayreville, the Driscoll Bridge, Route 440 to the Outerbridge and the Arthur Kill terminals.
New Brunswick, Highland Park and North Brunswick
About twenty-seven to thirty minutes. Route 18 along the Raritan, Route 1, Route 27 through Highland Park, the College Avenue and Cook/Douglass campuses and the two big hospitals.
East Brunswick, Old Bridge and Spotswood
About thirty minutes. Route 18 past Brunswick Square mall, Turnpike Exit 9, Route 9 through Old Bridge and County Route 516.
South Plainfield, Middlesex and Dunellen
About twenty-two minutes and up. Route 28, I-287 and the Hadley Road industrial parks along the Somerset and Union borders.
The southern townships, Monroe, Jamesburg, Cranbury, Plainsboro and South Brunswick, are covered too. They are the farthest part of Middlesex from Linden, so the dispatcher gives you a realistic time before anything is booked.
Name the road and a landmark, and the dispatcher tells you which truck is closest.

If the car can still move a little, ease it into a parking lot, a jughandle or a wide shoulder. The price is the same and the truck gets to you more safely. If it cannot move, leave the hazards on, wait behind a barrier and tell the dispatcher the road, the direction and the nearest exit or cross street.
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.

Call from the roadsideThe counties bordering Middlesex County, and how cross-county tows are handled
Middlesex borders Union, Somerset, Monmouth and Mercer counties, and faces Staten Island across the Arthur Kill; a tow that starts in Middlesex and ends in any of them is quoted as the booking fee plus mileage, and farther trips become long-distance runs.
Union County
North of Woodbridge and Carteret, and home to our yard in Linden. Rahway, Clark and Linden shops are among the shortest trips from the north end of Middlesex.
Somerset County
West of Piscataway and South Plainfield along I-287, Route 27 and Route 28. Bound Brook, Franklin and Somerset shops are common destinations from the western edge.
Monmouth County
South of Old Bridge and Sayreville along Route 9, Route 18 and the Parkway. Tows toward Matawan, Marlboro and the shore are quoted by the mile.
Mercer County
Past Plainsboro and Cranbury along Route 1 and the Turnpike toward Princeton and Trenton. The farthest reach of our county coverage, timed honestly on the call.
Staten Island
Across the Outerbridge Crossing from Perth Amboy and the Goethals Bridge from Elizabeth. A destination for tows out of the county, quoted as a longer run.
Crossing a county line does not add a fee; the mileage simply covers the distance. Trips to the shore, New York City, Philadelphia or another state become a long distance tow on one flatbed with the tolls in the quote.

Call (908) 666-3168Contact dispatchService area: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is there a tow truck near me anywhere in Middlesex County?
The dispatcher checks which of our trucks is closest to you, whether that is the yard in Linden or a truck already on a job in the county. You get a realistic arrival window from that truck.
Which part of the county do you reach fastest?
The north end. Carteret and Avenel are about eight minutes from the yard and Woodbridge about twelve. The southern townships take the longest.
Do you cover Monroe, Cranbury and Plainsboro?
Yes. They are the farthest Middlesex towns from Linden, so expect a longer wait unless a truck is already working the south end. The dispatcher tells you before booking.
Can a tow start in Middlesex and end in Somerset or Union County?
Yes. The price is the same booking fee plus mileage to wherever the car is going, quoted on the call.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
