Tow truck in Bayway, Elizabeth, NJ: the circle, the refinery corridor and the closest streets to our yard

The circle collects fender-benders at every rush hour and a car that has been hit goes on a flatbed regardless of what it was before. The driver winches it up, photographs it for the adjuster and takes it to the body shop you name, in Elizabeth or Linden.

If the car still moves, get it out of the circle onto Bayway Avenue or a side street first; the tow is the same price and the loading is safer.

Tanker escorts with a flat, box trucks that will not start at a dock, sprinters blocking a gate. Medium and heavy-duty trucks come up from Linden in minutes, move the vehicle first and deliver it second.

Fleets along Bayway Avenue and the corridor get a direct number and one invoice a month, and the 3 a.m. call is answered by a person.

I-278 climbs toward the bridge from here and the merge from Exit 13 backs up every evening. Crashes on the approach are flatbed jobs to the shop you choose. 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.

Row houses and two-family homes with cars on the street and in short driveways. Cold-morning batteries are jumps first; front-wheel-drive commuters going to a shop in Linden ride a wheel-lift; the all-wheel-drive and lowered cars ride a flatbed.

From here our yard is the shortest run any truck on this site makes, and the miles on a tow to a Linden or Elizabeth shop are few.
