Tow truck near me in Elizabeth, NJ: every neighborhood, the port, the mall and the towns next door
If you are looking for a tow truck near you in Elizabeth, start here. Six neighborhoods, the truck each one tends to need, the roads in from Linden, and the seven towns across the city line that get the same trucks at the same fee.
Tow truck near me by Elizabeth neighborhood: the same fee everywhere, a different truck for each street
From Elizabethport to the Roselle Park line the booking fee is identical; what the dispatcher changes is the truck, a heavy wrecker at the terminal, a wheel-lift with skates on the one-way blocks of the Burg, a flatbed for the all-wheel-drive driveways of Elmora and the decks of Midtown.
Elizabethport, the marine terminal and Jersey Gardens
The east end of the city: First Street and the numbered streets, Kapkowski Road, IKEA, the mall decks and the terminal gates. Up Routes 1 & 9 from Linden with no turns, our shortest trip. Flatbeds for the shoppers, wheel-lifts for the row-house blocks, heavy-duty for the tractors.
Midtown and downtown Broad Street
Broad Street, Jersey Street, the station, the courthouse and Trinitas. Parking decks with ceilings a flatbed cannot clear, bus lanes and one-way blocks. The driver brings the car to the street on a wheel-lift or a set of dollies, then loads at the curb; say the deck and the level.
Elmora
Westfield Avenue, Elmora Avenue and the streets toward Warinanco Park. Driveways, tight curb cuts and a large share of all-wheel-drive commuters, so the flatbed is the usual truck. Cold-morning no-starts get a jump before a tow.
Peterstown, the Burg and Frog Hollow
Third Street, South Elizabeth Avenue and the slope to the river. Cars parked nose to tail on narrow one-ways, freed with skates and a wheel-lift. The lowered cars that live here still ride a flatbed.
Bayway and the refinery corridor
Bayway Avenue, the circle and Routes 1 & 9 to the Linden line. The nearest neighborhood to the yard and the heaviest truck traffic in the city. Medium and heavy-duty for the commercial iron, flatbeds for the cars that meet it.
North Elizabeth and Westminster
North Avenue, North Broad Street, Westminster Avenue and the North Elizabeth station lot. Commuter cars, imports and EVs in the driveways, the airport's edge and the Newark line. Flatbeds most of the time. 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.
Name a corner, a lot or an exit; the dispatcher names the truck that fits your car.
Call (908) 666-3168Home: tow truck Elizabeth NJWhere a tow truck in Elizabeth gets sent most: exits, ramps, the viaduct and the decks
The calls cluster at Turnpike Exits 13 and 13A, on the Routes 1 & 9 viaduct and around Bayway Circle, on the Goethals approach, along Route 27, North Avenue and Elizabeth Avenue, and in the decks at Jersey Gardens and the train station; every one of them is a direct dispatch except the Turnpike shoulder itself.
- Turnpike Exit 13, the Goethals and Bayway ramps
- Turnpike Exit 13A, the seaport and Jersey Gardens ramps
- Routes 1 & 9 viaduct over Midtown
- Bayway Circle and Routes 1 & 9 south

If the car still moves, take it down a ramp, onto a side street or into a lot before dialing; loading there is safer and the price is identical. If it will not move, put the hazards on, get yourself behind the barrier, and tell the dispatcher three things: the road, your direction and the last cross street or exit you passed.

Call from the roadsideThe seven towns around Elizabeth get the same tow trucks and the same flat fee
Seven towns sit on Elizabeth's line or a short road from it, Newark, Linden, Hillside, Union Township, Roselle, Roselle Park and Kenilworth, and the trucks, the dispatcher and the $149 fee do not change when the truck crosses into one of them.
Newark
Over the North Elizabeth line on Routes 1 & 9 or Newark Avenue. The airport, the Ironbound and the South Ward shops are a few miles from Midtown.
Linden
Where the trucks live. Wood Avenue, St. Georges Avenue and the Routes 1 & 9 garages, the shortest cross-town tow on this site.
Hillside
North of Westminster along North Broad Street. Liberty Avenue, Route 22 and the I-78 ramps.
Union Township
Past Kean University on Morris Avenue. Route 22's dealers and the Parkway's Exit 139 and 140.
Roselle
West of Elmora across Warinanco Park. Chestnut Street, St. Georges Avenue and the Roselle station.
Roselle Park
Beyond Westfield Avenue at the Elmora line. Parkway Exit 137 and the station lot.
Kenilworth
A few minutes farther west on Kenilworth Boulevard from Parkway Exit 138, and a common shop destination for Elmora cars.
Elizabeth to any of those towns, or back the other way, is one quote: the booking fee and a few miles. Beyond that, the shore, New York City or another state, the job becomes a long distance tow on a single flatbed, tolls inside the quote.
In Elizabeth or just over its line, it is the same trucks and the same number.
Call (908) 666-3168Contact dispatchService area: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Which part of Elizabeth gets a tow truck fastest?
Bayway, Elizabethport and the Jersey Gardens lots, which sit on Routes 1 & 9 a few minutes from the Linden yard. The rest of the city is minutes behind, and a truck already in town is usually nearer than the yard.
Is there a flatbed near me in Elizabeth right now?
Almost always. Flatbeds and wheel-lifts both work the city around the clock, and the dispatcher can see which is closest. Say the make and drivetrain and she sends the one your car needs.
Do the towns next to Elizabeth pay the same fee?
Yes. All seven, Newark, Linden, Hillside, Union Township, Roselle, Roselle Park and Kenilworth, get the identical $149 booking fee and whatever local miles the run adds.
Do you send trucks to the port and Jersey Gardens?
Every week. Heavy and medium-duty for the terminal and the truck lots, flatbeds and wheel-lifts for the mall decks, the IKEA lot and the hotels along Kapkowski Road and the Routes 1 & 9 frontage.
