Tow truck near me in Edison, NJ: the sections, the roads between them, and the eight towns on the border

A township this size has no single answer to "tow truck near me." A hotel lot in Menlo Park, a dock in Raritan Center and a driveway in North Edison each want a different truck arriving by a different road. Below, section by section, is what we send, how it gets in, and which neighboring towns ride on the same dispatcher and the same fee.

Six sections

Tow truck near me by Edison section: one fee everywhere, a different truck and a different way in

Every section of Edison is booked at the same $149, but the place picks the truck: the wheel-lift where cars sit packed at the mall or along Oak Tree Road, the rollback where the driveways are full of all-wheel drive, the wrecker where trailers back up to docks off Exit 10, and the driver's route in changes with each one.

Name a corner, a deck level or a gate number and the truck your car needs is booked.

Roads and exits

Tow truck near me on Edison roads: the exits, interchanges and lots that generate the calls

Most of the calls come from Turnpike Exit 10, the stretch of Route 1 between the mall and Woodbridge Avenue, Route 27 near JFK and the station, I-287 around the Durham Avenue exit, the Parkway edge at Metropark, and the lots at the mall, the station and the Expo Center; every one of them is booked at the same fee.

If the car will still move, get it into the jughandle, up a ramp shoulder or onto the first apron you see, so the truck can work without a lane closure behind it. Then tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit or cross street; from a shoulder, the ramps around Exit 10 and the I-287 merge are hard to tell apart.

The eight towns around Edison get the same trucks and the same fee

Woodbridge, Metuchen, Piscataway, Highland Park, New Brunswick, East Brunswick, Sayreville and South Plainfield are worked by the same dispatcher and the same rollbacks and wheel-lifts, at the same $149 booking fee, so crossing the township line costs a few extra miles and nothing more.

Woodbridge

East across the Parkway: Iselin, Metropark and the Oak Tree Road blocks that continue into Edison. Minutes from Menlo Park.

Metuchen

The borough Edison wraps around, reached by Route 27, Amboy Avenue or Plainfield Avenue. Main Street, the station and the streets that run straight into Clara Barton and North Edison.

Piscataway

West across I-287 and the Kilmer area: Rutgers Livingston, Centennial Avenue and the river road. A short hop from Piscatawaytown.

Highland Park

Down Woodbridge Avenue or Route 27 at the Raritan. Raritan Avenue's shops and the bridge into New Brunswick.

New Brunswick

South on Route 1 or Route 27: the hospitals, the Rutgers campus and the Route 18 interchange. A common destination for cars leaving Bonhamtown.

East Brunswick

Across the Raritan on Route 18 or Route 1: the Route 18 strip and the Turnpike's Exit 9.

Sayreville

Across the river from Raritan Center, by Route 9 or over the Driscoll Bridge. The Route 9 strip and the Parkway exits on the far shore.

South Plainfield

North of Oak Tree Road and Inman Avenue: Hadley Road's plazas, the Route 287 exits and the streets that border North Edison.

A car leaving Edison for a body shop in Metuchen, or arriving from Piscataway at a Route 1 dealer, is one local job: the booking fee and whatever miles lie between the two addresses. Beyond that, the shore, New York and Pennsylvania are a long distance tow on the same rollback, with the tolls in the quote.

Inside the township or just past its edge, the trucks and the fee stay put.

FAQ

Service area: common questions

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.

Which part of Edison sees the truck first?

Menlo Park and the Oak Tree side, at the Linden end of Route 1 and the Parkway. Raritan Center, Bonhamtown and Piscatawaytown come a few minutes later, unless a truck is already working nearby, which is common.

Is one of your trucks near me in Edison right now?

Probably. Rollbacks and wheel-lifts are out in the township day and night, the yard is twenty minutes off, and the dispatcher gives you a window based on where the closest truck of the right kind actually is.

Do the towns around Edison pay the same fee?

Yes. Woodbridge, Metuchen, Piscataway, Highland Park, New Brunswick, East Brunswick, Sayreville and South Plainfield are the same dispatch and the same trucks, and a tow across the line is the fee plus the miles.

Do you send wreckers into Raritan Center?

Yes. Sprinters and box trucks ride the medium wrecker, tractors and coaches the heavy one, and fleets settle on net terms with one invoice. Tell the dispatcher the model or the weight.

Anything else? Ask on the call.
