Tow truck near me in Woodbridge, NJ: nine communities, the roads between them, and the seven towns next door
Woodbridge Township is big enough that "tow truck near me" means something different in Colonia than it does in Keasbey. This page lays out each section, the truck we tend to send there, the road the driver takes to reach it, and the neighboring towns that share the same dispatcher and the same fee.
Tow truck near me by Woodbridge section: the same fee everywhere, a different truck and a different way in
The $149 booking fee is identical in Iselin, Avenel, Colonia, Fords, Hopelawn, Keasbey, Port Reading, Sewaren and downtown Woodbridge; what changes is the truck the street calls for, a rollback for Colonia's all-wheel-drive driveways, a wheel-lift for the packed curbs of Oak Tree Road and Main Street, the heavy wrecker for the Keasbey yards, and the road the driver takes to reach you.
Woodbridge proper: Main Street, the station, Amboy and Rahway Avenues
Angled spaces on Main Street, the commuter lot at the station, Town Hall and the Community Center on Route 35, the older blocks toward Green Street. Downtown is wheel-lift work more often than not, with the rollback on a side street for AWD commuter cars. In from Route 35 or Amboy Avenue.
Iselin: Oak Tree Road, Metropark, Wood Avenue, Route 27
Shopping blocks with cars nose to tail, the Metropark garage with a ceiling no rollback clears, the Wood Avenue South office parks and Route 27 toward Edison. In Iselin the driver goes into the garage with a wheel-lift or dollies and loads outside. Parkway Exit 131 is the way in.
Avenel: Avenel Street, Route 1, the station, Blair Road
The Linden end of the township, a few minutes down Routes 1 & 9 or Rahway Avenue from the yard. The station lot, the Route 1 strip with its jughandles, the residential grid off Avenel Street. Whatever truck leaves Linden first tends to reach Avenel first.
Colonia: Inman Avenue, New Dover Road, Colonia Boulevard
Tree-lined streets against the Clark and Rahway borders, sloped driveways, and more all-wheel-drive SUVs per block than anywhere else in Woodbridge. Colonia is rollback country; the driver phones ahead, backs in from Inman Avenue or winches from the street.
Fords, Hopelawn and Keasbey: King Georges Road, Route 9, Route 440, Smith Street
Fords' strips, Hopelawn's streets by the Perth Amboy line, and Keasbey's warehouses along Smith Street and Route 440 near the Raritan. The southern sections need all three truck sizes: rollbacks and wheel-lifts for the cars, the medium and heavy wreckers for the fleets.
Port Reading and Sewaren: the rail yards, Cliff Road, the waterfront
The rail yard gates on Port Reading Avenue and the truck route to Carteret; Sewaren's Cliff Road, West Avenue and the Waterfront Park on the Arthur Kill. The eastern edge gets heavy trucks at the gates and rollbacks with winches by the water. 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.
Give the dispatcher a corner, a lot or an exit and the truck that fits your car rolls.

The calls cluster at the Parkway exits from 127 to 131, at Turnpike Exit 11 and the Parkway interchange, on Routes 1 & 9 by Woodbridge Center, on Route 35, Route 440 and Route 27, and in the lots at Woodbridge, Avenel and Metropark stations, all at one booking fee.

- Garden State Parkway Exits 129 and 130 (Route 1)
- Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark / Iselin)
- NJ Turnpike Exit 11 and the Parkway interchange

Two things help the truck more than anything else on these roads. First, if the car rolls at all, nurse it into a jughandle, onto a ramp shoulder or down a side street, because a truck can load there without blocking a lane. Second, name the road, the direction you were travelling and the last exit number or cross street, since the ramps around Exit 11 and Exit 129 look identical from a shoulder.

Call from the roadsideThe seven towns around Woodbridge get the same trucks and the same fee
Carteret, Rahway, Clark, Edison, Perth Amboy, Sayreville across the Raritan and Linden up the road are all inside the same dispatch, with the same rollbacks and wheel-lifts and the same $149 booking fee, so a tow that crosses the township line in either direction adds only a few miles.
Carteret
East of Port Reading along Roosevelt Avenue and the Turnpike's edge. The industrial park and the waterfront, minutes from the rail yards.
Rahway
North of Avenel and Colonia up Rahway Avenue and Route 35. The station, the downtown lots and the garages along St. Georges Avenue.
Clark
Above Colonia at Parkway Exit 135 and Raritan Road. Quiet streets and driveways much like Colonia's, with the same AWD share.
Edison
West and south along Route 27, Route 1 and Route 440. JFK Medical Center, the Menlo Park lots and the I-287 end.
Perth Amboy
Below Hopelawn and Sewaren on Route 35 and Route 440. Raritan Bay Medical Center, Smith Street and the Outerbridge approach.
Sayreville
Across the Raritan by Route 9 or the Parkway. The Route 9 strip and the Parkway exits on the far bank.
Linden
Our yard, up Routes 1 & 9 past Rahway. Where the trucks start the day and where the shortest run into the township begins.
A Woodbridge car going to a body shop in Edison, or an Edison car coming to a dealer on Route 1, is priced as one local tow: the booking fee and the miles between the two addresses. Further destinations, the shore towns, New York, Pennsylvania, ride the same rollback as a long distance tow with tolls included in the quote.
Anywhere in the township or beside it, the trucks and the fee are the same.
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 Woodbridge gets the tow truck fastest?
Avenel, Port Reading and Woodbridge proper, because they sit at the Linden end of Routes 1 & 9. Iselin, Colonia, Fords and Keasbey are a few minutes further, and a truck already working the township is often nearer than the yard anyway.
Is there a tow truck near me somewhere in Woodbridge right now?
Almost certainly. Rollbacks and wheel-lifts both work the township through the day and night, the yard is about twelve minutes off, and the dispatcher quotes the arrival window from wherever the nearest suitable truck actually is.
Do the towns next to Woodbridge pay the same fee?
They do. Carteret, Rahway, Clark, Edison, Perth Amboy, Sayreville and Linden are inside the same dispatch with the same trucks, and a cross-border tow is the booking fee plus the miles between the two addresses.
Do you send heavy trucks to the Port Reading and Keasbey yards?
Yes. Medium-duty wreckers for Sprinters and box trucks, the heavy wrecker for tractors and buses, on a fleet account with one monthly invoice.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
