Tow truck near me in Carteret, NJ: every part of the borough, the warehouse district and the towns across the line
Looking for a tow truck near you in Carteret? Here is the whole map. Six parts of the borough and the truck each tends to need, the roads the trucks use, and the six neighboring places that get the same trucks at the same fee.
Tow truck near me by part of Carteret: the same fee everywhere, a different truck by street
From the Rahway line to the Port Reading line the car fee stays put; the dispatcher changes the truck instead, a wheel-lift for the narrow blocks of the Chrome section, a flatbed for the all-wheel-drive driveways of West Carteret and any car pulled from standing water, and a heavy wrecker for the docks on Industrial Road.
Roosevelt Avenue and the business district
The main street: storefronts, the Carteret Performing Arts Center, side-street parking and the traffic bound for Exit 12. A sedan at the curb usually leaves on a wheel-lift; an SUV or anything after a crash gets the flatbed. Name the block and the side of the street.
The Chrome section, Pershing Avenue and Carteret Avenue
The older east side, built close together, with cars on both curbs and little room for a long deck. Short trucks where the car allows, dollies and a winch to a wider spot when it needs the flatbed. Cold mornings bring a run of battery calls.
West Carteret and Washington Avenue
The residential west toward the Rahway line: driveways, garages and plenty of all-wheel-drive and electric cars. Flatbeds most of the time, planned around the driveway slope before the truck is sent.
The Waterfront Park and marina
The shore along the Arthur Kill: the park, the walkway, the marina and launch lots, Staten Island across the water. Summer batteries and lockouts, boat-trailer mishaps, and a flatbed for any car that sat in water after a storm.
Industrial Road and the warehouse district
The logistics buildings along the water, their dock doors, trailer yards and employee lots, and the tractors running to and from the Turnpike. Heavy and medium-duty units for the rigs, flatbeds and jump packs for the staff cars.
Port Reading Avenue and the Woodbridge line
The southern edge where Carteret becomes Port Reading, with Sewaren beyond. Homes, businesses and truck traffic, and tows that cross into Woodbridge Township at the same fee. 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 block, a gate or a lot and the dispatcher names the truck that fits your vehicle.

Calls cluster on Roosevelt Avenue near the business district and the Turnpike approach, at the warehouse gates and dock doors on Industrial Road, along Washington Avenue and Pershing Avenue, in the Waterfront Park and marina lots, and on Port Reading Avenue at the township line; all are direct dispatch except the Turnpike shoulder itself.

If the vehicle still moves, get it into a side street, a lot or a yard lane before calling; loading is safer there and the price is the same. If it will not move, hazards on and get yourself away from the lane. Then tell the dispatcher the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or gate.
On a Carteret road this minute? Call, give the road and the direction, and the nearest correct truck starts moving.
Call from the roadsideThe places next to Carteret get the same tow trucks and the same flat fee
Six places sit against Carteret or just past it, Woodbridge, Port Reading, Sewaren, Avenel, Rahway and Linden, and the trucks, the dispatcher and the $149 car fee all stay the same across each line; Staten Island lies across the Arthur Kill with no bridge from the borough itself.
Linden
Home of the yard, just north across the Rahway River. Routes 1 & 9, the Linden industrial belt and a short run from any Carteret address.
Rahway
West across the river, with Routes 1 & 9, the train station and downtown shops. Many Carteret cars go to Rahway mechanics and come back the same day.
Port Reading
Directly south along Port Reading Avenue, a Woodbridge Township section with its own warehouses and truck traffic.
Sewaren
South of Port Reading on the Arthur Kill, a quiet waterfront section of Woodbridge a few minutes from the borough line.
Avenel
Southwest past Rahway, a Woodbridge Township section with its own Coast Line station and the Route 1 strip.
Woodbridge
The township that wraps Carteret's southern side: dealers on Route 1, the mall, the station and the body shops Carteret drivers often use.
Carteret to any of those places, or back, is one quote: the booking fee and a few miles. Further out, the shore, New York or another state, it becomes a long distance tow on one flatbed with the tolls built into the figure.
Inside the borough or just across its line, the trucks and the number stay 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 Carteret gets a tow truck fastest?
Roosevelt Avenue and the warehouse district, because trucks come in on that side and heavy units are often already working the docks. The residential blocks are a couple of minutes behind.
Is there a heavy wrecker near me on Industrial Road right now?
Often, yes. The warehouses keep heavy units busy in Carteret at every hour, and the dispatcher can see which one is closest.
Do Port Reading and Sewaren pay the same fee as Carteret?
Yes. Woodbridge, Port Reading, Sewaren, Avenel, Rahway and Linden all get the same $149 car booking fee plus whatever local miles the trip adds.
Can you pick up in Carteret and deliver to Staten Island?
Yes. The truck crosses at one of the Arthur Kill bridges outside the borough, and the extra miles and toll are part of the quote you hear before dispatch.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
