Tow truck at the Carteret waterfront, NJ: the park, the marina lots and the shore of the Arthur Kill
The Carteret Waterfront Park runs along the Arthur Kill with a walkway, open lawns, the marina and the boat launch, and Staten Island across the water. The borough has been building up its waterfront for years. It is busy on summer evenings and quiet the rest of the time, and its calls are different from the rest of town.
Batteries, boat trailers and standing water: how a tow truck works the Carteret waterfront
The waterfront produces three kinds of call, a car that will not start after an evening in the park, a tow vehicle stuck with a boat trailer at the launch, and a car that sat in water on low ground after a storm, and each gets a different response, at $149 by phone or $129 when you book online for a car tow.
Summer evenings in the park lots
Headlights left on, a door that did not latch, a battery already near the end. A jump is one flat price with no mileage, and the lots are wide enough that a flatbed can back straight up if the car has to go.
Keys locked in the car at the walkway are a lockout at one price, with the proper tools.
Boat trailers at the launch
A trailer jackknifed on the ramp or a tow vehicle with its wheels spinning on a wet slope needs a winch, not a tow. The driver pulls the rig back to level ground, and the job is quoted before he starts.
If the tow vehicle itself has failed, the dispatcher sends the right class of truck for it.
Low ground after a storm
Water can collect near the shore after heavy rain or a high tide. A car that stalled in it goes on a flatbed with the ignition left off, winched up rather than driven.
The driver checks the depth before backing the deck in, and the car goes straight to the shop you name.
Staten Island across the water
There is no bridge from Carteret to Staten Island. A tow across goes by one of the Arthur Kill bridges outside the borough, and the extra miles and toll are in the quote before dispatch.
Most waterfront tows stay local, to a shop on Roosevelt Avenue or in Rahway or Woodbridge.

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
My car will not start in the Waterfront Park lot. What does it cost?
A jump is one flat price with no mileage. If the battery is dead for good, the same truck tows the car at the flat fee.
My truck and boat trailer are stuck on the launch ramp. Can you help?
Yes. A winch-out pulls the rig back to level ground, quoted before the driver starts. If the vehicle needs towing afterward, that is added at the normal price.
My car sat in water near the shore. Should I start it?
No. Leave the key off and call. It goes on a flatbed and is winched aboard with the engine untouched.
Can you tow from the Carteret marina to Staten Island?
Yes, by way of a bridge outside the borough. The miles and the toll are part of the quote you hear first.
