Tow truck in downtown Rahway, NJ: the station deck, the one-way blocks and the truck that fits them

Irving Street, Main Street, the station on the Northeast Corridor, the deck beside it, the performing arts center, City Hall Plaza and the library. The part of Rahway where the truck's route in is worked out before it leaves Linden, because the ceilings are low and the blocks run one way.

How a tow truck works downtown Rahway: the deck, the platforms, the theater crowd and the library lot

Downtown Rahway is a parking deck a flatbed cannot enter, one-way blocks around Main Street, a station where two rail lines split and a theater that empties onto Irving Street at eleven at night, so the driver brings the car to street level on a wheel-lift or dollies and loads it there, at $149 by phone or $129 when you book online.

01

The station deck at the end of the workday

Commuters walk back from the platform to a car that sat since seven and now only clicks. A jump goes first. If the car has to leave, the ceiling decides how: a wheel-lift or dollies bring it down to the exit and the flatbed waits on the street.

Tell the dispatcher the level and the truck is planned before it rolls. Any dolly work is quoted on the call, not at the ramp.

02

Irving Street, Main Street and the blocks that run one way

The arts district's streets are short, narrow and lined with parked cars on both curbs, and several only run one direction. The driver comes in from Elizabeth Avenue or from St. Georges Avenue depending on the block; say the corner and which side of the street.

A wheel-lift handles most of these because it is short enough to stop in the block. A lowered car gets the flatbed, loaded from the corner where the ramp can lie flat.

03

The theater, City Hall Plaza and the library lot

A performance lets out and one car in the lot will not start. It is nearly always a battery, one flat price, no mileage, and the truck that brings the jump pack is the one that tows if the battery is finished. Visitors at City Hall Plaza and the library lot lock keys in cars at a steady rate; a lockout is one price with damage-free tools.

04

Where downtown cars usually go

A mechanic on St. Georges Avenue, a body shop across the line in Linden, a dealer up Route 1. All of it is a handful of miles from Irving Street, which keeps the second line on the receipt small.

Businesses on Main Street and Irving Street that call more than once a season get an account and one invoice.

In the station deck? Say the level. On a one-way block? Say the corner and the side. The approach is planned from that.

FAQ

Downtown: common questions

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

Can a flatbed get into the Rahway station parking deck?

No, the ceiling is too low. The driver brings the car to the exit on a wheel-lift or dollies and loads it on the street outside. Say the level when you call.

My car died on a one-way block off Main Street. How does the truck get to me?

From the cross street, coming in with the direction of travel. Give the corner and the side of the street and the dispatcher routes the driver so he stops beside the car on the first pass.

Keys locked in the car after a show at the theater. Do I need a tow?

No. A lockout is one flat price with damage-free tools, and the truck is usually already downtown at that hour.

How long from the Linden yard to Rahway station?

About eight minutes by St. Georges Avenue, and a truck already in town is often closer. The dispatcher quotes the window from the nearest one.
