Tow truck near me in Rahway, NJ: every part of town, the corridor, the station and the towns next door
Searching for a tow truck near you in Rahway? This is the map. Six parts of town and the truck each one tends to call for, the two roads the trucks take in from Linden, and the six places over the city line that get the same trucks at the same fee.
Tow truck near me by part of Rahway: one fee everywhere, a different truck for each street
Between the Linden line and the Colonia line the booking fee is fixed; what the dispatcher adjusts is the truck, a heavy wrecker on the Route 1 corridor, a wheel-lift and dollies in the station deck, a flatbed for the all-wheel-drive driveways off Westfield Avenue and for any car pulled out of the river's floodwater.
Downtown, the station and Irving Street
The middle of town: Irving Street, Main Street, the station deck, the performing arts center, City Hall Plaza and the library. The deck ceiling keeps flatbeds out, and the blocks run one way, so the car comes to the curb on a wheel-lift or dollies and loads there. Give the level.
The Route 1 corridor, Merck and the Woodbridge line
Route 1 from the Linden line down to the prison, fed by East Lincoln Avenue, East Hazelwood Avenue and Leesville Avenue. Jughandles, thin shoulders, campus gates and warehouse docks. Heavy and medium-duty units for the trucks, flatbeds for the cars that meet them.
St. Georges Avenue and the shopping strips
Route 27 through Rahway: the supermarket and strip-mall lots, the gas stations, the garages. It is our road in from Linden and the road most Rahway cars are towed along to be fixed. Jumps in the lots, a wheel-lift for the short hop, a flatbed for the SUVs.
Rahway River Park and the river
The county park, its pool lots, the loop road and the low streets beside the water. Slide-offs on icy mornings, cars stalled in floodwater after a storm, the Clark line a few hundred yards off. A flatbed for anything that has been in water.
Westfield Avenue, Milton Avenue and Central Avenue
The residential west: driveways, hedges, narrow aprons, and plenty of all-wheel-drive commuters bound for Parkway Exit 135. Flatbeds more often than not, a jump pack on cold mornings, the driveway angle worked out before the truck leaves the yard.
The Inman Avenue side, Lawrence Street and Colonia
Inman Avenue out toward Colonia, Lawrence Street, Madison Hill Road and the hospital on Stone Street. Quiet streets, tight garages, and cars that cross into Woodbridge Township for a shop, a short run at the flat 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 corner, a lot or a jughandle; the dispatcher names the truck that suits your car.
Call (908) 666-3168Home: tow truck Rahway NJWhere a tow truck in Rahway gets sent most: the jughandles, the deck, the park loop and the exits
Calls bunch up on Route 1 at the East Lincoln Avenue and Randolph Avenue jughandles, in the station deck, at the St. Georges Avenue lights, on the park loop after ice, along Central Avenue and Westfield Avenue, and at Parkway Exit 135 in Clark; all of them are direct dispatch apart from the Parkway and Turnpike shoulders themselves.

A car that still moves should go through the next jughandle, onto a side street or into a lot before you call; the load is safer there and the price does not change. A car that will not move gets hazards on while you get behind the guardrail. Then give the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last cross street or jughandle.
On a Rahway road at this moment? Call, say the road and the direction, and the nearest right truck rolls while you talk.
Call from the roadsideThe six towns around Rahway get the same tow trucks and the same flat fee
Six places touch Rahway's line, Linden, Clark, Avenel, Colonia, Woodbridge and Carteret, and neither the trucks, the dispatcher nor the $149 fee change when the truck crosses into any of them.
Linden
Where the trucks are parked. Up St. Georges Avenue or Route 1 from the park, the shortest cross-town tow on this site, with Wood Avenue's garages and the Route 1 dealers.
Clark
West across the river along Westfield Avenue, Central Avenue and Madison Hill Road. Parkway Exits 135 and 136, Raritan Road and the shops on Central Avenue.
Avenel
South down St. Georges Avenue and Route 1, past the prison. A Woodbridge Township section with its own station on the Coast Line and the Route 1 strip.
Colonia
Southwest along Inman Avenue and Lawrence Street. Residential blocks that share Rahway's mechanics and Rahway's commuters.
Woodbridge
The township beyond Avenel and Colonia: Route 1's dealer row, the mall, the Turnpike interchange and Woodbridge station, a few miles from downtown Rahway.
Carteret
East across the Rahway River on Roosevelt Avenue, home to Turnpike Exit 12 and the tractor traffic that fills Route 1 through Rahway.
Rahway to any of those six, or back again, is a single quote: the booking fee and a few miles. Further than that, the shore, New York City or another state, it turns into a long distance tow on one flatbed with tolls inside the figure.
Inside Rahway or just past its line, the trucks and the number do not change.
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 Rahway gets a tow truck quickest?
Rahway River Park, St. Georges Avenue and the Route 1 corridor by East Hazelwood Avenue, all of which sit on the two roads in from the Linden yard. The rest of town is a couple of minutes behind, and a truck already in Rahway is usually nearer than the yard anyway.
Is there a flatbed near me in Rahway right now?
Nearly always. Both kinds of truck work Rahway at every hour, the dispatcher can see which one is closest, and once she has the make and drivetrain she sends whichever your car needs.
Do the towns next to Rahway pay the same fee?
Yes. Linden, Clark, Avenel, Colonia, Woodbridge and Carteret all get the identical $149 booking fee and whatever local miles the run adds.
Do you send trucks to Merck and the Route 1 warehouses?
Every week. Heavy and medium-duty for the docks and the campus gates, flatbeds and wheel-lifts for the employee lots and the cars stopped at the jughandles.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
