24 hour towing in the North Ward, Newark, NJ: hills, driveways and the first ice of winter

Older houses, narrow curb cuts and driveways that a flatbed has to back into carefully. A lot of Subarus, Audis and family SUVs, which ride flatbed so nothing drags. The driver calls ahead so you can move a second car out of the driveway.

The commercial spines of the ward, with curbside parking, bus stops and double parking from the shops. Flat tires, dead batteries in the lots, and cars that die in traffic at Broadway and Bloomfield. Give the nearest cross street and the side of the avenue.

The park loops and the streets off Heller Parkway ice before the avenues do. A slide-off into the grass or against a curb is a winch-out first: we pull the car back onto the pavement and, if it drives, you go. If something is bent, the flatbed is already there.

Toward the Belleville and Bloomfield lines and down to Route 21. Street parking on both sides, light-rail stops along Bloomfield Avenue, and quick access for the truck from Route 21 or the Parkway's Exit 148 approach in Bloomfield.
