Commuter driveways, avenues and the Parkway edge: towing in the West and Central Wards

West Ward calls are commuter cars that die in the driveway on a cold morning and avenue breakdowns on South Orange and Springfield; Central Ward calls are campus lots and hospital decks; all at the same $149 flat booking fee, $129 when you book online.

01

Vailsburg and Ivy Hill

Residential blocks against the Parkway and the South Orange line. Driveway no-starts, flat tires on Sanford Avenue, and cars that need to get to a shop on South Orange Avenue. The Parkway's Exit 145 ramp at I-280 is the Authority's road. 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.

02

Fairmount and West Side

18th Avenue, South 10th through South 20th Streets, West Side Park and the streets toward Irvington. Street parking on both sides and older cars; the driver often loads from the traffic side. Winter slide-offs on the side streets are winch-outs first.

03

Central Ward: MLK Boulevard and Springfield Avenue

The campus streets around Rutgers–Newark, NJIT and University Hospital, the Springfield Avenue shops and the blocks toward Downtown. Hospital-lot batteries at shift change, visitor lockouts, and student cars that sat over a break. Campus security admits the truck once you have called.

04

I-280 and Central Avenue

Steep on-ramps at First Street and MLK, stop-and-go through the Central Ward at rush hour, and ice on the elevated sections before the local streets freeze. Direct dispatch on I-280 in both directions; say the direction and the last exit you passed.

FAQ

West & Central Wards: common questions

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

I broke down on the Parkway at Exit 145. Can you come to the shoulder?

On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.

Do you tow from University Hospital and the campus decks?

Yes. Campus and hospital security admit the truck once you have called; the driver checks in at the booth. Tell dispatch which deck or lot.

How long to reach Vailsburg at night?

Vailsburg is the far side of Newark from our yard, but a truck already in the city is usually closer than the yard. The dispatcher quotes the window from the truck's real position.

Can you come to I-280?

Yes, both directions, direct dispatch. Say the direction and the last exit you passed, and get the car onto the shoulder if it still moves.
