Towing in East Orange, Orange and Irvington, Essex County, NJ: I-280, the Parkway exits and the busy avenues

West of Newark, three dense towns form a belt of apartment blocks, commuter stations and bus routes. I-280 cuts through East Orange and Orange, the Parkway runs past Irvington and East Orange from Exit 143 to Exit 147, and Central Avenue and Springfield Avenue carry the traffic in between.

Tight curbs, trench shoulders and bus routes: towing in the Essex County city belt

Calls from East Orange, Orange and Irvington are a mix of I-280 breakdowns, stalls on the avenues and cars boxed in on apartment streets, and each is priced at the same $149 flat booking fee, or $129 when you book online.

01

I-280 through East Orange and Orange

The interstate runs below street level with narrow shoulders and short ramps. If the car moves, get off at the next ramp; if it does not, climb behind the barrier and call with the direction and last ramp.

We dispatch directly on I-280.

02

Central Avenue and Main Street

Central Avenue runs through East Orange into Orange, past East Orange General Hospital, and Main Street carries buses through both towns. A stall in a travel lane moves up the list.

Say which town, since both have a Main Street.

03

Irvington Center and Springfield Avenue

Springfield Avenue is Irvington's commercial spine, with storefronts, double parking and heavy bus traffic heading toward Maplewood. Parkway Exits 143 and 144 sit close by.

The truck comes in from a side street where it can load without blocking the avenue.

04

Apartment streets and station lots

Cars packed bumper to bumper on residential blocks, plus commuter lots at Brick Church, East Orange, Orange and Highland Avenue stations. A wheel-lift or skates free a boxed-in car.

Most station-lot calls are batteries, which a jump usually fixes.

FAQ

East Orange, Orange & Irvington: common questions

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

Do you tow from the I-280 shoulder in East Orange or Orange?

Yes, directly. Stand behind the barrier and tell the dispatcher your direction and the last ramp you passed.

My car is boxed in on an Irvington street. Can you get it out?

Usually. A wheel-lift pulls it from the space, and skates can slide it sideways if both bumpers are blocked.

Is it quick to reach Irvington from Linden?

Yes, Irvington borders Union County and sits close to our yard. The Oranges take a few minutes more by the Parkway and I-280.

What if I break down on the Parkway at Exit 145?

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.

Anything else? Ask on the call.
