Towing near me in Essex County, NJ: six parts of the county, its highways, and the five counties around it
Searching for towing near you in Essex County? This page is the county in words: six parts, the roads that tie them together, and the five neighboring counties we also serve, Union, Hudson, Passaic, Morris and Bergen. One number, one dispatcher, and the nearest tow truck to wherever you are.
Towing near me by part of Essex County: from the port in the east to the Passaic in the west
Every part of Essex County gets the same dispatcher and the same $149 booking fee; what changes is the drive and the kind of call, because a port yard in Newark, a downtown curb in Montclair, a reservation road in West Orange and a driveway in Short Hills each need a different truck and route.
Newark: all five wards and the port
The North, South, East, West and Central Wards, the Ironbound, Port Newark, Newark Penn Station and the airport's northern side. Routes 1 & 9, Route 21, I-78, I-280 and Turnpike Exits 14 and 15E cross it, and it is the part of the county closest to Linden.
East Orange, Orange and Irvington
The dense belt just west of Newark, laced by I-280, the Parkway from Exit 143 to 147, Central Avenue and Springfield Avenue. Apartment blocks, bus routes, commuter stations and tight curbs.
Bloomfield, Belleville, Nutley and Glen Ridge
The northeast corner along Route 21 and the Passaic River, with Bloomfield Avenue, Washington Avenue and Parkway Exits 148 to 151. Clara Maass Medical Center, Branch Brook Park's northern end and busy train stations.
Montclair, Verona and Cedar Grove
Up the first ridge by Bloomfield Avenue, Valley Road and Pompton Avenue. Downtown parking, hillside streets, Montclair State University and the Route 23 corridor through Cedar Grove.
West Orange, Livingston, Roseland and the Caldwells
Over the ridge on I-280, Northfield Avenue and Eagle Rock Avenue to Livingston, Roseland, Essex Fells, Caldwell and West Caldwell. Route 10, Eisenhower Parkway, Saint Barnabas and the Livingston Mall; the longest drive from our yard.
South Orange, Maplewood and Millburn–Short Hills
South Orange Avenue by Seton Hall, Springfield Avenue through Maplewood, Route 24 and the Mall at Short Hills. Village downtowns, Midtown Direct stations and the southern slope of South Mountain.
Town plus cross street is all the dispatcher needs to pick a truck.

If the car still moves, get off the main road onto a side street, a ramp shoulder or a parking lot before you call. If it does not, leave it, hazards on, get somewhere out of traffic, and tell the dispatcher the town, the road, the direction and the last exit or cross street.

Call from the roadsideThe five counties bordering Essex County use the same dispatch
Essex County borders Union, Hudson, Passaic, Morris and Bergen counties, and a breakdown just across any of those lines reaches the same dispatcher on (908) 666-3168 at the same $149 booking fee.
Union County
South across the Newark and Irvington lines into Elizabeth, Hillside, Union and Springfield. Our yard is in Linden, so this is home ground.
Hudson County
East across the Passaic and the Hackensack into Kearny, Harrison and Jersey City, by I-280, Route 1 & 9 truck and the Turnpike.
Passaic County
North past Nutley, Montclair and Cedar Grove into Clifton, Little Falls and Wayne, along Route 21, Route 23 and Valley Road.
Morris County
West across the Passaic from Livingston, Roseland and Fairfield into East Hanover, Florham Park and Parsippany, by I-280, Route 10 and Route 24.
Bergen County
Northeast across the Passaic from Belleville and Nutley into Lyndhurst and North Arlington, a short hop over the river bridges.
A tow from Essex County into any neighboring county, or back, is a regular local job: the $149 booking fee plus mileage, one quote. Farther trips, to the shore, New York or another state, are long distance towing, priced the same way with tolls built in.
Service area: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is there a tow truck near me in Essex County right now?
Very often, yes. Trucks move around the county on other calls, and the dispatcher quotes the window from wherever the closest one actually is, not from Linden.
Which part of Essex County do you reach fastest?
Newark, especially the South Ward, the Ironbound and the port, which sit about 15 minutes from our Linden yard. The Caldwells and Roseland are the slowest unless a truck is already out west.
Do you tow across county lines?
Yes. Union, Hudson, Passaic, Morris and Bergen counties get the same dispatcher and the same $149 booking fee.
Do I need to know which town I am in?
It helps a lot, because street names repeat across Essex County. If you are unsure, name a landmark, a store or the last highway exit and the dispatcher will work it out.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
