Towing Somerset County NJ: Route 22 to the Somerset Hills

North Plainfield, Watchung and Green Brook sit roughly twenty-five to thirty minutes from the yard along Route 22. Bound Brook and Bridgewater run thirty-five to forty, and Somerville and Raritan about forty.

Hillsborough, Basking Ridge and Bedminster are forty-five minutes or more. The dispatcher says which band you are in before you agree to anything.

The yard is only the starting point on a quiet night. On a busy day a flatbed may be finishing a drop in Bridgewater or on Route 28, and that truck, not Linden, sets the arrival time.

That is why the first question on the call is where you are, and the second is what the car is doing.

The $149 booking fee pays for a truck reaching you and hooking up the car. It does not climb because you are in Far Hills instead of Green Brook.

Mileage is counted from your car to the shop, dealer or driveway you pick, and you hear the figure on the call.

We are licensed and insured in New Jersey. The driver photographs the vehicle before it is loaded and again when it comes off the deck.

The itemized receipt carries the business name, the pickup and drop-off addresses and each charge, which is what a claim or a roadside plan asks for.

Once police release the scene, you decide where the car goes. Name your body shop and the driver delivers it there, not to a lot that bills storage by the day.

The car is photographed before it moves, and those pictures help when the adjuster calls.

Keep the hazards on, leave by the door away from traffic if it is safe, and wait behind the guardrail. Tell the dispatcher the direction and the last exit you passed.

Both interstates are direct dispatch for our trucks through Somerset County. 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.

Low streets near the Raritan and Millstone rivers flood quickly in a hard rain. A car that has sat in water goes on a flatbed, and nobody should try the ignition first.

Tell the dispatcher how high the water reached so the right truck goes, and expect a longer wait while the storm is still on.

A flat on a dark stretch of Route 202 near Bernardsville or a battery that quits in a Bedminster lot at midnight still reaches a live person. There is no overnight surcharge.

Because those towns are a longer run, the dispatcher gives an honest window and stays reachable while you wait.

Distance from pickup to drop-off comes first. The vehicle comes next: an EV or AWD car needs a flatbed, and a bus or tractor needs a heavy-duty unit priced on the call.

Condition matters too. A car that rolls and steers loads quickly, and one down an embankment may need a winch, which you hear about before the driver starts.

No premium for nights, Sundays or holidays, and no fuel surcharge. No extra charge for the long drive out to the hills.

No passenger fee, no storage fee and no release fee on a car delivered where you asked. The full breakdown sits on the prices page.

In North Plainfield, Watchung or Green Brook, the yard in Linden is about twenty-five to thirty minutes away on Route 22. That is as near as we get to Somerset County.

Bound Brook, Bridgewater and Franklin's Somerset section run about thirty-five to forty minutes, with Somerville and Raritan close to forty. A truck already working the valley can beat that.

Basking Ridge, Bedminster, Hillsborough, Manville and Montgomery are forty-five minutes or longer. If the car is safe where it is, a scheduled pickup is often the calmer choice.

The road and cross street, the store or station lot, or the interstate and direction. Add the vehicle and where it should go, and the price comes in the same call.
