What you're thinking right now.

Real answers from a real towing company. No sales pitch, no weasel words.

Am I talking to a robot?
For the first minute, yes — and that's exactly why we answer in one ring at 3 AM while other shops go to voicemail. The dispatcher takes your location and vehicle info faster than hold music ever would. A real driver is on every truck, and you can ask for a human at any point on the call.
How fast can you get to me?
Depends where you are — but you never have to guess. A live ETA hits your phone the moment the truck is assigned, with the driver's name. Most Newark calls see under 30 minutes; corridor calls are often faster.
How much does a tow cost?
Quoted on the call before the truck moves. Distance and situation set the price; the number you hear is the number you pay. No after-hours fee nobody mentioned, no surprise at the drop-off. If the job changes when the driver arrives — the car's in a ditch, not on the shoulder — he gives you the new number before he hooks anything up.
Can I get reimbursed through my insurance or motor club?
We provide an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance company or motor club for reimbursement. We don't bill them directly — you pay us and get reimbursed by them.
Do you really buy junk cars?
Yes. If the car isn't worth fixing, say so on the call — you'll get a cash offer and the tow costs you nothing. Running or not, title or no title. Same-day pickup in most of Essex County.
What areas do you cover?
Newark and all of Essex County — East Orange, Irvington, Orange, Bloomfield, Belleville, Montclair, West Orange, Nutley, Maplewood, South Orange, Livingston, and the corridors. Not sure if we reach you? Call anyway — the dispatcher tells you in ten seconds.
Do I need cash? Can I pay with a card?
Card is fine. We take all major credit and debit cards. Cash works too. You'll know the price before the truck moves either way.
What if I'm not sure what's wrong with the car?
That's fine. Describe what happened — 'it made a noise and died,' 'it won't start,' 'I hit a curb.' The dispatcher asks the right questions and sends the right truck. You don't need to be a mechanic.
Is there an after-hours fee?
No. Our dispatcher answers every hour the same way. No 2 AM surcharge, no holiday rate. The price doesn't change because it's dark outside.
