Towing in North Plainfield, Watchung and Green Brook, NJ: the Route 22 end of Somerset County

Route 22 through Watchung and Green Brook is a divided highway lined with stores, and the Blue Star Shopping Center is one of its busiest stops. Crashes at the jughandles and cars that die in the lot are regular calls.

Tell the dispatcher eastbound or westbound and the nearest store, since crossing the divider can mean a long loop. The truck plans its approach before leaving Linden.

North Plainfield is a dense borough of older homes, with Somerset Street and Watchung Avenue carrying most of its traffic toward downtown Plainfield. Street parking is tight and many cars live at the curb.

A dead battery or a flat here is usually a roadside job at one flat price. When a tow is needed, the driver checks the clearance around the car before choosing a wheel-lift or a flatbed.

Watchung sits on the first Watchung Mountain, with winding roads that climb from Route 22 toward the Union County reservation. In ice or heavy rain those curves catch drivers out.

A car off the edge of a hill road usually needs a winch before it can be loaded. The dispatcher asks about the slope and the ground so the right truck goes.

Green Brook runs along Route 22 between Watchung and Bound Brook, with shopping plazas, car dealers and quiet streets climbing the hill behind them. Many calls come from the plazas and the dealer lots.

From here Bridgewater is a short hop west, so a car can go to a shop on either side with only a few miles on the quote.
