Towing near me in Somerset County, NJ: six areas, the roads between them, and how long a truck really takes
Looking for a tow truck near you in Somerset County? This page sets out how we cover it from outside: six areas, the highways that link them, and the rough drive from our Linden yard to each. It closes with the five counties around Somerset and how a tow across a county line is priced.
Somerset County towing by area: the towns, the main roads and the drive from Linden
The phone number, the trucks and the booking fee never change across Somerset County; what changes is the drive from Linden, from about twenty-five minutes in North Plainfield to forty-five or more in Bedminster and Montgomery, and the kind of trouble each area tends to have.
North Plainfield, Watchung and Green Brook
About twenty-five to thirty minutes. Route 22, Somerset Street and Watchung Avenue, the Blue Star Shopping Center and the Watchung ridge, right against Plainfield and Scotch Plains.
Bridgewater, Bound Brook and South Bound Brook
About thirty-five to forty minutes. Route 22 past Bridgewater Commons, Route 28 through Bound Brook, I-287 and the Route 202/206 junction, and the Raritan bridges into South Bound Brook.
Somerville, Raritan and Branchburg
About forty minutes, Branchburg a bit more. Main Street and the courthouse, the Somerville Circle, the hospital on Rehill Avenue, TD Bank Ballpark and Route 28 west.
Franklin Township and the Easton Avenue side
About thirty-five minutes. Easton Avenue from I-287 toward New Brunswick, Hamilton Street, Route 27 along the Middlesex line and the warehouse parks in the Somerset section.
Bernards Township, Bernardsville and Bedminster
Forty-five minutes or more. Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, I-287, I-78, Route 202 and Route 206. A longer run, and a good fit for a scheduled pickup.
Hillsborough, Manville and Montgomery
Forty-five minutes or more. Route 206 south, Amwell Road, Manville's Main Street, the Duke Farms area and Route 518 near Rocky Hill. Timed honestly on the call.
Warren, Far Hills, Peapack-Gladstone, Millstone and Rocky Hill are covered too. The smaller boroughs in the west and south are among the longest drives we make, so the dispatcher gives a realistic time before anything is booked.
Give the road and a landmark, and the dispatcher says which truck is closest.

A car that can still limp should be nursed off the travel lane into a plaza, a quiet street or the widest shoulder in sight. Loading goes quicker and safer there, at no extra cost. A car that is stuck where it died needs flashers on, people well away from it, and a call giving the road, the heading and the nearest exit or corner.
Neither the Turnpike nor the Parkway crosses Somerset County. If your trip began on one of them, the rule is this: On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.

Call from the roadsideThe five counties around Somerset County, and how a tow across the line is priced
Somerset County borders Union, Middlesex, Morris, Hunterdon and Mercer counties; a tow that starts in Somerset and ends in any of them is the same booking fee plus mileage, and longer trips become long-distance runs.
Union County
East of Watchung and North Plainfield, and home to our yard in Linden. Plainfield, Scotch Plains and Berkeley Heights shops are short trips from the eastern Somerset towns.
Middlesex County
Southeast of Franklin and Bound Brook, across Route 27 and the Raritan. New Brunswick, Piscataway and Dunellen are common drop-offs from the Easton Avenue side.
Morris County
North of Bernardsville, Basking Ridge and Warren along Route 202, I-287 and I-78. Morristown and the Chathams are a natural next stop from the hills.
Hunterdon County
West of Branchburg, Bedminster and Hillsborough along Route 22, I-78 and Route 202. Flemington and Whitehouse Station are longer runs, quoted by the mile.
Mercer County
South of Montgomery and Rocky Hill along Route 206 and Route 518 toward Princeton. The farthest reach of this coverage, timed honestly on the call.
Leaving Somerset changes nothing but the miles. A run to the shore, Manhattan, Philadelphia or out of state is handled as a long distance tow, one flatbed the whole way, tolls counted up front.
Starting in Somerset and ending somewhere else? Give both addresses and get one price.
Call (908) 666-3168Contact dispatchService 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 Somerset County right now?
Whichever of our trucks is nearest gets the job, whether it is sitting in Linden or finishing a drop in Bridgewater, and the window you hear is from that truck.
Which Somerset towns do you reach fastest?
North Plainfield, Watchung and Green Brook, about twenty-five to thirty minutes along Route 22. Bedminster, Hillsborough and Montgomery take the longest.
Do you cover Far Hills and Peapack-Gladstone?
Yes. They sit at the far northwest of the county, so they are a longer run, forty-five minutes or more. A booked time works well if the car is safe.
Can a tow start in Somerset and finish in Morris or Middlesex?
Yes. It is the same booking fee plus the mileage to wherever the car is headed, quoted on the call.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
