Three Reasons Newark Drivers Call Brick City First

We Actually Answer

Nights, snowstorms, 3 a.m. on a Sunday. A real person in Newark picks up, not a call center in another state that dispatches whoever's cheapest. You get a name and a truck number.

Upfront Pricing

You hear the price before the truck leaves the yard. No mystery "gate fees," no padded mileage. If a private lot towed you, we'll tell you what the state actually lets them charge.

Your Car, Handled Right

Flatbeds for the AWD and low cars, soft straps on the wheels, no chains dragged across your bumper. Fifteen years of hauling everything from Civics to box trucks off these streets.

Newark's Around-the-Clock Tow & Recovery Crew

We started in 2011 with one rollback and a lot of long nights, and we've been running a full towing service across Essex County ever since.

What We Tow & Fix Around Newark

Flatbed tow truck loading a car in Newark NJ

Flatbed Towing

A flatbed is the safest way to move most cars, and it's what we reach for by default. The whole vehicle rides up on the bed, wheels off the ground, so there's no wear on the transmission and nothing scraping the road. All-wheel-drive crossovers, lowered coupes, classics, EVs, and anything with a dead axle belong on a flatbed. We run two rollbacks out of Newark and can usually have one to you inside half an hour.

Heavy duty tow truck towing a box truck in Newark

Heavy Duty & Truck Towing

Box truck died on Frelinghuysen Ave? Dump truck stuck at a job site? Our heavy wrecker handles the big stuff, box trucks, buses, RVs, tractors, and loaded commercial vehicles that a standard rollback can't touch. For truck towing in Newark, tell dispatch the vehicle's weight and whether it's loaded so we send the right rig the first time. We do fleet and roadside DOT recovery for local companies too.

Accident recovery tow in Newark NJ

Accident & Collision Recovery

A landlord on Bergen Street called us last winter after a wreck left two cars blocking the whole intersection during the morning rush. We cleared both, swept the glass, and had traffic moving in under twenty minutes. After a collision we work with you and the police, get the vehicle off the road safely, and haul it to the body shop or storage of your choice. Insurance-friendly paperwork, no runaround.

Winch out recovery tow truck in Newark

Winch-Outs & Recovery

Slid off into the mud along the Passaic? Backed into a ditch off a service road? Dropped a wheel over a curb in a snowbank? We winch vehicles out of ruts, ditches, snow and soft shoulders without adding new damage. One thing we learned the hard way: we don't do winch-outs on the river mudflats anymore after a truck of ours sank to the frame down there in 2015. Anywhere with solid ground, though, we'll get you out.

Roadside assistance jump start in Newark NJ

Roadside Assistance

Not every call needs a tow. Dead battery, flat tire, keys locked in the car, or you ran the tank dry on the way to the airport, we fix a lot of these right on the spot and you drive away. Every truck carries a jump pack, a plug kit and a floor jack, a case of bottled water, and a couple of phone chargers because half the people we help are stranded with a dead phone too.

Car lockout service technician in Newark

Lockouts, Jump Starts & Fuel

Locked out with the engine running and the kids inside? That jumps the line, call and say so. We pop standard car doors with proper lockout tools, no coat hangers, no broken window trim. We also jump dead batteries, bring gas or diesel when you run out, and swap on your spare when you catch a nail on Broad Street. Simple stuff, done fast, so you're not stuck waiting on a two-hour roadside-plan queue.

Also available: local car towing, long-distance transport, motorcycle towing, 24-hour emergency towing, private-property & police-ordered towing, and straight-up cheap local tows with published rates.

What a Tow Usually Costs in Newark

Nobody likes a tow bill that's a mystery until the truck shows up. Here's the ballpark so you can plan. These are typical ranges for consensual tows you call in yourself, final price depends on distance, vehicle and time of day, and we confirm it on the phone first.

ServiceTypical Newark Range
Local tow (first 5–10 miles)$95 – $150
Each additional mile$3 – $6
Jump start$65 – $95
Flat tire change (your spare)$65 – $95
Car lockout$70 – $110
Fuel delivery (plus fuel)$65 – $95
Winch-out / recoveryfrom $125
Heavy-duty (per hour)quoted per job

After-hours, holiday and severe-weather calls run higher. Private-property (non-consensual) tows are governed by New Jersey's Predatory Towing Prevention Act, which caps fees and storage. See our Newark towing rates page for the full breakdown.

What Newark Drivers Say

★★★★★

Battery died in the Whole Foods lot downtown, guy had me running in ten minutes. Didn't even need a tow.

– Marisol T., Downtown
★★★★★

Showed up about 15 min later than they quoted, which had me a little annoyed, but the driver called ahead to say he hit traffic on 280, knocked ten bucks off, and got my Altima to the shop no problem. Fair guys.

– Andre W., Vailsburg
★★★★★

Called three places after my truck broke down on Frelinghuysen loaded with product. Brick City was the only one who had a wrecker big enough and actually gave me a price on the phone. Saved my whole delivery day.

– Sal, Ironbound

Newark Towing FAQ

How much does a tow cost in Newark?
For a standard local tow inside Newark, most drivers pay somewhere in the $95 to $150 range, plus a few dollars a mile once you get past the first ten miles or so. Late nights, weekends and holidays run higher because there are fewer trucks out. We tell you the price on the phone before a truck rolls, so nothing on the invoice is a surprise. If your car was towed off private property, New Jersey caps what a company can charge, more on that below.
How fast can you get to me?
In the city itself, usually 20 to 35 minutes. If you're on Route 21, the Turnpike extension or somewhere off I-280 at rush hour it can stretch a bit, and we'll give you a real number when you call instead of a fake "we're five minutes away."
Are you open right now?
Yes. We run 24 hours, every day, holidays included. Rosa or one of the night dispatchers answers the phone after midnight.
My car got towed from a private lot in Newark. What are my rights?
New Jersey's Predatory Towing Prevention Act limits what a private-property tower can charge and requires proper signage and notice. A non-consensual fee is considered excessive if it runs more than 25% above the company's normal consensual rate. Storage is billed in full 24-hour blocks, not per hour. If you think you were overcharged you can file with the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs. We are an independent tow company, not the Newark Police impound, but we're happy to point you in the right direction.
Do you take my car anywhere, or just your own yard?
Wherever you want it. Your mechanic, the dealership, your driveway in Vailsburg, a body shop in the Ironbound, another town. It's your vehicle. We don't play the "it has to go to our lot" game that the private-property outfits pull.
Can you tow a lifted truck, a lowered car, or an AWD vehicle?
Yes. That's what the flatbeds are for. All-wheel drive and low-clearance cars really should ride on a flatbed so the drivetrain doesn't get chewed up, and we carry skates and low-profile ramps for the slammed stuff.
