About Brick City Towing

We're a locally owned, family-run tow company serving Newark and the surrounding Essex County towns. Not a franchise, not a national dispatch app that sells your call to the lowest bidder. When you call (862) 369-7600, you're reaching people who actually live and work here and know the difference between the Ironbound and the North Ward without checking a map.

Fifteen Years On These Streets

Our lead operator, Mike, spent eleven years running a rotator for a heavy-recovery outfit on the Turnpike before he came over to us, so there is very little he hasn't pulled out of a bad spot. That's the kind of experience that matters at 2 a.m. on an icy overpass. We've towed everything from a mayor's stalled sedan (no names) to a jackknifed box truck on Doremus Ave, and we bring the same care to a college kid's dead Corolla as we do to a commercial fleet job.

The Big Names, and Us

We know you've got options. AAA's roadside plan, the app-based services like Honk and Urgently, the outfits that pop up first when you search. Plenty of them are fine. But a national plan often means an hour-plus wait while they find whoever's nearest and cheapest, and the app services tack on their own cut. We ask for a shot at your call because a local truck is usually closer, usually faster, and you can talk to a human. Give us a chance.

A Note From The Owner

I grew up off Ferry Street and spent my twenties working the counter and then the trucks for one of the bigger outfits in the area, and honestly I got tired of watching people get quoted one price on the phone and handed another when the truck showed up. Started Brick City in 2011 with a single rollback I bought used off a guy in Kearny, my cousin riding shotgun on the night calls. We're bigger now but the rule hasn't changed: tell people the truth, show up when you say you will, and treat their car like it's your mother's. That's the whole business.
