24 hour towing in downtown Plainfield, NJ: Front Street after closing, the station lots and the blocks around City Hall

Front Street is the heart of the city, crossed by Park Avenue and Watchung Avenue, with the Raritan Valley station on North Avenue a block over, City Hall on Watchung Avenue and the Plainfield Public Library up Park Avenue. Restaurants, lounges and churches keep people downtown well after dark, and the municipal lots behind the storefronts empty out slowly. A tow truck near you at any hour, and a driver who knows which lots have one way in and one way out.

Closing time, the late train and the municipal lots: towing in downtown Plainfield

Downtown Plainfield calls tend to arrive after ten: a battery drained by dome lights in a municipal lot, keys locked inside on Front Street, a car hemmed in on a side street, a commuter car that sat all day at the North Avenue station, all at the same $149 flat booking fee, $129 if you book online.

01

Front Street between Park and Watchung

This is Route 28 through the middle of town, lined with storefronts and traffic lights a block apart. A car that quits at a light here blocks a lane on the busiest stretch in the city, so it is moved first and diagnosed after. Tell dispatch the nearest cross street and which direction you were headed.

02

The station on North Avenue

The downtown Raritan Valley stop sits just north of Front Street, and commuters leave cars there from early morning until the late trains. By midnight a tired battery has given up. Name the lot and the row, keep your phone on, and expect a jump before anyone talks about a tow.

03

City Hall, the library and the side streets

City Hall on Watchung Avenue and the library on Park Avenue draw evening meetings and events, and the side streets around them fill with parked cars. A car boxed in on one of those blocks gets lifted at the front or rolled out on dollies. Give the street and the side, and the driver chooses the easiest way in.

04

Lounges, churches and late dinners

Downtown's restaurants and the big churches nearby send crowds back to their cars at odd hours. Lockouts and dead batteries are the common calls, and both are fixed on the spot for one flat price. Stay close to the car so the driver can find you quickly.

Stuck downtown after closing? Name the lot or the block. The truck comes straight down Park Avenue.

FAQ

Downtown: common questions

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.

My car will not start in a downtown municipal lot. Can you come tonight?

Yes. Tell dispatch which lot and roughly where you parked in it. Most of these are batteries, and a jump clears them for less than a tow.

Do you tow from the station lots on North Avenue?

Yes, at any hour. Say which lot and which row, and stay near the car or keep your phone on so the driver can reach you.

A car stalled in a lane on Front Street. How fast can you clear it?

A car blocking a Front Street lane goes to the top of the list. Get out on the sidewalk side and call; the driver loads from the traffic side to reopen the lane quickly.

How long from Linden to downtown Plainfield at night?

About 25 minutes from the yard when a truck starts there. Most nights a truck is already on Route 22 or I-78, a short run down Park Avenue, and the estimate is taken from that truck.
