24 hour towing on the Route 22 approach from Plainfield, NJ: over the Green Brook, up to the highway and on to I-78

North of downtown, Watchung Avenue and Park Avenue cross the Green Brook into North Plainfield, and Terrill Road climbs along the Scotch Plains line, all of them reaching Route 22 within a few minutes. Past the highway the Watchung ridge rises and I-78 runs along it, with I-287 to the west. This is where Plainfield drivers commute, shop and break down on the way home, and it is also where our trucks spend a lot of their nights. A tow truck near you at any hour.

Divided highway, store lots and the climb over the brook: towing north of Plainfield

Calls from the north side of Plainfield are highway calls: a breakdown on Route 22 eastbound or westbound, a flat in a store lot along the highway, a crash at a jughandle, a car stuck in high water by the Green Brook, all at the same $149 flat booking fee, $129 if you book online.

01

Route 22, both directions

Route 22 is a divided highway with a concrete median, jughandles and store lots along both sides. It is a state road, so we dispatch to the shoulder directly. Tell dispatch eastbound or westbound and the nearest store or cross street.

02

Park Avenue and Watchung Avenue over the Green Brook

Both avenues cross the Green Brook between Plainfield and North Plainfield, and the low ground by the brook floods in heavy rain. Do not drive into standing water. Stop, call from dry ground, and we winch the car out if it is already in.

03

Terrill Road up to the highway

Terrill Road runs north along the Scotch Plains line to Route 22 and is one of the ways our trucks come into Plainfield. That makes it one of the quicker calls we get. Say the nearest cross street and which side of the road you are on.

04

I-78 and I-287

I-78 runs past Watchung to the north and I-287 curves by Piscataway and Bridgewater to the west. Both are interstates we dispatch to directly, and a breakdown on either can be brought back to a shop in Plainfield. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.

FAQ

Route 22 approach: common questions

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

Can you come to the Route 22 shoulder near Plainfield?

Yes, in both directions, direct dispatch. Tell us eastbound or westbound and the nearest store or cross street, and move to the right shoulder if the car still rolls.

I broke down on I-78 near Watchung. Can you tow me to Plainfield?

Yes. I-78 is an interstate we dispatch to directly. Tell us the direction and the last exit, and name the Plainfield shop it should go to.

Is Route 22 faster to reach than the rest of Plainfield?

Often, because our trucks travel Route 22 regularly on their way through Union County. The dispatcher gives you the estimate from the truck that is actually nearest.

The road by the Green Brook is flooded and my car is in the water. What do I do?

Do not restart it. Get out safely, move to high ground and call. We winch it out first and bring it to a shop on the flatbed.
