Tow truck in Sunnyside, Linden, NJ: driveways, hedges and the flatbed most of these cars need

A large share of the cars on these streets send power to all four wheels or carry a battery under the floor, and every one of them goes on a flatbed with all four tires off the road. The driver backs the deck to the apron, winches the car up and straps it by the tires.

Say the model when you call so the flatbed is the first truck sent, not the second.

The battery that gave up overnight is the most common Sunnyside call there is. A jump is one flat price with no miles and it is what the dispatcher sends first. If the battery will not take a charge, the flatbed is already there and the tow to a St. Georges Avenue garage is added at the flat fee.

When the flatbed cannot back straight in, the driver pulls the car to the street with the winch or a set of dollies and loads it there. Nothing scrapes, the hedge survives and the neighbor's car is left where it was.

Say whether the driveway is shared and whether anything is parked behind you.

The first icy morning of the year produces a slide-off on the streets along the park, and a winch-out is quoted first; if the car drives afterward, that is the bill. Roselle is over the line and a garage on either side is a short tow.
