Tow truck in downtown Bayonne: one-way cross streets, Broadway's curb, and the truck that fits between two bumpers

The older core of the grid, from 8th Street north to 22nd. Broadway's storefronts and bus stops, the numbered streets parked solid from Avenue A to Avenue E, the 22nd Street light rail stop at the top, and the 16th Street Park with the waterfront walkway on Newark Bay at the bottom of the hill.

Why the wheel-lift is downtown Bayonne's tow truck, and where the rollback waits for it

Downtown's cross streets are one lane wide with cars on both curbs, so the wheel-lift goes in first nearly every time, backs into the gap, lifts the car and walks it to Broadway or an avenue; a front-wheel-drive car carries on from there, and an AWD or electric car is transferred to the rollback on the avenue, all inside the same $149 booking fee, $129 when you book online.

01

The numbered streets between Avenue A and Avenue E

One-way, parked nose to tail, with a fire hydrant gap every so often and not much else. A rollback that tries to load here shuts the block. The wheel-lift slides under the front or the rear, lifts, and backs the car out to the avenue in a few minutes.

Say the street, the avenue you are nearest and which curb, and the driver comes in from the correct end of the one-way.

02

Broadway from 8th to 22nd Street

The shopping spine, one moving lane each way with curb parking, bus stops and delivery trucks. A dead car in a lane holds up the buses, so the wheel-lift is the fast answer. A car boxed in at the curb by a double-parker is the same truck walking it into the lane.

If the car then needs the rollback, it meets them on a cross street where there is room.

03

The 16th Street Park and the Newark Bay walkway

The lot at the park, the fields and the walkway along the bay at the foot of 16th Street. A car that will not start after a walk is a jump at one flat price.

A car that has left the lot edge for the soft ground near the water is a winch-out on the rollback, pulled straight back; if it drives afterward, that is the entire charge.

04

The 22nd Street light rail stop

A street-level stop with curb parking around it rather than a big lot, so the commuter cars are on the numbered streets nearby. A dead battery at seven in the evening is a jump. A car that must go to a shop rides the wheel-lift off the block and, if its drivetrain calls for it, the rollback from the avenue.

Boxed in on a downtown cross street? Say the street and the avenue. The wheel-lift walks it out.

FAQ

Downtown Bayonne: common questions

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

Can a flatbed load my car on a downtown cross street?

Rarely, because there is no room between the parked cars to tilt the deck without blocking the street. The wheel-lift walks the car to Broadway or the avenue first, and the flatbed loads it there. The transfer is inside the booking fee.

Which truck comes to downtown Bayonne most?

The wheel-lift, because it fits the one-way streets and most downtown cars are going a short distance. The rollback comes for AWD, electric and damaged cars and waits on the avenue while the wheel-lift brings the car out.

My car is dead on Broadway and the buses are stuck behind me. How fast can you clear it?

The wheel-lift is the truck for this: two minutes on the hook and the lane is open. If the car rolls at all, coast it into a bus stop or a curb gap first so nothing has to wait.

How does the truck find me on a one-way street?

Say the numbered street, the nearest avenue and which curb you are on. The driver enters from the correct end of the one-way and pulls up behind or ahead of the car depending on which gap is open.
