24 hour towing in Clara Barton, Edison NJ: the hospital garage at eleven, Amboy Avenue and the streets by the Metuchen line

The decks on James Street fill at seven and empty at eleven, and the same three problems come with every turnover: a battery that quit, keys locked inside, a tire that picked up a screw on the way in. Tell dispatch the deck and the level. The driver checks in with security, meets you at the car, and tries the roadside fix before anything goes on a truck.

Amboy Avenue is the spine of Clara Barton and the road the truck uses from Route 27 or Route 1. Curb parking on both sides, bus stops and a lot of late traffic to and from the hospital. If the car dies in the lane and still creeps, get it to the curb or onto a driveway apron, then give the nearest cross street.

Tight lots, cars on both curbs, and no-starts before the early shift. The driver works from the traffic side while you wait on the sidewalk. Tell dispatch which side of the street the car is on so the truck enters the block the right way.

The residential grid around the hospital holds a lot of nurses' and residents' cars parked on the street for a shift. Lockouts and dead batteries at 11:30 p.m. are the common calls, and both are one flat roadside price. A car that has to go is taken to the shop you name, not a yard.
