24 hour towing in Menlo Park, Edison NJ: the mall deck after the stores lock, the station rows after the last train

The stores close and the lot stays busy for another hour with employees, the restaurants on the ring road and shoppers who came back to a car that will not crank. The deck's height bar stops a rollback, so the driver brings the car down on a wheel-lift or dollies and loads it on the surface. Say which entrance you used, which store you parked nearest, and deck or surface.

The rows along Central Avenue hold cars for a week at a stretch, and the last trains arrive after midnight to a lot with the far ends unlit. A battery that was borderline on Monday is flat by then. Say the lot and the row; the driver calls as he turns off Route 27 and you flash the hazards, and a jump is tried before anything is lifted.

Route 27 through Menlo Park carries late commuter traffic, curb parking and a string of small lots outside the shops. A car dead at the light by the station has nowhere to limp to. If it still creeps, get into a side street or a lot; if not, hazards on and tell dispatch the nearest light and which way you were headed.

Parsonage Road is the way in from Route 1 and the way the truck arrives from Linden. The jughandle at Route 1 stacks up rear-end calls at every hour, and the road past Roosevelt Park is fast and dark. Give the direction and the nearest cross street, and stay behind the curb while you wait.
