Towing in Hawthorne, Haledon, Prospect Park and North Haledon, NJ: the boroughs above Paterson

Goffle Road winds through Hawthorne beside Goffle Brook Park, and Lafayette Avenue is the borough's main shopping street. Most calls are neighborhood jobs: a car that will not start, a flat, a short tow to a local mechanic.

Give the street and the nearest cross street or park entrance. A jump or tire change is one flat price and often ends the call right there.

Route 208 crosses the edge of Hawthorne at Goffle Road on its way northwest into Bergen County. It is a fast divided road, and a stall in the left lane is a real hazard.

Our trucks work Route 208 directly. Tell the dispatcher the direction and the last exit or overpass, and wait off the road.

Belmont Avenue runs north from Paterson through Haledon and up into North Haledon, a steady climb with shops at the bottom and houses higher up. In winter the hills make for slide-offs and stuck cars.

A car in a ditch or against a curb may need a winch before it can be loaded. You hear that before the driver starts.

Prospect Park is a compact borough squeezed between Haledon and Paterson, with dense streets and little off-street parking. Many residents work in Paterson and park on the street overnight.

Say which block and whether the car is blocking a driveway. Tows usually go to shops a few minutes away, with the mileage quoted first.
