Truck repair and towing in South Orange, NJ
South Orange sits where I-78, I-280, and US-22 meet, which is why most breakdown calls here come off a highway rather than a side street. A truck stopped on one of those is a traffic problem before it is a repair problem, so the first thing our dispatcher asks is which road you are on and which way you are pointed.
The trucks that cover South Orange also run Maplewood, Irvington, Orange, and New York City, out to about 23 miles at Queens. So a call from the edge of Essex County reaches the same people as one from the middle of town, and you are not handed off to a different dispatcher because of a county line.
