Car was picked up on a Friday at 4PM. Tried to get my car released next morning (Saturday) . Paperwork I had been given said that was supposed to be possible. Apparently this garage does not hire actual employees to run the store as I had to wait because they had a family emergency on Saturday. Completely unprofessional that I would have to pay for this reason. They then had the nerve to charge me for 3 days of storage after I had been informed that I would not be charged for the extra 2 days. Owner Tony would not refund my money and stated he “did not have to give me anything” when I requested an email stating the policy for paying on holidays. Don’t trust this greedy establishment.

Was dead at the fuel pump at Pitcher service station with 7 horses on the trailer. Tow came immediately, was helpful beyond my immediate problem and are getting me back on the road. Jimmy and Tony were great. If you’re going to have a breakdown, have it here so they can help you!

Amazing experience with this company. I was in a very difficult situation when my car died on the NJ Turnpike in below-10-degree weather. AAA informed me they don’t cover the Turnpike, so I had to use the Turnpike’s towing company, which I believe is this one. My main priority was getting off the highway safely. Anthony arrived quickly after speaking with me and coordinating with the state police. He immediately began towing my car and explained that, for my safety, it was best to stay inside the vehicle while it was being lifted onto the flatbed. He gave clear instructions and made sure I was safe the entire time, from the highway to the garage. At the garage, he guided me to the office where I met Traci. She was incredibly kind, polite, and helpful. To be honest, I was terrified. It was freezing, and I was worried I would be left waiting outside in the cold if it weren’t for Traci’s compassion and empathy. Even though the office officially closes at 5 PM, they stayed until 7 PM so I could arrange for AAA to tow my car to my mechanic and get an Uber to the nearest train station. Traci refused to accept any payment for staying late and told me she wouldn’t even let her own daughter be out in the freezing cold in a situation like mine. I am forever grateful to this entire team. Without them, I would have been stranded on the side of the highway with my phone about to die and my safety genuinely at risk. I 100% recommend this company and wish them the best of luck. Anyone in a similar situation would be lucky to have this crew help them. Towing price was reasonable as it was a last minute thing and I was informed that I can get reimbursed by triple A so there is no problem there.

This towing company is a rip-off on Highway 95. My car broke down on the highway, and the police called this towing company for me. They initially agreed to tow my car off the highway, but after the police left, they ignored my requests and towed my car directly to their repair shop, even leaving me stranded on the highway. Later, my friend picked me up and took me to their repair shop. When it came time to pay, they charged me $847 for a 13-mile tow. When I questioned their charges, they acted like animals, including the tow truck driver and his boss. I reported it to the police, but in the end, I still had to pay the $847.

We cannot say enough great things about George's!!! Jose picked up our SUV on the NJ turnpike and was so polite and kind! Once at George's, Ashley was just as polite and kind! They both assisted with not only scheduling a diagnostic check on the SUV but also storing the car until we could get it towed back to PA!! We surely did not anticipate this to happen but of all garages and towing businesses, we are happy it was George's!!!

I can't even give them 0 stars which is insane especially after the disrespect and humiliation that occurred. My boyfriend was on his way to work and his car got stuck and this stupid company had to come pick up my car. Not only was the guy rude while picking up his car, he assumed that the reason that he was stuck was because he was getting food. (he happened to be stuck at a mc Donalds). It gets worse though. Once he gets there they charged his $656 dollars TO PICK UP HIS CAR?! then proceeds to laugh at him while he struggles to dig it out.. They purposely parked his car in the back and It sunk into the snow and when he asked for a shovel they refused to help him. Though the situation didn't happen to me, it's incredibly frustrating when things don't get done correctly and people are treated with disrespect. Unfortunately, all of them are WHITEEE and my boyfriend is black and yes I WILL TAKE IT THERE. THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE EVEN IF THE POLICE CALLED THEM OR RECOMMEND THEM. They'll also be hearing from me on the phone.

Wonderful and kind. My car broke down on the turnpike and they were timely getting to me and assisted me with triple a. Shawn, my driver made me laugh which is hard to do when your car breaks down. Don't recommend getting towed but if you are need of one in the area I would recommend them!

We broke down on Turnpike south and AAA is not authorized there so these guys were sent to us. Anthony is a man of few words but he answered all our questions and made sure we got to where we needed to go. Very professional and efficient. These guys do a dangerous job everyday. Please be kind to them, they have families too. Thank you again and be safe!

Was unbelievable kind to me whist I was freshly panicking from my first bad crash. I had all my options explained to me and was even allowed to stay in the shop for several hours past close while waiting for another tow truck to come, even with it being the day before Thanksgiving. Couldn’t be more grateful for the generosity displayed at George’s Garage !

Excellent customer service, the Flex Bus broke down on the 95 turnpike on the way to Newark. Tow truck arrived within minutes of HWY patrol calling it in, we were in a dangerous situation with traffic on both sides. Safety precautions taken by all tow truck operators and Police Officer working together to get us all to safety. Exceptional teamwork, by all no one was harmed or required medical assistance. From a Veteran “Thank you” truly professionals and experts in their field. Have a safe and wonderful holidays.

Absolutely disgusting the way I was spoken to and treated. I was in a horrific car accident, was discharged 6 hours later (thank God) and I needed my belongings. I have no way to get into my house without my keys, or pick up my script without my insurance card. The women working the desk told me she didn’t care and they closed at 430 even though their website clearly says 5pm. Told me who’s going to pay for my kids daycare!!! Disgusting human, disgusting service.

I had to get towed off a bridge today so it wasn’t the best day . However one of the drivers here picked me up and took care of everything. Their driver Shawn alleviated stress rather than adding to it. Shawn went above and beyond even making sure I was familiar with the options I had through insurance and just giving good advice for how to proceed with my situation. I had a really great experience and would call them if i ever found a similar situation. Thanks again Shawn !

My teenage son had truck problems on the Turnpike heading to vacation in Ocean City. George's safely towed him and immediately looked at the truck, fixed it up and got him back on the road in an hour or two. I've never been to George's but am very appreciative of them for helping my son that quickly. Very nice lady on the phone also. Thank you so much!!

Very appreciative of George's Garage & Towing. Had to have my car towed off the NJ Turnpike on a Sunday. Every repair shop was closed and would have been stranded with my 88 year old father. The driver (I'm sorry I didn’t catch his name) helped temporarily patch up the engine shield so we could drive the car and get home. Thank you very much for your kindness and helpfulness!

Had my Travel Trailer Camper towed from the NJTPK via flatbed tow vehicle. Tow operator was very careful and got my camper off the busy road and to the yard via special restricted roads. The garage expertly repaired my camper in less than 24 hours and had me back on the road. Everyone was professional, nice and easy to work with.

3 miles (15 mins ) towing can cost you 517$. Rude personnel and unreasonable prices . When you ask about why i am getting charged twice for towing you get yelled at. Nothing like business. They even said that its prices set by the police station of south Brunswick. I do really want to go and ask to the police station but this business and anything with it doesn’t worth any of my time. Except writing this to show others to not to do any business with them if they don’t want horrible customer service. If you need towing call somewhere else. Hope they change their attitude towards people and stop making up numbers.

Everyone I interacted with from George's Garage & Towing this evening, after I blew out a tire on the NJ turnpike, was helpful, knowledgeable, and patient (especially the tow truck operator, Shaun – took a shot on the spelling, apologies if I got that wrong). With only a couple drivers working the holiday period, they couldn't reasonably get the car all the way back to Philly for me, but Sean (maybe that way?) pointed out that what I'd thought were security lug nuts (for which I didn't have the adapter) were actually just dust covers, aired up my donut spare, and held the light while I changed the wheel. Thanks, all! (I see some other reviews talking about pricing, the authors of which I'm not sure understand the costs of maintaining the equipment used to recover their vehicles. In any case, I was charged the turnpike-mandated $159, which is definitely what one should expect on the turnpike. I'd guess prices may go up, outside the TP, for vehicles in less functional condition.)

Tow truck driver almost crashed into my vehicle throwing me into another lane while looking right at my vehicle and did not care. I had my son in the vehicle.....I went into the office to put a complaint and right away the office personnel was rude and saying I was at fault. I told them to pull the recording from the driver and they said they don't have cameras. And then tells me she bets me $100 that I was at fault. And I responded I bet $100 that I was not to pull the footage from the truck and she told me to get the hell out of the shop......they are extremely rude and bad for business. Will not recommend this company to anyone. UPDATE: Owner of the business calls me about the situation and also was RUDE,IMMATURE, AND ARROGANT ....1st I was told they had no cameras and now they do. 2nd telling me I was the one in a rush and cut his driver off. How would it be possible if I was pushed to another lane and the tow truck took off.....3rd telling me they have a bigger truck so they get right away. What happened to training your drivers to drive safe and always look twice ect....I see how horrible of a business this is and why they have low ratings and the staff is just as rude. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!

While on our trip to New York, our car got a flat. They wasted no time getting to us and were very kind the whole interaction, while waiting for us to get an uber to our destination (at 10pm during closing) they did whatever possible to make us feel comfortable. When the uber arrived, they took a picture of the license plate and wished us safe travels while letting us know they were looking out for us. Being two young girls in an unknown state, we couldn’t have been in better hands.

The man named Woodrow who towed my car was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely helpful and literally saved my friend and I off of the turnpike. He even waited at the facility after hours with us to make sure we got into our Uber safely. The woman inside (didn’t catch her name) was also extremely kind and helpful! Thank you so much!!!

Amazing, helpful service. Had a tire blow out on the NJ Turnpike and Avis Roadside Assistance was unable to send a tow truck. George showed up, got us to the shop, and handled everything professionally and efficiently. Without his help, we would literally have been stranded on the Turnpike. Thank you!

The staff was polite friendly and knowledgeable. I was told to bring the car in no later than 8am. They were very behind on other work they were doing and my car was not looked at until after 1pm, which then caused me to have to leave it overnight. However they did great work, the car running well, they gave a warranty for the part as well. And I would definitely use them again. The price was fair also. The worker explained in detail what the job required.

Very unprofessional, rude and racist. Wish I could give this a review with no stars! Got into an accident on rt 130. The cops called Georges to tow my car off the highway which I was okay with. Went to Georges to retrieve my car and have a different tow company, which I work for, come pick it up. When receiving the bill from the girls behind the desk, I realized there were charges on there that were not done to my car. I asked the girl very nicely, "why am I being charged for these things if these services were not done to my car?", once again I work for a tow company so I know how it goes. Immediately she got irate and defensive because she knows it was the wrong thing to do and called the owner. When the owner came to the window, he was very rude and nasty to start off. I then asked him, "why am I being charged for services that weren't done to my car?" He told me the services were done to my car as if he was there on the scene and would not budge with him ripping me off. A 5-minute ride down the street was costing me nearly $600 because of added fraudulent services, when the bill shouldn't have been any more than maybe $300. I tried to explain to him that I work for a tow company and there is a police ordinance they must follow but he did not care. At this time, I am getting upset because he is really trying to make a living ripping people off and I let him know this isn't right. He started shouting racist blurs and told me I couldn't afford to get my lawyer involved because I have no money when I told him I would be calling my lawyer. The nastiest person I have encountered recently. Hope I never have to deal with this company again. Please avoid them at all costs. The worst business ever! They have no remorse for the wrong they are doing. So glad I got my car out of there!

I'm really happy! I took my car to this shop to get an estimate for a new alternator because I called around different places in the area (I'm not from around here). Their price was right in the range I expected, and they were actually the most reasonable shop in the area. They fixed my car super fast, like within a few hours. The best part is that everyone there is so friendly and you can tell they're not trying to rip you off. I 100% recommend them!

Aweful business under horrible management . I’m not sure how they still stay afloat . Bugs all over the place , Aswell as overpriced rates . 115$ per hour of labor to have your car swarmed with roaches. Update: after the clerk realized this review they then tried to with hold my vehicle . And I had to call the police to have them release it .

Prompt, courteous, professional, competent, personable and reliable. Such are the adjectives to describe this outfit. They are a very busy shop and deal with all manner of regulations when dealing with Turnpike calls. So they are stressed. But they responded promptly when called out by NJ State Troopers. Then had us on the hook, towed 20 miles, and off the hook again at their shop within an hour-at 4 am on a rainy night. Come daylight, we were fixed and back on the road before 11 am. Thanks to their tow guys and mechanics.

My truck likes breaking down in that part of NJ I guess. 2 times in 2 years George's garage has towed my Car Carrier off of the highway. Both times the driver was a nice as could be! Rates were more than fair for services rendered. I highly recommend George's Garage for towing needs of commercial trucks!
