24 hour towing on the Busch and Livingston campuses in Piscataway, NJ: after the final whistle and after the last experiment

The stadium lots fill hours before kickoff and empty in one long crawl afterward. Tailgate radios drain batteries and dome lights stay on all afternoon, so a handful of cars always refuse to start when the crowd heads home.

Call early, give the lot and the row, and the dispatcher sends the truck as traffic clears. A jump is one flat price; a tow happens only if the battery will not hold.

Basketball games and concerts on the Livingston side let out late, and the lots off Avenue E and Joyce Kilmer Avenue empty fast. Keys left on a seat and batteries that faded during a cold evening are the usual problems.

Say which side of the arena you parked on. The driver comes in by River Road or Route 18 and calls when he reaches the lot.

Frelinghuysen Road and Bartholomew Road run past buildings where the lights stay on long after classes end. By the time a researcher walks out at 1 a.m., the car may have been sitting in the cold for fifteen hours.

Wait inside the building if you want, and tell the dispatcher which door you will come out of. The driver calls from the lot entrance.

The roads near the Rutgers Ecological Preserve and the outer campus lots are dark and have little traffic at night. A car that slid off a curve or got a flat out here is a winch or a tire change before it is a tow.

Stay in the car with the doors locked while you wait, with the hazards on. Give the nearest building or road sign so the driver finds you quickly.
