Reliable & Affordable

High quality, reliable repairs, completed quickly.

When your business depends on reliable trailer service, you need to make sure you are doing proper maintenance.

Many people think trailer maintenance is ensuring your tires are in good shape. While your tires are essential, they are only one part of your trailer maintenance. Our program inspects your whole trailer, noting any areas of concern and handling maintenance and repairs.

Types of Trailers We Service

We service trucks and trailers to handle both stand-alone and body trailers. We can help you whether you have a van, refrigerated, box, or detached trailer. The types of trailer

Curtain-side
Beverage Trailers
Conestogas
Step Decks
Tankers
Low Boys
Flatbeds

If you can haul it, we can inspect it.

Trailer Inspections

No matter what type of trailers you operate, they are essential to your business and a significant investment. Minimizing downtime and ensuring safety are our top two goals. Our inspections will examine your power equipment, lighting, and brakes. What we inspect depends on the type of trailer. Some things we look at include

Wiring Harnesses
Wiring Connectors
Light Fixtures
Switches
Relays
Batteries
Compressors
Refrigeration Units
Lift Gates
Suspension
Tires
Brakes
Axles
Hydraulic Systems
Springs
Hangars
Landing Gear
Locks
Air Leaks
Doors
Rollers and Hinges

Structural Inspections

We focus on examining the structural integrity of the trailer. We look to see if there are any damaged beams, undercarriage, or body damage. Maintenance involves removing dirt, dust, and grease to examine the trailer for corrosion. If we find corrosion, broken wood decking, or damage to the ceiling, we will replace or patch it.

Trailer Repairs

We offer comprehensive services for trailer repairs. We can fix the moving parts, heating and AC, brakes, hydraulics, wheels, and electronics. In addition, we can handle structural repairs. Our repair services include fabrication, welding, and painting.

DOT Inspections

In addition to maintenance, we also handle DOT inspections. We can take your maintenance issues and repairs, then, once they are complete, provide a DOT inspection sticker.

Need maintenance for your trailer? Contact us today. We can schedule routine maintenance, repairs, or your DOT inspection. We can also handle all of your truck maintenance and repair needs. At B&L Towing, we can keep you on the road whether you are an owner-operator or manage an entire fleet of trucks and trailers.

Real Reviews from Satisfied Customers

Eddie R.

Patrick helped me get my truck back on the road within a very reasonable time frame. I am content with the workmanship and the overall experience. Thanks Patrick!!

Robbie F.

SUNSHINE TRANSPORTATION LLC...Ive owned 115 trucks over 30 years in business. Operated a 33,000 square foot shop of my own. As a truck driver, business owner and a mechanic. I found these guys fair, responsive and competent. Lost a radiator in one of my 2024 cascadias. As someone who was taught to build a truck before my father would let me drive one. This is not a big deal. Most shops and people try and tell you what a big job it is. It's just a matter of doing it. They never once said it was anything but a simple fix. I appreciate their honesty. And promptness of getting us going. Start to finish same day service. I will go back 100%

Tim K.

These guys are top-notch professionals.New Jersey is lucky to have them.Thanks for the fine work you did on my trailer. Very much appreciated.

GMG Express, I.

Good guys with Fair prices ,did a heavy duty truck and trailer for us . Professional and fast ,A+

Samir S.

One of the best in NJ. Prompt and courteous service at reasonable price. Highly recommended

Neil S.

These guys are excellent, we had multiple big trucks parked in our private lot. Only b/L had the right equipment over night to tow such vehicles away to clear our lot. Thank you so much guys:)

Mikki B.

We lost our brakes ( blew a brake line ) on our way home from vacation on the NJ Turnpike. We limped into the rest area and B&L came to tow us. Nobody carried the part, so they MADE the brake line in house! The brakes are former than they have been since I owned it. They did a fantastic job bleeding the lines. Everyone from the guy who towed us, to Christina behind the desk, to Wayne who did the service advising/ managing, to the gentleman who did the work were 100% professional, pleasant and honest. The repair cost was quite reasonable too. And let me just add, while we were there, we saw people come in and completely try to lie, manipulate yell and scream at them, and they never lost their cool. Not once. Meanwhile, they let us hang there in the ac with our dogs, were kind to us and our pets and were just aces all the way with us from start to finish. I cannot thank them enough for helping us and being kind to us as well as their expert repair job, that got us home safely afterward.

The caring and service was above and beyond! Mike T saw my daughter in an accident and calmed her (and me) and stayed with her until emergency services arrived. Thank you Mike for being such an amazing human being!!! Amanda in the office could not have been nicer both on phone and in person. Marco was attentive and empathetic while we retrieved personal items from vehicle. Great team and wonderful people!

Justin came out to try and fix my passenger side mirror after some idiot knocked it off on the GWB today and did an amazing job making it more secure than I thought possible, a truly clever guy and so polite and friendly.Thank you Justin.

Pedro C.

Sometimes bad reviews doesn’t tell the whole story , I was a little worry to come to this place because of the bad reviews but to my surprise it was quite the opposite! I took my truck in thinking I was gonna get violated with the prices LOL but my guy Mateo took care of my truck and the price was fair and much better compared to any other place around the area that won’t work you in unless you call them for road side assistance ! If you ever need something fixed ask for mateo great mechanic ! And the receptionist was great . Good customer service

Jojo

B&L was awesome, Justin even found me, when i gave the wrong Mile marker(sorry again justin 😞)……he was fast, and knew what the problem was as soon as he opened the hood……i recommend they’re service to anyone……and one more thing……Justin even came to me, after falling off a 13 story latter!……Messed up leg, and still working……i tell ya, that’s dedication and a man, that’s not afraid of hard work…..thanks Justin!

Sara R.

Awesome service 👏

Zachary H.

B&L is amazing!They truly saved my day... My truck broke down on a trip from Virginia to Upstate New York for an important once in a lifetime medical conference. They sent a tow driver immediately, scrambled to diagnose a broken/rare starter, found a replacement and fixed it in less than 3.5hrs! I was back on the road in time for the conference... I could not be happier.Special kudos to JOSE who was the face of the company as the tow driver. He was polite, professional, funny and kept me calm and at ease. He put me in touch with some of the managers (WAYNE and PATRICK) who heard my story and jumped to the rescue. I can not thank you all enough. You all deserve praise -and a raise! 😄 💸$💰Thanks again!Zach

B and L has great service the dispatcher was able to send out Justin the mechanic on Labor Day to help me figure out why my truck wouldn’t start and instead of giving up he went out his way to test everything to figure out the problem.

My wife had an accident on the Garden state parkway and the vehicle was towed to the B&L yard in Carteret. They driver was super nice and extremely helpful. The next day I went to their yard to sign the release for the vehicle and was met by staff that was caring and friendly. I am glad that B&L has the NJGSP contact because you know you're in good hands. A lot of tow companies are the exact opposite!

Mary H.

I broke down at dusk at mile marker 135 on GSP southbound last night. AAA transferred me to B&L because they can’t service the parkway. I had been able to park my truck up into the hill on the shoulder but was still uneasy with cars flying by at high speeds. Dennis called me, asked for my exact position and was with me less than 10 minutes later. Dennis’ demeanor and voice calmed me down immediately. He was professional, asked questions about what happened and explained everything he found while getting the truck up on the bed of the tow truck. Dennis stayed with me until AAA showed up and explained the situation to the driver. I will call and ask for Dennis to help me if I end up off the road again. I highly recommend B&L and Dennis.

Andrew R.

Nice lot staff if your car was towed there. Very friendly and made me feel better about the situation that occurred.

Catherine V.

Big Juan and Ramon were very professional, understanding and courteous. I was injured due to the car crash. They helped me transport all my belongings from the wreck car to the rental. This towing company is very professional and respectful to all their clients. Highly recommend them.

I cannot recommend this towing company enough, you are going to be especially lucky is Dennis S is your driver. I was driving with my mom down the New Jersey turnpike and our rental car (thrifty) broke down. We were unable to contact Thrifty customer service but Dennis was able communicate with us directly. He arrived and got us out of the car safety, then drove us to a great location where we could attempt to connect with Thrifty’s assistance. Dennis provided the best service we could have asked for and handled this extremely stressful situation with thoughtfulness and kindness. I am so grateful that we were in such great hands. Thank you again!

P S

I broke down on the Parkway today so needless to say it wasn’t a good day for me! However the one silver lining of that otherwise bad experience was running into Dennis S of B and L towing! Dennis S was not only extremely professional but he was also a great gentleman and a scholar of all things automotive. If I ever break down again on the parkway which I hope never happens I hope I have the good fortune of running into Dennis S once again! He did a really great job!
