Proudly a Family-Run, Woman-Owned Company
Truchan Towing & Recovery holds a special place in Jersey City’s towing history.
Born and raised in Jersey City, Anthony P. Truchan, Jr. originally founded what is now Truchan Truchan Towing & Recovery as Truchan Brothers Auto & Towing in 1985 alongside his brother, Peter Truchan.
From operating out of his family home garage in high school to purchasing a property on Colden Street, Anthony made a name for himself as a well-known towing icon in Jersey City, Hudson County, and the tri-state area as a whole. His one tow truck turned into a massive fleet of 20 trucks, and his one-man garage employed a staff of 26.
Sadly, Anthony unexpectedly passed away in April 2019. Despite never driving a tow truck or even changing a tire in her life, Anthony’s dedicated and loyal wife, Grace, stepped up to the plate and took over full ownership and management of his towing company.
Grace, a 21-year breast cancer survivor, took on the business just like she took on her cancer — with grit, determination, and a willingness to see the company not only survive, but thrive in the future.
Informed by her past work on Wall Street, after only 11 months on the job, Grace managed to keep the business afloat during the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the hardest economic periods for small-businesses in U.S. history.
A well-maintained fleet of five tow trucks, and a dedicated and exceptionally trained team, underpin Truchan Towing & Recover’s ongoing expansion and success.

“Excellent service! We are from out of town and had a flat tire. The tow truck arrived within the hour and met us where we’d left the vehicle. The driver was friendly and professional. It was a fairly quick and easy trip to the tire shop. The driver gave us some pointers about the city and where to eat or walk to while we waited for the car to be serviced. Great service, would definitely recommend!”

“One of our vans broke down and after calling several other tow companies that were recommended I called Truchan Towing. The gentleman took my info and said a truck will be there within 30 minutes. 10 minutes later the truck showed up, loaded the van and off to the mechanic it went. I spent more time calling other companies then it took for the driver to hook up the van and get rolling. VERY efficient company and we will call them first going forward.”

“I must say I have utilized the services of Truchan Towing on a few occasions and both times I was shocked by their pleasantry. The woman who answers the phone was kind, understanding, and very helpful. The truck arrived in a timely manner, the interior was clean, and the driver was cordial. Above all else I received timely and professional service. If I ever find myself in a pickle in the Jersey City/ Northern area I will not hesitate but call Truchan Towing.”
