Flatbed tow for Teslas, Subarus, AWDs, lowered cars, luxury, exotics, motorcycles, and anything banged up. Hydraulic deck, soft wheel straps, no chains on paint. Dispatched from our Kew Gardens HQ.
Elmhurst is 12 minutes from our Kew Gardens yard via Queens Boulevard and Woodhaven Boulevard. The Queens Center Mall and Queens Place Mall sit at the geographic center of Queens — and their multi-level parking decks produce more flatbed extraction calls than any other single location in the borough. Beyond the malls, Broadway commercial density, Grand Avenue residential blocks, and Queens Boulevard high-rises round out the Elmhurst flatbed dispatch map.
Elmhurst vehicle mix runs practical-family — AWD Hondas, Toyotas, and Subarus in the residential blocks off Broadway and Grand Avenue, with rising Tesla and luxury German presence in the Queens Boulevard high- rises. Queens Center Mall's parking deck regularly produces AWD and EV dead-battery calls from weekend shoppers whose cars sat through a six-hour mall visit in cold or hot weather. All AWD and EV mandate flatbed — no wheel-lift substitution.
Queens Boulevard also produces service-road stalls where flatbed is the right call because wheel-lift rigging during peak-hour traffic creates more disruption than solution. Accident recovery workflow handles the collision tows.
Dispatch asks vehicle make, exact pickup address (including mall parking deck level if applicable), and destination. Queens Center and Queens Place mall pickups require security check-in and deck-clearance verification — we handle that at dispatch. Fare quoted before truck rolls. Driver arrives, photographs every panel, customer signs. Deck tilts, straps through tires, vehicle rides wheels-up to destination. Photos at drop texted.
Queens Center Mall's parking deck is one of the busiest in the region and produces a predictable flow of flatbed calls — dead batteries on upper decks, AWD and EV stranded after cold snaps, collision recoveries from the deck-to-deck ramps. Mall security coordinates service-vehicle access at the ground-level entrance. Our driver checks in, provides pickup reference, and extracts the vehicle from its parked deck level.
For upper decks with low clearance that a full flatbed cannot enter, we roll the vehicle down via wheel-lift to a lower level with adequate clearance and transfer to flatbed. Customer pays standard flatbed fare; we absorb the internal-logistics complexity.
FWD or RWD sedan, short local move → wheel-lift at $99 base, fifty dollars cheaper. Commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs → heavy-duty wrecker. On-scene solvable battery/tire → roadside assistance.

Fare quoted before truck rolls. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
Elmhurst drops head to body shops along Queens Boulevard, mechanics in neighboring Corona or Rego Park, manufacturer service centers on Long Island, and customer home addresses across Queens. Out-of-region runs quoted as long-distance tows.
Elmhurst AWD stock runs Honda, Toyota, and Subaru family SUVs — practical rather than luxury. Tesla count has grown in the Queens Boulevard high-rises over the last several years. Queens Center Mall deck produces a disproportionate share of EV flatbed calls — long mall visits plus cold or hot weather equals dead 12V batteries. Tow-mode engagement and manufacturer override procedures apply to every EV dispatch.
Standard written authorization plus photos on every dispatch. Vehicle ID, pickup address (including mall deck level for Queens Center or Queens Place), drop destination, quoted fare, pre-existing damage noted. Mall security check-in logged for audit. At drop, re-photograph, confirm delivery, text customer photos and receipt.
The first difference is Queens Center and Queens Place mall deck volume. Our drivers know both mall layouts, the security check-in procedures, and the clearance-by-level map for the parking decks. That institutional knowledge saves time on every dispatch.
The second difference is the Queens Boulevard service-road pattern. Elmhurst sits at a major service-road transition, and vehicles stall in patterns that our drivers recognize and plan around.
The third difference is practical-family AWD volume. Elmhurst dispatches run heavy on Honda, Toyota, and Subaru family SUVs — not luxury, but still flatbed- mandated. We run the same paint-safe discipline regardless of vehicle value. Call (347) 539-9726 for an Elmhurst flatbed.

Flatbed Towing is one piece of what we do in Elmhurst. If the situation turns out to be different than you first thought — the battery won't jump so you need a tow, the accident was bigger than a roadside fix, the vehicle is heavier than a standard flatbed can carry — we switch you to the right service on the same call. No second dispatch fee. Other Elmhurst services you can ask for by name:
Elmhurst sits next to several other Queens neighborhoods we run every day. If you're right on the border of two zip codes, either of these flatbed towing pages might apply — the dispatcher figures it out when you call.
We are licensed and insured for commercial towing in New York State, operating on a strict consent-only basis — driver-requested or insurance-dispatched only. That means we never hook a vehicle without written authorization on scene from the vehicle's owner or authorized operator. No blocked-driveway non-consent tows, no predatory dispatches, no police-rotation non-consent work. If you don't want the tow, the tow doesn't happen.
New York State law also gives you the right to choose your own body shop after an accident. No tow operator, officer, or insurance adjuster can force you to a specific vendor, network, or preferred shop. Elmhurst customers frequently pick their own mechanics, family shops, or manufacturer dealers rather than whatever the insurance carrier recommended first. We deliver where you tell us to, every time, with timestamped drop-off photos as proof of delivery. Full detail in the JG Towing FAQ.

Typical range in Queens and Nassau: $149–$175 base hook fee plus $4–$8/mile after the first few miles included in the base. Exotic or oversize loads add an equipment surcharge. We quote the total before dispatch.
AWD drivetrains damage when one axle spins while the other doesn't. The center differential or viscous coupling cooks under load. Flatbed is manufacturer-recommended for every Subaru, most Audi Quattros, AWD Hondas, and all EVs.
Yes — and flatbed is the ONLY correct method. EVs can't be towed on wheels: regen braking back-feeds the motor and damages the drivetrain. We follow Tesla's tow-mode procedure and secure only at rated tow points.
Consent-only, quoted before the truck rolls. 24/7 from our Kew Gardens yard.
