Post-accident vehicle recovery with flatbed and insurance-grade scene documentation — timestamped photos, signed release, carrier billing. You pick the body shop, we deliver. Dispatched from our Kew Gardens HQ.
Forest Hills accident scenes cluster at Queens Boulevard and Continental Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue at the LIRR crossing, and Austin Street commercial- strip collisions. Our flatbed reaches Forest Hills in 6 minutes from the Kew Gardens yard. Flatbed plus insurance-grade scene documentation. $225 base, consent-only.
Forest Hills luxury vehicle concentration means post-accident recovery often involves high-value cars — BMW, Mercedes, Audi Quattro, Porsche Cayenne, Tesla — where flatbed is mandatory for drivetrain reasons and also for paint/trim protection. Flatbed plus exotic-grade strap kit when the vehicle warrants it.
Standard workflow. Timestamped photos, signed release, itemized invoice, direct carrier billing when policy allows. Luxury-vehicle scenes get additional attention to trim, wheel, and paint condition at pickup — baseline for any later damage dispute. Full process: accident recovery.
NY law: you pick. Forest Hills customers frequently choose manufacturer-certified shops — BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Tesla — for brand-specific collision repair. Generic network shops are common insurance suggestions but not required. Stage at our Kew Gardens yard if shop decision needs time.
Call from the scene. Vehicle, location, other party. Fare quoted. Truck rolls — 6 minutes from the yard. Scene photography with luxury-trim attention, release, flatbed load with exotic-grade strap kit when warranted, drop at chosen shop.

Accident Recovery is one piece of what we do in Forest Hills. 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 Forest Hills services you can ask for by name:

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. Forest Hills 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.
