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.
Forest Hills sits six minutes from our 83rd Avenue yard in Kew Gardens — the closest non-Kew-Gardens pickup on our run sheet. The neighborhood's luxury vehicle concentration is among the highest in Queens, driven by the Forest Hills Gardens private residential enclave, the Austin Street commercial strip, and the Queens Boulevard high-rise corridor. Most Forest Hills flatbed calls come from one of three places — the Gardens' cobblestone Tudor streets, Austin Street commercial lots, or the LIRR station parking area at 71st Avenue / Continental Avenue.
Forest Hills has the second-highest luxury and AWD vehicle concentration in Queens, after Long Island City. BMW 5 and 7 Series, Mercedes E-Class and S-Class, Porsche Cayenne and Macan, Audi Quattro across the model range, Tesla Model S and Model Y in the newer high-rise parking decks along Queens Boulevard, AWD Subarus and Hondas throughout the residential grid. The Gardens enclave alone accounts for a disproportionate share of Queens flatbed calls for lowered and luxury vehicles — the Olmsted-designed streetscape was never built for commercial-vehicle traffic, and residents who drive paint- sensitive cars want flatbed rather than any alternative.
Every flatbed-mandating vehicle category shows up here — AWD, EV, lowered, luxury, damaged, non-running. Our hydraulic deck tilts under ten degrees so lowered cars clear the loading angle. Soft wheel nets replace chain-style tie-downs entirely. Paint stays paint. Exotic car towing is the service to name when the vehicle is a 911 GT3, a Corvette Z06, or anything where extra strap padding matters.
When you call from a Forest Hills address, dispatch asks three things. Vehicle make and model — so we can match the correct strap kit and padding. The exact pickup address — because Forest Hills Gardens dispatch needs Corporation notification, Austin Street dispatch needs loading-zone timing, and Queens Boulevard high-rise dispatch may need building security coordination. And the destination — shop, dealer, body shop, home, long-haul run.
From there we name the total fare and confirm the pickup. Forest Hills fares are among the lowest in our Queens pricing because of the short haul from Kew Gardens — often base fare plus minimal mileage. The driver arrives, photographs every panel, the customer signs the authorization. The deck tilts to under ten degrees, soft straps go through the wheels, the vehicle rides wheels-up at street speed. Photos at drop texted before the truck leaves.
Forest Hills Gardens is a private enclave — the streets inside the Gardens have been privately owned and maintained by the Forest Hills Gardens Corporation since 1911. Access for commercial vehicles requires Corporation notification. Our dispatcher handles that step at the call so the truck doesn't arrive and get turned back at the Station Square entrance. The Gardens' cobblestone and narrow Tudor-village streets also dictate where a flatbed can safely stage and where we need to winch-line a vehicle to a wider point.
Outside the Gardens, Austin Street commercial strip has aggressive bus-lane and loading-zone enforcement during business hours — we stage off-lane and time lifts to the permitted window. Queens Boulevard service road handles high-rise building pickups. The Metropolitan Avenue LIRR crossing area can flatbed during off-peak, though we avoid blocking the crossing at train pass times.
For a standard FWD or RWD sedan that isn't lowered, isn't damaged, and the destination is a few miles away, wheel-lift at $99 base does the same job for fifty dollars less. For box trucks and vans above 10,000 lbs, the dispatch routes to our heavy-duty wrecker. When dispatch isn't sure, we ask vehicle make and drive train before committing to a truck.
Base flatbed fare is $149. Kew Gardens to Forest Hills is essentially neighbor distance — under three miles to most addresses. Most Forest Hills flatbed fares stay at base or slightly above, $149–$189 one-way for local drops. Recent Forest Hills call examples:

Forest Hills flatbed drops head to a few recurring categories. The customer's preferred mechanic — often on Austin Street, Metropolitan Avenue, or just over into Rego Park. Manufacturer service centers — BMW and Mercedes dealers distributed across Queens and Nassau, Tesla in Manhasset or Syosset, Porsche service at the dedicated Manhasset facility. Body shops after collision damage, with insurance paperwork when a claim is active. Customer home addresses when the fix is scheduled for a later window.
From Forest Hills, flatbed routes to most Queens destinations run 10–25 minutes via surface streets. Nassau routes run 25–45 minutes. Manhattan via the Queensboro Bridge or through Kew Gardens to the Midtown Tunnel corridor. We do not run the Grand Central Parkway or Jackie Robinson Parkway — both are state-contracted for recovery work.
Forest Hills has one of the most diverse vehicle mixes in Queens — older Tudor-home owners with AWD Audis and BMWs, newer high-rise residents with Teslas, family households with AWD Subarus and Toyotas. All three buyer profiles produce flatbed-mandating vehicles, and our dispatch carries the right equipment every call. AWD dispatch is straight flatbed with drive-wheel chocks. EV dispatch adds tow mode engagement before any winch tension, with manufacturer-override procedure ready when the 12V battery is dead.
Gardens cobblestone handling is the Forest Hills-specific detail. The Gardens' streetscape was never built for commercial vehicle traffic, and our drivers load and roll at low speed across cobblestone surfaces carefully. Strap padding and winch tension get dialed back to protect the vehicle's paint and trim from vibration transfer. That's baked into the standard fare — no surcharge for the Gardens context.
Standard written authorization plus photographic documentation — vehicle ID, pickup address, drop destination, quoted fare, pre-existing damage. Every body panel photographed before loading. For Gardens pickups, we also log the Corporation-notification time and the Station Square entry record, which sometimes matters if there's any later question about vehicle access timing. At drop, the vehicle is re-photographed, the receiving party confirms delivery, and the customer gets the photos plus receipt texted.
The first difference is the Gardens — no other Queens neighborhood has a century-old private residential enclave with cobblestone Tudor streets designed by the Olmsted Brothers firm. Working in the Gardens requires advance Corporation coordination and slow, careful loading discipline. Our dispatchers and drivers know the routine.
The second difference is vehicle mix density. Forest Hills concentrates luxury, AWD, and paint-sensitive vehicles at a rate that matches LIC's EV volume — except weighted toward German luxury rather than American EVs. The strap kit, the bed padding, and the photographic documentation workflow all see heavy use on Forest Hills dispatches.
The third difference is proximity. Forest Hills is essentially our neighbor — six minutes from the yard. Response time and base-fare pricing are among the best on our Queens run sheet. Call (347) 539-9726 when you need a flatbed in Forest Hills — we'll quote it, roll the truck, and deliver with photos on both ends.

Flatbed Towing 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:
Forest Hills 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. 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.

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.
