Pick the one that matches your situation. Each one opens the full service page.
Flatbed tow for Teslas, Subarus, AWDs, lowered cars, luxury, exotics, motorcycles, and anything banged up. Hydraulic deck, soft wheel straps, no chains on paint.
Standard wheel-lift tow for front-wheel or rear-wheel drive cars — fast, maneuverable, cheaper than flatbed for vehicles that don't need one. We don't upsell flatbed if wheel-lift is safe.
Jump start, flat tire change, lockout, fuel delivery — solve the problem on scene without hooking the car. ~45 min typical arrival across Queens and Nassau, 24 hours.
Post-accident vehicle recovery with flatbed and insurance-grade scene documentation — timestamped photos, signed release, carrier billing. You pick the body shop, we deliver.
Dead battery jump start with commercial-grade jump packs. ECU-safe for modern vehicles — no risk to your electronics. If the battery is finished we tow to your shop instead.
Car lockout help with long-reach tools that don't damage window seals or paint. Keys on the seat, fob battery dead mid-shift, locked out at the LIRR station — we unlock it.
Pulled from actual jobs in this neighborhood.
Need accident recovery? Ask for it by name — it includes scene photos + insurance paperwork.
Need a tow in Glendale? We're ten minutes away. 35,000 people in ZIP 11385. Myrtle Avenue along the north, Metropolitan Avenue along the south, Cooper Avenue crossing the middle, Woodhaven Boulevard on the east. Atlas Park Mall on the south side. Dead battery in the driveway, flat on Cooper Ave, locked out at the mall, flatbed to a shop — call us.
From our Kew Gardens yard, default is Union Turnpike west, then north on Woodhaven Boulevard or directly west through Forest Park into the Glendale grid. For calls on Myrtle Avenue we approach via Metropolitan Avenue west. For Atlas Park Mall we route directly off Cooper Avenue.
We stay off state-contracted facilities. The Long Island Expressway mainline and the Jackie Robinson Parkway (running along the northern edge through Forest Park) are authorized-only. Service roads and surface streets are our daily work.
Myrtle Avenue runs east-west along the northern side of Glendale as a primary commercial arterial, carrying retail, restaurants, auto-related businesses, and community institutions. Metropolitan Avenue runs parallel along the southern side and carries similar commercial density. Tow calls concentrate at the Myrtle / Cooper Avenue intersection and at the Metropolitan / Woodhaven Boulevard corner — both heavy turning-movement points.
Commercial-strip tow work on both corridors is the usual mix — stalls, flats, post-mechanical failure disablements, dead batteries at the curb. The Glendale stretch of Myrtle has a strong German-American and Eastern European heritage that shapes the restaurant and bakery mix visible along the strip today.
Atlas Park Mall sits on Cooper Avenue on the south side of Glendale. The mall's parking footprint produces the standard retail- destination call pile — dead batteries on vehicles sat through long shopping trips, flat tires from parking-lot debris, lockouts from shoppers returning with arms full, occasional low-speed fender events in the ring road.
For Atlas Park calls we ask which entrance or anchor during the dispatch call. The vehicle mix at the mall is broad — working-family sedans, family SUVs, newer AWD and EV vehicles from the surrounding residential grid. Tow mix reflects it: wheel-lift handles most non-AWD passenger tows; flatbed when the situation requires it.
Glendale's residential grid is predominantly working-class frame houses and two-family detached homes. Overnight street parking is heavy because driveways are often small. The morning dead-battery dispatch wave is a recognizable Glendale pattern — vehicles that sat overnight in cold temperatures, batteries that were already marginal, commuter departures that start with a jump-start call to our dispatcher.
Flats from street debris on the residential streets are the second steady pattern. Older vehicles moving to shops after starter or alternator failures are the third. Mount Carmel Cemetery along the eastern edge of the neighborhood adds an occasional funeral- procession coordination dispatch similar to the Middle Village cemetery pattern.
Listen. We are saying this plainly because it saves lives. If you have had too much to drink in Glendale — dinner on Myrtle, a party at a friend's house, a long night at a spot on Metropolitan — don't drive. Not one block. Not "I feel okay." Not through the residential grid where kids cross in the morning. It is not worth a DUI. It is not worth wrecking the car. It is not worth hurting somebody.
Call us. We tow your car home, to a friend's, to a safer parking spot, to a shop you deal with tomorrow. Ten minutes from our yard. The tow fare is a lot cheaper than a DUI lawyer, a lot cheaper than replacing a totaled car, a lot cheaper than living with the consequences of one bad decision.
The ride is chill. No lectures. Music on in the truck — put on whatever you want. You can smoke in the cab if that takes the edge off. The driver is not there to judge you. You picked up the phone instead of turning the key and that is the only thing that matters right now.
Same applies if you are a friend trying to keep someone from driving drunk. Call us for the tow, get them a rideshare. Cheaper than bail. Cheaper than a funeral. JG Towing has you covered. Don't ruin your life. Let us tow you.
Our consent-only rule applies in Glendale. Written authorization signed on scene before any tow. No blocked- driveway pickups, no non-consent private- property dispatch, no mall-lot contract work. NYPD 104th Precinct covers the neighborhood for parking complaints.
The Glendale mix breaks into four recurring categories. Residential driveway morning dead-battery calls across the frame-house grid are the single largest source. Myrtle and Metropolitan Avenue commercial-strip work is the second. Atlas Park Mall lot calls are the third. Cooper Avenue arterial dispatches are the fourth. On-scene fix when we can, tow to your shop when we can't.
Call (347) 539-9726 and give the dispatcher the pickup address and nearest cross street. If you are at Atlas Park, name the anchor or entrance. For the vehicle, year / make / model, AWD or EV. For destination, name the shop. Fare comes back before the truck rolls.
Same dispatcher, same trucks — pick your actual location.
Yes. From Lefferts Blvd to Metropolitan Ave to every residential side street, we dispatch across all of Glendale. Our Kew Gardens yard is inside or adjacent to the neighborhood, so response is as close as it gets.
Usually 5–12 minutes once the truck rolls, depending on time of day and which truck we send. We quote a live estimate when you call rather than posting a blanket guarantee we can't always keep.
Flatbed for AWDs, EVs, lowered cars, and accident recovery. Wheel-lift for short FWD/RWD local tows. Jump starts, lockouts, and flat tire changes at the LIRR station lot and along Lefferts Blvd.
No — NYC expressways and parkways are handled by state-contracted operators, not us. We work surface streets. If your breakdown is on the Van Wyck approach, NYPD or the state will handle scene recovery; we pick up at a surface drop-off if your insurance books a second tow.
Consent-only service from our Kew Gardens yard. 24/7, quoted before the truck rolls.
