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.

Car died in Hillcrest? We're six minutes from your block. 14,000 people in ZIP 11432. Parsons Boulevard through the middle, Union Turnpike on the north, Main Street on the west, Homelawn Street crossing the grid. Tight residential band with attached homes, narrow blocks, a walkable commercial strip on Union Turnpike. Dead battery, flat tire, locked out, flatbed — call us.
Hillcrest is six minutes from our yard. Default is Union Turnpike east — we're there in under 10 minutes. For calls near Parsons Boulevard or the residential blocks behind Union, we cut south off Union onto Parsons or 164th Street. For Main Street calls, we come directly east.
We stay off state-contracted facilities. Grand Central Parkway is not our work. Surface streets are.
Hillcrest's residential grid has tighter streets than most central Queens neighborhoods — attached and semi- attached homes with minimal driveway setback, narrow block widths, parked cars on both sides of many streets. For flatbed access, the practical reality is that most Hillcrest residential blocks don't fit a full flatbed without significant coordination. Our standard approach: stage the flatbed on Union Turnpike, Parsons Boulevard, or the nearest wider cross street, then use wheel-lift with dollies to move the vehicle out to the staging point.
For lowered or AWD vehicles where flatbed is the only right answer, we plan the access path before the truck arrives — sometimes that means timing the pickup to avoid peak curbside-parking windows. Flatbed is available for Hillcrest; we just need a minute to plan the staging.
Union Turnpike through Hillcrest carries commercial-strip density — restaurants, retail, independent shops, a busy walkable corridor. Tow calls on Union concentrate at the Parsons Boulevard intersection and further west toward the Kew Gardens Hills side. Minor collisions from turning-movement conflicts and double- parked delivery volume produce a steady dispatch pattern.
For roadside assistance calls on Union — stalls, flats, jump starts — the dispatcher asks for the nearest numbered cross street.
Listen. We are saying this plainly because it saves lives. If you have had too much to drink in Hillcrest — dinner on Union Turnpike, drinks with friends, a long night that ended at your car on Parsons — don't drive. Not one block. It is not worth a DUI. It is not worth wrecking the car. It is not worth hurting somebody.
Call us. Six minutes away. We tow your car home, to a friend's, to a safer parking spot, to a shop tomorrow. The tow fare is a fraction of a DUI lawyer, a fraction of a totaled car, a fraction of what paying forever costs.
The ride is chill. No lectures. Music on in the truck — put on whatever you want. You can smoke in the cab if that helps. The driver is not there to judge you. You picked up the phone. That is what matters.
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. Written authorization signed on scene. No blocked-driveway pickups, no non-consent private-property dispatch. NYPD 107th Precinct covers the area.
The Hillcrest mix breaks into three recurring categories. Narrow-street residential driveway and curbside work is the largest. Union Turnpike commercial- strip calls are the second. Parsons Boulevard corridor dispatches are the third. On-scene when we can, flatbed or wheel-lift (with staging) when we can't.
Call (347) 539-9726 and give the dispatcher the pickup address and nearest cross street. If you are on a narrow block, mention it so the driver plans the staging. 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 Hillcrest. 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.
