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.
Howard Beach is 13 minutes from our Kew Gardens yard via Cross Bay Boulevard. The neighborhood's shoreline geography makes it one of the most flood-prone residential areas in Queens — post-storm flatbed volume in Howard Beach spikes after nor'easters and tropical storms. Beyond flood events, Cross Bay Boulevard residential and commercial, 158th Avenue single-family blocks, and casino event spillover round out the flatbed dispatch pattern.
Howard Beach vehicle mix leans affluent family — single-family detached homes, luxury sedans and AWD SUVs in the Old Howard Beach and New Howard Beach residential blocks. Every AWD and EV mandates flatbed. The neighborhood's flood-zone status adds a specific flatbed category — post-storm flooded- vehicle recoveries where the engine or electrical system has been submerged and wheel-lift would risk further damage.
Dispatch asks vehicle, pickup address, destination. Post-storm flood calls get additional questions about water level, how long the vehicle sat, and whether the customer has contacted insurance. Fare quoted. Truck arrives, photographs panels (extra photos on flood calls for insurance documentation), customer signs. Deck tilts, straps, transit. Photos at drop texted.
Howard Beach post-storm flatbed recovery is a specialty we run every major weather event. Flooded vehicles cannot be driven and should not be wheel-lifted — the drivetrain may have water damage not visible externally, and rolling the wheels risks additional damage. Flatbed with full-deck load is the right call. We photograph the flood line, the engine bay water residue, the interior water intrusion, and any mud or debris at the pickup site. Those photos go to the customer and to the insurance carrier if the customer has an active claim.
Flood recovery often routes to a total-loss insurance drop rather than a body shop — flooded vehicles frequently get totaled by insurance carriers, and we deliver accordingly when the dispatch confirms the salvage destination.
Non-flood standard sedan → wheel-lift. Heavy commercial → heavy-duty. On-scene solvable → roadside assistance.

Howard Beach drops head to Jamaica body shops, Nassau dealers via surface streets, insurance salvage yards after flood events, customer home addresses in Ozone Park or Broad Channel.
Luxury AWD and rising Tesla presence across the single-family blocks. Flood-zone context means we handle more flood-related EV calls than in non-shoreline neighborhoods — and EV flood recovery protocol requires extra attention to high-voltage system status before any winch tension. Our drivers follow manufacturer procedures on every EV dispatch.
Standard authorization plus photos. Flood recoveries get extended photographic documentation — timestamped water-line photos, engine bay, interior, exterior residue. Insurance-carrier copies routed with drop-off receipt. At drop, re-photograph, confirm delivery, text customer copies.
The first difference is flood recovery. No other Queens neighborhood produces flood-related flatbed volume at the same scale. Our drivers know the documentation workflow, the insurance routing, and the flood-specific handling protocols.
The second difference is the Cross Bay Boulevard corridor and Broad Channel access. Some flatbed dispatches route into Broad Channel via Cross Bay — surface-street routing with attention to the bridge approach boundary (we don't tow on the parkway or expressway portions).
The third difference is luxury single-family vehicle concentration. Howard Beach flatbed loads tend to be higher-value vehicles with paint- protection priority. Standard flatbed discipline on every load. Call (347) 539-9726.

Flatbed Towing is one piece of what we do in Howard Beach. 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 Howard Beach services you can ask for by name:
Howard Beach 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. Howard Beach 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.
