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.
Car died in Jamaica Estates? We're eight minutes from your driveway. 20,000 people in ZIP 11432. Hillside Avenue along the south side, Midland Parkway running through the tree-lined interior, Utopia Parkway on the east, 188th Street crossing the grid. St. John's University campus at the south edge. Dead battery, flat tire, locked out, flatbed to a dealer or shop — call us.
From our Kew Gardens yard, default is Hillside Avenue east directly into the neighborhood. For calls on the Utopia Parkway side or the northern residential blocks, we route via 188th Street or Union Turnpike. For St. John's University campus calls, we enter via the Utopia Parkway campus access points.
Grand Central Parkway mainline along the eastern edge of the neighborhood is state- contracted. Not us. Service roads off the parkway and all surface streets are our daily work. For a parkway incident, state operators move the vehicle to a surface drop and we take it from there.
Jamaica Estates is one of the leafier residential neighborhoods in central Queens. Detached single-family homes on larger lots, long driveways, wide tree-lined streets. The residential call pattern here is typical for an affluent detached-home grid — driveway jump starts on vehicles that sat through weekends, flats from pothole strikes on the numbered streets, older or second-vehicle battery failures, vehicles needing a flatbed move to a dealer or shop.
Vehicle mix here skews later-model and affluent — a meaningful share of AWD SUVs, Tesla and other EV drivers, luxury European cars, family sedans. That mix pushes more of our Jamaica Estates tow work toward flatbed and wheel-lift-with-dollies rather than straight wheel-lift. We explain the equipment call on the phone.
St. John's University's main campus sits at the southern edge of Jamaica Estates along Utopia Parkway. Campus-parking tow calls come through regularly — student vehicles with dead batteries in commuter lots, flats from lot debris, occasional lockouts. We coordinate with campus security on active- class-day dispatches and handle event-day calls around athletic games, graduation weekends, and academic-calendar peaks.
Hillside Avenue runs along the southern edge of the neighborhood as a commercial arterial connecting into Jamaica on the east and Kew Gardens Hills on the west. Tow calls on Hillside concentrate at the Midland Parkway intersection and further west at the 178th Street and 188th Street intersections. Standard commercial-strip calls: stalls, flats, fender events, jump starts.
Listen. We are saying this plainly because it saves lives. If you have had too much to drink in Jamaica Estates or on the Hillside commercial strip, don't drive. Not one block. Not through the residential grid. Not home because "it's only a few minutes." It is not worth a DUI. It is not worth wrecking a nice car in your own neighborhood. It is not worth hurting someone on the quiet residential streets where kids and families are the majority.
Call us. We tow your car home, to a friend's, to a safer parking spot, to a shop or dealer you want to deal with tomorrow. Eight minutes from our yard — one of the closest- response neighborhoods in our Queens coverage. The tow fare is a fraction of a DUI lawyer, a fraction of what a totaled car costs, a fraction of the real cost of hurting somebody.
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 instead of turning the key. That is what matters right now.
Same applies if you are a friend or family member 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 Jamaica Estates. Written authorization signed on scene before any tow. No blocked-driveway pickups, no non- consent private-property dispatch, no predatory-lot contract work. NYPD 107th Precinct covers the neighborhood for parking complaints.
The Jamaica Estates mix breaks into three recurring categories. Residential driveway roadside work across the single-family grid is the largest source — jump starts, flats, scheduled shop drops. St. John's University campus calls are the second. Hillside Avenue and Midland Parkway corridor work is the third. Solvable-on-scene situations we solve on-scene; otherwise we tow to your shop.
Call (347) 539-9726 and give the dispatcher the pickup address and nearest cross street. If you are at St. John's, name the lot. For the vehicle, year / make / model, AWD or EV. For destination, name the shop or dealer — Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, Honda, whatever. The 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 Jamaica Estates. 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.
