Post-accident vehicle recovery with flatbed and insurance-grade scene documentation — timestamped photos, signed release, carrier billing. You pick the body shop, we deliver. Dispatched from our Kew Gardens HQ.
Our yard is on 83rd Avenue in Kew Gardens — which means an accident recovery call inside Kew Gardens gets a truck on scene faster than any other dispatch on our Queens map. Accident recovery runs different from a standard tow: flatbed plus insurance-grade documentation — timestamped scene photos, signed release, itemized invoice, direct carrier billing when the policy allows. $225 base, 24 hours, consent-only.
A standard tow moves a vehicle from point A to point B. Accident recovery moves a damaged vehicle, plus it captures the scene record your insurance carrier needs. The truck itself is usually the same flatbed we'd dispatch for any AWD or luxury tow — but the workflow adds scene photography, release paperwork, adjuster-grade invoicing, and sometimes direct insurance-carrier billing. That documentation matters if you file a claim, and it matters even more if the other party disputes fault.
Every Kew Gardens accident recovery dispatch runs the same documentation workflow. The driver arrives and photographs the scene from multiple angles before any equipment touches the vehicle — the damage, the vehicle position, nearby traffic control, any visible debris, license plates of involved vehicles when they're still on scene. Timestamps travel with every photo so the record is auditable. The customer signs a release authorizing recovery, identifies the destination body shop, and confirms whether insurance is handling direct billing or the customer is paying and submitting for reimbursement. Full process on the accident recovery service page.
New York law gives you the right to pick your own body shop. No tow operator, responding officer, or insurance adjuster can force you to a specific vendor — even when the insurance carrier has a "preferred" network shop list. Kew Gardens customers frequently pick shops along Metropolitan Avenue, Lefferts Boulevard, or in adjacent Forest Hills and Richmond Hill. If you don't know which shop yet, we stage the vehicle at our yard (first 24 hours included).
Call the dispatcher from the scene. Describe what happened, the vehicle, where you are, and whether the other party is still on scene. Dispatcher quotes the fare — $225 base plus mileage and any accident- specific paperwork charges — confirms insurance details, and rolls the truck. Kew Gardens scenes usually have our flatbed on scene within 10–15 minutes. Driver photographs the scene, you sign the release, flatbed loads, and the vehicle goes to the shop you named.
Low-speed collisions at Metropolitan Avenue intersections, rear-ends at the Lefferts Boulevard / Jamaica Avenue light, Union Turnpike fender-benders, Kew Gardens Interchange surface-approach incidents — typical Kew Gardens accident dispatches. Each one defaults to flatbed plus scene documentation, because even low-speed damage can compromise suspension geometry in ways that make wheel-lift risky.
Base accident recovery $225. Kew Gardens is our yard — minimal mileage. Most Kew Gardens accident dispatches land $225–$275. Samples:

We do not work police non-consent tows from accident scenes. NYPD-contracted rotation operators handle those dispatches, and our consent-only model excludes us from that work. We also do not tow from the Grand Central Parkway, Jackie Robinson Parkway, or Van Wyck Expressway main lanes — those are state- contracted. For Kew Gardens Interchange incidents where the initial dispatch happens on a parkway, the state operator moves the vehicle to a surface-street handoff point and we take it from there.
The truck lives at 83rd Avenue. Any Kew Gardens accident scene is within a few minutes. Typical on-scene arrival is 8–15 minutes including dispatch call time.
First difference: proximity. The truck is already here.
Second difference: Kew Gardens Interchange. Major parkway junction nearby produces surface-street handoffs from state operators that we pick up.
Third difference: yard access for storage. If you don't know your body shop yet, we stage at 83rd Avenue. First 24 hours included. Call (347) 539-9726 for Kew Gardens accident recovery.

Accident Recovery is one piece of what we do in Kew Gardens. 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 Kew Gardens services you can ask for by name:
Kew Gardens 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 accident recovery 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. Kew Gardens 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.
