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 a tow in Oakland Gardens? 14 minutes from our Kew Gardens yard. 30,000 people in ZIP 11364. Springfield Boulevard through the middle, Union Turnpike on the south, Bell Boulevard on the east. Cunningham Park on the west and Alley Pond Park north. Dead battery, flat tire, locked out, flatbed to a shop — call us.
From our Kew Gardens yard, default is Union Turnpike east directly into Oakland Gardens. For calls near Bell Boulevard or the Alley Pond Park side, we route east further on Union then north on Bell. For calls in the Cunningham Park area we approach via Springfield Boulevard.
We stay off state-contracted parkways — the Grand Central Parkway, Cross Island Parkway, and Long Island Expressway mainlines are authorized-only. Service roads and surface streets are our daily work.
Cunningham Park sits along the western edge of Oakland Gardens as one of Queens's larger green spaces — playing fields, picnic areas, tennis courts, jogging trails. Weekend seasonal tow calls here follow the familiar park pattern: family visitors parked through long outings, occasional dead batteries after all-day stays, flats from parking-lot debris, lockouts from visitors who left keys on the seat during a picnic.
Alley Pond Park runs along the northern edge, stretching into Bayside. Similar pattern but lower volume — the Oakland Gardens side of the park sees less of the weekend peak traffic than the Bayside side does.
Oakland Gardens's housing mix is dominated by garden-apartment complexes (the neighborhood's name reflects its history as planned garden-apartment development from the mid-20th century) plus detached single- family homes in the interior. The garden- apartment driveway and lot pattern produces steady residential tow volume — jump starts on vehicles that sat, flats from lot debris, older vehicles moving to shops.
Vehicle mix runs middle-class and family- oriented — working-family sedans, family SUVs, newer AWD vehicles in the more affluent pockets. Tow equipment mix leans wheel-lift for standard passenger tows, flatbed for AWD / EV / lowered / damaged.
Union Turnpike along the southern edge carries commercial-strip retail, restaurants, auto-related businesses, and heavy through- traffic between Queens and Nassau. Tow calls on Union concentrate at the Union / Springfield Boulevard intersection and the Union / Bell Boulevard intersection.
Springfield Boulevard runs north-south through the neighborhood as a residential- commercial mixed corridor. Bell Boulevard continues the Bayside restaurant strip pattern into the Oakland Gardens edge. For accident recovery on any of these, the standard insurance- documented workflow applies.
Listen. We are saying this plainly because it saves lives. If you have had too much to drink in Oakland Gardens — dinner on Union Turnpike, a party in a garden-apartment complex, a long night at a spot on Bell Boulevard — don't drive. Not one block. Not through the Oakland Gardens residential blocks where families live. It is not worth a DUI. It is not worth wrecking the car. It is not worth hurting anybody.
Call us. We tow your car home, to a friend's, to a safe overnight parking spot, to a shop tomorrow. 14 minutes from our yard. The tow fare is a fraction of a DUI lawyer, a fraction of a totaled car, a fraction of what the real cost of hurting somebody is.
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 in Oakland Gardens. Written authorization signed on scene. No blocked- driveway pickups, no non-consent private- property dispatch, no apartment-complex-lot contract work. NYPD 111th Precinct covers the neighborhood for parking complaints.
The mix breaks into three recurring categories. Garden-apartment and residential driveway work is the largest source. Union Turnpike and Bell Boulevard arterial calls are the second. Cunningham and Alley Pond Park seasonal calls are the third. On-scene fixes when we can, flatbed or wheel-lift when we can't.
Call (347) 539-9726 and give the dispatcher the pickup address and nearest cross street. If you are at a garden-apartment complex, name it. If you are in Cunningham Park, name the 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 Oakland Gardens. 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.
