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.

St. Albans is nine minutes from our yard. 30,000 people in ZIP 11412. We tow there regularly — Linden Boulevard, Merrick Boulevard, Farmers Boulevard, Baisley Boulevard. Roy Wilkins Park and the Addisleigh Park Historic District anchor the interior. Dead batteries in the residential driveways. Flats from pothole strikes on Linden. Lockouts on Merrick. Accident recovery at the Linden / Farmers intersection. Whatever broke, call us.
Default is Hillside Avenue east from our yard, then south on Farmers Boulevard or Merrick Boulevard into the neighborhood. For calls along Linden Boulevard, we come in directly from the Queens Boulevard / Van Wyck connection. For the Addisleigh Park historic side, we route via 172nd Street or the residential grid north of Linden.
We do not tow on any state-contracted mainline or parkway. For breakdowns on the Cross Island Parkway, Belt Parkway, or any state facility, state operators move the vehicle to a surface drop and we pick up from there.
Linden Boulevard runs east-west through St. Albans as a major commercial arterial carrying retail, restaurants, auto-related businesses, and community institutions. The Linden at Farmers Boulevard intersection is a recurring accident recovery dispatch point — heavy turning-movement volume and bus-route convergence produce minor-collision work.
Merrick Boulevard cuts through the neighborhood as the secondary commercial spine, carrying additional retail and service-business density. For roadside assistance on either corridor — flats, stalls, jump starts, fuel- outs — we respond within the standard ETA window and quote the fare on the phone. The Linden at Merrick intersection is another recurring dispatch point.
Addisleigh Park is a landmarked historic district inside St. Albans — an NYC designated historic area known for its mid-20th-century Tudor and Colonial Revival homes and for housing notable African-American figures during the era of housing segregation (Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Jackie Robinson, James Brown, and many others lived there). The architectural preservation produces specific tow operational considerations — tight older driveways, mature tree canopy affecting flatbed clearance, coordinated curb treatments where a tow truck's approach angle matters.
For Addisleigh Park tow pickups, we often stage the truck at a wider cross street and use wheel-lift with dollies to move the vehicle out rather than attempting to back a full flatbed into the tight historic driveway. The approach preserves the period architecture and avoids curb damage — which is the practical thing to do even when nobody is watching.
The St. Albans residential grid is primarily single-family detached and semi-detached homes, with the long-established community pattern producing multi-generational resident relationships. The driveway roadside assistance call is the dominant residential pattern — jump starts on vehicles that sat, flats from street debris, older vehicles needing to move to a shop after mechanical failure.
Vehicle mix leans working-family sedans, older SUVs, and commercial vehicles parked at home between shifts. The tow mix runs heavy on wheel-lift for standard passenger tows, with flatbed reserved for AWD, EV, lowered, or damaged vehicles. We do not upsell flatbed when wheel-lift is safe.
Listen. We are saying this plainly because it saves lives. If you have had too much to drink in St. Albans — dinner on Linden, a party on one of the residential blocks, a long night at a spot in Jamaica or Cambria Heights that ran longer than you planned — don't drive. Not one block. Not "I feel fine." Not "it is only a few minutes home." It is not worth a DUI. It is not worth wrecking the car. It is not worth hurting somebody's child crossing the street on Linden or Farmers.
Call us. We tow your car home, to a friend's, to a safer parking spot, to a shop you want to deal with tomorrow. Nine minutes from our yard. The tow fare is a fraction of a DUI lawyer, a fraction of insurance rate increases after a crash, a fraction of the rest of your life paying for a decision made at one in the morning.
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 all that matters tonight.
This works the same way if you are a friend or family member trying to figure out how to keep somebody from driving drunk. Call us for the tow, get them a rideshare, and nobody's life changes for the worse because of one bad night. JG Towing has you covered. Don't ruin your life. Let us tow you.
Our consent-only rule runs in St. Albans exactly as everywhere else we operate. Written authorization signed on scene before any tow. No blocked-driveway pickups, no non-consent private-property dispatch, no predatory-lot contract work. For St. Albans residents with a parking dispute, the NYPD 113th Precinct covers the neighborhood.
The St. Albans mix breaks into four recurring categories. Linden Boulevard commercial-strip calls are the largest. Merrick Boulevard secondary commercial work is second. Residential driveway calls across the grid are third. Addisleigh Park historic-district coordinated pickups are fourth. For solvable- on-scene situations we solve on-scene; otherwise we switch to wheel-lift or flatbed and tow to the customer's chosen shop.
Call (347) 539-9726 and give the dispatcher the pickup address and nearest cross street. If you are in Addisleigh Park, note that so we plan the staging. For the vehicle, year / make / model, AWD or EV. For destination, name the shop or dealer. 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 St. Albans. 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.
