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.

Whitestone sits on the East River in northeast Queens, seventeen minutes from our Kew Gardens yard. 28,000 people across ZIP 11357. We tow there regularly — Cross Island service road, 150th Street, 14th Avenue, Clintonville Street, the residential blocks near Francis Lewis Park and the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge approach. Dead batteries, flats, lockouts, accident recovery at the bridge-approach merges — call us.
The default approach from our Kew Gardens yard is Van Wyck service road north through Flushing, then east on Northern Boulevard, then north on 150th Street into Whitestone. For calls along the Cross Island service road or near the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge approach, we shift to the Cross Island service side earlier in the route.
The Cross Island Parkway mainline and the Whitestone Expressway mainline are state- contracted and out of our scope. Service roads along both corridors are our daily work. If your vehicle is on a parkway mainline, a state operator moves it to a surface drop and we take it from there.
The Bronx-Whitestone Bridge approach produces a specific slice of our Whitestone tow work. Vehicles that exited the bridge mainline with mechanical problems, drivers who pulled off the Cross Island service road with a flat or overheat, commercial vehicles that failed during the bridge crossing and got moved to the Queens side — these all end up at service-road or surface-street drop-off points where we handle the pickup.
For any bridge-approach tow, staging position matters for safety. The Cross Island service road carries enough speed and volume that poor staging creates real risk for the driver, the customer, and the truck. Our drivers know the specific pull-off points and the approach angles that keep everyone safely clear of the active traffic lanes.
The Whitestone residential grid runs primarily detached single-family homes with waterfront- facing blocks near the East River and more typical suburban-style blocks inland. The housing stock skews middle-class to affluent, with a corresponding vehicle mix that includes a meaningful share of AWD SUVs, luxury vehicles, and EVs along with the standard working-family sedan population.
The waterfront-side residential blocks present specific operational considerations for tow access. Narrower waterfront streets, tight driveway geometry on older homes, mature tree canopy that affects flatbed clearance. For waterfront-driveway pickups we often stage on a wider cross street and use flatbed or wheel-lift with dollies with careful positioning.
14th Avenue and Clintonville Street run as the neighborhood's primary commercial strips with a mix of restaurants, independent retail, service-business density, and auto-related establishments. 14th Avenue at 150th Street is a recurring dispatch point where turning- movement volume and bus-route activity produce minor-collision work.
Francis Lewis Park on the waterfront produces a seasonal weekend tow call pattern — park visitors parked for extended outings occasionally return to dead batteries or flats from lot debris. Whitestone Memorial Park adds a smaller but similar seasonal pattern.
Listen. We are saying this plainly because it saves lives. If you have had too much to drink in Whitestone — dinner along 14th Avenue, a party at a waterfront home, a long night that started in the Bronx and ended here — don't drive. Not one block. Not over the Whitestone Bridge. Not to a friend's place three streets over. It is not worth a DUI. It is not worth wrecking the car on the bridge approach. It is not worth hurting somebody at the residential crosswalks.
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 morning. Seventeen minutes from our yard. The tow fare is a lot cheaper than a DUI lawyer. Cheaper than a totaled car. Cheaper than whatever the rest of your life costs you after hurting somebody you did not mean to hurt.
The ride back is chill. No lectures. Music on in the truck — put on whatever you want. You can smoke in the cab if that takes the edge off. The driver is not there to judge you. You picked up the phone instead of turning the key, which is the only thing that matters.
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 home. 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 Whitestone. Written authorization signed on scene before we hook anything. No blocked-driveway pickups, no non- consent private-property dispatch, no predatory-lot contract work. For Whitestone residents with a parking dispute, the NYPD 109th Precinct covers the area.
The Whitestone mix breaks into four recurring categories. Cross Island service road stalls and bridge-approach fender events are the largest single source. 14th Avenue and Clintonville Street commercial-strip calls are the second. Residential driveway work across the single-family grid is the third. Waterfront-park seasonal calls at Francis Lewis Park are the fourth. For anything solvable on-scene we solve on-scene. For unsolvable situations we switch to wheel-lift or flatbed.
Call (347) 539-9726 and give the dispatcher the pickup address and nearest cross street. If you are on the Cross Island service road, confirm service road and not mainline. 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 Whitestone. 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.
