Flatbed tow for Teslas, Subarus, AWDs, lowered cars, luxury, exotics, motorcycles, and anything banged up. Hydraulic deck, soft wheel straps, no chains on paint. Dispatched from our Kew Gardens HQ.
Whitestone sits 17 minutes from our Kew Gardens yard via Francis Lewis Boulevard and the Cross Island Parkway service road. The neighborhood is residential-dominant — single-family homes on 14th Avenue, 150th Street, Clintonville Street, and the residential grid south of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge approach. Most Whitestone flatbed work comes from those residential driveways and the Cross Island service road at 150th Street, where state-contracted recovery operators sometimes hand off stranded vehicles to us for the ride to a shop or dealer.
Whitestone's affluent residential demographic produces a disproportionate share of AWD and luxury flatbed calls. BMW, Mercedes, Audi Q-series, AWD Lexus, and a rising Tesla count populate the 14th Avenue and Clintonville blocks. Every AWD and EV mandates flatbed — the drivetrain engineering makes wheel-lift incompatible without damage risk. Whitestone's shoreline proximity also produces occasional flood or storm-damaged vehicle calls that need flatbed for insurance-documented recovery.
We do not tow from the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge or the Cross Island Parkway main lanes — both are state or Port Authority-contracted. We do pick up at the service-road handoff points, at residential addresses, and at the Francis Lewis Park perimeter.
Dispatch asks vehicle, pickup address, destination. Fare quoted. Driver arrives, photographs panels, customer signs authorization. Deck tilts, straps through tires, wheels-up transit to destination. Photos at drop texted before the truck leaves.
State-contracted recovery operators on the Cross Island Parkway move disabled vehicles to the service road at designated handoff points. From there, we pick up and transport to the customer's chosen destination. Whitestone's 150th Street exit and 14th Avenue exit are the most common handoff points we run.
Residential staging in Whitestone usually loads flatbed curbside — the 14th Avenue, 150th Street, and Clintonville residential blocks are wider than most central Queens streets, with adequate clearance for deck tilt.
FWD or RWD sedan, short local move → wheel-lift at $99 base. Heavy commercial → heavy-duty. Solvable on scene → roadside assistance.
Base flatbed $149. Whitestone flatbed typically $199–$249 one-way. Recent Whitestone calls:
Quoted before truck rolls. Pricing.
Whitestone drops head to Bayside dealers, Nassau manufacturer service centers, Queens body shops along Northern Boulevard, customer home addresses in neighboring College Point or Beechhurst.
Whitestone AWD concentration is high — single-family luxury ownership across the residential blocks. Tesla count rising, especially in the newer construction along the shoreline. Every AWD and EV gets flatbed with manufacturer-spec securement. Tow- mode protocol and override procedures in place for every EV dispatch.
Standard authorization plus photos. Handoff-pickup runs log the state operator who transferred the vehicle, for chain-of-custody clarity. Re-photograph at drop, confirm delivery, text customer copies.
The first difference is the Cross Island handoff pattern. State operators transfer stranded vehicles to the service road; we run the final-mile transport. That chain-of-custody workflow is not universal across Queens neighborhoods.
The second difference is the luxury AWD concentration. Whitestone single-family blocks produce a higher share of high-value flatbed loads than most Queens grid neighborhoods.
The third difference is the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge approach boundary. We always clarify that we pick up at the surface-street address — never on the bridge itself. Call (347) 539-9726 for a Whitestone flatbed.

Our drivers run Whitestone every week, which is why dispatch can quote you a live ETA before the truck rolls instead of giving you a fake minute-promise that falls apart in real traffic.

Flatbed Towing is one piece of what we do in Whitestone. 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 Whitestone services you can ask for by name:
Whitestone 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 flatbed towing 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. Whitestone 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.

Typical range in Queens and Nassau: $149–$175 base hook fee plus $4–$8/mile after the first few miles included in the base. Exotic or oversize loads add an equipment surcharge. We quote the total before dispatch.
AWD drivetrains damage when one axle spins while the other doesn't. The center differential or viscous coupling cooks under load. Flatbed is manufacturer-recommended for every Subaru, most Audi Quattros, AWD Hondas, and all EVs.
Yes — and flatbed is the ONLY correct method. EVs can't be towed on wheels: regen braking back-feeds the motor and damages the drivetrain. We follow Tesla's tow-mode procedure and secure only at rated tow points.
Consent-only, quoted before the truck rolls. 24/7 from our Kew Gardens yard.
