Everything we dispatch on falls into one of three buckets. Basic tow truck service — wheel-lift or flatbed — covers the bulk of our calls. Targeted roadside assistance (jumpstart, lockout, flat tire, fuel) handles situations where the vehicle can leave under its own power after we arrive. A third group of specialty services — heavy-duty wrecker, exotic car flatbed, motorcycle towing, accident recovery, construction equipment, winch-out — handles the situations where the wrong truck or the wrong approach would make the problem worse.

Every service below starts with the same phone number — (347) 539-9726. Dispatcher tells you which service fits, quotes the fare, and confirms equipment before any truck leaves our Kew Gardens yard.

Choosing the Right Service

How to Pick the Right Tow Service in Nassau County

Three factors decide which service fits — vehicle type, situation, and cost. Here's how we think about each.

Vehicle type

AWDs, EVs, low-clearance, and damaged cars mandate flatbed towing. Standard FWD/RWD cars can ride on wheel-lift when the distance is short. Commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs need heavy-duty. Motorcycles go on a flatbed with a wheel chock and triple-clamp straps.

Situation

Simple breakdown where the vehicle can't move — basic tow. Post-accident scene with insurance paperwork coming — accident recovery (same flatbed, different workflow). Stuck in mud, snow, or a ditch — winch-out. Dead battery, flat tire, locked keys, empty tank — roadside.

Cost

Roadside services start at $89 and are the cheapest fix when they work. Wheel-lift tow from $99. Flatbed from $149. Heavy wrecker from $450. Long-distance and specialty hauls quoted flat-rate. Full math on the pricing page.

What Each Service Actually Covers

Tow Service Coverage in Queens

Quick descriptions so you know which section of the price list your situation lands in.

Local tow vs long-distance

A local tow is anything under about ten miles with the drop inside Queens or Nassau. Those run base fee plus a small per-mile. A long-distance tow is anything over the metro — typical examples are New York City to the Poconos, Philadelphia, Boston, or DC. Those are quoted flat-rate based on total one-way distance.

Accident recovery is a workflow, not a different truck

The flatbed that hauls a broken-down Subaru is the same flatbed that hauls one after a fender-bender. The difference is what happens alongside the tow — accident recovery includes scene photos, driver-side documentation, adjuster-grade receipts, and (when policy allows) direct billing to your insurance. Ask for it specifically at the call so we bring the right paperwork.

When a jumpstart turns into a tow

A jumpstart fixes a dead battery in about ten minutes and costs $89. If the jumpstart works but the alternator is bad, the car will die again within an hour — we confirm alternator output before we leave, and if it's bad we quote a tow to your shop at the same visit. No second trip, no second dispatch fee.

Lockouts, legally

Proof of ownership is required for every lockout — ID matching the registered owner or a signed authorization. We use non-invasive long-reach tools, not slim jims. No paint damage, no window damage. If the car is a 2014+ model with proximity entry and the fob is inside, sometimes the fob's range is enough to unlock through the window without any tool at all. We try that first.

Winch-out vs off-road recovery

A winch-out is getting a stuck car out of mud, snow, a ditch, a curb, or a driveway edge using the truck-mounted winch. A quick pull, usually ten minutes. Off-road recovery is the deeper version — a vehicle buried in sand at Rockaway Beach, a truck high-centered on a construction lot, anything needing ground anchors, snatch blocks, or sequenced pulls. Different rate, different tools.

Junk car removal is free (mostly)

We pay or take free — depending on the vehicle and the metals market — for most intact junk car removal in Queens and Nassau. Engine in place, wheels rollable, title in hand. No title = we can still help, but the process requires a bonded title application that takes a few weeks. We walk you through it.

Service Selection FAQ

6 Questions About Picking the Right Tow Service in Queens

More in the full FAQ.

How do I know which service I actually need?

When you call, describe the situation — what vehicle, what happened, where you are. We'll tell you whether it's a tow, a jump, a lockout, or something else, and quote that service's price before any truck rolls.

Do you charge differently for different services?

Yes. Single-service roadside (jumpstart, lockout, flat tire, fuel) starts at $89. Wheel-lift local towing starts at $99. Flatbed towing starts at $149. Heavy wrecker for commercial vehicles starts at $450. The full price list is on the pricing page.

Can you combine services on one call?

Sometimes. If we arrive for a jumpstart and the battery is genuinely dead (not just low), we'll quote a tow to your shop at the same visit. If a lockout reveals the car won't start, same thing. You only pay for what we actually perform, and the quote updates before we do it.

What if my situation doesn't fit a listed service?

Call and describe it. Edge cases — classic cars needing special handling, vehicles stuck in tight garages, multiple vehicles after a storm, equipment between the standard flatbed and heavy wrecker size — we handle or coordinate with partners. Quote before dispatch, always.

Is roadside assistance cheaper than a tow?

Usually, yes. A single-service roadside fix (jumpstart, tire change, lockout, fuel delivery) at $89 saves you the tow fee if the vehicle can leave under its own power. If it can't, we roll the service into a tow and quote the combined fare.

Which services run 24/7?

All of them. Towing, roadside, accident recovery, winching — our dispatch line answers 24/7/365 and rolls trucks around the clock. Scheduled Vehicle Hauling is the one exception: we book those during daytime hours for pickup coordination.

How to Pick the Right Tow Service

A plainspoken walkthrough of the JG Towing service catalog

Twenty services on one page looks overwhelming. Here is how the catalog actually maps to the real situations customers call us about.

Most of the calls we get fall into one of five broad categories. Dead battery. Flat tire. Vehicle-won't-start-and-needs-to-move-to-a-shop. Vehicle-has-been-in-an-accident-and-needs- recovery. Locked out. Each of those maps to a specific service on this catalog, but the practical path for a caller is simpler than the twenty-item menu suggests. The dispatcher walks you through the right choice on the phone based on what actually happened. You do not need to pre-diagnose whether you need flatbed or wheel- lift or wheel-lift-with-dollies or accident recovery — you tell us what is going on with your vehicle and we pick the right response.

Roadside assistance is the category for problems that can often be solved on scene without hooking the vehicle at all. Jump-start for a dead battery that just needs a boost. Flat-tire change if you have a spare or a run-flat. Fuel delivery of two gallons of regular to get you to the nearest station. Lockout service if you locked keys in the vehicle. These are the shortest-duration and cheapest-fare calls in our catalog, and they are what we try to solve first when the situation allows it. Only if the on-scene fix won't hold do we escalate to a tow.

Flatbed towing, wheel-lift towing, and heavy-duty towing are the three tow-equipment categories. Flatbed is required for AWD vehicles, EVs, exotic or lowered vehicles, and collision-damaged vehicles because the drivetrain or the body geometry cannot tolerate a hook without damage. Wheel-lift is cheaper and faster and works for standard front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive passenger cars in good condition. Heavy-duty is the category for box trucks, Sprinter vans, RVs, and commercial fleet vehicles over 10,000 pounds — a different equipment class entirely, with different operator certifications and insurance ratings.

The specialty services — motorcycle towing, exotic car towing, long-distance towing, construction equipment towing, commercial towing, dolly towing, winching recovery, off-road recovery, vehicle hauling, junk car removal — each address specific situations that do not fit the standard categories. Motorcycle towing uses flatbed equipment with a wheel chock and triple- clamp soft straps to avoid frame contact. Exotic car towing adds sub-10° load angles, extra strap pads, and no-hook-point protocols. Long-distance towing handles multi-hour routes with fuel planning and driver coordination. Each specialty is priced according to the actual work required rather than a one-size flat rate.

Accident recovery deserves a specific call-out because it is categorically different from a routine tow. The work requires insurance documentation, timestamped scene photography, carrier-grade paperwork, and often direct coordination with law enforcement already on scene. The vehicle itself may be in a position that requires winching before it can be loaded, or damaged in a way that makes normal tow equipment inappropriate. Insurance carriers route accident recovery work to operators with the documentation discipline to close files cleanly; the operational expertise built up over multiple similar scenes is what makes the difference between a rapid claim resolution and a protracted paperwork dispute. Our accident recovery work runs the full documentation kit as a standard procedure rather than as an add-on service.
