We offer both open and enclosed transport depending on your vehicle's value and your preferences. When you need auto transport specifically in Hillcrest, you need a company that knows the streets, understands how traffic moves through Central Queens, and can navigate quickly to your exact location.

Geographically, Hillcrest spans ZIPs 11432 in Central Queens, with the main arteries being Hillside Avenue, Parsons Boulevard, Union Turnpike, 164th Street. The Hillside Avenue, Parsons Boulevard, 164th Street corridor pulls heavy daytime traffic, and the surrounding residential streets get busy on evenings and weekends.

No two auto transport calls look the same in Hillcrest. Sometimes it's a fender-bender recovery on Van Wyck Expressway. Sometimes it's a stubborn door lock in the Parsons Gardens parking area. Sometimes it's a dead battery three houses down from Parsons Boulevard. We handle all of it — and because we work this neighborhood daily, you're not explaining where you are for ten minutes before we can dispatch.
