Professional Wheel Lift Towing Services Throughout College Point, Queens
Wheel lift towing is the classic and most common form of tow truck service. Instead of loading a vehicle onto a flatbed, a hydraulic yoke lifts the vehicle's drive wheels off the ground while the non-drive wheels roll on the pavement. This method is fast, efficient, and works well for most standard vehicles that are still operational or recently disabled. Working College Point is different from working a generic Queens ZIP — the single-family homes, attached houses, apartment buildings create parking and access challenges you only learn by being here. Our drivers service this neighborhood daily, so when the call comes in from near Powell's Cove or MacNeil Park, they already know the best approach, where to stage the truck, and how to keep the job moving.
