If you are unsure, tell the dispatcher the exact vehicle (for example, "2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD") and we match the truck. Learn more on our flatbed towing in Chicago page.

Dead batteries on residential blocks and in parking lots, especially in winter.
Lockouts outside homes, apartments and small businesses along Milwaukee and Lawrence Avenues.
Flat tires on busy avenues and near shopping corridors.
Short local tows to a trusted mechanic, body shop or home.

Confirm the quote. We confirm the price details before the truck is hooked up. Final price depends on distance, vehicle type, time of day and service needed.

Having this ready makes your call faster:
Your exact location (cross streets, address, nearest landmark or expressway exit)
Vehicle make, model, year and color
What happened (won't start, flat tire, accident, locked out, out of fuel, stuck)
Whether the car rolls, steers and is AWD, 4WD or electric
Where you want it towed
Your safety comes before the tow.
If you are in traffic or on an expressway shoulder, stay in the vehicle with your seat belt on unless you can exit safely away from traffic.
Turn on hazard lights and, if it is safe, place a reflective triangle or flare behind the vehicle.
Don't stand between your vehicle and moving traffic or try to repair it in a traffic lane.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or the vehicle is blocking traffic.
On the Kennedy (I-90/94), IDOT's Emergency Traffic Patrol may arrive first to help you stay safe, but they don't replace a tow truck.
Keep doors locked and windows up if you feel unsafe, and share your live location with someone you trust.
Remove valuables from view and ask the dispatcher to confirm the destination before your vehicle is loaded.
These are typical examples, not customer stories.
Dead battery overnight. You walk out to a car that won't start. A jump-start may fix it. If not, a tow to a shop is the next step.
Flat tire near Milwaukee Avenue. With a usable spare and a safe spot, roadside help may be enough. If not, we tow.
Locked out near the transit center. Lockout help usually avoids a tow entirely.
Stuck in a snowbank or alley. A winch-out gets you back on the pavement.
Breakdown near the Kennedy. Get to a safe place first, then call. We arrange a tow or roadside fix.
After a collision. Once police and insurance steps are handled, we move the car to your chosen body shop.
If your car is missing, first work out whether it was towed or stolen.
Check the City of Chicago's vehicle search tool. It lists relocated and police-towed vehicles for a limited time window and shows the tow location
Contact 311 for relocated and towed vehicle information.
If it isn't listed, check whether you parked on private property. A private lot or property manager may have towed it. If you still can't find it, call the police non-emergency line to report it missing.
Bring ID, proof of ownership and payment for the City's release process. Requirements change, so confirm them at chicago.gov before you travel.
We don't handle City-ordered tows, but we can help move your vehicle after it's released.
Drivers are most vulnerable at night or after a crash. Watch for these red flags: no company name or markings, a quote that changes after hook-up, pressure to sign a blank form, demands for cash only, no clear destination, or someone claiming police affiliation without proof.
Before any tow, ask:
What is your company name and dispatch number?
Can you text or show me the quote in writing?
What's included, and what could change the price?
Where will my vehicle be taken?
What payment methods do you accept?
Are you licensed and insured for this tow?
For private-property relocation tows, check current licensing information with the Illinois Commerce Commission.
Winter. Cold drains batteries and tire pressure. Keep a portable jump starter in the car and check tire pressure when temperatures drop. Chicago enforces an overnight winter parking ban on designated main streets and a separate snow parking ban after heavy snowfall, and violating vehicles can be towed. Check the posted signs and current City rules
Summer. Heat strains batteries, cooling systems and tires. If your temperature light comes on or you see steam, pull over safely, shut off the engine and don't open a hot radiator cap. Call for help rather than driving on.
All year. Save our number before you need it: 872-713-6299. Keep your insurance and roadside plan details where you can find them.

Chicago's first hard freeze each year triggers a massive spike in dead battery calls. Average January temperatures hover around 30°F, with hard freezes commonly hitting 0°F, accelerating battery wear and electrical issues. Salt corrosion from winter roads compounds the problem year-round.
Tip: Test batteries before November; replace if 3+ years old.
The City of Chicago enforces a Winter Overnight Parking Ban on 107 miles of arterial streets from 3 AM-7 AM, December 1-April 1, regardless of snow. Violators face a minimum $150 towing fee, $60 ticket, and $25/day storage. A separate 2-inch snow ban covers 500+ miles of main streets and activates when snow exceeds 2 inches.
Illinois’ Move Over Law, also called Scott’s Law, requires drivers to move over and slow down when approaching emergency vehicles and other authorized vehicles displaying flashing lights, including tow trucks.
If changing lanes is unsafe, drivers must reduce speed and proceed with caution.
Illinois' Scott's Law (Move Over Law) requires drivers to slow down and move over for any emergency vehicle with flashing lights; stationary or moving; as of January 1, 2026. Penalties: $250-$10,000 fine (first offense), $750-$10,000 (subsequent), license suspension up to 2 years, and felony charges if injury/death occurs.
Tip: If broken down on I-90/94, I-290, I-55, or Lake Shore Drive, stay in your vehicle with seat-belt on unless you can exit safely away from traffic.

A breakdown can be stressful. Your physical safety is the priority while stranded on chicago streets or expressways.

if you are on a busy road or expressway shoulder; exiting
puts you at risk of being
struck by passing traffic

if safe, place a reflective triangle or flare behind your vehicle.

Do not stand on the shoulder or attempt repairs in traffic lanes; IDOT's Emergency Traffic Patrol ("Minutemen") specifically warns against this on Chicago expressways

If you are on an expressway (Dan Ryan, Kennedy, Eisenhower, etc.), IDOT's Minutemen may arrive first to clear hazards, but they do not tow; they will help you stay safe until a private tow truck arrives.

Keep doors locked and windows up if you feel unsafe; our dispatcher can share the driver's name, truck number, and live ETA for peace of mind

Chicago's expressways see high-speed traffic year-round, and winter weather (December-February) increases breakdown volume by up to 40%, making roadside safety critical.

How it works: The entire vehicle is driven or winched onto a level bed, then strapped down; no wheels touch the road during transport
Best for: All-wheel-drive (AWD) or 4WD vehicles (to avoid drivetrain damage), motorcycles, low-clearance sports cars, and vehicles with suspension/steering damage
Typical Chicago cost: $100-$175 for a short local tow (5 miles or less); longer distances add $3-$5 per mile.
TYPICAL CHICAGO COST : $100-$175 (5 Miles or less)

How it works: A metal yoke lifts either the front or rear wheels off the ground while the opposite axle rolls; faster and more maneuverable in tight urban spaces.
Best for: Best for: Standard 2WD cars and light trucks in good running condition; not recommended for AWD/4WD unless the driveshaft is disconnected (which most drivers cannot do safely)
Typical Chicago cost: $75-$125 for the first 3-5 miles, then $4-$10 per additional mile depending on the provider.
TYPICAL CHICAGO COST : $75-$125 (First 3-5 Miles)
Choose the right tow truck based on your vehicle and situation
| Vehicle Type | Recommended Truck | Why |
|---|---|---|
| AWD/4WD SUV or Crossover | Flatbed | Prevents drive-train binding and transmission damage |
| Motorcycle | Flatbed | Wheels must not touch the road; balance and stability are critical |
| Standard 2WD Sedan | Wheel-Lift or Flatbed | Both work; flatbed is gentler but may cost slightly more |
| Disabled Vehicle (would not roll) | Flatbed with Winch | Wheel-lift requires rolling wheels; winch-equipped flatbeds can pull non-running cars |
| Low-Clearance Sports Car | Flatbed | Avoids scraping front bumper or undercarriage |

A stranded vehicle on a Chicago street or expressway is not just an inconvenience; it is a safety hazard.

Winter Weather: December through February sees up to 40% more towing calls due to battery failures, tire blowouts and accidents caused by snow/ice
Pedestrian Danger: Drivers who exit their vehicles to "wave down help" or attempt roadside repairs are at significant risk of being hit by passing cars; IDOT's Minutemen explicitly warn against this
