Learn moreWhy do Chicago drivers choose Quick Tow Chicago?
Chicago is where the interstates meet. Six expressways converge inside the city limits, the intermodal complex south of Joliet is the largest inland port in North America, and Cook County alone recorded 164,559 crashes in 2024, more than half of every crash in Illinois. On top of that runs a removal system most drivers only meet the morning it happens to them: 107 miles of arterial banned to parking from 3am to 7am between December 1 and April 1 whether or not it snows, a separate 500-mile ban that switches on once two inches are on the ground, and a city that relocates vehicles as well as impounding them, sometimes with no signs posted. O'Hare averages 38.4 inches of snow and 121 nights at or below freezing a year, which is why January is the busiest month on the line. We know the metro, the roads, and which of the three towing regimes you are actually in.
- One local number for the whole metro. Not a national queue that routes you blind from another state. Tell us the vehicle and the location and the job goes to an operator who works your area.
- Priced before anyone rolls. You hear the number before the truck rolls, and you decide from there.
- The right truck for the vehicle. Flatbed for AWD, EVs, luxury, and damaged cars. Wheel-lift for tight lots. Heavy wreckers for trucks and RVs.
- The line is open after hours. Calls are taken 24/7 and every message is recorded and transcribed, so a 3 a.m. breakdown does not wait for morning.

All FAQsIs there a 24 hour tow truck near me in Chicago?
Yes. The line is answered 24 hours a day, every day, and the operators in our network cover the whole metro, from the Loop and the lakefront out to Cicero, Naperville, Orland Park and Joliet. Tell us where you are and what the vehicle is, and you get the price before anyone is dispatched.
What areas across the Chicago metro do you tow?
Thirty-five places across four counties: the six sides of the city itself, the north and northwest suburbs from Evanston to Schaumburg, the west suburbs from Oak Park to Aurora and Elgin, the south and southwest suburbs from Oak Lawn to Chicago Heights, and the Will County freight corridor through Joliet. All of it is Illinois. Northwest Indiana is deliberately not covered.
How much does a tow cost in Chicago?
You get the price before an operator is dispatched, and that number covers the job rather than a starting figure that grows on arrival. Heavy-duty, motorcycle, RV and long-distance are quoted separately, always before the truck rolls. If what you need is a jump or an unlock instead, we will say so.
Are you open 24/7?
Yes, the line takes calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Leave the vehicle, the location and the problem, and we line up an available tow operator. Calls are recorded and transcribed, so nothing gets lost between the message and the truck.
Do you have flatbeds?
Yes. Every tow that involves AWD, 4WD, EVs, low-clearance vehicles, or damaged vehicles goes flatbed - full stop. Tell us the vehicle when you call and we line up an operator with the right truck.
Do you handle RV towing and camper recovery?
Yes. RV towing takes a heavy wrecker and pad access. I-90 and I-294 carry rigs north toward Wisconsin all summer and I-80 is the transcontinental route across the south edge of the metro, so a breakdown out here is usually on a tollway shoulder with traffic at seventy. Give us the class and the location and we line up the right equipment.
Do you accept insurance or motor club dispatches?
If you have roadside coverage through AAA, Allstate, Geico, USAA, State Farm, or another motor club, call your insurer first, because they pay the bill and pick who goes. If you need help direct, call us and we get the tow quoted before anyone is dispatched.
