How does towing work in Northwest Side?
Inside the city the hard part is rarely the tow. Six expressways converge here, the Kennedy, the Dan Ryan, the Eisenhower, the Stevenson, the Edens and the Bishop Ford, and on top of them runs a removal system most drivers only learn about the morning it happens to them: 107 miles of arterial where parking is banned from 3am to 7am between December 1 and April 1 whether or not it snows, plus a separate 500-mile ban that switches on once two inches are on the ground. The city also relocates vehicles rather than impounding them, sometimes with no signs posted at all, which is why the city itself tells people to call 311 before reporting a car stolen. Four auto pounds run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and one of them, Pound 2 at 103rd and Doty Avenue, is where abandoned vehicles go.
The Northwest Side is Chicago's Polish and Mexican bungalow belt and the Spanish-language center of the North Side. Belmont Cragin holds roughly 72,100 residents and is 78.1 percent Hispanic, Portage Park about 63,000 and 40.9 percent Hispanic, Hermosa 22,600 and 84.9 percent Hispanic, Montclare 14,300 and 60.7 percent, Dunning 41,200 and 36.7 percent, Jefferson Park 26,600 and 26.9 percent. The Kennedy Expressway cuts diagonally across the entire side with the Blue Line running in its median, and Milwaukee Avenue, the old Northwest Plank Road, runs the same diagonal at street level. Six Corners at Irving Park, Cicero and Milwaukee is one of the best-known intersections in the city, and the Portage Theater and the Copernicus Center at the Jefferson Park transit center anchor the two commercial cores. Montrose station sits in the Kennedy median. This is where the winter overnight parking ban bites hardest in residential Chicago: the ban runs on 107 miles of arterials from 3am to 7am, December 1 through April 1, whether or not snow is present, and Milwaukee, Irving Park and Cicero are exactly that kind of street. Bungalow blocks with short driveways and shared gangways produce the blocked-driveway calls the city routes through 312-746-4520. Operators cover the Kennedy corridor, Six Corners and the Milwaukee Avenue spine, and we answer in Spanish here as a matter of course.
How much does towing cost in Northwest Side?
Every tow in Northwest Side is quoted before the truck rolls, and the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. A wheel lift and a flatbed are different prices because they are different jobs, and a flatbed is required for all-wheel drive, every electric vehicle, and anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling.
After-hours calls between 10 PM and 6 AM carry a set surcharge, stated on the call rather than added at the drop. We do not surge-price weekends, holidays or event nights. If what you need is a jump start or an unlock rather than a tow, we will tell you that instead.

Searching for 24 hour towing near you usually means something already went wrong tonight. Here's what to expect when you call: dispatch confirms your location and vehicle, quotes a price that includes the after-hours charge, then lines up an available operator.

What do Northwest Side residents ask about towing?
How fast can you tow in Northwest Side?
It depends on where in Northwest Side you are and which operator is free, so nobody can honestly quote an arrival time before they know both. Addresses out along the Will County freight corridor or at the far edges of the collar counties run longer on distance alone. Ask your operator for a window when they take the job.
Do you have flatbeds for Northwest Side?
Yes. Every place we cover in the Chicago metro has flatbed coverage through the network. A flatbed is required for all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, every electric vehicle, and anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling, so tell us what you are driving and we send an operator with the right truck.
What about Northwest Side's winter parking bans and the difference between an impound and a relocation?
Belmont Cragin is 78 percent Hispanic and Hermosa nearly 85 percent, and the Kennedy runs diagonally through the whole side with the arterial overnight ban posted along Milwaukee, Irving Park and Cicero. We account for local road conditions, traffic and access in every dispatch decision.
How much will a tow cost in Northwest Side?
You get a price before an operator is dispatched, and that price is the price. Heavy-duty, long-distance and specialty work, motorcycle, RV and exotic, are quoted separately. If what you actually need is a jump start or an unlock, we will say so instead of selling you a tow.
How much does the city charge if my car is towed in Northwest Side?
The City of Chicago publishes its fees. Under Municipal Code 9-92-080 the tow is $250 for a vehicle under 8,000 pounds and $350 at 8,000 pounds or more, and storage is $50 or $100 per day on the same weight split. Payment is cash or a major card only, no checks and no money orders. Separately, the city's winter parking-ban page publishes a different set for ban tows: a minimum $150 towing fee, a $60 ticket and $25 per day storage. Those are the city's numbers, not ours.
