Rick’s Emergency Roadside Assistance provides long-distance wheel-lift towing for drivers in Chicago and nearby North Side neighborhoods. Call when your vehicle needs to be moved to a repair shop, dealership, body shop, home, storage location, or another safe destination outside the immediate pickup area.
Rick’s helps with cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, work vehicles, light-duty towing needs, and select medium-duty towing situations. Call with your pickup location, destination, vehicle details, and access notes so we can confirm the right service before work begins.
Rick’s provides wheel-lift towing only. No flatbed towing is offered.







Long-distance towing may be needed when your vehicle breaks down far from your preferred shop, needs to be moved to a dealership, must go to a body shop after an accident, or cannot be driven safely for a longer trip.
Tell us the pickup address, destination address, vehicle type, whether the vehicle rolls and steers, whether keys are available, and whether the vehicle is in a garage, alley, lot, or tight curbside space.
Long-distance towing pricing depends on pickup location, destination distance, vehicle type, access difficulty, time of day, whether keys are available, and whether the vehicle rolls and steers.
A straightforward curbside pickup is usually different from a garage pickup, blocked vehicle, no-key situation, or tight access location. Rick’s confirms the service details and price before work begins.
For a reference estimate, use the Chicago towing rate calculator or call with your pickup and destination details.
Not every roadside issue requires a long-distance tow. Rick’s can help with jump starts, mobile battery replacement, car lockouts, flat tire service, fuel delivery, and roadside assistance when those services can safely get the vehicle moving again.
If the vehicle still cannot be driven safely, Rick’s can help with wheel-lift towing to your preferred destination.
