24/7 Affordable Wheel-Lift Towing

Rick’s provides wheel-lift towing for cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, work vehicles, light-duty towing needs, and select medium-duty towing situations. Wheel-lift towing is useful for tight streets, alleys, curbside pickups, apartment parking areas, and garage ramps around Chicago’s North Side.

If towing is not needed, Rick’s can also help with jump starts, mobile battery replacement, car lockouts, flat tire service, emergency fuel delivery, and roadside assistance.

What Affects Your Towing Cost

Your towing cost depends on the vehicle type, loaded mileage, time of day, pickup location, drop-off location, and any special handling needed. Tight garages, alley pickups, no-key situations, winching, blocked vehicles, or difficult extractions can affect the final price.

  • 2WD towing hook-up starts at $100 cash and includes the first 3 loaded miles
  • 4WD towing hook-up starts at $150 cash and includes the first 3 loaded miles
  • After the first 3 loaded miles, towing is $10 per loaded mile
  • After-hours towing from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM starts at $150 for 2WD and $200 for 4WD
  • Winching or recovery starts at $150 per hour
  • Tight garage or difficult extraction may add $50
  • No-key neutral or special handling may add $75
  • Fuel surcharge on unloaded miles is $2.50 per unloaded mile

Cash prices are shown for reference. Credit or debit payments may include extra charges such as tax and card processing fees. Prices are subject to change, and dispatch will confirm the final price before service starts.

You can often keep the cost lower by sharing the exact pickup pin, choosing a nearby drop-off location, having the keys ready, clearing access around the vehicle, and letting us know about garages, tight spaces, no-key issues, or special vehicle conditions before dispatch.
