DePaul Winch Out Help
Vehicle stuck near DePaul? Call Rick’s at (312) 451-5785 and describe where it is, the surface and what is preventing it from moving. We assess suitable recovery access before confirming a winch-out.
A stuck vehicle needs an access assessment
Tell us whether the vehicle is in an alley, a parking space, on a slope or against an obstacle. Describe the accessible approach and any gate or height restriction. A winch-out is not automatically suitable for every stuck vehicle; the recovery path and vehicle condition matter.
Report wheel and suspension damage
Mention a damaged ball joint, collapsed wheel, locked steering or a wheel that will not roll. Rick’s can handle damaged-suspension towing with the setup planned for the specific vehicle. Do not keep forcing the car to move if doing so may worsen damage or create a hazard.
A campus-area pickup needs the actual entrance
Give the street address and lot or garage entrance rather than only the university name. For restricted parking, arrange authorized access and share the relevant instructions. Rick’s is an independent service with no implied university affiliation.
Recovery and towing are separate parts of the plan
Once a vehicle is recovered, it may still need transport to a repair shop. Give the desired destination and explain whether the car can roll and steer. We discuss the recovery approach, compatible wheel-lift towing if needed, availability and quote before dispatch.
