Special Vehicle Towing Support in Chicago

Wheel-Lift Towing for Special Vehicle Situations

Rick’s Emergency Roadside Assistance provides wheel-lift towing and roadside assistance for cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, work vehicles, light-duty vehicles, and select medium-duty vehicles in Lake View East, Lakeview, Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park, Uptown, Andersonville, Edgewater, Lincoln Square, North Center, Ravenswood, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Jefferson Park, Sauganash, and nearby North Side Chicago neighborhoods.

Some vehicles need extra planning before towing, including AWD or 4x4 vehicles, vehicles with locked wheels, parking brake issues, low-clearance garage situations, tight alley access, steep garage ramps, or vehicles that do not roll or steer normally.

Call with the vehicle year, make, model, drivetrain, key status, tire condition, pickup location, and destination so Rick’s can confirm whether wheel-lift towing is the right option before work begins.

Confirm the Vehicle Details First

Special vehicle towing depends on the vehicle type, drivetrain, condition, access, key status, and whether the vehicle rolls and steers.

Before service begins, Rick’s confirms the vehicle details, pickup location, destination, and access situation so we can determine whether wheel-lift towing is appropriate.

What Counts as a Special Vehicle Towing Situation?

A special towing situation may involve a vehicle that does not roll normally, has locked wheels, has a parking brake issue, is parked in a low-clearance garage, is blocked in a tight alley, is positioned on a steep ramp, or has access limitations that affect the towing plan.

AWD, 4x4, low-clearance, lowered, work, and select medium-duty vehicles may require extra information before towing is confirmed.

Call with the vehicle details and location so Rick’s can confirm the right service option before work begins.

AWD, 4x4 & Non-Rolling Vehicle Questions

No Flatbed Towing

Special Vehicle Towing When Standard Towing May Not Be Enough

Some vehicles need extra planning before they can be moved safely. This includes AWD or 4x4 vehicles, low-clearance vehicles, vehicles in tight garages, locked-wheel vehicles, parking brake issues, and vehicles that do not roll or steer normally.

Rick’s can review the vehicle details and location to confirm whether wheel-lift towing is appropriate. If roadside service can solve the problem safely, Rick’s can help with jump starts, mobile battery replacement, car lockouts, flat tire service, or fuel delivery before towing becomes necessary.

If towing is appropriate, Rick’s can tow the vehicle to a repair shop, dealership, home, body shop, or another safe location.

If the vehicle cannot be driven safely and wheel-lift towing is appropriate, Rick’s can tow it to a repair shop, dealership, home, body shop, or another safe location.
