Rick’s Emergency Roadside Assistance provides flat tire change service, spare tire installation, roadside assistance, and wheel-lift towing for drivers in Lake View East, Lakeview, Wrigleyville, Northalsted, Lincoln Park, Uptown, Andersonville, Edgewater, Lincoln Square, North Center, and nearby North Side Chicago neighborhoods.

Call when your tire is flat, shredded, leaking, damaged, unsafe to drive on, or when you need help installing a usable spare tire. Flat tire calls often happen on busy curb lanes, alleys, garages, apartment lots, lakefront streets, and tight North Side parking areas.

If the vehicle location is safe and the spare tire is usable, Rick’s can help with a flat tire change. If the tire, wheel, spare, or vehicle condition makes roadside service unsafe, Rick’s can provide wheel-lift towing to a tire shop, repair shop, dealership, home, or another safe location.

  • Wheel-lift towing when the vehicle cannot be driven safely

Tell us your vehicle type, location, tire condition, and whether you have a usable spare tire so we can confirm the right service before work begins.

Flat Tire Help Before Towing

Not every flat tire needs a tow. If the vehicle is in a safe location and the spare tire is usable, Rick’s can help with spare tire installation so the vehicle can be moved safely.

If the tire is shredded, the wheel is damaged, the spare is missing, the spare is unsafe, or the vehicle cannot be driven safely, Rick’s can help with wheel-lift towing to a tire shop, repair shop, dealership, home, or another safe location.

If You Have a Usable Spare Tire

Rick’s can help install a usable spare tire when the vehicle is in a safe location and the spare tire can be used.

Before service, tell us whether you have a spare tire, whether the tire is fully flat or shredded, and whether the vehicle is in traffic, an alley, a garage, a parking lot, or a tight curbside space.

If the spare is missing, flat, damaged, or unsafe to use, Rick’s can provide wheel-lift towing to a tire shop, repair shop, dealership, home, or another safe location.

Wheel-Lift Towing After a Flat Tire

If your vehicle cannot be driven safely after a flat tire, Rick’s can help with wheel-lift towing to a tire shop, repair shop, dealership, home, or another safe location.

Flat Tire Towing Support

Rick’s helps with flat tire towing when the tire is shredded, the sidewall is damaged, the wheel is damaged, the spare is missing, or roadside tire service is not safe.

Light-Duty Towing

Rick’s provides wheel-lift towing for cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, work vehicles, no-start vehicles, accident situations, flat tires, and vehicles that cannot be driven safely.

No Flatbed Towing

Rick’s provides wheel-lift towing only. No flatbed towing is offered.

Flat Tire Change When Your Vehicle Cannot Be Driven Safely

Rick’s helps drivers when a flat tire leaves the vehicle unsafe to drive, stuck in a parking area, parked curbside, blocked in an alley, or sitting in a location where roadside help is needed.

If a usable spare tire is available and the vehicle location is safe, Rick’s can help with spare tire installation. If the spare is missing, damaged, or unsafe, Rick’s can help with wheel-lift towing.

If you are in an exposed lane, blocking traffic, or in immediate danger, prioritize safety first and contact emergency services when appropriate.

Tire Change Service With Towing Backup

Rick’s helps with flat tire service, spare tire installation, roadside assistance, and towing backup when a vehicle cannot be driven safely.

If roadside tire service can solve the problem safely, Rick’s can help with that first. If the tire, wheel, spare, or vehicle condition makes driving unsafe, Rick’s can provide wheel-lift towing to a tire shop, repair shop, dealership, home, or another safe location.

Rick’s also helps with jump starts, mobile battery replacement, car lockouts, fuel delivery, and roadside assistance when another issue is causing the vehicle to stay stuck.

Covering every neighborhood, from Rogers Park to Lincoln Park, we typically arrive within 25 minutes to get you moving again.
