Rick’s Emergency Roadside Assistance provides wheel-lift towing and roadside assistance in Lake View East and across Chicago’s North Side. Towing prices depend on vehicle type, pickup location, destination, mileage, time of day, vehicle access, and whether extra work is needed.
For standard cash towing rates, Rick’s uses the following reference pricing:
Prices are for reference only and may change at any time. Cash prices are listed. Credit and debit payments may add extra charges such as tax and card processing fees.
Rick’s provides wheel-lift towing only. No flatbed towing is offered.
Towing rates can change based on the vehicle type, pickup location, destination, mileage, time of day, whether the vehicle has keys, whether it rolls and steers, and whether the vehicle is in a garage, alley, tight parking space, traffic lane, or low-clearance area.
A simple wheel-lift tow from an easy-access curbside location may cost less than a tow involving a blocked vehicle, no-key situation, tight garage, accident situation, or difficult pickup location.
Before service starts, Rick’s confirms the service, vehicle type, pickup location, destination if towing is needed, access details, and price details.
After-hours towing applies from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. During this window, standard cash pricing starts at $150 for 2WD vehicles and $200 for 4WD / AWD vehicles.
After-hours pricing can also depend on traffic, distance, weather, vehicle access, mileage, destination, and whether the vehicle needs extra work such as no-key handling, tight garage access, or winching.
Roadside services such as jump starts, lockouts, flat tire service, fuel delivery, and mobile battery replacement are priced differently from towing because the labor, equipment, and service time are different.
For the most accurate price, share your closest cross streets, vehicle type, what happened, destination if towing is needed, key status, and whether the vehicle rolls and steers.
