Pickup Truck & Work Vehicle Towing in Lake View East & Chicago’s North Side

Rick’s Emergency Roadside Assistance provides wheel-lift towing for pickup trucks, work vehicles, vans, small dual-wheel pickups, Sprinter-style vehicles, and select medium-duty towing situations when wheel-lift towing is appropriate.

Light-Duty Truck, SUV & Van Towing

Rick’s helps with light-duty truck towing, SUV towing, cargo van towing, work vehicle towing, and select medium-duty towing when wheel-lift towing is appropriate.

Start with the vehicle and situation

Share the vehicle year, make, model and drivetrain, whether the keys are available, and whether the wheels roll and steering works. Wheel-lift towing with dollies may suit a vehicle, but suitability depends on condition, dimensions and manufacturer instructions.

Check drivetrain, weight and wheel condition

Do not assume that a vehicle can be towed with two wheels on the road. AWD, 4WD, electric vehicles and damaged running gear require particular care. Provide the model, load, modifications and wheel condition; Rick’s will assess whether the wheel-lift truck and dollies are suitable. Heavy-duty and flatbed service are not advertised here.

When another solution may be needed

Give the pickup address, access route and intended destination. Mention damage, blocked wheels, a tight parallel space, gates or garage restrictions before dispatch. Rick’s will confirm equipment suitability, availability and price.

What to have ready

  • Exact address or cross streets and a safe callback number
  • Vehicle year, make, model and drivetrain if known
  • What happened, warning lights and whether it rolls or steers
  • Key availability, pickup access and the destination if towing is needed

Questions before arranging this tow

Can a parked car be towed without keys?

Sometimes. Missing keys can leave the steering, transmission or parking brake locked. Give the vehicle model, drivetrain, parking position and whether each wheel rolls. Rick’s must assess a suitable wheel-lift setup before accepting the job; do not force the shifter or steering.

What if a flatbed is required for my vehicle?

Rick’s does not offer flatbed towing. Manufacturer instructions, drivetrain, damage and access determine whether wheel-lift equipment with dollies is suitable. If it is not, the vehicle needs a provider with the required equipment. Confirm compatibility before booking.
