Flatbed Towing in Chicago: what to expect
A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which is what AWD cars, EVs, lowered and classic cars need. Around Wicker Park, Hyde Park and West Loop we see plenty of them, and the flatbed is the default for anything that should not be dragged on I-290.
Help is typically 30-45 minutes. We cover Wicker Park, Hyde Park and West Loop and the rest of Cook County.
