What drives the price

Why motorcycle tow pricing costs what it does in Northwest Side

Lake Shore Drive and the lakefront neighbourhoods carry heavy motorcycle traffic from April through October, and a bike that goes down there needs wheel chocks and soft straps rather than a hook. City blocks add a second problem the price has to account for: bikes parked in spaces so tight the recovery starts by hand before the truck can be positioned at all.

The Kennedy runs diagonally across the whole side with the Blue Line in its median, and Milwaukee Avenue runs the same diagonal at street level. This is where the winter overnight parking ban bites hardest in residential Chicago, because Milwaukee, Irving Park and Cicero are exactly the kind of arterial it covers, and bungalow blocks with short driveways generate the blocked-driveway calls on top.

Local context

How we work Northwest Side

The Northwest Side is Chicago's Polish and Mexican bungalow belt and the Spanish-language center of the North Side. Belmont Cragin holds roughly 72,100 residents and is 78.1 percent Hispanic, Portage Park about 63,000 and 40.9 percent Hispanic, Hermosa 22,600 and 84.9 percent Hispanic, Montclare 14,300 and 60.7 percent, Dunning 41,200 and 36.7 percent, Jefferson Park 26,600 and 26.9 percent. The Kennedy Expressway cuts diagonally across the entire side with the Blue Line running in its median, and Milwaukee Avenue, the old Northwest Plank Road, runs the same diagonal at street level. Six Corners at Irving Park, Cicero and Milwaukee is one of the best-known intersections in the city, and the Portage Theater and the Copernicus Center at the Jefferson Park transit center anchor the two commercial cores. Montrose station sits in the Kennedy median. This is where the winter overnight parking ban bites hardest in residential Chicago: the ban runs on 107 miles of arterials from 3am to 7am, December 1 through April 1, whether or not snow is present, and Milwaukee, Irving Park and Cicero are exactly that kind of street. Bungalow blocks with short driveways and shared gangways produce the blocked-driveway calls the city routes through 312-746-4520. Operators cover the Kennedy corridor, Six Corners and the Milwaukee Avenue spine, and we answer in Spanish here as a matter of course.

Northwest Side pricing FAQs

Common Northwest Side cost questions

How much does motorcycle towing cost in Northwest Side?

Motorcycle towing in Northwest Side is quoted before the truck rolls, and the quote covers the whole job rather than a starting figure that grows on arrival. A local chock-and-strap tow and a flatbed run for a sport, touring or damaged bike are different jobs, so tell us which bike and where it is and you get one number.

Does my motorcycle need a flatbed instead of a chock in Northwest Side?

A flatbed is the right call for a bike that won't sit upright safely, a low-clearance sport bike, or anything with fairing damage. In Northwest Side we make that call over the phone and quote the flatbed rate up front if that's what the bike needs.

Is motorcycle towing more expensive at night in Northwest Side?

Calls between 10pm and 6am add a set after-hours surcharge, quoted before dispatch, because a truck and driver have to be working overnight. We don't add weekend or event-night markups on top of that.

Yes. We run chock-and-strap and flatbed trucks across Northwest Side around the clock, and every driver knows how to secure a bike without scuffing paint or bending a lever. Call (773) 830-6930 for a quote.
