Evanston: Northwestern's campus sits on the lake in a city that runs strict residential permit parking and its own municipal impound, so a tow here is a village matter, not a Chicago pound matter.

What makes flatbed towing different in North & Northwest Suburbs?

Arlington Heights runs a median household income over $100,000 and Elk Grove Village sits against O'Hare, so the fleet out here is newer than the metro average and flatbed is the default request rather than the upgrade. Rental returns near O'Hare in Des Plaines and Schiller Park are almost entirely late-model all-wheel drive, which flatbeds by policy, not by preference.

Why flatbed towing instead of wheel lift?

Anything all-wheel drive needs flatbed towing, full stop - wheel lifts leave two wheels on the ground and the spinning driveshaft destroys the transfer case. EVs are the same story - dragging a Tesla or Rivian with drive wheels on the ground fries the motor. Sports cars and lowered cars need a flatbed because wheel lifts lift only one end and the other end scrapes. If you're not sure, call, we'll tell you honestly which is right.
