What makes roadside assistance different in Chicago City Sides?

The National Weather Service records 121.3 nights a year at or below freezing and 6.5 at or below zero at O'Hare, and those numbers do most of the explaining for city roadside work. A car parked outside for four winter months in Portage Park or Chatham will need a jump at some point, and it is cheaper for everyone if that is all it needs.
