Wheel-Lift Towing in Skokie, IL.
Wheel-lift towing for Skokie drivers, dispatched 24/7 by crews who run this metro every day. When you need to pull a standard sedan out of a narrow Berwyn side street or a packed Metra station lot, a wheel-lift truck can be the right tool. Smaller footprint than a flatbed, faster hook-up on many cars, and the assigned operator confirms whether that method is safe for your drivetrain.
What makes wheel-lift towing different in North & Northwest Suburbs?
Commuter lots at the Metra stations in Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights and Elgin are laid out tight, and a wheel lift moves a dead vehicle out of a packed row without needing an aisle wide enough for a deck. It is also the faster tool for a short move to a shop a mile away, which is most of what a station lot call turns out to be.
