How much does a tow cost in Northwest Side without AAA?
No AAA or roadside membership in Northwest Side? A pay-per-use tow gets you moving, quoted before dispatch.
Why no-membership tow pricing costs what it does in Northwest Side
Not having a membership does not mean paying a penalty in the city. Calls are quoted before dispatch, and for a lot of them, a jump, a lockout, a tire change, the honest answer is that you need a fifteen-minute service call rather than a tow at all. Membership plans price by the year and we price by the job.
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.
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.

Common Northwest Side cost questions
How much does a tow cost in Northwest Side without AAA?
A local tow in Northwest Side without AAA or any other membership is quoted before the truck rolls, and you pay for exactly the service you use. There is no monthly fee, no enrolment, and no waiting period, and if what you actually need is a jump or an unlock we will tell you that instead of selling you a tow.
Is it cheaper to have AAA than to pay per tow in Northwest Side?
It depends how often you need a tow. If you rarely break down, pay-per-use pricing in Northwest Side can cost less over a year than an annual membership. If you tow often, a membership may pencil out better, run the math for your situation.
Do you accept AAA even though I can call without it in Northwest Side?
We work both ways in Northwest Side, call us directly for a pay-per-use tow, or use your AAA coverage if you have it and prefer that route. Either way, tell dispatch which option you want.
Will the price change once the truck arrives in Northwest Side?
No. The price we quote you on the phone for Northwest Side is the price on the invoice. If the job turns out to need something different, like a flatbed instead of a wheel-lift, we'll tell you and requote before doing it.
