How much does a tow cost in Southwest Side without AAA?
No AAA or roadside membership in Southwest Side? A pay-per-use tow gets you moving, quoted before dispatch.
Why no-membership tow pricing costs what it does in Southwest 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.
Nine community areas here run between 59 and 89 percent Hispanic, and the Stevenson, Archer Avenue and Midway Airport sit on top of them. Twenty-Sixth Street in Little Village and the Pink Line stops through Pilsen concentrate the street-level demand, and the old stockyards rail land west of Halsted adds yard and apron work that a residential block does not.
How we work Southwest Side
The Southwest Side is the Spanish-language core of Chicago and one of the densest Mexican-American areas in the United States. Gage Park is 88.8 percent Hispanic, West Lawn 88 percent, South Lawndale, which everyone calls Little Village, 80.7 percent with about 69,900 residents, Archer Heights 79.5 percent, Brighton Park 78.8 percent, the Lower West Side, which everyone calls Pilsen, 68.2 percent, New City, which everyone calls Back of the Yards, 67.5 percent, Chicago Lawn 61 percent and Garfield Ridge 59.1 percent. The Stevenson Expressway runs along the district's northern edge with Pilsen exits at Damen and Ashland, Archer Avenue runs the old diagonal, and Cermak, Western, Ashland and Pulaski carry the rest. Twenty-Sixth Street in Little Village hosts the largest Hispanic parade in Chicago. Pilsen has three Pink Line stops at Western, Damen and 18th Street. New City is bounded by Pershing Road, Western, the Norfolk Southern tracks and Garfield Boulevard and held the Union Stock Yards from 1865 until 1971. Midway International Airport sits on the western flank. Every Spanish page on this site is written for a reader here, in the register people actually use: carro, grua, corralon. Operators cover the Stevenson corridor, the Midway edge and the 26th Street and Archer Avenue commercial spines.

Common Southwest Side cost questions
How much does a tow cost in Southwest Side without AAA?
A local tow in Southwest 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 Southwest Side?
It depends how often you need a tow. If you rarely break down, pay-per-use pricing in Southwest 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 Southwest Side?
We work both ways in Southwest 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 Southwest Side?
No. The price we quote you on the phone for Southwest 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.
