Car Towing in Elmhurst, IL
Your car just stopped. Now what?
Whether it died at a red light, won’t turn over in your driveway, or was damaged in a fender bender, Elmhurst Towing’s Car Towing service gets your sedan, coupe, hatchback, or compact car to safety without adding to the stress. We’re local, we’re available 24/7, and we handle every car like it’s our own.
Three Calls We Get All the Time
“It won’t start, and I’ve already tried a jump.”
When a jump doesn’t solve it, the problem could be the alternator, starter, or something deeper. We’ll tow your car to your home or the shop of your choice so you can get a proper diagnosis.
“I was in an accident, and my car isn’t safe to drive.”
After a collision, leaking fluids, bent wheels, or a damaged frame can make driving dangerous. We’ll move your car carefully to a repair facility, your home, or wherever you need it.
“My car is stuck or parked where it shouldn’t be.”
Disabled in a lot, blocked in, or sitting somewhere it can’t stay? We can relocate it quickly and without damage.
Flatbed vs. Traditional Towing
Most people don’t know there’s a difference until they need a tow, so here’s a quick breakdown.
Traditional towing is our standard method. The front or rear wheels are lifted off the ground while the other two roll along the road. It works well for standard cars that roll freely and don’t have far to go.
Flatbed towing is available on request. Your car rides on the bed of the truck with all four wheels off the ground, which protects it from wear, scratches, and drivetrain strain. It’s the better choice for accident damage, all-wheel-drive vehicles, low-clearance cars, and high-value vehicles.
Not sure which one your car needs? Just tell us the make and model when you call, and we’ll recommend the safest option.
Before the Driver Arrives
A little preparation makes the pickup go faster:
- Have your location ready, including a cross street or landmark.
- Know your car’s year, make, and model.
- Take your valuables and personal items out of the car.
- Let us know if your car is in park, neutral, or won’t shift.
- Tell us where you’d like it taken.
