The cost of your tow will depend on how far your vehicle needs to be transported. Generally speaking, the farther away your destination is from our pickup location, the more expensive it will be. The additional cost comes from fuel expenses as well as time spent driving. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the distance fees before we start the job so there are no surprise charges when all is said and done.

​Another factor that affects pricing is weight. The heavier a vehicle is, the more difficult it can be for us to move it safely onto our flatbed truck or trailer. If necessary, special equipment may need to be used that requires extra labor and materials which can increase cost significantly. We will always inform you of any additional weight fees before beginning a job so you can make an informed decision about whether or not you want us to proceed with the tow.

​In addition to basic car tows, we also offer other services such as winching out stuck vehicles, jump starts for dead batteries, and tire changes for flat tires. Depending on the complexity of these services, additional fees may apply which will be discussed with you prior to beginning work on your vehicle. However, rest assured knowing that our prices are fair and competitive compared with other similar companies offering similar services in Elgin, IL!

The first step is to know your rights when it comes to getting your car back. You should never pay any fees until you have spoken to the tow truck operator or the tow company directly. This is because different states have different laws regarding how much money can be charged for a tow and storage fees, so you want to make sure that you're not paying more than necessary. It's also important to remember that if the tow truck operator refuses to answer any of your questions or provide proof of their license, then don't pay them anything!

Once you've established what the process is for retrieving your vehicle, it's time to understand how it works. Depending on where you live, there may be certain steps required before getting your vehicle back—for example, some states require payment of fines before a vehicle can be released from an impound lot or require proof of insurance before releasing a towed vehicle. Make sure that you are aware of these steps so that they don't come as a surprise when trying to get your vehicle back.

The best way to avoid having your car towed in the first place is by being prepared! Always check parking signs before leaving your vehicle in a spot; this will help ensure that it isn't marked for tow by law enforcement officers or private property owners. Additionally, make sure that all of your paperwork is up-to-date (such as registration and insurance) so that if an officer does pull up while you're parked somewhere they don't need to take further action against you. Finally, keep an extra set of keys in case one gets lost while out on the road—this will make retrieving your vehicle easier if something unexpected happens!
