Is this what you need?

When drivers book accident towing.

The situations below are the most common reasons Chicago drivers reach out to us, and each one is something our technicians handle regularly, not as a rare exception.

Our towing and accident pickup service transports your vehicle safely from an accident scene, or any location, directly to our shop, so you don't have to arrange separate towing before starting your repair.

Drivers who've just been in an accident

If this sounds like your situation, we can walk you through your options during a free visit near O'Hare.

Anyone needing their vehicle transported safely to a repair shop

We work with Chicago drivers in this exact situation on a regular basis.

Insurance claim customers wanting a streamlined process

This is one of the most common reasons local drivers reach out to our shop.

What's included

Everything covered in the job.

Vehicle pickup from accident scene or other location

This is included at no extra charge as part of your visit, and our technicians never skip it, even on smaller jobs.

Safe transport to our shop

We handle this step carefully so your repair stays on schedule and holds up over time.

Coordination with your insurance company for towing related claims

This is one of the details that separates a quick cosmetic fix from a lasting, professional repair.

Immediate start of damage assessment upon arrival

Getting this right is what makes the finished result blend seamlessly with the rest of your vehicle.

We handle every vehicle pickup with care, so your car arrives at our shop ready for inspection and repair.

Not sure if this is the right repair?

Send a photo of the damage and we'll tell you what it needs — often without you leaving the driveway.

How it works

How the repair actually runs.

  1. 01

    Contact us after an accident

    We keep you informed throughout this step so there are no surprises along the way.

  2. 02

    We arrange pickup and transport of your vehicle

    This is where our experience with Chicago vehicles and Chicago weather really matters.

  3. 03

    Vehicle arrives at our shop for inspection

    Most customers are surprised at how quickly this step moves once their vehicle is with us.

  4. 04

    Damage assessment and insurance coordination begins

    We double check our work at this stage before moving on to the next part of the repair.

  5. 05

    Repair process starts

    This step is designed to protect both the quality of the repair and your vehicle's long-term value.

Getting an estimate

Free estimates — quoted from your car, not a price list.

Every job gets its own estimate

No two repairs are the same, so we don't quote from a price list. We look at the actual damage — in person or from photos — and give you a written, itemised estimate before any work starts.

  • Estimates are free and carry no obligation.
  • You approve the written estimate before we touch the car.
  • If hidden damage shows up mid-repair, we call you before anything changes.

Insurance job? We handle it.

For covered repairs we work directly with your insurance company — the paperwork, the photos, the supplements — and bill your carrier. You pay your deductible and that's it.

Paying out of pocket instead? The same written estimate applies either way.
