What we do

Towing & roadside

Light-duty towing and roadside help for cars, pickups, SUVs and vans. Not sure if we can handle it? Call — we'll tell you straight.

Flatbed towing

All four wheels off the ground. The safe way to move AWD, low cars, and anything you care about — after a breakdown, an accident, or just because it needs to go somewhere.

Jump start

Dead battery in the lot or the driveway. We get it going. If the battery's finished, we'll say so instead of pretending.

Lockout

Keys locked inside. We open it without wrecking the door or the window.

Flat tire

We'll throw your spare on right there on the shoulder. No spare? We tow you to a tire shop.

Won't start / stuck

Out of gas, stuck in snow or a ditch, or it just won't turn over. Tell us what's happening and we'll sort it.

Junk car removal

Old car sitting dead in the driveway or lot. We haul it away.

Straight pricing

No surprise fees. Ever.

Tow companies have a reputation for quoting one number on the phone and a different one once your car's on the truck. We don't do that. You hear the full price before we dispatch, and that's the price you pay.

How it works

What happens when you call

You're probably stressed and standing on the side of a road. Here's exactly how it goes, so there's nothing to guess about.

  1. You call, we pick up

    No phone tree. Tell us where you are, what car it is, and what's wrong.

  2. Price and ETA

    A flat price and an honest arrival time based on where our truck is right now.

  3. We come to you

    Stay somewhere safe — in the car with hazards on, or well off the shoulder. Watch for the white F-550 flatbed with the Nash & Sons logo on the door.

  4. We handle it

    Fix it on the spot if we can. If not, we load up and take it wherever you say.

Where we go

Questions

Before you call

How much does a tow cost?

It depends on distance and what's involved, so we quote each job on the phone. What we can promise: the number we give you is the number you pay. No add-ons once we show up.

Do you tow in the city, or just the suburbs?

Both. We're based in Des Plaines and cover Chicago and the suburbs. Give us your location when you call and we'll confirm an ETA on the spot.

How fast can you get here?

Depends where our truck is when you call. We'll give you a real ETA, not a guess to make you happy — and if we can't get to you fast, we'll say so.

Can you take my car to my own mechanic?

Yes. Your mechanic, your house, a dealership, a tire shop — wherever you say.

What if I don't have a spare tire?

We'll tow you to the nearest tire shop that's open, or wherever you'd rather go.

Do you work with insurance or roadside plans?

We can give you a receipt to submit to your insurance or roadside program for reimbursement. Ask when you call.

Do you take cards?

Cash, card, or Zelle — whatever's easiest for you.

Stuck right now?

Don't fill out a form — call. A real person picks up, day or night.
