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.
Fast flatbed towing and roadside help across the city and suburbs, from a family-run company based in Des Plaines. A real person answers, and you get the price before a truck rolls.
What we do
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.

Dead battery in the lot or the driveway. We get it going. If the battery's finished, we'll say so instead of pretending.
Keys locked inside. We open it without wrecking the door or the window.
We'll throw your spare on right there on the shoulder. No spare? We tow you to a tire shop.
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.
Old car sitting dead in the driveway or lot. We haul it away.
Straight pricing
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
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.
No phone tree. Tell us where you are, what car it is, and what's wrong.
A flat price and an honest arrival time based on where our truck is right now.
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.
Fix it on the spot if we can. If not, we load up and take it wherever you say.
Where we go
We're based in Des Plaines and run the city and the suburbs — north, northwest, and everything around O'Hare. Some of the places we're in and out of every week:
Don't see your town? Call anyway. If we can reach you we'll say yes and give you an honest ETA; if we can't, we'll tell you instead of leaving you waiting.
On the job
No stock photos. This is the Ford F-550 with a Jerr-Dan flatbed that comes when you call — and what it looks like doing the job.

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.
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.
Yes. Your mechanic, your house, a dealership, a tire shop — wherever you say.
We'll tow you to the nearest tire shop that's open, or wherever you'd rather go.
We can give you a receipt to submit to your insurance or roadside program for reimbursement. Ask when you call.
Cash, card, or Zelle — whatever's easiest for you.
