Tow recommendations?

My water pump went out and I likely need my car towed to a repair shop. I'm guessing a flat bed would be best. My car would need to be picked up and driven to Lombard. (roughly 25 miles).

Anyone have a hookup or can recommend anyone/company? It would need to be low car friendly.

Thanks guys.

GL bro. Luke says he just uses AAA but make sure to tell them your car is lowered and to have a series of boards to get it on the flat bed.

When my Porsche ate its engine, Loeber had me use C&D towing. The showed up with a big flatbed and did a great job! I think it was about $150 to get the car from Wicker Park to Lincolnwood.

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

Do you think my insurance will cover the tow cost? I am insured for towing, but technically I didn't get into an accident.

i think it depends on the insurance company. i think AAA allows a 50 mile radius no questions.

Hey man your insurance will cover it. Or at least it should if its a half reputable company.

ps I own my own brokerage so I have some credibility
