Light duty towing in Chicago for cars, sedans, and small SUVs that cannot be driven.

Safe Transport for Everyday Vehicles

When your car will not start or has been in a minor collision in Chicago, you need a way to move it without causing further damage. RBG Towing & Recovery Inc provides light duty towing designed specifically for everyday vehicles such as sedans, compact cars, and small SUVs. Chicago drivers rely on this service when their vehicle has broken down on a residential street, in a parking garage, or along a busy corridor where leaving it in place is not an option.

This service uses proper towing methods that protect your vehicle during loading and transport. The driver selects the right attachment points, secures the wheels, and ensures the vehicle remains stable throughout the trip. Light duty towing is commonly requested for non-drivable vehicles, short-distance moves, and situations where a car needs to be relocated to a repair shop or home address without delay.

How Light Duty Towing Protects Your Car

The driver arrives in Chicago with a tow truck equipped with either a flatbed platform or a wheel-lift system, depending on the condition of your vehicle and the space available. The vehicle is carefully positioned, and straps or chains are attached to designated tow points to avoid stress on the frame or suspension. The process takes into account whether your car has front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive, as each configuration requires a different towing approach.

After your vehicle is secured, it is transported with minimal movement or shifting, reducing the chance of scratches, undercarriage damage, or fluid leaks. You will notice that your car arrives in the same condition it was loaded, without additional wear from dragging or improper weight distribution.

This service is well-suited for residential streets and apartment-heavy areas where space is limited and precision is required. The driver is familiar with navigating congested city traffic safely and knows how to maneuver around parked cars, narrow alleys, and low-clearance garages. Light duty towing does not include mechanical repair, vehicle diagnostics, or jump-starts, but it does provide reliable transport when your vehicle cannot move on its own.

Common concerns about towing a personal vehicle

Drivers often want to know how their car will be handled, what precautions are taken during loading, and whether certain conditions affect the towing process.

What vehicles qualify as light duty?
Light duty towing is designed for cars, sedans, compact SUVs, and other vehicles that weigh less than 10,000 pounds. This includes most daily drivers and personal vehicles.
How is my car secured during the tow?
Your vehicle is attached using straps or chains at factory-designated tow points, and the wheels are either lifted off the ground or placed on a flatbed. The driver checks the load before departing to ensure stability.
Can a car with a flat tire be towed?
Yes, a flat tire does not prevent towing. The driver will load the vehicle in a way that keeps weight off the damaged tire and avoids dragging it across the pavement.
What if my car is parked in a tight space?
The driver is experienced with working in narrow driveways, underground garages, and crowded street parking in Chicago. If access is limited, the truck can be repositioned or a different loading method can be used.
How far can my vehicle be towed?
Light duty towing is available throughout the Chicago service area and can accommodate both short and longer distances depending on your needs. The driver will confirm the destination before loading your vehicle.

When your car cannot be driven and needs to be moved safely in Chicago, RBG Towing & Recovery Inc provides light duty towing with the right equipment and careful handling. Call (312) 825-2365 to request service and get your vehicle where it needs to go.
