Chicago neighborhoods
Ordered by how close they sit to our West Ridge storefront, starting with the blocks around it.
- West RidgeOur storefront is on the same stretch of Western as Warren Park, so West Ridge pickups start close to home.
- Rogers ParkFour Red Line stops sit inside it, Howard to Loyola; the nearest one plus a cross street pins the car down.
- EdgewaterHigh-rises line the lake side and flats fill the west, so tell us which kind of building the car is at.
- UptownOnce 2 inches of snow hit the street, main-street bans can start at any hour, so a stalled car shouldn't wait.
- Lincoln SquareMostly houses and small apartment buildings, so tell us if the car is out front, in a driveway or in back.
- North ParkTwo campuses and two large cemeteries take up much of North Park, so a cross street helps us find the car.
- North CenterLane Tech, the old Riverview site and the Brown Line stops are easy landmarks for telling us where the car is.
- LakeviewWrigley Field events bring LV2 permit rules from 5 to 10 p.m., so book a nearby pickup outside those hours.
- Lincoln ParkThe southernmost area on our list, down to North Avenue. The tow is free, unlike a city tow off a winter ban street.
North suburbs
Each village has its own rules on inoperable cars and snow parking, so these pages lean on the local code.
- EvanstonEvanston's code bars keeping a car that won't run on any premises, driveways included, so don't let it sit.
- SkokieSkokie counts a car with parts missing for 14 days as inoperable, and one in public view is a nuisance.
- LincolnwoodLincolnwood wants dead cars kept in an enclosed structure, so one sitting in the driveway breaks the rule.
- Morton GroveNudging a dead car a few feet doesn't fix Morton Grove's nuisance rule; it has to go, or go in a garage.
- WilmettePlates more than 30 days expired make a parked car abandoned under Wilmette's code, so lapsed tags matter.
- GlenviewNo street parking 2 to 6 a.m. from December through March, so a dead car at the curb has to go.
What doesn't change from place to place
The tow is free everywhere on this list, you're paid in cash when the car is collected, and same-day pickup is often possible. What changes is the spot: a permit-zone block, an alley garage, a condo ramp or a village driveway. Our guide to pickup from condo and apartment parking covers the tricky ones, and free junk car removal explains the tow itself. Ready for a number? Get an offer.
