Artie’s Towing

A Family-Owned Towing Company Serving Elgin & Beyond Since 1980

At Artie’s Towing, we do more than tow cars — we provide peace of mind when you need it most. Since 1980, we’ve proudly served drivers throughout Elgin, Bartlett, Hanover Park, Streamwood, Schaumburg, and surrounding communities. What started as a small, family-run operation with just two trucks has grown into a fleet of 13 trucks, staffed by a dedicated team committed to getting you back on the road quickly, safely, and affordably.

For over four decades, we’ve remained focused on one simple goal: to deliver fast, fair, and reliable towing and roadside assistance whenever you need it — day or night, 365 days a year.
