Chicago access details matter
A car parked on a wide driveway is different from a car blocked in an alley, stuck in a low garage, parked in a paid lot, or sitting near a busy street.
Good access notes help the buyer plan the right truck and pickup window.
- Garage height limits
- Narrow alley access
- Permit parking restrictions
- Tow yard release requirements
- Whether another vehicle blocks access
