About


Does your car ever go bump in the night thanks to the plethora of potholes on the streets of Chicago? One pothole can ruin your whole day, and Chicago has over 625,000 of them so even the most attentive drivers fall victim at some point.

Hitting potholes is more than just a minor annoyance for the average driver. The time and energy commuters waste on changing flat tires, fixing bent rims and broken suspensions is a real concern that costs thousands of dollars in both repair and lost productivity.

Have you ever wished you could just avoid the headache all together? Instead of yelling “Holy, Sh*t!,” you’ll be yelling “Holey, Chi!”

From the convenience of one site you can enter your address and view newly reported potholes and recently fixed ones so you can learn what routes to avoid to make your commute a breeze. You can also find information on how to file claims with the city for auto damages and report new potholes to help keep the community safe.
