Roadside assistance
Stuck on the side of the road? We come to you.
Not every call needs a tow. For the everyday problems, we'll fix it right where you are and get you back on your way.
Lockouts
Keys locked inside? We'll get your door open without damaging the lock or the paint.
Flat tire changes
We'll swap your flat for your spare on the spot, so you can drive yourself to the shop.
Fuel delivery
Ran out of gas? We'll bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest station.
Winch-outs
Slid into a ditch, snowbank or mud? We'll winch your vehicle back onto solid ground.
Breakdowns & accidents
If it can't be fixed roadside, we'll load it on the flatbed and take it wherever it needs to go.
Towing
Short haul or long haul, your vehicle rides on the deck
Every tow goes on our flatbed. All four wheels stay off the road, so your drivetrain, bumpers and tires don't take a beating along the way.

Are you really open 24/7?
Yes. Call any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays.
How long will it take you to get to me?
It depends on where you are and what time it is. When you call, we'll give you an honest arrival time before we head out.
Is scrap car removal really free?
Yes. We pick up scrap and unwanted cars in Ottawa and the surrounding area at no charge. It doesn't matter whether the car runs.
What do I need to scrap my car?
Your ownership (vehicle permit) in your name. Take your licence plates off, since in Ontario they stay with you, and clear out your belongings before we arrive.
Can you tow an AWD, 4x4, electric or lowered car?
Yes. We only tow by flatbed, so all four wheels are off the ground. That's the safe way to move AWD, 4x4 and electric vehicles, and the deck tilts low enough for most lowered cars.
Do you do long-distance towing?
Yes. We move vehicles city to city across Ontario and into Quebec. Call with the pickup and drop-off locations and we'll give you a quote.
My car won't start. Do I need a tow or a boost?
Tell us what's happening when you call. If it sounds like a dead battery, we'll try a boost first. If that doesn't do it, we'll tow it to the shop of your choice.
