Towing And Roadside Assistance Across Downtown And Centretown

Roadside assistance service by Canadian Towing Ottawa for emergency vehicle support

Roadside assistance

24 hour towing service

Road work and heavy traffic can leave downtown drivers with nowhere safe to stop. Our 24 hour towing service sends a certified operator to your location in the core at any hour, with a fixed price confirmed before the truck leaves.

Battery boost

Cold weather and underground parking structures make batteries fail without warning in the downtown core. Our battery boost service reaches you in any parkade level from $80, tests the charge on the spot, and confirms the battery holds before we leave.

Out of gas service

One-way streets and dense traffic make it nearly impossible to reach a station before running dry. Our out of gas service delivers fuel directly to your vehicle so you are back on the road without abandoning your car in a no-stopping zone.

Accident and Collision Towing

Electric Car Towing

Visiting EV drivers in the downtown core need zero-degree flatbed transport to protect their drivetrain from damage. Our electric car towing uses EV-compatible hardware for Tesla, GM, and Ford electric models, with equipment chosen to avoid drivetrain and body damage.

Flatbed Towing

Low-clearance parking garage ramps can damage the underside of your vehicle. Our flatbed towing loads at ground level using the right securement methods to help avoid extra damage during pickup and transport.

Heavy duty towing

Commercial vehicles that break down in busy no-stopping areas need quick removal. Our heavy duty towing uses the right equipment for larger vehicles, with certified operators available around the clock.

Motorcycle towing

Cold starts and stop-and-go urban traffic cause mechanical failures that leave bikes stranded in active lanes. Our motorcycle towing uses bike-specific tie-downs and damage-free flatbed loading for sport bikes, tourers, and classics.

Winching service

Vehicles pinned in tight parking structures or stuck against elevated curbs in urban lots require controlled extraction. Our winching service uses proper recovery equipment with trained operators who get your vehicle out clean without adding to the damage.

Trucks are positioned across the city to cover the downtown core, Centretown, and the bridge corridors. The closest operator is confirmed and en route within minutes, with a real ETA before they leave.

The right equipment goes under the right vehicle. EVs and AWDs go on the flatbed. Motorcycles get bike-specific tie-downs. Every load is checked twice before the truck moves.

“I had such a great experience with this towing company over the weekend! I was stuck in a stressful situation, but they turned it around completely. From the moment I called, their customer service was friendly, responsive, and reassuring. Nathan, in particular, was outstanding. He arrived quickly, had a great attitude, and immediately made me feel at ease. He was professional, knowledgeable, and handled my vehicle with real care. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about helping people. I’m incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend this company to anyone in need of reliable roadside assistance. Five stars all the way!”

“Fantastic & professional service from Canadian Towing this weekend. Car electrics failed, tow truck arrived within timeframe promised, operator suggested a boost as a less expensive option, I declined as I did not trust the car, car towed quickly and professionally where I wanted it for price advertised. Operator never tried to tow the car at a place of his choosing, at all - I got that in the past with other companies. Pretty reasonable cost, clear paperwork, all electronic. All done quickly without being rushed. Very courteous operator, good chat on the way. Well impressed. Use Canadian Towing with confidence.”
