Locally Owned Ottawa Towing Company Serving Highway 416 Corridor

Towing And Roadside Assistance Services On Highway 416, Ottawa

Roadside assistance
24 hour towing service
A 24 hour tow truck breakdown on a rural shoulder leaves you stranded with no nearby exit, no gas station, and no safe way to walk for help. Our **24 hour towing service** dispatches a licensed operator to your exact highway location along the Veterans Memorial Highway, day or night, with a fixed price confirmed before the truck moves.
Battery boost
A dead battery boost call in January means you are sitting in sub-zero temperatures with no shelter and no nearby town. Canadian Towing provides fast **battery boost service** across the entire 416 corridor, and our technician arrives equipped to get your vehicle running on the spot so you can drive to safety.
Out of gas service
Running out of fuel on the 416 leaves you stranded between exits with no gas station for 30 kilometres or more. Canadian Towing provides fuel delivery directly to your vehicle through our **out of gas service** so you never have to abandon your car on a rural highway shoulder.
Accident and collision towing
Electric car towing
An EV that loses range on the 416 cannot limp to the next charging station because there are no charging stations on this corridor. We specialize in **electric car towing** using zero-degree flatbeds with EV-compatible attachment points, purpose-built for Tesla, hybrid, and electric models, with equipment chosen to avoid damage on highway recoveries.
Heavy duty towing
The 416 is a trade corridor connecting Ottawa to the 401 and southern Ontario, and commercial truck towing breakdowns need equipment most tow companies do not carry. Canadian Towing operates **heavy duty towing** and heavy equipment recovery units with the capacity to recover transport trucks, tractor-trailers, and oversized vehicles from the highway, median ditches, and soft shoulders.
Motorcycle towing
Two wheels on a rural highway shoulder require careful loading and tie-down procedures to prevent tip-overs and scratches. Our **motorcycle towing service** covers the full 416 corridor with damage-free flatbed transport from $150 + tax, trusted by Ottawa riders since 2015.
Winching service
A car stuck in a ditch after a wildlife collision, black ice, or blowing snow needs winching equipment, not just a flatbed. Our **winching service** handles ditch recovery calls on the 416 every season, pulling your vehicle from grass medians, soft shoulders, and rural ditches without causing additional damage. Recovery equipment rides on every truck we dispatch.
Flatbed towing
Flatbed towing recoveries on the 416 require a truck willing to drive 40 kilometres or more from Ottawa to reach you, and then transport your vehicle the full distance back. Our **flatbed towing** fleet loads at zero degrees with full strapping, protecting every vehicle from the rural highway shoulder to the repair shop. Rated #1 in Ottawa and backed by all major insurers.


Specialty towing
Corporate towing
A fleet vehicle stalled on the 416 during a long-haul delivery creates a logistics problem that gets worse with every hour it sits on a rural shoulder. Canadian Towing provides **corporate towing** for Ottawa businesses with priority dispatch, direct invoicing, and account support for fleet operators running the Ottawa-to-401 corridor.
Long-distance towing
Broke down and need your vehicle transported back to Ottawa or onward to Brockville, Kingston, or Toronto? Our **long-distance towing service** handles long-distance towing from any point on the 416 with secure flatbed transport, upfront pricing, and no hidden mileage fees. One call to handle the entire trip.
Private towing service
Unauthorized vehicles left on your commercial lot or private property cost you time and money every day they sit there. Our **private towing service** works with Ottawa property owners and managers to enforce parking policies with fast, compliant vehicle removal under Ontario regulations.
Vehicle storage
After a collision recovery call on the 416, your vehicle needs a secure facility while insurance claims and assessments are processed. Canadian Towing operates a licensed **vehicle storage facility in Ottawa** with documented access for vehicle owners and insurance adjusters on request.
Why Ottawa Drivers Trust Canadian Towing On Highway 416
We drive the distance
Most Ottawa tow companies will not dispatch 40 to 60 kilometres down a rural highway. Canadian Towing covers every exit on the 416 from the 417 interchange to the 401 junction.
No distance surcharges
The price our dispatcher quotes is the price you pay. Rural 416 calls cost the same fixed rate, no after-hours premiums, and no mileage fees added at the scene.
Winter and wildlife ready
Our trucks carry winching equipment, recovery gear, and flatbeds built for ditch pullouts, moose strikes, and sub-zero roadside recoveries on exposed rural stretches.
Long-distance towing included
Your vehicle can go back to Ottawa, onward to Brockville or Kingston, or anywhere along the 401. One fixed quote covers the full trip, no matter the distance.
How Our 24/7 Highway Towing Process Works On The 416
1. Call and share details
Call 613-869-2323 at any hour. Give us your nearest exit or kilometre marker on the 416, and we assign the closest operator with a fixed price quote before the truck moves.
2. Rural corridor dispatch
Our operator heads to your location using Highway 416 access points and local roads through Manotick, North Gower, and Kemptville. We give you an honest arrival estimate based on your distance from Ottawa.
3. Assess road conditions
Our operator evaluates your vehicle, ditch depth, road position, and weather conditions on arrival. The recovery method and final price are confirmed before any work begins.
4. Load and secure
Your vehicle is loaded using the correct equipment for its type. EVs and motorcycles go on zero-degree flatbeds, ditch recoveries use winching gear, and all-wheel-drive vehicles are handled with drivetrain-safe procedures.
5. Deliver anywhere needed
We transport your vehicle to the repair shop, dealership, or home of your choice. Long distance towing Highway 416 Ottawa calls can go to Kemptville, Brockville, Kingston, or anywhere along the 401 corridor. Insurance documentation is submitted directly to your carrier on request.


Safe EV and flatbed towing for rural highway breakdowns in Ottawa
Teslas, hybrids, and electric vehicles face a unique problem on the 416: there are no charging stations between Ottawa and the 401, and an EV that runs low on range has nowhere to stop. Canadian Towing carries flatbed trucks configured for low-clearance designs, non-standard spoilers, and EV-specific attachment points, with equipment chosen to avoid damage on every winter towing Highway 416 recovery.
Our flatbed fleet also handles motorcycles from $150 + tax, all-wheel-drive vehicles, sports cars, and anything with aftermarket modifications. A Veterans Memorial Highway tow truck operator using the wrong equipment on a rural highway recovery can turn a breakdown into a much more expensive problem, so every vehicle we load on the 416 gets the right truck for the job.
