Vars is a small village east of Ottawa in Osgoode Ward, and it does not have a repair shop or gas station of its own. A stall on Highway 417, a flat tire on Rockdale Road, or a dead battery outside St-Guillaume School means calling someone who can actually make the drive out and make it fast.

Breaking Down on Highway 417 Near Vars

Breaking Down on Highway 417 Near Vars

Highway 417 runs right past Vars, and a breakdown near the exit puts you farther from a repair shop than it would in the city. There is no shoulder service nearby, and traffic moves fast enough that a stalled vehicle needs quick, careful handling.

We send trucks equipped for highway recovery, not just local towing. That means safe positioning on the shoulder, proper signage, and a fast pickup so you are not exposed to passing traffic any longer than necessary.

How Help Reaches You in Vars, Step by Step

A flatbed for a damaged vehicle. A heavy wrecker for a stalled farm truck. Winching gear for a ditch recovery. Dispatch selects the right equipment based on your situation and the road conditions around you.

3. You Know the Price Before We Roll

You receive a clear price based on your vehicle and the service needed before the truck moves. No hidden fees. No surprises when the job is done. Work only begins once you approve the quote.

Ditch and Farm Equipment Recovery Around Frank Kenny Road

Ditch and Farm Equipment Recovery Around Frank Kenny Road

Frank Kenny Road and Rockdale Road do not have the curbs or shoulders you would find in Ottawa’s core. Rain, snow, and loose gravel can push a vehicle into a ditch faster than most drivers expect.

During harvest season, farm equipment sometimes needs a tow of its own. Our team carries winching gear built for soft ground and can recover both passenger vehicles and larger equipment from rural laneways without causing further damage.

About Vars, Ontario

Vars is a compact rural community in Osgoode Ward, in the east end of Ottawa. The village was first settled around 1836 and had grown into a small settlement soon after. Its population reached 1,579 at the 2021 Census. The community was originally known as Bearbrook Station, named for the Bear Brook waterway that once powered a local sawmill. It was renamed Vars in 1881, with two different stories behind the name still told locally.

The village is home to Alcide Trudeau Park, the St-Guillaume French elementary school, and Ottawa Fire Service Station 73, relocated to the south end of Frank Kenny Road in 2007. The Vars Community Association keeps residents connected through newsletters and local events. A handful of small businesses, including a pizzeria and a pharmacy, serve the community directly.

Canadian Towing has served Vars and the surrounding Osgoode Ward since 2015. Our licensed and insured operators provide 24/7 towing, vehicle recovery, and roadside assistance with fast dispatch and transparent pricing.

“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.”
