Roadside Assistance That Reaches Every Corner of Vars, Ottawa
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.
Canadian Towing serves the area from our Ottawa base, with regular calls along Highway 417 and Frank Kenny Road. We also cover nearby Kenmore, Russell, and Bearbrook for drivers who need help across the east end.
We carry full insurance and follow Ontario towing regulations on every call as your local Vars, Ontario towing company. You hear the price before the truck moves. Our operators know rural roads, gravel shoulders, and long stretches without cell coverage, so you are never left guessing when help will arrive.

Our team is avilable rain or shine, at any time of night.
Reliable Equipment

Clear Communication
We will tell you what’s happening with your car during each step of the process.

A delivery van breaks down outside the local pizzeria on a supply run, too heavy for a light-duty truck but not big enough for a heavy wrecker. Our Medium Duty Towing service matches the right unit to the vehicle for a clean recovery.
Flatbed, Long Distance, and Specialty Towing From Vars

Motorcycle Towing
A bike heading from Vars to seasonal storage before the first snow needs proper flatbed transport, not a rushed hook-up. Our Motorcycle Towing team uses soft straps and flatbed trucks so the bike arrives ready for spring.

A piece of farm equipment heading to a maintenance shop across the region needs the right truck for the weight and size. Our Heavy Duty Towing team handles oversized loads with the correct equipment from the start.

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
1. Call and Tell Us Where You Are
Call 613-869-2323 and let us know your vehicle type and exact location. Mention if you are on Highway 417, a farm laneway, or a specific road so we can plan the right approach before the truck leaves.
2. We Pick the Truck That Fits the Job
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.
4. Your Vehicle Arrives Safe and Sound
The closest available truck takes the fastest route out to Vars. Your vehicle is loaded and secured using professional equipment, then delivered safely to your chosen repair shop, dealership, or home.
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. From Highway 417 breakdowns to farm laneway recoveries, Vars residents can count on a team that understands rural roads and responds quickly.
