Towing and roadside help in Penetanguishene

A harbour town at the foot of Penetanguishene Bay on Georgian Bay, next door to Midland, where Highway 93 ends and Main Street runs down to the water.

One price

The same price in Penetanguishene as anywhere

Roadside help

$119 plus HST for a boost, a lockout, a spare tire put on or fuel brought to you (enough to reach a station). Paid when you book and held until the job is done.

A tow under 250 km

One fixed price, shown before you book: $135 plus HST covers hook-up and the first 10 km, then $4.50 per km; a flatbed (all-wheel drive, electric, or wheels that won't roll) adds $50 and a night (8 PM to 6 AM) or weekend tow adds $75. Your card is held, not charged, until after the tow.

Quotes first

Tows over 250 km, accident tows, winch-outs and auto glass get quotes from operators first. A tow is never more than the tow operator's posted maximum rates.

Rather call (289) 277-6508? A tow under 250 km, for now or up to 2 days ahead, gets the same fixed price on the phone, with no deposit. We text you a link with your booking filled in: you check it and book, and your card is held, not charged, until after the tow.

An operator takes it

Running late? Your call

If your driver is running late on a job you wanted now, we text you (with their new time, when they have sent one), and you can wait, or cancel before they reach you and pay nothing.

Getting found fast

Hills down to the bay

Main Street drops steeply to the water. Stuck on a hill in snow or ice? Say if the car is stuck or won't start: one needs a winch-out, the other a boost.

Questions

Penetanguishene: good to know

How much is a tow in Penetanguishene?

A tow under 250 km has one fixed price, shown before you book: $135 plus HST covers hook-up and the first 10 km, then $4.50 per km; a flatbed (all-wheel drive, electric, or wheels that won't roll) adds $50 and a night (8 PM to 6 AM) or weekend tow adds $75. A 15 km tow on a weekday in the daytime, for example, is $157.50 plus HST. Longer tows, accident tows and winch-outs get quotes first. Roadside help (a boost, a lockout, a spare tire put on or fuel) is $119 plus HST.

How soon can someone get to me in Penetanguishene?

It depends on where the operators are, the time of day and the weather, so we won't promise a number before someone takes your job. When an operator takes your job, we text you who is coming and when they expect to reach you. Once they set off, your request page shows their truck on a live map: on its way to you and, for a tow, on to the drop-off. If your driver is running late on a job you wanted now, we text you (with their new time, when they have sent one), and you can wait, or cancel before they reach you and pay nothing.

Do you cover all of Penetanguishene?

Yes. We take requests from anywhere in Penetanguishene and the places around it, like Discovery Harbour, Lafontaine and Perkinsfield, and each one goes to the operators whose areas reach it, so we never promise a truck in town. If nobody can reach you, we tell you quickly and refund you in full.

Can I book by phone in Penetanguishene?

Yes. Call (289) 277-6508 any time and tell us where you are in Penetanguishene. It's the same price on the phone, $119 plus HST: we text you a link to book and pay. A tow under 250 km, for now or up to 2 days ahead, gets the same fixed price on the phone, with no deposit. We text you a link with your booking filled in: you check it and book, and your card is held, not charged, until after the tow.
