$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.

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.
From your request to your driver in Thorold
Book online or by phone
Tell us where you are in Thorold, your vehicle and what you need. One price, shown before you book: $119 plus HST for roadside help, and one fixed price for a tow under 250 km.
An operator takes it
Every approved operator whose areas reach Thorold gets it at once. When an operator takes your job, we text you who is coming and when they expect to reach you. If nobody has taken it within 20 minutes, our team steps in to find one and we text you where it stands.
Watch them come
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.
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.
Which side of the canal
Say which side of the canal you are on and the nearest cross street: a bridge up can send the operator the long way round.
