Towing to a shop, your home or a dealer
Car won't start, won't move, or isn't safe to drive? Send one request and certified tow operators near you get it by text and send their price. You pick one, and you pay them directly after the tow, on their itemized invoice. No booking fee.
Unsafe, or anyone hurt? Call 911. On a 400-series highway or the QEW? Call 511.
When you need a tow
- It won't start, and a boost didn't help
- Warning lights, smoke, leaks or a strange noise
- A breakdown on a highway or a busy road
- Moving a car that doesn't run to a shop, home or buyer
- An all-wheel-drive, electric or lowered car that should ride on a flatbed

It helps the operator to know
- Where you are, or share your GPS location
- Where it should go: the shop's name and address, or home
- Year, make, model and colour
- If it's all-wheel drive, electric, lowered or in a garage
- Your keys, if you have them
Before you call
Flatbed or wheel-lift?
Say so if your car is all-wheel drive, electric or low to the ground. Those usually go on a flatbed, and the request reaches operators who have one.
You choose where it goes
Your own mechanic, your dealer, your home: it is your car and your call. Put the address in the request.
Get it in writing
You get the price by text before work starts. Ontario also gives you rights on consent, rates and invoices, set out on our rights page.
Can you tow it to my own mechanic?
Yes. Put the shop's name and address in the request. You choose where it goes.
Can I ride in the tow truck?
Ask the operator. Many trucks have room for a passenger, but it's their call and depends on the truck.
Do you tow motorcycles, RVs or big trucks?
Some operators do. Say what it is in the notes and it goes to the operators with the right equipment.
