In a community like Miramichi, towing is personal - the 4 operators listed here cover the town and a wide rural radius around it, and they know every concession road on it.
New Brunswick towing operates under general consumer law and municipal rules. Accident tows are typically covered through your insurer's claim. Private-property towing requires posted signage in Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton.
The Trans-Canada (Route 2) is the spine - long forested stretches between exits mean noting the nearest kilometre marker when you call for help genuinely speeds up your rescue. Moose are a real nighttime hazard on the 7, 8 and 11; if you hit one, treat it as a serious collision and call 911.
Ice storms are NB's specialty hazard - when freezing rain is forecast on 511, the safest tow is the one you don't need. Winch-outs surge after every event.

Around Miramichi, expect a typical hook-up fee of $80–$115 plus roughly $3.00–$4.25 per kilometre for a standard light-duty tow, before tax. Nights, storms, winching and heavy vehicles cost more; short in-town tows often land near the minimum. Always ask for the all-in price to your destination before the truck rolls - reputable operators quote it without hesitation. Roadside fixes (boosts, lockouts, tire changes) usually run a flat $45–$120 and are worth asking about first.
