Halifax towing and recovery, family-run since 1963
Anchor Towing & Recovery Ltd is a family-owned, multi-generational business based in Goodwood, Nova Scotia, operated by Stephen, Darryl and their team. The company has towed more than 33,600 vehicles since 1963 and brings over 50 years of hands-on experience to the Halifax Regional Municipality. It is WCB certified and fully insured, and serves as a preferred towing supplier for the RCMP in Halifax, Canada Post, ASG and Canadian Tire Roadside Service. Core services include flat deck and wrecker towing, heavy-duty towing, accident recovery, lockouts, battery boosts, gas delivery and flat tire service, along with boom truck and crane work for lifting materials. A specialized carrier handles motorcycle transport, and the company also moves boats and machinery on request. Flatbed service extends across southern Nova Scotia, while general towing covers Halifax, Bedford, Sackville, Prospect and the stretch from Peggy's Cove into Halifax. The compound is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and towing calls go straight to dispatch - the company notes it never routes calls through a call-forwarding service, so customers speak with an actual staff member rather than waiting on hold. Anchor Towing emphasizes a diverse fleet capable of handling everything from a stranded car in a parking lot to a boat that needs relocating, backed by decades of local reputation in the Halifax towing market. A published customer account describes a driver named Lawrence responding to a late-night breakdown in a parking lot and getting the vehicle running again on scene, avoiding a separate garage visit - the kind of call the company says its long-serving staff handle routinely.
