45+ years of family-run towing across Pictou County
Mahar's Towing has served New Glasgow and all of Pictou County, Nova Scotia since 1987, when owner-operator Billy Mahar, who has worked in the towing industry for more than 45 years, established the company. The locally owned business keeps a mixed fleet of trucks running around the clock, sized for everything from cars to heavy equipment, and its crews are regularly asked to assist the RCMP, area police departments, and CAA with towing support. Wheel lift and flatbed trucks are dispatched for roadside assistance and accident calls at any hour, medium-duty trucks manage motorhomes, cube vans, and 3-to-5-ton trucks, and heavy-duty wreckers take on transport trucks, tractors, and RVs, along with winching and recovery for rollovers and other accidents. Beyond towing, the company delivers fuel, boosts dead batteries, changes flat tires, and removes vehicles parked without permission from private properties. Its trucks also handle motorcycle towing, equipment hauling for construction, farm, and industrial gear, and property transportation for small barns, containers, and boats, both locally and long distance. Vehicles can be held at a gated, camera-monitored storage yard. In 2005, Billy Mahar placed second in the "Light Challenge" competition at the Tow Show in Brampton, Ontario, reflecting the depth of hands-on experience behind the company's day-to-day work. Mahar's Towing covers New Glasgow, Stellarton, Westville, Trenton, and Pictou, along with dozens of smaller communities across Pictou County and the Northumberland Shore. For anyone stranded anywhere in the county, whether it's a flat tire or a rollover recovery, Mahar's Towing answers the call every hour of the day, drawing on decades of hands-on knowledge of the region's highways and back roads.
