Family-run towing and recovery in Barrie since 1946
Graves Towing Service has operated in Barrie, Ontario since 1946, when Lew Graves founded the company; it has stayed family-owned and operated ever since, with Greg Graves continuing that tradition today. The company serves Barrie, Innisfil, Alliston, Thornton, Angus, Springwater, Oro and the rest of Simcoe County, including Oro-Medonte and Horseshoe Valley. Its flatbed tow trucks handle wide loads, exotic and sports cars, and wheel-lift-equipped setups for moving multiple vehicles, with special tie-downs and cradles for motorcycles and dedicated 5th-wheel towing for trailers and RVs. A float towing division moves heavy equipment such as forklifts, scissor lifts, boom lifts, bulldozers, excavators and compressors, using tilt-and-load techniques. For lowered or low-profile cars, the company uses Race Ramps to load vehicles without scraping the undercarriage. Day-to-day roadside work covers door unlocks, battery boosting, tire changes and winch-outs, along with accident towing and scrap car removal for automobile recycling, handled with A&G Environmental for proper cleanup after collisions. The company offers both local and long-distance service with flat rates available, and emergency roadside assistance runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With more than 60 years in Barrie towing, Graves Towing Service remains a locally rooted call for anything from a locked car door to a heavy equipment move.
