Family-owned, insurance-approved towing serving Ottawa since 1999
Ontario Towing has been family run since 1999, based on Riverside Drive in Ottawa, with its own trucks on the road and owners who still pick up the phone themselves. The company has built a strong local reputation, holding more than 700 Google reviews and a 4.9 rating, and it operates 24/7 across Ottawa, including overnight and holiday calls when breakdowns and icy-road accidents spike. Services include roadside assistance for flat tires and dead batteries, accident recovery with direct coordination with insurance companies, flatbed towing for luxury, all-wheel-drive, and electric vehicles, jump starts and on-site battery replacement, lockout service, mobile tire changes and repairs, gas delivery, and scrap and junk vehicle pickup. The company follows Ontario's Towing and Storage Safety and Enforcement Act requirements and carries full liability coverage, transporting collision vehicles to TSSEA-compliant storage facilities approved by insurers. Average arrival time across Ottawa is under 30 minutes, with trucks already stationed in Kanata, Orleans, Nepean, and Gloucester to cut down response times. The company also handles roadside repairs that don't require a tow at all: crews carry industrial-strength booster equipment and spare batteries to test, boost, or swap a battery right where a car is parked, along with tools for alternator checks and draining a tank that's been filled with the wrong fuel. Dead batteries are described as the most common call the company fields through the winter months. Coverage extends across the Ottawa-Gatineau region, including Barrhaven, Stittsville, Vanier, Westboro, Alta Vista, Centretown, downtown Ottawa, The Glebe, South Keys, Riverside South, Manotick, Bells Corners, and Highways 417, 416, and 174. For a breakdown on Bronson Avenue at 2 a.m. or a flat tire on the 417 during rush hour, Ontario Towing positions its family-run, insurance-friendly service as a fast, transparent response for Ottawa drivers.
