Family-run heavy-duty towing and recovery in Thunder Bay
Hartley Road Rescue Towing and Repair has served Thunder Bay for more than 25 years. Jerry Hartley started the company in the early 2000s, and it is now run by his son, Bryan Hartley, who has expanded its reach. The fleet has grown to 14 trucks with more than 15 staff, operating from a drive-on facility on Gore Street West that also houses a heavy truck repair shop. Roadside assistance covers jump starts, fuel delivery, and lockouts, while towing capability ranges from light and medium-duty work up to heavy-duty towing and heavy-duty winching for larger vehicles. The team handles accident recovery and off-road recovery, including winch-outs for vehicles stuck off the pavement, and a mobile mechanic is available for on-site repairs and diagnostics. The company operates 24/7 for emergency calls and has built its reputation on fast dispatch, with customers describing drivers arriving within a couple of hours of a call even for unusual jobs. Beyond towing, the business sells seacans, sturdy weatherproof shipping containers suited to storage or transport, and offers GPS tracking for fleet customers. Built by two generations of the Hartley family and backed by a full-service repair facility, the company positions itself as a complete roadside and recovery operation for the Thunder Bay area.
