Forty years of heavy-duty towing in Northwestern Ontario
Smith & Walters City Wide Towing is a locally owned and operated company that has served Northwestern Ontario for more than 40 years, running a 24/7/365 in-house dispatch centre from its base in Thunder Bay. The company's fleet includes 15 service vehicles, a 35-tonne heavy-duty wrecker, light heavy-duty wreckers, 30-foot tandem flat decks, flatbeds, and a service vehicle equipped with a fifth-wheel pin. Emergency and roadside services cover flatbed towing, winch-outs, battery boosts, lockout assistance, fuel delivery, motorcycle towing and accident response. For medium and heavy-duty work, the company's 30-foot tandem flat deck with a dock leveler handles vans, trucks, motorhomes, RVs, storage containers and fifth-wheel trailers, while the 35-tonne heavy-duty wrecker is built for transport tractors, buses and coaches, motorhomes, garbage trucks, construction and heavy equipment, and large delivery trucks. The company covers Northwestern Ontario as well as remote locations across Canada and the United States, offering competitive long-distance pricing for jobs that take a vehicle well outside the immediate area. Preferred clients listed include CAA, ASG, Allstate, city police, the OPP and municipal fleet services, and Smith & Walters also works with most major motor clubs and multiple law enforcement agencies. A customer testimonial on the site describes a tow truck reaching a remote rural roadside emergency far faster than expected. The company's blog also offers practical advice, including reasons a vehicle might need heavy towing and what to do before a car gets towed, such as removing personal items and understanding costs upfront. For drivers or fleets anywhere in Northwestern Ontario, including remote areas, dealing with anything from a routine breakdown to a heavy commercial recovery, Smith & Walters' four decades of local experience and heavy-duty equipment make it well equipped to respond.
