Roadside Assistance in Ottawa

Sometimes you do not need a tow at all. A boost, a spare or a few litres of fuel and you are driving again in minutes.

Most roadside calls are not towing jobs. If we can get you moving where you sit, that is faster for you and cheaper than loading the vehicle onto a truck, so that is what we try first.

What we fix at the roadside

Battery boost. The engine clicks or cranks slowly, or nothing happens at all. We boost it where it sits and tell you honestly whether the battery is finished.

Flat tire change. We put your spare on so you can drive to a tire shop.

Fuel delivery. Out of gas or diesel? We bring enough to get you to a station.

Lockouts. Keys inside the car. We open it without damage.

Winch-outs. Stuck in a snowbank, ditch or mud. We pull you back onto the road.

When it becomes a tow

If the engine will not run after a boost, if the tire damage is beyond a spare, or if something else is clearly wrong, we switch to towing and take it to a shop.

We will explain which situation you are in before doing anything, so you are deciding with the full picture rather than finding out when the invoice arrives.

Not sure which one you need?

Call and describe what happened: what the car did, what you heard, what lights came on. We will tell you which service fits, including when the honest answer is that you do not need us.

What we come out for

  • Battery boost / jump start, plus an honest answer on whether the battery is finished
  • Flat tire change using your spare, at the roadside
  • Emergency fuel delivery: enough to reach a station
  • Vehicle lockouts, opened without damage
  • Winch-outs from snowbanks, ditches and mud
  • An upgrade to a tow if the roadside fix will not hold

Questions about roadside assistance

  • Is roadside assistance cheaper than a tow?

    Generally yes, because there is no loading and no transport. If a boost or a spare solves the problem, that is the cheaper outcome and the one we aim for.

  • Do I need a membership?

    No. There is nothing to join. Call when you need us and you get a price on the phone before we come.

  • Can you help if my roadside plan is taking too long?

    Yes. Call us, tell us where you are and what happened, and we quote you directly. Check with your plan afterwards whether they reimburse it.

  • Do you come out at night and on holidays?

    Yes, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
