Professional Towing Company in Ottawa
Ontario Towing is a family-owned Ottawa towing company, founded in 1999 to give local drivers a towing service they could trust. Over that time, we have helped everyday drivers, local businesses, and commercial fleets through breakdowns, collisions, and winter storms. That experience taught us to read a situation quickly, decide what it needs, and explain the plan to you clearly.
People call us on their worst day, so we answer plainly, act quickly, and make sure you and your vehicle reach safety. We keep our work simple: we explain the problem, move your vehicle carefully, and stay with you until the job is done.

Local Towing Service Across Ottawa and Nearby Neighbourhoods
Ontario Towing covers Ottawa and nearby communities day and night. Check the areas below, and call us wherever your vehicle stops.
Roadside Car Repair and Maintenance
A breakdown does not always need a tow. We fix many problems right where you stopped, which saves you the garage visit and the towing cost. Our roadside assistance team arrives in a fully equipped service truck, diagnoses the problem, and completes quick repairs on location. If the issue runs deeper, we tell you honestly and tow your vehicle to the shop you choose. Either way, you approve the price first, in writing.
Battery Testing and Replacement
Cold Ottawa mornings expose a weak battery fast. We test your battery on location, confirm whether it still holds a charge, and replace it when it fails, so your vehicle starts again without a trip to the garage. You approve the price before we install anything. We explain what failed.
Jump Start Service
A dead battery strands you without warning, especially on freezing Ottawa mornings. We arrive with professional jump-start equipment, restart your vehicle safely, and test the charging system afterward. If the battery will not hold a charge, we tell you straight away, so you do not stall again down the road.
Starter and Alternator Service
If your engine cranks slowly, clicks without starting, or your dashboard lights flicker, the starter or alternator may be faulty. We test both on location, name the likely cause, and replace the part when a roadside repair makes sense. When it does not, we tow your vehicle to a shop.
Brake Service
Grinding, squealing, or a soft pedal means your brakes need attention right now. We inspect pads, rotors, fluid, and lines on location and handle minor repairs when they are safe to complete. If your brakes have failed or look unsafe, we tow your vehicle and keep it off the road.
Cooling System Service
Steam from under the hood means you must stop and cool the engine. We arrive with coolant, check for leaks, and refill the system once the engine is safe. If a hose or radiator has failed, we tell you honestly whether a roadside repair works or you need a tow.
Gas Delivery Service
An empty tank leaves you stuck on a shoulder or in a parking lot. We bring gasoline or diesel to your location, add enough fuel to reach the nearest station, and make sure the engine restarts. If it will not restart, we check the fuel system or tow your vehicle.
Wrong Fuel Draining Service
Filled a diesel engine with gasoline, or the reverse? Do not start the engine. Call us right away, and we drain the wrong fuel on location, flush the fuel lines when needed, and refill with the correct fuel before the damage spreads through your fuel system and into your engine.
Fluid Top-Ups
Low coolant, washer fluid, or oil can leave you stranded or damage your engine. We check each level, top up what it needs, and point out any leak we spot, so you understand the problem before you leave. If a leak looks serious, we tell you and recommend a shop.
Winter Starting Help
Ottawa winters freeze fuel lines, drain batteries, and leave engines that refuse to turn over. We diagnose why your vehicle will not start in the cold, apply the fix on location, and tow it when the problem needs a shop. You stay warm, and we handle the cold work outside.
Tire Service Ottawa
A flat tire strands you fast, whether it happens on a quiet street or a busy highway shoulder. Our mobile tire service brings the tools to you, so you skip the wait and the tow. We handle quick tire fixes on location, advise you honestly when a tire is beyond repair, and tow your vehicle to a tire shop when the damage needs a trained professional.
Flat Tire Change
We swap your flat for your spare tire on location, tighten each lug nut to the correct torque, and check the spare's pressure, so you leave with a safe wheel and a clear and simple next step. We also tell you how soon you should replace the damaged tire.
Spare Tire Installation
Not every vehicle carries a usable spare, and many compact spares limit your speed. We mount your spare correctly, explain its speed and distance limits, and tell you how soon you should visit a tire shop. If your vehicle has no spare, we tow it to a shop instead.
Tire Inflation
A slow leak or cold-weather pressure drop can make a tire look fine until it fails. We inflate your tire to the pressure listed on your door jamb, watch for a leak, and tell you whether you can continue. If the tire loses air again, we recommend a tow.
Puncture Assessment
A nail in the tread does not always mean a new tire. We inspect the puncture, check the sidewall and tread, and tell you plainly whether a patch works, or you need a replacement before you go any farther. You then decide with the facts in front of you.
Damaged Wheel Recovery
A bent rim or a shredded tire makes your vehicle unsafe on the road. We load it onto a flatbed so the damaged wheel never touches the pavement, and deliver it to the tire shop or garage you choose. You ride along or follow behind us if you prefer.
Tire Swap Service
Ottawa drivers switch to winter tires each fall and back to summer tires each spring. We come to your home or workplace, swap your wheels, tighten every lug nut to specification, and check each tire’s air pressure, so you skip the shop queue and leave with a safe set.
Low-Pressure Warning Response
When your tire pressure light comes on, do not ignore it. We check all four tires and your spare on location, find the one that has lost air, and decide with you whether to inflate, repair, or tow your vehicle. Early action often saves the tire and your wallet.
Mobile Tire Installation
A tire that is worn, cut, or beyond repair needs replacing, and a trip to the shop takes hours out of your day. We bring the new tire to your home, workplace, or roadside, mount it, and tighten every lug nut to specification. You approve the tire and price.
Auto Wrecker Service
Ontario Towing’s auto wrecker service removes vehicles that have reached the end of the road. Whether your car is scrapped, wrecked, or abandoned on your property, our wrecker loads it safely and hauls it away. Our operators handle the equipment, the pickup, and the paperwork guidance, so you reclaim your driveway, lot, or garage with one call and no second trip.
Scrap Vehicle Services
A vehicle that no longer runs, fails a safety inspection, or costs more to fix than it is worth still holds value as scrap. We arrive with a flatbed or wrecker, load the vehicle from your driveway, garage, or lot, and haul it away. We also explain the ownership paperwork you must complete, so the handover is clean and simple.
Abandoned Vehicle Removal
An abandoned vehicle on your property creates a safety and liability problem that grows worse each week. We remove it from private lots, driveways, and parking areas with the right equipment for its condition, size, and location. Property managers, landlords, and homeowners across Ottawa call us for this, and we confirm the paperwork you need before we tow it away.
Vehicle Inspection Service
A clean exterior can hide expensive problems. Our vehicle inspection service shows you a car's mechanical and structural condition before you commit your money or your safety. Our inspectors check what matters most, explain their findings in clear, plain language, and help you decide whether the vehicle truly earns your signature.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Before you buy a used vehicle, our inspector checks its engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tires, frame, and fluids. We look for hidden accident damage, rust, leaks, and warning signs that a seller may overlook. You receive a written summary of the findings, so you can negotiate the price or walk away with confidence. Call us before you pay a deposit.
Junk Car Removal Service
An old vehicle that no longer runs takes up space, collects rust, and adds stress to your day. Our junk car removal service takes it away quickly. We arrive with the right truck, load your vehicle safely, and remove it from your driveway, garage, or lot. You choose a pickup time that fits your schedule, and we handle all the heavy work from there, start to finish.
Unwanted Car Pickup & Removal
We haul away unwanted vehicles from your property anywhere in Ottawa. Running or not, wrecked or rusted, we remove your vehicle from wherever it sits. Our operators use a flatbed or wheel lift for vehicles with flat tires or locked wheels, and a winch for tight spots. We also guide you through the ownership paperwork, so you complete the handover the first time. You see the pickup details in writing before we load.
Emergency Locksmith Service
Your keys sit on the seat, the door stays locked, and your plans stall. Our emergency locksmith service opens your vehicle quickly and carefully, day or night, in any Ottawa weather. We bring the right tools, protect your paint and weather seals, and get you back inside without damage. You call us, we arrive, and you leave with your keys.
Car Lockout Service
When you lock your keys in the car, call us, and we arrive with professional entry tools. We open the door and leave the paint and lock fully undamaged, and we check that everything works before you leave. If a child or a pet is inside, call 911 first.
Keys Locked in the Trunk
A locked trunk can trap your keys, your phone, and your plans. Our operator opens the trunk or the cabin, whichever route protects your vehicle best, and retrieves your keys. You then leave without a broken latch, a damaged seal, or a repair bill. Most lockouts take only minutes.
Broken Key Removal
A key that snaps off in the ignition or door lock leaves you stuck. We extract the broken piece with specialized tools and steady hands, check the lock for any damage, and tell you what to do next, including whether a replacement key or a lock repair makes sense.
Frozen Lock Release
Ottawa's freezing rain and deep cold can seal a door lock shut. We thaw the lock, open your vehicle, never force the handle, and suggest simple ways to prevent frozen doors for the rest of the winter. We bring the right tools to free the lock without damage.

Call (613) 619-4545Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer 24/7 towing in Ottawa?
Yes. Our 24-hour towing service in Ottawa runs every day of the year, including holidays and overnight hours. Call at any time, and our dispatcher confirms your location, sends the closest truck, and tells you what to expect before it arrives.
How much does a tow cost in Ottawa?
Your cost depends on the distance, your vehicle type, the time of day, and the truck you need. Ontario law requires every operator to show the maximum rate in writing before the tow starts, so you approve the price before we hook up.
How fast can you get here?
Arrival time depends on your location, traffic, and weather. Our GPS dispatch sends the closest available truck, and the dispatcher gives you an honest estimate during your call, so you know when to expect us. Keep your phone close, and we update you.
What should I do when my car breaks down?
Pull onto the shoulder, switch on your hazard lights, and raise the hood. Stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on if you are on a highway. Call 911 if anyone is hurt, then call us with your exact location.
Are you insurance approved?
Yes. Insurers accept our accident recovery work, and we carry full insurance of our own. Call your insurer first if you want, then tell us where to take your vehicle. You choose the shop, not us. We never push you toward a particular garage.
Do I have to sign anything before you tow my vehicle?
Yes. Ontario law requires a signed Consent to Tow form before any tow begins. The form lists the rate, the destination, and the operator's details. Read it carefully, ask us any questions, and sign only after you understand the full cost.
Can you handle commercial towing and heavy vehicles?
Yes. Our heavy-duty wrecker and flatbeds move work vans, trucks, buses, and fleet vehicles. Commercial towing needs the right equipment for the vehicle's weight, so tell us the make, model, and load when you call, and we send the right truck.
Can I choose where you tow my vehicle?
Yes. Unless police direct the tow, you decide where your vehicle goes. Choose your home, a trusted garage, or a collision repair centre. Tell us the exact address, and we take it straight there without pushing you toward a different shop.
