Dealership vehicle transport in Ottawa moves cars between lots without adding kilometres to the odometer or risking road damage. A customer buys a specific trim at your Hunt Club location but the car is sitting at your Kanata lot. A batch of trade-ins needs to go from the showroom to the wholesale lot on Coventry Road. You won a few units at the Manheim auction in Toronto and need them delivered to Ottawa by Friday. Ontario Towing handles all of it on flatbed trucks so every vehicle arrives in the same condition it left.
Why dealerships use flatbed transport instead of driving
Every kilometre you put on a new or pre-owned vehicle before a customer takes delivery reduces its value. Driving a car from one lot to another adds mileage, exposes the vehicle to road debris and stone chips, and creates liability if the driver gets into an accident. A flatbed eliminates all of that. The vehicle sits on a platform with all four wheels off the ground. Zero kilometres added. Zero road exposure. Zero risk of a fender bender on the 417.
For dealerships moving high-value inventory like luxury brands, performance vehicles, or brand-new units with delivery mileage caps, flatbed transport is not just the smart option. It is the only option that protects your margin.

Ottawa's dealership corridors
Ottawa's new car dealers are concentrated along a few major corridors. The Hunt Club Road auto mall between Bank Street and Riverside Drive is the biggest cluster. The Innes Road corridor near Cyrville has another group. St. Laurent Boulevard between the Queensway and Industrial Avenue has several more. And Hazeldean Road in Kanata has a growing strip of dealers serving the west end.
We move vehicles between all of these corridors daily. We also handle longer runs to and from dealers in Gatineau, Arnprior, Kemptville, and Brockville who trade inventory with Ottawa dealers regularly.

Dealership tip: Schedule regular transport days. If you know you move 3 to 5 vehicles between lots every week, setting a recurring schedule reduces your per-vehicle cost and gives your lot managers predictable pickup times. Call (613) 619-4545 to discuss volume pricing.
Protecting your inventory during transport
Every dealership vehicle we transport is loaded onto a flatbed with a hydraulic tilt bed for smooth, low-angle loading. We use soft-tie ratchet straps that do not scratch paint or contact wheels. Wheel chocks prevent any rolling during transit. We document the vehicle condition at pickup and at delivery so there is a clear record in case of any dispute. Your vehicles arrive the way they left, ready for the showroom floor or the customer's driveway.
