Professional Flatbed Towing Services for Every Vehicle
Your vehicle may start, stall, or be wrecked, and a flatbed towing truck moves it each time. Ontario Towing covers emergency towing, roadside assistance, accident recovery, and flatbed trailer transport across Ottawa, so your vehicle arrives in the condition it left.
Beware of wheel lift tows on AWD and electric vehicles: Some operators arrive with a wheel lift because it costs them less. However, AWD and electric vehicles can suffer serious drivetrain damage when their wheels touch the road, and that repair costs far more than the tow itself. Check your owner’s manual, then ask for a flatbed truck by name before anyone touches your car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is flatbed towing more expensive than other towing?
Sometimes, yes. A flatbed truck uses specialized equipment, so the base rate can exceed a wheel lift’s. However, a flatbed prevents drivetrain damage on AWD and electric vehicles, and that repair costs far more than the tow. Call us for an upfront quote.
Is flatbed towing better for my car?
For most modern vehicles, yes. A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, so your transmission, tires, and low bumper stay protected. Wheel lift or dolly towing works for short moves on some two-wheel drive cars, but it carries more risk everywhere else.
Do you offer 24/7 flatbed towing in Ottawa?
Yes. Our dispatchers answer day and night. Call (613) 619-4545, share your location and vehicle details, and we send a flatbed truck to you. Your dispatcher gives you an arrival time before the truck leaves, so you know what to expect.
Where can I find cheap flatbed towing in Ottawa?
Cheap flatbed towing exists, but the lowest quote rarely tells the full story. Price depends on distance, vehicle size, and time of day. Call Ontario Towing for affordable flatbed towing Ottawa drivers trust, then weigh it against the damage a rougher tow can cause.
Do AWD vehicles need flatbed towing in Ottawa?
Yes. AWD systems send power to every wheel, so two wheels on the road can strain the drivetrain. A flatbed lifts all four wheels, which protects the transfer case and differentials. Tell your dispatcher your vehicle is AWD when you call.
Can you flatbed tow an electric vehicle in Ottawa?
Yes, and you should insist on it. An electric motor stays connected to the wheels, so wheels that turn on the road can damage the motor and related systems. Our flatbed trucks carry EVs on the platform. Check your manual’s towing section too.
Is flatbed towing safe for luxury cars?
Yes. Luxury and performance cars often sit low, and a flatbed’s bed tilts to load them at a gentle angle. Straps hold the wheels in place, so the bumper and paint stay untouched. Mention low clearance to the dispatcher when you call.
Can you tow a car that will not start?
Yes. A winch pulls dead, stalled, or locked-up vehicles onto the bed, even when the engine will not start or the wheels will not turn. Tell us the problem when you call, so the operator brings the right equipment for a smooth load.
Is a rollback the same as a flatbed?
Yes. Rollback is another name for a flatbed tow truck. The bed tilts and slides back to the ground, and then a winch pulls your vehicle on. People use both names for the same truck, so ask for either one.
Can a flatbed handle accident recovery?
Yes. A flatbed suits accident recovery because it carries vehicles with bent wheels, damaged suspension, or fluid leaks without added stress. Call us from the scene, and we move your vehicle to the shop or home you choose, while you focus on your safety.
