Car Repair and Maintenance Service Ottawa

Car repair and maintenance service in Ottawa goes beyond the garage. Sometimes your car breaks down and you cannot drive it anywhere. That is where Ontario Towing steps in. We bring repair and maintenance services directly to where your vehicle is, whether that is your driveway in Barrhaven, a parking lot in Kanata, or the shoulder of Highway 417.

We are not a full mechanic shop. What we do is handle the most common roadside repair needs that keep Ottawa drivers stranded. Dead batteries, failed alternators, empty fuel tanks, and electrical problems. These things happen without warning and leave you stuck.

Battery services that come to you in Ottawa

Battery problems are our number one call between November and March. Ottawa winters regularly hit -30C, and a three-year-old battery that worked fine in September can die overnight in January. Our battery service covers everything from a quick test to a full swap at your location.

If your car will not start, our dead battery boosting gets your engine running again using professional-grade booster packs that are safer and more powerful than jumper cables from another car. We also offer jump start service with commercial equipment designed to start your vehicle without risking damage to sensitive electronics and onboard computers. Sometimes a boost is not enough. If your battery is at the end of its life, our mobile battery replacement service brings a new battery to your location and installs it on the spot. We test the old battery first using battery load testing to measure voltage, cold cranking amps, and internal resistance so we can confirm the battery is actually the problem before you pay for a replacement.

Not every dead battery means you need a new battery. Sometimes the real problem is a failing alternator. Our alternator testing / alternator diagnosis service checks your charging system at your location. If your alternator is not producing enough voltage, a brand new battery will die again within days. We diagnose the root cause so you fix the right thing the first time.

Fuel delivery when you run dry in Ottawa

Running out of fuel in Ottawa is more common than people admit. Our fuel delivery service brings enough gas to your location to get you to the nearest station safely. For a more general emergency, our gas delivery service covers both regular and premium gasoline. If you drive a diesel vehicle, our diesel fuel delivery brings clean diesel to your location so your fuel injection system is not damaged by running completely dry.

Put the wrong fuel in your tank? If you accidentally put gasoline in a diesel vehicle or diesel in a gas vehicle, do not start the engine. Call (613) 619-4545 immediately. Our wrong fuel draining / misfuel service drains the wrong fuel from your tank before it circulates through your engine and causes serious damage. The sooner you call, the less it costs to fix.

Roadside assistance across Ottawa 24/7

Many of the calls we receive do not actually need a full tow. Our roadside assistance service handles dead batteries, flat tires, lockouts, and fuel delivery at your location. We fix the problem where your vehicle sits and you drive away. If the issue turns out to be bigger than a roadside fix, our roadside assistance towing takes your vehicle to a repair shop without needing a second call. And because breakdowns happen at every hour, our 24HR emergency roadside assistance operates around the clock, every single day of the year.
