Roadside Assistance Services We Provide in Ottawa
Ontario Towing covers the breakdowns Ottawa motorists face most, from winter battery failures to flat tires on Highway 417. Each call reaches a dispatcher who matches your problem with the right equipment, so the operator who arrives knows what you need.
Beware of Danger Beside Live Traffic: A breakdown on Highway 417 or the Queensway puts you within metres of fast traffic. Do not step out to inspect the engine or change a tire yourself. Switch on your hazard lights, move as far right as you safely can, and keep your seatbelt fastened. Then call us, and dispatch stays on the line.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I request roadside assistance?
Call (613) 619-4545 and give dispatch your location, vehicle, and problem. We confirm the details, quote the service, and send the nearest operator. If you are on a busy road, move out of traffic, switch on your hazards, and call from a safe spot.
2. What services does roadside assistance include?
Ontario Towing provides car roadside assistance that covers towing, battery jump-starts, flat tire changes, lockout help, and fuel delivery. Your dispatcher confirms the right service when you call. We do not offer mechanical repairs, so repairs happen at the shop you choose.
3. What is the roadside assistance number in Ottawa?
Call Ontario Towing at (613) 619-4545 for roadside assistance anywhere in Ottawa. Save the number in your phone before you need it. A person answers at any hour, so you never wait for office hours or sit through a long automated menu.
4. Can I request roadside assistance online 24 hours a day?
Yes. You can send a request through our website at any hour, and dispatch picks it up right away. A phone call is still the fastest route because the dispatcher confirms your location and sends the nearest operator without delay.
5. How long does roadside assistance take to arrive in Ottawa?
Arrival time depends on your location, traffic, and weather. Dispatch gives you an estimate while you are still on the phone, and the nearest operator heads to you immediately. Heavy snow and rush hour add minutes, so dispatch tells you if the estimate changes.
6. How much does roadside assistance cost in Ottawa?
The price depends on the service you need and the distance to your destination. Dispatch quotes the total before an operator leaves, so you approve the cost. A short jump-start and a long tow are priced differently, and you pay for what you use.
7. Is roadside assistance the same as towing?
Not quite. Roadside assistance solves the problem where your car sits, through a jump-start, tire change, lockout opening, or fuel delivery. Roadside assistance towing follows only when the vehicle cannot move safely. Ontario Towing handles both under one call, so you never phone twice.
8. Do you offer roadside assistance for a truck?
Yes, for pickup trucks and other light-duty trucks, along with cars, SUVs, and vans. Ontario Towing does not provide heavy-duty towing, so tell dispatch your truck’s make and model when you call. You then know before we dispatch whether we can help.
9. Do I need a membership to get roadside help?
No. You can call Ontario Towing directly without a membership, and you pay only for the service you receive. If your insurer or auto club already includes roadside coverage, check its terms first, since some plans limit tow distance and the number of calls.
10. What should I do while I wait for roadside help?
Pull as far from traffic as you safely can and switch on your hazard lights. On a busy road or highway shoulder, stay inside the vehicle with your seatbelt fastened. Keep your phone charged, and stay on the line with dispatch if you feel unsafe.
11. What information does dispatch need when I call?
Dispatch needs your location, the vehicle’s make, model, and colour, and a description of the problem. A nearby intersection or landmark helps if you cannot find an address. Say whether you are in a parking garage or on a highway, since that affects our equipment.
12. Can the operator repair my car at the roadside?
No. Ontario Towing gets you back on the road or tows your vehicle to the shop you choose, but we do not repair vehicles at the roadside. Dispatch tells you upfront what is possible on the spot, so you know your options beforehand.
