When your vehicle breaks down in Bells Corners, you need a tow truck company that knows this community and gets there fast. Bells Corners is a compact suburban neighbourhood in Ottawa's west end, sitting almost entirely surrounded by the National Capital Commission Greenbelt. Robertson Road runs through its commercial core and Highway 417 connects it to the rest of the city. Because of its unique geography, Bells Corners requires a towing company with genuine local knowledge. Ontario Towing has served Bells Corners and the wider Ottawa area since 1999. We respond to calls here regularly.
Tow Truck Services We Provide in Bells Corners
Bells Corners is a self-contained community with its own commercial strip, residential streets, and industrial areas. Because it sits between the Greenbelt and Highway 417, access in and out of the neighbourhood runs through a limited number of roads. As a result, knowing which routes to use matters when a tow truck needs to reach you quickly. Here is what we handle in Bells Corners:
Flatbed towing: Complete platform transport with all four wheels off the ground. Because Bells Corners has a significant number of established homes and a growing tech sector presence along Robertson Road, we regularly transport a wide range of vehicles using flatbed equipment

Robertson Road, Highway 417, and Why Tow Truck Calls Happen in Bells Corners
Robertson Road is the main artery through Bells Corners. It runs east-west through the community connecting residential areas to the commercial strip and eventually joining Richmond Road heading toward Nepean and downtown. Because it carries the daily movement of thousands of Bells Corners residents to and from the 417, incidents on Robertson Road happen regularly throughout the day.
Highway 417 is the primary route connecting Bells Corners to the rest of Ottawa. Every morning, residents use the Robertson Road or Moodie Drive interchanges to access the Queensway. Because this is a high-speed highway with consistent commuter traffic, breakdowns near these interchanges require an urgent tow truck response. Furthermore, the Moodie Drive interchange area sees particularly heavy traffic during morning and evening rush hours, making fast dispatch critical for highway incidents in this corridor.
The Greenbelt Access Roads Around Bells Corners
The NCC Greenbelt surrounds Bells Corners on three sides. This creates a unique situation where residents and visitors accessing the Greenbelt trails, including the Jack Pine, Beaver, Stony Swamp, and Sarsaparilla trails, occasionally end up with vehicle problems on the roads bordering the green space. Moreover, the roads leading into the Greenbelt areas have limited lighting and no services nearby.
Ontario Towing responds to calls from the Greenbelt-adjacent roads around Bells Corners regularly. Because these roads can be difficult to navigate without local knowledge, our drivers know exactly where to go and how to reach you. We give you a real arrival time when you call and we stick to it.
Ontario Towing is insurance approved and TSSEA compliant. Therefore, every tow truck call we handle in Bells Corners meets the documentation standards your insurance company requires.
How Long for a Tow Truck to Reach Bells Corners?
Bells Corners sits about 15 to 20 kilometres west of downtown Ottawa. Because Highway 417 provides direct access from central Ottawa to the Robertson Road and Moodie Drive interchanges, we typically reach most Bells Corners locations within 20 to 35 minutes. However, during peak rush hour traffic on the 417, travel times can vary slightly. We give you a specific arrival time when you call and we update you if anything changes on the way.
