    Towing & Roadside Assistance Ottawa

    Ottawa is crossed by Highway 417, the Queensway, with Highway 416 running south to the 401 and Highway 174 serving the east end. TrueNorth Roadside Rescue dispatches flatbed towing and mobile roadside help across the city, from Kanata to Orléans and Barrhaven to Carp, around the clock.

    Winters here are long and cold, which is when batteries fail and vehicles end up in snowbanks. Tell dispatch your location and what the vehicle is doing, and we will confirm the service and price before a driver is sent.

    Cold mornings are when weak batteries fail. A mobile technician can boost the battery where you are parked, and recommend testing if it keeps failing.

    Breakdowns on the Queensway and Highway 416

    Heavy commuter traffic and winter conditions make roadside waits risky. A flatbed moves the disabled vehicle off the highway safely.
