Light & Medium-Duty Towing Service
Flatbed Towing For Cars, Sedans and Small Crossovers
Your vehicle rides completely off the ground on a hydraulic flatbed — no wear on drivetrain, transmission or tires. Ideal for all-wheel-drive vehicles and low-clearance cars.
When You Need Light-Duty Flatbed Towing
Light-Duty Flatbed Towing is the right call in the situations below. If you are not sure, call dispatch and describe what the vehicle is doing — we will tell you which service fits.
- Your car will not start or cannot be driven safely
- The vehicle is all-wheel drive and must not be towed on its wheels
- You drive a lowered or low-clearance car that needs careful loading
- An electric vehicle needs transport with the drive wheels off the ground
- You are moving a non-running car to a shop, storage or a buyer
What Is Included With Light-Duty Flatbed Towing
Flatbed towing is the safest method for transporting vehicles. Your car is winched onto a hydraulic bed and secured with straps — all four wheels are off the ground during transport. This eliminates wear on the drivetrain, transmission and tires that occurs with traditional wheel-lift towing.
Eligible vehicles include sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, small crossovers, compact SUVs, sports cars and electric vehicles. Weight, dimensions and loading access are reviewed before dispatch.
- Hydraulic flatbed loading with a controlled winch
- All four wheels off the ground for the entire trip
- Professional wheel straps and tie-downs
- Transport to the shop, dealership or address you choose
- Low-clearance ramps available on request

Call Dispatch or Request Through the App
There are two ways to get light-duty flatbed towing from TrueNorth Roadside Rescue. You can call dispatch directly at (647) 633-8885 and speak with a real person, 24 hours a day. Or you can request service through the TrueNorth web and mobile app for a faster, fully digital request flow.
In the app, you enter your exact service type, pickup location, vehicle details, destination when required, and contact information. The app calculates your estimate from preset service pricing, distance in kilometres, included distance, add-ons, and applicable tax — before anything is dispatched.
Once a driver is assigned, the app shows live service tracking with driver status, ETA, service progress, and completion status. It is a clearer and more transparent experience than a normal phone-only towing request — and you can still call dispatch anytime if you prefer speaking with a person.
Faster Request Flow
Submit the service type, location, vehicle details, and contact information without waiting on the phone.
Live Driver Tracking
Once a driver accepts the job, follow the driver and service status in real time.
Transparent App Estimate

Light-Duty Flatbed Towing Pricing and Quotes
Light-duty flatbed towing is quoted in CAD before dispatch, based on pickup, destination and vehicle type. Quotes are confirmed with you before a truck is assigned.
For a full breakdown of how towing and roadside jobs are quoted, see our towing and roadside assistance pricing page.
Staying Safe While You Wait
- Remove valuables and documents before the vehicle is loaded
- Tell dispatch about aftermarket body kits or very low ride height
- Do not stand on the bed or beside the winch line during loading
- Disengage aftermarket wheel locks or immobilisers if you can
If Extra Help Is Needed
If the vehicle is larger or heavier than light-duty capacity, dispatch upgrades the job to medium-duty flatbed towing and re-quotes before the truck is assigned.
