Getting stuck on the shoulder of the busy Highway 401 or finding your car dead in an underground parking garage near Sheppard Avenue is incredibly stressful.

Breaking down on a high-traffic corridor like Highway 401 or a quiet side street near Sheppard Avenue is always stressful, but it gets much worse after dark.

Staring through your window at your keys resting on the driver's seat is an instant gut-punch, especially when you are parked in a freezing lot off Yonge and Sheppard or stranded along the busy 401 corridor.

You are stranded on the shoulder of Yonge Street or Sheppard Avenue with traffic rushing past at sixty kilometers an hour.

Markham sits right at the busy intersection of the 401, 400, and 404 corridors, making it the perfect launchpad for long-haul highway towing.

That decaying vehicle sitting in your driveway isn't just an eyesore; it's a liability that municipal bylaws won't ignore for long.

You are driving down Yonge Street or navigating the rush hour traffic on the Allen Expressway when that dreaded thumping sound starts.

It always happens at the worst possible moment.

When a vehicle slides off the road into a steep embankment or rolls over during a winter storm on the Allen Expressway, a standard flatbed simply won't cut it.

It happens to the best of us.

Below are common questions:
The RV broke down on a family road trip, but these guys were able to have a heavy-duty tow ready in less than an hour. The driver knew a lot about big rigs, which made things a lot easier for us.

Dina McKeen

Sabrina Eller
Towing was a great experience. They took great care of my car and kept me up to date the whole time, from when they picked it up to when they left it off.
Elaine Moody
I had no clue what to do when my car battery died suddenly in the parking lot of a grocery store. I contacted for a battery servicing and the response was prompt and reassuring. The expert arrived with everything we needed and went right to work. He examined the battery, described the problem in layman's words and helped me get my car started again. I’m not going to say I felt like I was being taken advantage of, which is something I constantly worry about in these situations. He also advised me how to avoid the similar problem in future. The entire exchange seemed genuine and direct. I liked that he stayed a few more minutes to make sure everything was okay before he left. It made a tense situation feel doable. It is good to know that they also provide auto towing and roadside assistance and I know I can rely on them if something else happens.
