From the initial contact to the safe delivery of us and our vehicle, it was an amazing experience. Dryden was awesome. He is most definitely a keeper. He made the 2-1/2 hour trip home very enjoyable and entertaining. If we ever get stranded in the Ottawa area again, we will absolutely call on you. Thank you for rescuing us on a bitterly cold day when CAA “could not”.

I had to get my car towed today from Barrhaven into the city to get it fixed. I called and booked a time, the tow truck came exactly when they said. The driver was amazing and friendly and the price was the cheapest I’d been quoted Thank you so much to the Team over there! If I ever need a tow again this is who to call. Good old fashioned local service!

Piers from SMC Towing did a great job to help me get my car key out which was locked in the car (running idle still). He arrived in 10 minutes and got the key out in less than 10 minutes. He was patient to listen to my questions and provided me useful information. 100% satisfaction ! Thank you Piers.

Dryden was here in minutes and got my truck started during the worst ice storm we've had in a while! Very professional. Even refused a gift of thanks. Great service!

Matt at SMC Towing was way more than a tow operator. He was like a friend who helped at a very significant time. The stressful conditions of our situation were very much aided by Matt's experience and assistance. Thank you.

24/7 Emergency Towing Situations We Handle in Ottawa

Highway Breakdowns and Engine Failure

A stalled engine on Highway 417 during rush hour or a blown head gasket on the 416 at midnight both need the same thing. A fast, safe recovery by an operator who knows the highway and can work beside traffic. Our team works with Ontario Provincial Police when needed and clears the scene quickly.

Collision and Accident Recovery

After a crash, your vehicle may have steering damage, locked wheels, or deployed airbags that make it impossible to drive. Our operators assess the scene, plan the safest loading method, and transport the vehicle to your chosen body shop or storage lot. We handle the paperwork for insurance claims.

Stuck, Snowbound, and Underground Vehicle Recovery

Ottawa winters leave vehicles stuck in snowbanks, buried in parking lots, and trapped in underground garages. Our operators carry winch systems and recovery gear built for soft ground, slopes, and tight spaces. We pull your vehicle free and get it back on solid ground.

Our dispatch team sends the closest available operator to your location the moment your call is confirmed. We cover every part of Ottawa from our Nepean base at 110 Bentley Ave. Most calls are answered and dispatched in under 3 minutes.

About Ottawa, ON

Ottawa is Canada’s capital and home to over one million people. The city covers a large area, with major highways like the 417 and the 416 connecting neighbourhoods from Kanata in the west to Orleans in the east. With that much ground to cover and that many drivers on the road, having a local 24 hour towing service in Ottawa you can count on makes all the difference.

Ottawa winters are serious. From November through April, black ice, heavy snowfall, and freezing temperatures are a regular part of life on roads like Carling Avenue, Merivale Road, and Baseline Road. Late night breakdowns and winter accidents happen more often than most drivers expect, which is why our trucks stay active across the city all year long.

SMC Towing Group is based in Nepean and knows Ottawa’s roads, intersections, and neighbourhoods well. As a trusted 24 hour towing company near Ottawa and Gatineau, we are the local choice for drivers who need fast, reliable help at any hour of the day or night.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does towing cost in Ottawa?

Costs for any towing service in Ottawa are regulated by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation under Ontario Maximum Rates. SMC Towing Group follows these rates with no hidden fees. We provide an upfront quote before loading. The final cost depends on distance and vehicle size. Direct billing to your insurer is also available.

Is towing available on holidays and weekends in Ottawa?

Yes. We operate every hour of every day without exception. Weekends, holidays, snowstorms, and overnight hours all receive the same fast dispatch. Call 613-801-2476 any time and a live dispatcher answers your call.

How fast can a tow truck reach me in Ottawa?

Tow truck response time depends on your location and current demand. We dispatch from our Nepean base at 110 Bentley Ave and cover every Ottawa neighbourhood and highway. Providing a clear road name, intersection, or exit number helps our team reach you even faster.

What vehicles do you tow in Ottawa?

We handle cars, sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, trailers, and RVs. AWD and luxury vehicles ride on flatbed carriers. Electric vehicles are loaded in transport mode. No vehicle is too large or unusual for our fleet.

Do you coordinate with insurance companies for towing?

Yes. We provide all documentation needed for your claim and offer direct billing to most Ontario insurance providers. You do not need to pay out of pocket if your policy covers towing. Contact your insurer to confirm your specific coverage.

Can you tow from Highway 417 or Highway 416 in Ottawa?

Yes. We provide all documentation needed for your claim and offer direct billing to most Ontario insurance providers. You do not need to pay out of pocket if your policy covers towing. Contact your insurer to confirm your specific coverage.

What is the difference between a flatbed tow and a wheel-lift tow?

A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the ground during transport. A wheel lift raises two wheels and drags the other two on the road. A flatbed is required for AWD, luxury, electric, lowered, and damaged vehicles. Wheel lift works for some front-wheel-drive cars in good condition.

Do you serve Gatineau as well as Ottawa?

Yes. Our operators cross the Ottawa River regularly to serve Gatineau drivers. We handle the same full range of recovery and transport on the Quebec side. Share your location, and we dispatch the nearest available operator.
