Accident & Collision Towing Ottawa
When an accident or collision happens, time is critical—and so is the towing company you trust to respond. At Ottawa Towing, we provide fast, professional, and safe accident & collision towing services across the Ottawa region. Ottawa Towing is a locally operated company known for our dependable towing and recovery solutions. With years of experience and a modern fleet, we serve residential drivers, commuters, and commercial clients throughout the city.

Emergency Towing Services Across Ottawa
Accidents are stressful. Our job is to reduce the pressure. With a fleet ready to respond day or night, Ottawa Towing offers immediate emergency towing to clear the scene and get your vehicle to a safe location. We coordinate with law enforcement and first responders when necessary, and we’re familiar with local protocols including the Ottawa Collision Reporting Centre process.
According to the City of Ottawa’s Traffic Incident Management Plan, collisions account for thousands of disruptions on city roads every year, with the downtown core and major routes like Hunt Club Road and Innes Road among the most affected areas. In 2022 alone, over 12,000 collision incidents were reported in Ottawa, highlighting the ongoing need for reliable accident towing services.
Damage-Free Towing
Your vehicle may already be damaged—our job is not to make it worse. Using wheel-lift and flatbed towing, we ensure your car or truck is safely secured for transport. Our damage-free towing methods are ideal for both everyday vehicles and luxury cars. All equipment is maintained to high safety standards, and our operators are trained to handle sensitive tows with care.
By using soft straps and frame-safe lifting, we eliminate the risk of scraping, dragging, or alignment issues. This is especially important for modern cars equipped with low ground clearance or sensitive electronic systems.
Winch Out Services
If your car has gone off-road into a ditch, embankment, or snowbank, our winch-out service can recover it without causing further harm. Winter months in Ottawa can be brutal, with over 200 cm of snow falling annually on average. It’s not uncommon for drivers to lose control during a storm. We’re equipped with winching gear and heavy-duty tow trucks to get your vehicle back on the road safely.
Our winch-out team is experienced with both light vehicles and commercial units. Whether you’ve slid off a suburban road or are stuck on a rural backroad, we’ve got the tools and team to handle it.
