Nepean Towing provides towing service on Fallowfield Road and the surrounding area in southwest Ottawa, covering the full corridor from the Highway 416 interchange in the west through to the Merivale Road and Woodroffe Avenue intersections in the east. Fallowfield Road serves as a major east-west connector for Barrhaven residents, Nepean commuters, and travellers accessing the VIA Rail Fallowfield station, which makes it a high-use road with a consistent need for roadside assistance and emergency towing in Fallowfield Ottawa. Call (613) 619-4545 and we dispatch to your location on or near Fallowfield Road 24 hours a day.
The character of Fallowfield Road changes significantly along its length. The eastern section near Merivale and Woodroffe is fully suburban, with commercial plazas, residential cross-streets, and typical urban traffic volumes. Moving west past Greenbank Road, the road transitions to a less dense corridor with longer gaps between intersections and fewer places to pull over safely. A breakdown on the western stretch of Fallowfield, particularly in poor weather conditions, puts a driver in a more exposed situation than a breakdown in the commercial east end. Knowing this geography, we dispatch with urgency for calls from the less-served western sections of the road.
The VIA Rail Fallowfield station draws commuters from across southwest Ottawa who park their vehicles for the day while travelling to Toronto, Montreal, or other points on the VIA corridor. A vehicle left in the Fallowfield station parking lot all day, particularly through Ottawa winter months, faces the same dead-battery risk as any other vehicle sitting through cold temperatures for an extended period. Returning to a no-start after a train trip is a specific situation we handle regularly at this location.
Roadside assistance at the Fallowfield VIA station covers dead batteries, lockouts where keys are in the vehicle while the driver was on the train, and flat tires discovered on return. We come to the station parking lot, locate your vehicle, and resolve the issue on the spot wherever possible so you can continue home without arranging a tow. If a tow is needed, we take the vehicle to your preferred destination in Ottawa.
The interchange where Highway 416 meets Fallowfield Road is one of the primary entry and exit points for Barrhaven and southwest Ottawa. Breakdowns on the 416 in the immediate area of the Fallowfield interchange, on the on-ramps and off-ramps, and on Fallowfield Road approaching the interchange from the east are all within our Fallowfield towing service coverage. Highway 416 breakdown response follows the same safety protocol as any highway tow: move to the right shoulder if the vehicle can be driven, stay in the vehicle with seatbelt on if it cannot, and call immediately with your direction of travel and your position relative to the interchange.
The Fallowfield Road on-ramp to the 416 northbound and the off-ramp from the 416 southbound are locations where vehicles occasionally stall during the merging and deceleration process. These ramp locations are particularly hazardous because of the speed differential between the ramp and the highway proper. If your vehicle stops on a ramp, stay inside, activate hazard lights, and call us with the specific ramp you are on. Do not walk along the ramp to the highway or back to Fallowfield Road on foot.
Our Fallowfield road towing service covers the full east-west corridor including the commercial intersections at Woodroffe Avenue, Greenbank Road, and Jockvale Road, and the residential side streets that feed into Fallowfield from Barrhaven to the south and Nepean to the north. Car breakdown calls from anywhere along this corridor, whether in a driveway off Fallowfield, in a plaza parking lot at one of the main intersections, or on the road itself, are dispatched from our Nepean base.
Emergency towing in Fallowfield extends to the streets immediately north and south of Fallowfield Road: the Barrhaven subdivisions that access Fallowfield via Strandherd Drive and Longfields Drive to the south, and the Nepean residential streets accessed via Woodroffe Avenue and Greenbank Road to the north. If your vehicle is anywhere in this zone, give us your address and we come to you.
Yes. The Fallowfield VIA Rail station parking lot is a location we service regularly. Returning to a dead battery after a day or overnight train trip is a common situation, particularly through Ottawa winters when cold temperatures drain weakened batteries while the vehicle sits. Call us when you arrive at the lot, give us your parking section or the nearest lot marker, and we dispatch to your vehicle. In most cases a jump start or an on-site battery replacement gets you on the road without a tow. If a tow is needed, we take the car to any destination in Ottawa you choose.
Yes. The western stretch of Fallowfield Road between Greenbank Road and the 416 interchange is less dense than the eastern commercial section, but it is well within our coverage area. When you call from this part of the road, give us the nearest intersection name or kilometre marker, the direction you were travelling, and a description of where you are pulled over. The western section has fewer landmarks, so specifics help us locate you faster. We dispatch with urgency for breakdown calls from more isolated stretches of road where the driver is further from walkable help. Stay in your vehicle with hazard lights on until we arrive.
Yes. Our Fallowfield towing service extends into the Barrhaven streets south of Fallowfield Road that connect via Strandherd Drive, Longfields Drive, and Jockvale Road. If your vehicle is in a driveway or on a street in the north Barrhaven area adjacent to Fallowfield, give us the address and we come to you. For calls further south into Barrhaven, our Barrhaven coverage handles those as well. The two coverage zones overlap in the area directly south of Fallowfield Road.
Stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt fastened and hazard lights on. On-ramp and off-ramp locations are high-risk because vehicles behind you may be accelerating to merge speed and may not expect a stopped vehicle ahead. Do not get out and stand on the ramp. Call us immediately with the specific ramp description: Fallowfield Road on-ramp to the 416 northbound or southbound, and where on the ramp you are stopped. We dispatch and handle the recovery safely. If you can safely move the vehicle forward off the ramp onto a shoulder or a wider area, do so, but only if the vehicle can move and you can do it without exposing yourself to passing traffic.
Call Nepean Towing. We cover the full Fallowfield Road corridor, the VIA station lot, and the Hwy 416 interchange, 24 hours a day.
