Nepean Towing provides towing service in Ottawa around the clock. Whether you need emergency towing after a breakdown on the 417, a flatbed tow for a luxury vehicle in Westboro, or roadside assistance to avoid a tow entirely, we have the right truck and the right team for the job. Call (613) 619-4545 any time.
Our towing service covers 13 Ottawa neighbourhoods from our Riverside Drive yard. We run 13 distinct towing and roadside services, ranging from ditch recovery on icy winter roads to long distance towing across Ontario. Every call goes to a real dispatcher. Every truck goes to the right job. Below is a full breakdown of what we offer.
A breakdown rarely happens at a convenient time. When your vehicle stops moving on the 417, on Merivale Road, or on a Barrhaven side street, our emergency towing team dispatches immediately. We cover all of Ottawa 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Ottawa traffic conditions change fast. A breakdown on the Queensway during rush hour is a different situation than one on a quiet Riverside South street at midnight. We factor in your location and the time of day when dispatching and will give you an honest arrival estimate before we hang up the phone.
Not every breakdown requires a tow. Our roadside assistance service addresses the problem on the spot when possible. That covers jump starts, tire changes, lockouts, and fuel delivery. Getting you back on the road without the cost of a tow is always our first priority.
Roadside calls across Ottawa range from dead batteries in Barrhaven driveways on cold January mornings to lockouts in Westboro parkades on a weekday afternoon. We handle them all with the same urgency. One call tells us what you need and we figure out the fastest way to resolve it.
All-wheel-drive vehicles, low-clearance sports cars, and high-value vehicles need to be transported with all four wheels off the ground. Our flatbed towing service protects the drivetrain and the body of the vehicle during transport. We cover Ottawa from Westboro to Orleans and everything in between.
Ottawa roads present real risks to vehicles towed improperly. Uneven pavement on older Vanier and Lowertown streets, speed humps in residential areas, and the long stretch on the 416 south of the city all require a stable, fully loaded platform. Flatbed towing eliminates the risk of additional damage from road contact during transport.
Locking your keys inside is one of the most frustrating roadside situations. Our car lockout service gets you back in your vehicle without damage to the door or the lock. We respond across Ottawa including South Keys, Bridlewood, Bells Corners, and Vanier.
Modern vehicles with keyless entry and push-button start systems still get locked out more often than drivers expect. Whether you have a traditional key or a key fob, call us and we will assess the situation and use the right method to get you in safely. We do not force entry or damage window seals.
Property owners and managers across Ottawa rely on us for illegally parked vehicle towing. We remove unauthorized vehicles from private lots, driveways, and commercial properties in compliance with Ontario towing regulations. Call us to discuss regular monitoring arrangements for your property.
Unauthorized parking in private lots is a persistent issue in commercial areas of Ottawa, from Merivale Road retail strips to Bayshore-area plazas and office parking near the airport. We respond quickly, document the removal properly, and follow all Ontario consumer protection rules that govern towing from private property.
Our dispatch line does not close. 24 hour towing in Ottawa means a real person answers at 2am on a Tuesday the same as they would at noon on a Saturday. If your vehicle is stranded, we are available regardless of the hour.
Night breakdowns in Ottawa happen year round. Vehicles stall after late shifts in Kanata tech parks, run out of fuel on Bank Street after midnight, and slide into snowbanks on Fallowfield Road in the early hours of a February morning. Whenever it happens, our dispatch team picks up and sends help.
Standard tow trucks are not built for larger vehicles, commercial equipment, or oversized loads. Our heavy duty towing fleet handles larger pickups, work vehicles, and commercial units across Ottawa and surrounding areas. Call us with the details of your vehicle and we will confirm the right equipment for the job.
Commercial vehicle breakdowns cost money by the hour. A work truck stranded on Hunt Club Road or a delivery vehicle stalled near the Ottawa Airport needs a fast response and the right wrecker to move it without causing further damage. We carry the capacity to handle what standard towers cannot.
High-end vehicles require handling that matches their value. Our luxury vehicle towing uses flatbed transport and trained operators who understand the requirements of European imports, electric vehicles, and performance cars. We treat every vehicle with the care you expect.
Ottawa's Westboro, Glebe, and Rockcliffe Park neighbourhoods have a high concentration of performance and luxury vehicles. Electric vehicles in particular require specific handling to avoid damage to the battery system during transport. We confirm the vehicle type before dispatching to make sure the right equipment and operator arrive.
After a collision, the priority is safety first. Once emergency services have cleared the scene, our accident recovery team moves damaged vehicles safely and efficiently. We work with insurance providers across Ottawa and can coordinate with body shops if needed.
Accident scenes on the 417 and the 416 create traffic delays and secondary hazards for other drivers. Fast, professional vehicle removal helps clear the road and reduces risk. We assess the condition of the vehicle before moving it to avoid further damage to the frame, suspension, or drivetrain during extraction.
Moving a vehicle from Ottawa to Kingston, Toronto, or across the province requires more than a standard local tow. Our long distance towing service covers interprovincial routes. We secure the vehicle properly and confirm delivery details before departure.
Ottawa sits at the eastern edge of Ontario, which makes it a common origin point for long hauls toward Toronto, the GTA, and beyond. We plan the route, confirm the dropoff point, and keep you updated along the way. The price is agreed on before the truck leaves the yard.
Ottawa winters send vehicles into ditches every year. Black ice on the 416, snow-covered shoulders on Hunt Club Road, and early-morning freezes on Barrhaven side streets all contribute. Our ditch recovery team uses the right equipment to pull vehicles out without causing additional undercarriage damage.
A vehicle in a ditch is not always badly damaged. Getting it out cleanly depends on using the right winch angle and anchor points. We assess the slope, the ground condition, and the vehicle's position before pulling. In most cases the vehicle drives away on its own power after recovery.
Our tow truck service covers Ottawa from Riverside Drive outward in every direction. Whether you need a straight tow to a mechanic, a transport to a storage facility, or a move between locations, we dispatch the right truck for the size and condition of your vehicle.
Ottawa has dozens of independent mechanics and dealership service centres spread across the city. We tow to any destination you choose, whether that is a shop on Merivale Road, a dealership in Barrhaven, or a storage yard near the airport. You tell us where and we take it there.
Boats and trailers need specialized handling and the right tow vehicle to move safely on Ottawa roads. Our boat towing service transports watercraft from marinas, storage lots, and private properties. We cover the Ottawa River corridor, Rideau River access points, and all neighbouring boat launch areas.
The end of boating season in Ottawa typically runs from September into October, and that is when most boat towing requests come in. Owners moving their craft from the river to winter storage, or from one marina to another, rely on proper trailer handling to avoid damage during transport. We confirm the trailer connection and weight before moving.
Call us at (613) 619-4545 and describe your situation. Our dispatch team will ask a few quick questions about your vehicle and location and recommend the right service. You do not need to know the difference between a flatbed and a hook-and-chain before you call.
Yes. We respond to breakdowns on the 417, the 416, and all major Ottawa roads. Stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on if it is safe to do so, turn on your hazard lights, and call us. We will dispatch and give you an estimated arrival time.
Yes. Vehicles that cannot be driven, steered, or rolled are a standard part of what we handle. Our flatbed towing equipment can load and transport a vehicle that is completely immobile. If the vehicle is in a ditch or in an unusual position, our ditch recovery equipment addresses that first.
Yes. Property owners and managers can contact us to arrange illegally parked vehicle towing from private lots, driveways, and commercial properties. We follow Ontario regulations for unauthorized vehicle removal. Call us to discuss your property and set up a service arrangement.
Yes. We cover Barrhaven, Bells Corners, Bridlewood, Fallowfield, Bayshore, and Westboro in the west end, and South Keys, Riverside South, Vanier, and Orleans to the east. Our Riverside Drive location puts us close to the south and southwest of the city for faster response on that side of town.
Yes. Our dispatch line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A real person answers every call. There is no automated system you have to navigate at 3am in a Barrhaven parking lot.
