24/7 Towing And Roadside Assistance
On Highway 417

Pull onto the shoulder as far right as possible, turn on your hazard lights, and stay inside your vehicle with your seatbelt on. The 417 shoulder is too narrow and too close to high-speed traffic for a safe tire change or any roadside repair. Call Canadian Towing at 613-869-2323 for immediate emergency towing 417 dispatch, and our operator will reach your location with the right equipment for a safe highway recovery.

Canadian Towing publishes base rates on every page: towing from $120, boosts and unlocking from $80, and motorcycle towing from $150 + tax. Our fixed price policy means we quote the cost before the truck rolls, and the rate does not change when we arrive at your 417 location. Unlike the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), there is no annual membership fee; you pay only when you call, with no hidden fees and no distance surcharges.

Response time depends on traffic, weather, and your exact location on the 417. Canadian Towing keeps trucks distributed along the Queensway corridor and uses local road access points to reach highway breakdowns as quickly as conditions allow. When you call 613-869-2323, our dispatcher gives you an estimated arrival time based on the nearest available tow truck Queensway Ottawa operator.

The 417 shoulder is not a safe place for a tire change. Traffic passes at 100 km/h or faster, the shoulder is narrow in many sections, and the below-grade downtown corridor has almost no clearance between your vehicle and passing traffic. Canadian Towing provides mobile tire repair Ottawa drivers can call instead of risking a highway shoulder repair, and our operators carry the equipment to handle it safely on site.

Most Ontario auto insurance policies include towing coverage, particularly after a collision. Canadian Towing is pre-approved by Aviva Canada, Allstate, State Farm, Belair Direct, Farmers, Hartford, and Geico. We submit estimates directly to your insurer and handle all documentation, so your accident towing Highway 417 claim moves forward without extra calls on your end.

Construction zones on the 417 have shifted lanes, temporary barriers, and reduced shoulders that make a standard breakdown even more complicated. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation oversees the Highway 417 overpass replacement project, and lane configurations change as work progresses. Canadian Towing operators stay current with the Queensway construction layout, including lane shifts, ramp closures, and barrier placements, and know the access points to reach you safely inside a construction zone.

Call 911 first so the Ottawa Police Service or Ontario Provincial Police can respond for traffic management and a collision report. Once you and your passengers are safe and the scene is secured, call Canadian Towing at 613-869-2323 for insurance-approved accident recovery on the Queensway. We handle the tow, the vehicle storage, and the insurance documentation from that point forward.

A flatbed tow truck loads your vehicle at ground level onto a flat platform, the safest method for electric vehicles, all-wheel-drive cars, motorcycles, and low-clearance vehicles. Wheel-lift towing raises the front or rear wheels off the ground, which is faster but risks drivetrain damage on certain vehicles. Canadian Towing uses zero-degree flatbeds for all EV, motorcycle, and specialty tows on the 417, and recommends flatbed towing for any vehicle where damage-free transport is a priority.
