Fast, Careful Towing After a Calgary Collision
A crash is stressful enough without a tow truck making it worse. We arrive fast, read the scene, load your vehicle with care, and keep traffic safe while we work. Then we take you and your car where you need to go, with fair pricing and no pressure.
Call (587) 885-2326 any hour, day or night.
Why Calgary Drivers Trust Us After a Collision
Honest, fair pricing
Reviews are full of drivers taken advantage of by fly-by-night operators at the worst possible moment. We quote fair, honest pricing, so billing is one less worry when your car leaves the scene.
Careful handling on scene
When we arrive we assess the scene, load your vehicle safely, set out cones and flares to prevent a second collision, and clear debris from the roadway.
We guide you through it
Most drivers have never been in a crash and are unsure what to do. Our operators handle this every day and help you take the right steps, from calling your insurer to reporting the collision.
Direct insurance billing
We can bill your insurer directly. Alberta insurers have pre-negotiated rates for towing, storage, and trips to a reporting centre, which protects you from predatory pricing. See direct insurance billing.
Types of Collisions and Recoveries We Handle
Not every accident is the same. From a light fender-bender to a rollover on the highway, we bring the right truck and the right approach, with roll-backs, flatbeds, winches, and rotators, plus cones, flares, and tarping.
Fender-benders and rear-end
Drivable or not, we move your vehicle to the shop you choose on a flatbed so there is no added damage.
Rollovers and overturned
We right and recover overturned vehicles safely, using the gear and trained operators the job needs.
In a ditch or embankment
Off the road, in a ditch, or partially submerged? A winch-out pulls your vehicle back and loads it for transport.
Multi-vehicle and highway
Collisions on Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail, and Glenmore are cleared quickly, with traffic safety front of mind.
Trucks and heavy vehicles
Larger vehicles and trailers need heavy recovery and rotators, which we run day and night.
Leaking or unsafe vehicles
We tarp, contain, and clear glass and debris so the scene is safe before and after the tow.
What to Do After a Crash in Calgary
Turn on your hazard lights. If the vehicles are drivable and nobody is hurt, move them out of traffic. If not, set out cones or flares to warn other drivers.
Check yourself and your passengers first, then the other driver if it is safe to do so.
Call 911 if anyone is injured, if you suspect the other driver is impaired, or if public property is damaged.
Trade names, licences, plates, and insurance details. Photograph the damage, the scene, and any injuries, and get contact info from witnesses.
In Alberta you must report when there are injuries, a fatality, over $5,000 in damage, or a hit and run. Our Calgary collision reporting guide covers where to go and what to bring.
Notify your insurer, then call us at (587) 885-2326 to move your vehicle to the shop you choose.
See a doctor within a day or two, even if you feel fine. Some injuries show up later.
Where Your Vehicle Goes After the Crash
Once your vehicle is safely loaded, you choose where it goes. We do not steer you toward a shop that pays us a referral.
To the shop you choose
We tow your vehicle to the body shop or mechanic you name, anywhere in Calgary. Not sure yet? We can move it to secure storage while you sort out your claim.
Billed to your insurer
Where your policy covers the tow, we set up direct insurance billing, so there is one less thing to pay out of pocket at the scene.
If it goes to impound
If your vehicle ends up in an impound lot, our Calgary impound lot fees and pickup guide explains the costs, location, and what to bring.
Accident Recovery Across Calgary and Surrounding Areas
Involved in a collision in Downtown Calgary, the Northeast or Southwest, or along major highways like Deerfoot Trail or Stoney Trail? Our locally based trucks are spread across the city, so we reach most locations in about 30 minutes or less. We also serve suburban zones and nearby rural areas in the Calgary region.
Common Calgary Collision Areas We Respond To
Collisions cluster on Calgary’s busiest routes and interchanges. Our trucks are positioned to reach them fast, and we cover every residential street in between.
What to Tell Our Dispatcher When You Call
The faster we picture the scene, the faster the right truck reaches you. When you call, have these ready:
- Your location. The nearest intersection, exit, or landmark, and which highway or quadrant you are in.
- Is anyone hurt. If there are injuries, call 911 first, then call us.
- Is it drivable. Whether the vehicle rolls, steers, and brakes tells us to send a flatbed or a wheel-lift.
- Your vehicle. Year, make, model, and plate, so we match the right equipment and your claim.
What Does Accident Towing Cost in Calgary?
Every collision is different, so the fair answer is that it depends on a few things. Here is what shapes the price of a Calgary accident recovery, and how we keep it straightforward:
Distance and location
Where the collision happened and where your vehicle needs to go both matter. A short move to a nearby shop costs less than a cross-city or out-of-town trip to Airdrie or Cochrane.
Recovery difficulty
A car that is drivable onto a flatbed is simple. A vehicle in a ditch, facing the wrong way, or badly damaged needs winching and more time, which affects the cost.
Insurance billing
If your policy covers towing after a collision, we can bill your insurer directly through our insurance billing service, so most of the cost does not come out of your pocket.
No surprise fees
We quote before we roll and explain what is included. See our main Calgary towing page for how our honest, up-front pricing works.
What to Have Ready for Your Insurance Claim
A little paperwork at the scene makes your Calgary collision claim far smoother. Gather what you can before the tow truck pulls away:
Photos of the scene
Take wide shots of the scene and close-ups of the damage to every vehicle, plus the road and any skid marks. Photos settle a lot of claim questions later.
The other driver’s details
Get their name, phone number, licence, plate, and insurance company and policy number, and the names of any passengers or witnesses.
Your police file number
If police attend or you file a report, write down the file or report number. See our Calgary collision reporting guide for what to bring.
Your tow receipt
Keep the receipt and the shop details. Where your policy covers the tow, we can set up direct insurance billing so you pay less out of pocket.
After the Tow: Your Next Steps
Once your vehicle is safely at the shop, a few quick steps get you back on the road and protect your claim:
Get a repair estimate
Ask the body shop for a written estimate. If the car is a write-off, your insurer will guide the next steps, and we can move it wherever it needs to go.
Arrange a rental
Many policies include a rental while your car is repaired. Line it up early so you are not left without a vehicle.
Follow up with your insurer
Report the collision to your insurer as soon as you can, share your photos and the file number, and ask what your policy covers.
See a doctor
See a doctor within a day or two even if you feel fine. Some collision injuries, like whiplash, show up later, and a record helps your claim.
