Removing Cars From Parking Lots
Removing cars from low clearance areas is not an easy task. If you are in Calgary and find yourself in this situation then call us. Out light duty wheel-lift tow trucks are the right tool for this recovery. A tool is slid under your vehicle and it lifts the wheels off the ground and doesn’t require a lot of space to move the vehicle.

Tire dollies are like roller skates for your car. If you are in a really tight spot we can use this tool to position your car to winch / pull it out or worst case scenario push it out. No recovery is the same and sometimes being creative is required – but we always got the job done and done safe.
If you find yourself in a tight spot then Choose Calgary Towing and call (587) 885-2326

How We Handle Low Clearance Tows — Our Process
- Garage Info – When you call, tell us your garage address, entrance height, ramp slope, and any obstructions.
- Dispatch – We send a truck suited for low clearance work (wheel lift style) with appropriate gear.
- Garage Entry Attempt – We carefully navigate low clearance zones, taking extreme caution to avoid damage.
- Alternative Methods – If entry fails, we may winch your vehicle out to a more open area, or place it on tire dollies (rollers) to reposition it for removal.
- Recovery – Once in a suitable position, we tow the car out safely using the least risky method possible.
Transparent Pricing & What Affects Cost
Our garage recovery and low clearance towing includes a base service within a certain distance from central Calgary. If your garage has extra obstacles (tight ramps, steep slopes, narrow lanes), is further away, or requires dollies, winching, or extra labor, a modest additional charge may apply. We always confirm the full cost with you before starting work—no hidden surprises.
Underground & Low Clearance Garage Towing in Calgary
If your car is stuck in an underground parking garage, condominium parkade, or any low-ceiling structure, don’t panic. We specialize in low clearance towing across Calgary and surrounding areas. Our wheel-lift tow trucks are roughly the height of a standard pickup, allowing us to enter many garages that are inaccessible to larger wreckers. Providing your garage clearance height in advance speeds up our response.
What Garage Heights Can We Clear
Our wreckers can often squeeze into garages with overhead clearance above six feet two inches or more. In many cases, “10 ft and lower” garages may also be accessible depending on layout and ramp angle. If direct entry isn’t possible due to height restrictions or ceiling obstacles, we employ alternative methods like winching your car to a more favorable position, or using tire dollies to maneuver in tight spaces.
Low Clearance Towing in Calgary – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is low clearance towing?
A: Low clearance towing is designed for vehicles that cannot be safely accessed by standard tow trucks due to height restrictions. This often includes cars stuck in underground parking, parkades, or tight commercial garages across Calgary.
Q: What types of vehicles usually require low clearance towing?
A: Vehicles with low ground clearance, lowered suspensions, sports cars, luxury vehicles, and some electric vehicles often need specialized towing methods to prevent bumper, splitter, or undercarriage damage.
Q: Can low clearance towing be used in underground parking garages?
A: Yes. Low clearance towing is commonly used to remove vehicles from underground parkades, condo garages, and shopping centres where standard tow trucks cannot fit due to height limitations.
Q: How is a vehicle removed from a low-height parking structure?
A: Specialized equipment such as dollies, skates, and low-profile tools are used to safely move vehicles without scraping or damage. In some cases, a flatbed tow truck in Calgary is used once the vehicle is cleared from the structure.
Q: Is low clearance towing safe for luxury or exotic vehicles?
A: Yes. Low clearance towing is ideal for high-value vehicles because it minimizes contact with the ground and avoids steep angles that can damage front or rear components.
Q: Can low clearance towing help if my car won’t start in a parkade?
A: Absolutely. If a vehicle won’t start or has mechanical issues in a garage, low clearance towing allows safe removal without attempting to drive the car out, which could cause damage.
Q: Is low clearance towing available 24/7 in Calgary?
A: Yes. Low clearance towing services are available around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays, to assist drivers stuck in parking structures at any time.
Q: Does low clearance towing work for accident-damaged vehicles?
A: Yes. After minor collisions in parking structures, vehicles may not be drivable. In these situations, accident recovery towing in Calgary may be required after safe extraction.
Q: How do I know if my situation requires low clearance towing?
A: If your vehicle is in a space with height restrictions or risks scraping when moved, low clearance towing is usually the safest option. Dispatch can help confirm the best approach based on your location.
Q: Can low clearance towing be coordinated with roadside assistance?
A: Yes. In some cases, minor issues can be resolved on-site. If repairs are possible, roadside assistance in Calgary may be attempted before towing.
