The tow is where many car sales go wrong.
You agree on a price, and then the truck arrives. Suddenly there's a “hook fee,” a “distance charge,” or a smaller payment than you were promised.
Not here. Our free towing Calgary service comes with every vehicle we buy. There's no hook fee, no fuel charge and no mileage charge. Nothing comes out of your offer. This page explains how our towing works, what to expect on pickup day, and how to get your car ready.

What “Free Towing” Really Means
Lots of companies say “free towing.” Here's exactly what it means with us.
No distance charge.
Your offer is the same across our whole service area.
No deductions.
The amount we quote is the amount you get, as long as the car matches your description.
No surprise extras.
Flat tires, a dead battery or a car that won't roll don't add a fee.
Free towing comes with every car we buy. It's part of the deal, not a separate service.
Why We Don't Charge for the Tow
Towing costs us fuel, time and equipment. So why is it free for you? Because a surprise fee at the curb is the fastest way to lose a customer's trust. We build the cost of the tow into how we run our business. That way, the number you hear on the phone is the number you get in your driveway. No math, no fine print.

Cars end up in all sorts of places. Tell us where yours is, and we'll plan for it.

Tough Tows We Handle
Not every car is ready to roll onto a truck. These situations are common, especially in a Calgary winter.
Frozen to the ground
After a melt and a deep freeze, tires can stick to ice. Tell us, and we'll come prepared.
Flat tires and seized brakes
Months of sitting can lock brakes and flatten tires. Give us a heads-up and the driver will come ready for it.
No keys
Without keys, the steering may be locked and the car may be stuck in park. Let us know so we can plan the tow.
All-wheel drive
Many AWD vehicles shouldn't be towed with any wheels on the ground. We'll ask about your drivetrain so the car is moved the right way.
Low-clearance parkades
Underground stalls are tricky. Ceilings are low and ramps are tight, so a full-size flatbed may not make it in. Send us the clearance height, and we'll plan the tow around it.
Buried in snow
Please shovel a path to the car if you can. If you can't, tell us, and we'll plan more time.
How to Get Your Car Ready for Towing
A little prep makes pickup day fast and easy.
Remove your licence plate.
In Alberta, the plate belongs to you, not the car.
Empty the car.
Check the glove box, console, trunk and under the seats.
Have your papers ready.
Photo ID and your registration, in the owner's name.
Clear a path.
Move other vehicles, bins or snow out of the way if you can.
Tell your building.
In a condo or apartment, let your property manager know a tow truck is coming.
Leave the keys handy.
If you have them, keep them with your paperwork.
Towing Traps to Avoid
Some buyers use “free towing” as bait. Watch for these signs before you agree to anything.
A low number at the door.
The buyer quotes high, then cuts the price once the truck is hooked up.
Fees hidden in the fine print.
“Free towing” within a small zone, with charges outside it.
Pressure to decide now.
A fair offer doesn't disappear in five minutes.
No bill of sale.
Without one, you have no proof the car left your hands.
Ask every buyer one simple question. “Is the amount you quoted the amount I'll be paid after towing?” A clear yes is what you want to hear.
Towing Through Every Calgary Season
Calgary weather changes how a tow goes. Here's what each season brings.
Winter.
Snowbanks, frozen tires and dead batteries. Shovel a path if you can, and tell us if the car is stuck.
Spring.
Melting snow turns back alleys and acreage lanes into mud. We may suggest a time when the ground is firmer.
Summer.
Hail season brings a rush of damaged cars. Book early after a big storm.
Fall.
A great time to sell before winter adds more wear, rust and cold-start trouble.
Whatever the season, the tow is still free.
Calgary Rules Worth Knowing
Timing your tow can save you money and stress.
The three-day rule.
City rules say a car left on the street has to be drivable and must move every 72 hours. If not, it can be treated as abandoned.
No plates, no street.
A car without valid registration or insurance isn't allowed on a Calgary street or lane at all.
Snow route bans.
When the city declares a snow route parking ban, cars on those routes need to move. A car that won't start can be ticketed or towed by the city. Booking our free tow first avoids that.
Where Our Free Towing Covers
Our free towing Calgary service covers every quadrant of the city. That includes everywhere from Evanston to Mahogany and from Bowness to Forest Lawn. We also tow from rural properties west and southwest of the city, including Bragg Creek and Priddis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the tow still free if my car doesn't run?
Yes. Running or not, the tow is free. A car that won't start, roll or steer just needs a little more planning.
Is free towing Calgary-wide, or only in some areas?
It covers all of Calgary and the surrounding communities we serve. The tow stays free, and it never comes out of your offer.
Does someone have to meet the tow truck?
Yes, in most cases. The person named on the registration should be there with photo ID to sign over the car.
Can you tow a car from an impound lot?
Call us first. Impound lots have their own rules and fees, and those need to be settled before a car can be released.
How soon can you tow my car?
Within the city, quick turnarounds are common. Rural pickups may need a little more notice, so call early.
