Professional towing and roadside assistance available 24/7 across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
Every day, people call 24-hour towing services for various reasons across Toronto and the GTA. While breakdowns can differ, many follow similar patterns. Here are the top three most common reasons drivers reach out for help:
Battery issues remain the leading cause of roadside assistance. Batteries typically last between 3–5 years depending on quality and usage. Cold GTA winters and frequent short drives can shorten battery life and leave drivers stranded. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues.
👉 Tip: We recommend batteries from Canadian Tire—they come with up to a 5-year warranty!
Lockouts are still a major issue despite keyless entry tech. Whether keys are lost, stolen, or left inside the vehicle, drivers often find themselves locked out. Many towing and roadside assistance providers can help you regain access quickly, either through their technicians or an automotive locksmith.
👉 Tip: Keep a spare key in a safe, accessible spot.
Tire issues like flats and blowouts are hard to avoid in Toronto and the GTA due to debris, potholes, and general wear. Many drivers overlook regular tire maintenance, which makes them more prone to emergencies.
👉 Tip: Check tire pressure and tread regularly to help avoid breakdowns.
