Towing and roadside services in Edmonton
One number covers all of it. Tell the dispatcher what happened and we send the right truck for the job, not just the nearest one.
Light duty towing
Cars, SUVs, pickups and vans, taken to your mechanic, your dealer, a body shop or your driveway. The driver picks the hook-up that suits the vehicle: wheel-lift for most, flatbed when it matters. Not an emergency? Book ahead for a project car, a non-runner or a vehicle that needs to cross town. Same trucks, same drivers.
Heavy duty towing and recovery
Semis, trailers, RVs, gravel trucks and equipment. We run Class 8 wreckers and flatbeds, and we work the Yellowhead, the Henday and the QEII at all hours. A unit on its side or off the road is recovery work, and we do a lot of it. Details on the heavy duty towing page.
Flatbed towing
All-wheel drive, 4x4s, electric vehicles, lowered cars and anything with collision damage ride on a deck, not on two wheels. Our flatbed towing keeps the drivetrain and suspension off the road for the whole trip.
Winch-outs and ditch recovery
Snowbank, ditch, soft shoulder or a parking-lot berm. We winch vehicles out without adding damage, then tow if it won’t drive. More on our vehicle recovery page.
Accident and collision recovery
After a crash you want a careful hand, not a hustle. We clear the scene, work with police and insurers when they’re there, and take your vehicle to the body shop you choose, or hold it in our yard until you and your insurer decide. You pick the towing company, not whoever shows up first (see the FAQ on Alberta’s 200-metre rule).
Lockouts
Keys in the car, fob in the trunk, a door frozen shut at minus thirty. Our car unlock service gets you in without damage.
Battery boost
Lights left on, a weak battery in the cold, a truck that sat all weekend. We boost it on the spot and tell you if the battery is done. Hybrids and EVs too. More under roadside assistance in Edmonton.
Tire change
Flat on the Whitemud at rush hour or in a Mill Woods driveway. If you have a usable spare we put it on. If you don’t, we tow you to the tire shop.
Fuel delivery
Ran dry on the QEII or in a residential neighbourhood? Our emergency fuel delivery brings up to 10 litres, enough to reach the nearest station. No tow needed.
Motorcycle towing
Bikes travel on a flatbed with wheel chocks and soft tie-downs. See motorcycle towing.
Traffic control
Hooking up on a highway shoulder is the most dangerous part of this work. On high-speed sections we set up traffic control before anyone steps out of the cab, and we work with police when they’re on scene. Alberta’s slow-down-move-over law means passing drivers have to move over or slow to 60 km/h once our lights are on. We also provide traffic control on its own for municipal, utility and contractor work.
Long-distance towing
Need a vehicle moved to Calgary, Red Deer, Grande Prairie or Fort McMurray? We tow long distance across Alberta and beyond. Call for a quote and a pickup time.

Breakdowns and collisions on the high-speed sections included.
If you’re stopped on a highway, stay in the vehicle, put the hazards on and tell the dispatcher your direction of travel and the nearest exit or kilometre marker.
Nearby communities
St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Acheson and Leduc and the airport, plus Parkland, Sturgeon, Strathcona and Leduc counties. Outside these areas? Call anyway and we’ll tell you straight.
Where our trucks come from
We have trucks all around the Edmonton region, ready to help wherever you are. Our storage yard is at 145 Madison Crescent in Spruce Grove, just west of the city. That’s where a vehicle goes if it needs to be held after a collision. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 4:00. Dispatch never closes.
What happens when you call
- A dispatcher answers. Not a voicemail, not a menu. Tell them where you are, what you’re driving and whether it rolls, steers and brakes.
- You get a real ETA. We know where our closest truck is and what traffic and weather are doing, and we tell you what that adds up to. If the ETA changes, dispatch calls you.
- The driver sizes up the job on scene and picks the safest hook-up: wheel-lift, flatbed or winch.
- Your vehicle goes where you say. Your mechanic, your dealer, a body shop, your driveway, or our yard if it needs to be stored.
Worth having ready: the keys, the make, model and colour, and your location (see the FAQ below). If you’re in an underground parkade, tell us the clearance height. Most flatbeds won’t fit, so we send a wheel-lift.
Fleet and commercial accounts
Trades, delivery vans, work trucks, dealers, body shops and property managers call the same number everyone else does, with an account behind it: billing set up for your business, and light and heavy under one roof. Set it up on our fleet towing in Edmonton page.

What customers say
“Excellent service, I was stuck because of parking in an Edmonton side street that hadn’t been plowed. The driver managed to talk me out of my tight spot and I was able to be on my way quickly and easily.”
Linda M., Google review
“Our company used Tuber Towing to haul our damaged trailers from Fox Creek to Edmonton for repair. They were amazing at getting us an accurate timeline for arrival, were incredibly friendly and very efficient. We will definitely be using them again!”
Heather B., Google review
“Thankfully, Tuber Towing was able to come and retrieve the car from so far away and take it to the service centre in Edmonton. It was a pleasant surprise that they were able to come earlier than initially anticipated, and they were very professional and considerate in their communication with me.”
Angela S., Google review
Edmonton towing FAQ
How much does a tow cost in Edmonton?
It depends on four things: how far the tow is, what the vehicle is, which truck it needs (a flatbed costs more to run than a wheel-lift) and whether there’s recovery work first, like winching out of a ditch. Tell dispatch those four things and you get a price before the truck rolls. More on what moves the price: affordable towing in Edmonton.
How long does it take for a tow truck to arrive in Edmonton?
It depends on where you are, traffic and weather. Dispatch answers 24/7, sends the closest available truck and gives you a realistic ETA when you call. Nights, weekends and holidays are the same call.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your location (cross streets, or the highway, your direction and the nearest exit or kilometre marker), the make and model, and whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes. That lets dispatch send the right truck the first time.
Can a tow truck that wasn’t called come to my accident scene?
No. Since August 2025, Alberta rules bar tow operators from coming within 200 metres of a collision scene unless police, emergency crews or the driver asked for them, with a $1,000 fine for breaking the rule. You choose your own towing company. Call 587-598-8237 and we’ll come to you.
What should I do if I’m stranded on the Henday, Whitemud, Yellowhead or QEII?
Stay inside the vehicle, hazards on, and call us. Give the dispatcher the highway, your direction of travel and the nearest exit or kilometre marker. Don’t get out onto the road unless there’s a fire risk. We set up traffic control before we hook up.
Do you tow AWD, 4×4, electric vehicles and motorcycles?
Yes. AWD, 4×4 and electric vehicles go on a flatbed so no driven wheel touches the road. Motorcycles ride on a flatbed with chocks and soft tie-downs.
Can you take my car to my own mechanic, dealer or home?
Yes. You pick the destination anywhere in the Edmonton region and we tow there. If the shop is closed, we can drop it in their lot or hold it in our yard until morning.
Can Tuber handle semis, heavy trucks and equipment?
Yes. Class 8 wreckers and flatbeds for semis, trailers, RVs and equipment. See the heavy duty towing page.
What areas outside Edmonton do you cover?
Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Acheson, Leduc, St. Albert, Sherwood Park and the surrounding counties. Not sure? Call and we’ll confirm.
Why call a local Edmonton towing company?
When you call us, you reach our dispatcher, who sends our truck and our driver. Nobody passes your call down a chain. The dispatcher knows the roads, the driver knows the shortcuts, and the gear is set up for Alberta winters.
