Have you ever needed to call a towing company because you were stuck?

Did you worry about who would show up to help you? When it comes to finding a trustworthy and reliable towing company, it can be tough to know who to choose. You want to make sure the company you call is not run by criminals. They could use your vehicle for illegal purposes. Fortunately, there is one way to ensure that the towing company you’re working with is above board and safe to use.  Let’s talk about the Automobile Lockout License.

Let me take a brief moment to bang the Tuber Towing drum. Since day one, Tuber has been proud to follow all laws for our work.  Even if we haven’t agreed, we voiced out concerns then obliged.  We do not have control over the requirements. To respect the public and our political system, we will follow them. We will also strive to go above and beyond. In some cases, we may even improve those requirements

The Licensing System in Alberta

In Alberta towing companies that provide lockout services must be licensed by Alberta Justice. Each tow truck operator must also have an active license to possess the tools needed for lockout services. In addition, the operator’s license is only valid while working for a Company that also possess’ this license.  This licensing system ensures lockout service providers have no criminal charges. It helps customers trust them with their vehicles.

How to Check for a License

To ensure that you’re hiring a licensed towing company, you can check the list on the Alberta Justice website. This will confirm that the company is licensed and that their tow truck operators are also licensed. Additionally, you can ask the towing company for their license number, which you can then verify on the website. The licence is one of many costs of running a towing business, but to operate legally and provide unlock services in the Greater Edmonton Region, and anywhere in Alberta, both the operator and the company must hold a valid licence.

Why Licensing Matters

The licensing system for towing companies and tow truck operators is important. It helps make sure the people you hire are trustworthy. It also helps make sure they are reliable. By requiring companies and people to pass criminal record checks, the government helps protect consumers and their property. Additionally, licensed companies and operators are more likely to be insured and bonded. This can provide extra protection if your vehicle is damaged.

Conclusion
