Towing Company Edmonton: Tuber Towing & Recovery
When your vehicle breaks down on the Anthony Henday at midnight, when you’re stuck in a snowdrift on Stony Plain Road at -35°C, when an accident on the Yellowhead Trail has your truck undriveable and traffic backing up behind you, what you need is a towing company that picks up the phone, shows up fast, and handles your vehicle like a professional.
That is what Tuber Towing & Recovery has been delivering to Edmonton drivers since 2017. We are a locally owned and operated towing company serving Edmonton and the surrounding area. We are available 24/7, every day of the year. No call centres. No outsourcing. Just our licensed operators, our well-maintained fleet, and a real commitment to getting you off the road safely and fast.
This page covers what you need to know about our services, our coverage area, and what sets Tuber apart.
Our Edmonton Towing Services
Tuber Towing is a full-service towing and recovery company. We run a diverse fleet with equipment sized for everything from a compact car to a loaded commercial trailer. Whatever you’re driving and wherever you’re stranded in Edmonton, we have the right truck for the job.
Light Duty Towing
Our light duty towing covers passenger cars, SUVs, crossovers, pickup trucks, and minivans. Whether you’ve broken down on a quiet residential street or a busy 97 Street intersection, we’ll get there fast. We’ll move your vehicle safely to your preferred destination, your home, a repair shop, or a dealership.
Flatbed Towing
Flatbed towing is one of the safest ways to protect your vehicle during transport. The vehicle sits on a flat platform with all four wheels off the ground. There is no drivetrain friction. There is no risk of transmission or tire damage. We use flatbed service for luxury vehicles, all-wheel-drive cars, and low-clearance vehicles. We also use it when normal towing could cause mechanical damage. Learn more on our Flatbed Towing page.
Motorcycle Towing
Motorcycles require specialized handling and purpose-built equipment to transport without damage. Our operators are trained in proper motorcycle securing and loading. We treat every bike with care whether it’s a sport bike, cruiser, or touring motorcycle. See our Motorcycle Towing page for details.
Heavy Duty Towing
We operate heavy duty equipment capable of handling commercial trucks, semi-trailers, buses, RVs, heavy equipment, and oversized loads. Our Heavy Duty Towing division includes specialized units for heavy truck towing and heavy trailer towing. This is a level of capability many towing companies in Edmonton don’t offer.
Vehicle Recovery
Recovery is not the same as towing. If your vehicle has rolled, left the road, sunk into a ditch, or is out of reach, recovery needs special rigging, winching, and skill. Tuber Towing provides professional recovery services for both light and heavy vehicles including truck recovery and trailer recovery.
Roadside Assistance
Not every breakdown requires a tow. Sometimes you need a boost, a fuel delivery, or someone to open a locked door. Our roadside assistance services include:
- Car unlock service: locked out of your vehicle? We’ll get you back in without damage.
- Emergency fuel delivery: ran dry? We’ll bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest station.
- Battery boosts: for when the cold gets to your battery before you do.
Service Area and Common Situations We Handle
Where We Operate: Edmonton and the Greater Region
Tuber Towing covers Edmonton and a wide surrounding area. We are based in the Edmonton region. Our operators know these roads well. They include the Henday, the Whitemud, and Yellowhead Trail.

Why Edmonton Drivers Choose Tuber Towing
Edmonton has no shortage of towing companies. So why does Tuber Towing consistently earn the trust of drivers, fleet operators, and businesses across the region? Here is what actually sets us apart.
We Are Local and It Shows
Tuber Towing is not a franchise. We are not dispatching calls through a national call centre and passing them to a subcontractor you’ve never heard of. We are an Edmonton-based company. Our operators live here. They drive these roads each shift. They know this city like only locals do. When you call us, you reach our team not a 1-800 number.
Being local also means accountability. Our reputation is built one job at a time in the community we work and live in. That matters to us in a way that no corporate structure can replicate.
24/7 Real Response No Exceptions
Our phones are answered around the clock, 365 days a year. Edmonton winters do not take holidays, and neither do we. Whether it is 3:00 a.m. on Christmas morning or noon on a Tuesday, someone on our team will answer. They will get your location and dispatch the right unit. No voicemail. No callback queues. No delays.
Licensed, Trained Operators
Every Tuber Towing operator is licensed and trained in proper vehicle handling, rigging, and load securing. We follow Alberta Transportation regulations for towing and recovery. This matters not just for your vehicle’s safety during transport it matters for your liability. A vehicle that is hooked or transported the wrong way can get damaged. That is a problem you do not need during a stressful situation.
The Right Equipment for Every Job
We run a mixed fleet covering light duty, flatbed, and heavy duty applications. We do not show up to a commercial recovery job with a light duty wrecker and improvise. The right truck is dispatched for the specific job which protects your vehicle and gets the work done efficiently.
Trusted by Businesses and Fleet Operators
Beyond individual drivers, Tuber Towing works with businesses across the Edmonton region including partners in transportation, logistics, and commercial operations. Companies like AMT Truck rely on our towing and recovery services. Operators in the Acheson and Nisku industrial corridors also rely on these services. We understand how disruptive commercial vehicle downtime is, and we respond accordingly.
Roadside Safety is Built Into Everything We Do
Our operators work live road lanes every shift. We deploy Traffic Units and second vehicles at busy roadside scenes. Our trucks use high-powered amber lights for maximum visibility. We also reinforce safe roadside practices with our whole team. When we work beside your disabled vehicle on the Henday, you need a crew that takes safety seriously. We do.
Common Situations We Handle Every Day in Edmonton
Every call is different, but here are the scenarios our team handles most frequently across the Edmonton area:
- Winter breakdowns: dead batteries, frozen fuel lines, vehicles that won’t start at -35°C and need transport to a shop
- Collision recovery: accident-damaged vehicles that need careful removal from the scene and transport for repairs
- Ditch recovery: vehicles that have slid off icy roads, often on rural approaches to Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, and Leduc
- Parking lot lockouts: locked out at a shopping centre, workplace, or apartment building
- Fuel emergencies: running dry on the Henday or Whitemud, often late at night
- Mechanical breakdowns: overheating, transmission failure, blown tires anything that makes the vehicle undriveable
- Post-accident impoundment: when a vehicle must be moved from an accident scene by law
- Commercial vehicle breakdowns: semi-trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment across Edmonton’s industrial corridors
Heavy-Duty & Commercial Towing in Edmonton
Most towing companies in Edmonton focus exclusively on light duty passenger vehicles. Tuber Towing operates at a different scale. Our heavy duty division handles the vehicles and loads that most operators simply cannot touch:
- Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers
- Flatdeck and enclosed trailers
- Buses and coach vehicles
- RVs and fifth wheels
- Heavy construction equipment
- Oversized and wide-load scenarios
Commercial towing in Edmonton’s industrial zones, like Acheson, Nisku, and the Northeast Industrial, needs skilled operators. They must understand weight ratings, trailer coupling, and Alberta Transport rules for moving heavy vehicles. Our team does. If your fleet has a unit down in the field, call us and we will get the right equipment dispatched without delay.
What to Do When You Need a Tow in Edmonton
Knowing the right steps when your vehicle breaks down can keep you safer and speed up your rescue. Here is what to do while you wait for Tuber Towing:
- Get to safety first. If possible, steer your vehicle off the active travel lanes and onto the shoulder or a nearby parking area. Never stop in a live traffic lane unless your vehicle is completely undriveable.
- Turn on your hazard lights immediately. Do this even before you call for help. Your hazards are your most important safety signal, especially at night or in poor weather.
- Stay in your vehicle if it is safe. Especially on Edmonton’s major arterials and ring road, standing outside a disabled vehicle puts you at significant risk. Stay inside with your seatbelt on until help arrives.
- Call Tuber Towing. Give us your exact location the street or highway name, direction of travel, and the nearest cross street or landmark. If you are not sure where you are, your phone’s GPS can help.
- Set out reflectors or flares if you have them. If you are stopped on a highway or in low visibility conditions, emergency reflectors placed behind your vehicle give approaching traffic more warning distance.
- Do not attempt roadside repairs in live traffic. Changing a tire or checking under the hood on the shoulder of a busy road is significantly more dangerous than it looks. When in doubt, wait for us.
Frequently Asked Questions | Towing Company Edmonton
How quickly can Tuber Towing reach me in Edmonton?
Response times vary by location, time of day, and demand particularly during winter storms when call volume is high. We dispatch the nearest available unit to your location as quickly as possible and will give you an estimated arrival time when you call. Being within Edmonton city limits typically means a faster arrival than outer areas like Leduc or Stony Plain.
Do you tow motorcycles in Edmonton?
Yes. We use specialized equipment designed for motorcycles purpose-built wheel chocks, proper tie-down rigging, and trained operators who know how to load and secure bikes without damage. We transport all types of motorcycles including sport bikes, cruisers, and touring bikes.
Does Tuber Towing handle accident recovery in Edmonton?
Yes. We work accident scenes regularly across Edmonton and surrounding highways. This includes collision-damaged vehicles that cannot be driven, vehicles that need to be moved from intersections or roadways, and post-accident impoundments. If police are on scene, coordinate with them first before initiating any towing we can advise you on what to expect when you call.
Can Tuber Towing tow a vehicle that is not registered in my name?
In most cases, yes but we may ask for identification and confirmation that you have authority to move the vehicle, especially for impoundments or situations where ownership may be unclear. Call us and we can walk you through what is needed for your specific situation.
Do you provide towing services outside of Edmonton?
Yes. We regularly serve Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, and Acheson. For locations beyond our regular service area, call us and we will let you know what we can do. In some cases we can accommodate longer distances particularly for commercial and heavy duty situations.
What is the difference between towing and recovery?
Towing moves a vehicle that is accessible and can be hooked or loaded with standard equipment. Recovery involves vehicles that have gone off-road, rolled, sunk, or are in positions where standard towing cannot reach them. Recovery requires winching, rigging, and technical expertise to extract the vehicle before it can be transported. Tuber Towing handles both.
Is Tuber Towing available on holidays and weekends?
Yes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Holidays, weekends, and overnight hours are included. Emergencies do not follow a calendar, and neither do we.
How do I know I can trust a towing company in Edmonton?
Look for a company with a verifiable local presence, licensed operators, a real phone number that is answered directly, and genuine reviews from Edmonton customers. Be cautious of companies that cannot give you a clear service address, that seem evasive about their rates without explanation, or that pressure you to sign anything at the scene before your vehicle is moved. Tuber Towing has been serving Edmonton since 2017. Our track record and reputation speak for themselves.
