Towing in Barrhaven, Ottawa
Strandherd, Greenbank, Longfields and Half Moon Bay. Barrhaven is growing fast and we cover all of it, around the clock.
Barrhaven is one of the fastest-growing parts of Ottawa, and newer suburbs generate a particular mix of calls: long commutes, big driveways, and a lot of two-car households.
Getting in and out
Barrhaven funnels through a small number of main routes: Strandherd Drive, Greenbank Road, Woodroffe Avenue and the 416. When one of them is blocked, the whole area feels it.
We approach from whichever direction is actually moving rather than whichever looks shortest on a map. When you call, tell us the nearest major intersection and we will work out the best way in.
Commuter breakdowns
A large share of Barrhaven works downtown or in Kanata, which means long daily drives and a lot of highway kilometres. Breakdowns tend to happen either at the start of the commute on a cold morning or on the way home on the 416.
Cold mornings are overwhelmingly battery calls. If your car has been cranking slowly for a week, it is telling you something. A boost will get you moving, but have the battery tested before it strands you somewhere worse.
Newer subdivisions
Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge and the newer parts of Longfields have wide streets and long driveways, which makes access easy for us. What they do not always have is finished street signage or accurate map data on brand-new streets.
If you are on a very new street, a dropped pin sent by text is far more reliable than an address. Our text line takes location pins directly.
