Car & Auto Towing in Calgary | Cars, SUVs and Pickups
Zak Towing provides car towing across Calgary and nearby communities, day or night, for breakdowns, non running vehicles and trips to your mechanic, dealership or home. Tell us where you are and where the vehicle is headed, and we’ll confirm the price before a tow truck is dispatched.
A Local Auto Towing Company Focused on Getting Your Car There Safely
Most of our auto towing calls start the same way: a car that won’t turn over in a downtown parkade, an engine that quits on Glenmore Trail, or an SUV that needs to reach the dealership for a repair. Zak Towing is a local Calgary towing company, and moving vehicles that can’t move themselves is a big part of what we do. Before we send a truck, we ask about the vehicle, its drivetrain, where it’s parked and where it’s going. That way the right towing equipment shows up and loading goes smoothly. We’ve handled everyday commuter cars and collector vehicles, and brought broken down vehicles back to Calgary from as far as Field, BC. If the problem turns out to be something we can fix on the spot, we’ll tell you, and our roadside assistance may save you the tow.
What Is Auto Towing, and When Do You Need It?
Auto Towing and Related Services
Auto towing is often only part of the job, so we keep related services ready. If the fix can happen where you’re parked, our emergency roadside assistance team can handle it, whether that’s a jump start for a dead battery, help with a flat tire, fuel delivery when the tank runs dry, or a car lockout service when the keys are inside. Vehicles stuck in a ditch or snowbank may need a winch out before they can be towed. AWD vehicles, EVs and low cars usually travel by flatbed, and vehicles damaged in a crash are handled through accident recovery.

vehicles we tow safely & securely
Our auto towing service is built for personal vehicles: the cars, SUVs and pickups Calgarians drive every day. What matters most is choosing the right loading method for the vehicle. All wheel drive and four wheel drive vehicles, hybrids, EVs and cars with low ground clearance are best moved on a flatbed with all four wheels off the road. Some front or rear wheel drive cars can safely be towed by wheel lift. Tell us the make and model when you call and we’ll explain which method we’ll use and why.

Towing Safety Tips
What to Do While Your Tow Truck Is Coming
Move to a Safe Location
If possible, move your vehicle away from moving traffic and stay in a safe area while waiting for auto towing assistance.
Turn On Hazard Lights
Keep your hazard lights on to make your vehicle visible to other drivers, especially at night or during poor weather conditions.
Stay Away From Traffic
Avoid standing near your vehicle or on the roadway. If conditions are unsafe, remain inside with your seatbelt fastened.

When Should You Call for Emergency Towing?
You should call for emergency towing when your vehicle cannot be driven safely due to a breakdown, accident, mechanical failure, flat tire, dead battery, or other roadside emergency. Zak Towing provides 24/7 auto towing and roadside assistance in Calgary to help move your vehicle safely when continuing to drive could cause further damage or create a safety risk.
Your Vehicle Won’t Start
If your car, SUV, or van will not start and roadside assistance cannot resolve the problem, auto towing can safely take your vehicle to a repair facility.
Vehicle Is Not Safe to Drive
Warning lights, major mechanical problems, steering issues, or unusual vehicle damage can make driving unsafe. Towing helps you avoid further damage or unnecessary roadside risk.
Roadside Accident Damage
Even minor collisions can damage steering, suspension, wheels, or other components. If your vehicle is no longer safe to drive, emergency towing can help remove it from the roadside.
Unsafe Highway Breakdown
A breakdown on a busy highway can put you close to moving traffic. Professional towing helps get your disabled vehicle to a safer location or repair facility.
Damaged Wheel
A broken wheel, damaged suspension, or severe impact can make driving dangerous. Towing is a safer option when the vehicle cannot be operated normally.
Vehicle Immobilized
Snow, ice, or difficult road conditions can leave a vehicle unable to move safely. Towing or recovery assistance can help when driving out is not practical.
