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 is moving a car, SUV or light pickup with a tow truck when it can’t be driven, or shouldn’t be. The most common reason is a breakdown: a failed alternator, a transmission that won’t engage, an overheating engine or a car that simply won’t start. Towing is also the safer choice when a warning light, grinding noise or leaking fluid tells you the next kilometre could cause more damage. Not every tow is an emergency. People also call us to relocate a non running vehicle from storage, take a car they bought privately to a shop, or deliver a vehicle to a dealership for warranty work. If your car only needs a battery boost service, a spare tire or a fuel delivery, a roadside visit is usually quicker and costs less. If it was in a collision, our accident recovery service is the better fit.

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.

SUVs and Crossovers

Pickup Trucks (Light and Medium Duty)

Vans (Minivans and Cargo Vans)

Luxury Vehicles (BMW, Tesla, Audi, etc.)

Small Commercial / Fleet Vehicles

Classic  Cars

Hybrids and electric vehicles

Whether you drive a little car or a high end SUV, we have the equipment and qualified workers to tow your vehicle safely.

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.

Call us with your location, your vehicle and where it’s going, and we’ll give you a clear price and an estimated arrival time. We’ll get your car moving safely, day or night.

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.

Ali did a phenomenal job. My truck broke down while driving home from vacation in BC and he came to rescue me from Field BC. Gave me a price over the phone (cheaper than any others), stuck to it, and drove me all the way back to Calgary. Would highly recommend this company!

This message is for Ali at Zac Twoing. Luckily, last night we couldn't find anyone else nearby Red Deer to help us, but he was available. He arrived quickly, was very professional and kind, and went above and beyond to assist us. That really meant a lot. Thank you, Ali, and gratitude to Zac Twing.

We had them tow our 1927 Franklin and were very satisfied with their service. Our driver Ali was very professional and kind and took great care of our car ensuring it was delivered safely! Will definitely be using their service in the future and would recommend to anyone, especially people who need antique vehicles towed. 5 stars.
