How It Works
Real-Time Tow Truck Positioning Across the Montreal Region
When you call, the operator pulls up a live map showing every available rig in the network. Instead of routing by geography alone, Montreal Tow Truck matches the closest unit with the right equipment to your breakdown type. A flatbed for a sedan on the highway. A wheel-lift for a quick city tow. A heavy-duty wrecker for a multi-vehicle accident. The operator confirms price, arrival window and driver details before any rig leaves the lot.
The network spans from downtown Montreal through the outer suburbs and into rural approaches. North-side staging handles calls toward Laval and saint-laurent; east-side rigs cover Longueuil and the south-shore corridor; west-side units manage Brossard and the outer perimeter. 24/7 emergency towing means no waiting for business hours. Heavy-duty recovery and winch extraction are available any hour. Pricing runs $80 to $150 hook-up plus $3 to $6 per kilometre, with after-hours surcharges between 10 PM and 6 AM quoted upfront.
