Accident Towing in Etobicoke
Collision on the 427, the Gardiner, The Queensway or Kipling Avenue? We get your car off the road, through the Toronto Collision Reporting Centre stop the police require, and on to the body shop of your choice. Available 24/7 from Long Branch to Rexdale. Call now!
Highway crash or city street, we've got it.
Etobicoke has some of the busiest roads in the GTA: the 427 and 401 interchange, the Gardiner, and long arterials like The Queensway, Kipling and Islington. After a collision here, your towed car has to go to a Toronto Collision Reporting Centre first. We handle that stop and then deliver the car to your mechanic, dealer or body shop, with photos and an itemized invoice for your insurance claim.
Who tows your car and where it goes is your decision. That’s the law in Ontario.

Reporting a crash in Etobicoke.
Ontario requires you to report collisions to police when anyone is hurt, when combined damage is over $5,000, or when property is damaged. Etobicoke is part of Toronto, so most reports are made at a Toronto Collision Reporting Centre.
The Toronto North CRC on Toryork Drive is the closer of the two for most of Etobicoke, especially Rexdale and the Kingsway. We take you there as part of the tow.
Collisions on the 427 and 401 are OPP responsibility. The Gardiner, The Queensway and Lake Shore are Toronto Police roads.
