North York crash? We're close by.
Our yard on Millwick Drive is in North York, in the same part of the city as the Toronto North Collision Reporting Centre on Toryork Drive. That means a short, inexpensive trip for the CRC stop that Toronto requires after a collision. From there we take your car to your mechanic, dealer or body shop, with photos and an itemized invoice for your insurance claim.
You decide who tows your car and where it goes. That’s Ontario law, and it’s how we work.

Close to the Toronto North CRC.
You must report a collision to police when someone is hurt, when combined damage is over $5,000, or when property is damaged. For crashes in North York, that report is usually made at the Toronto North Collision Reporting Centre.
The North CRC on Toryork Drive and our yard on Millwick Drive are both in North York’s west end, so the required stop is a short trip rather than a cross-town detour.
Crashes on the 401, 400 or 404 are handled by the OPP rather than Toronto Police.
