Because breakdowns don’t wait for office hours.
It was 2:14 a.m. last July when my friend Maya’s phone buzzed on the nightstand.
“Maya…my car just died on the Conestoga Parkway. I’m stuck under the overpass with two sleeping kids in the back.”
Twenty minutes later, a WR Towing flatbed rolled up, hazard lights painting the asphalt amber. The operator, a Kitchener local, had her minivan loaded and the kids buckled into the heated cab before the youngest even woke up.
That’s the moment I realized 24-hour towing isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifeline.
Benefits of 24-Hour Towing
- Safety First: Stranded vehicles on highways are vulnerable to accidents. Fast towing reduces your exposure to traffic risks.
- Flexibility: Day or night, WR Towing responds, so you’re not stuck rearranging your schedule or waiting until morning.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing a reliable team is a call away eases the stress of breakdowns, especially for late-night or long-distance drivers.
Example: Imagine you’re driving to the Kultrún World Music Festival, and your engine overheats. A quick call to WR Towing’s emergency towing line (+1 519 861 1211) gets a flatbed truck to you quickly, safely transporting your car to a mechanic without damage.
