Towing Service Merivale | Barrhaven Towing

Q: How fast can a tow truck reach Merivale Rd?

Most Merivale calls get a truck on scene in 10 to 20 minutes. The south end near Hunt Club Rd is closest to our Greenbank Rd yard. The Carling Ave end takes a few minutes longer.

Q: Can you tow from Merivale Mall or Costco Merivale parking?

Yes. Both lots are regulars for us. Tell us the entrance you parked closest to and we will pull straight in. Battery boosts and lockouts are the most common jobs in those lots.

Q: My car was hit at the Meadowlands Dr intersection. What now?

Move to the shoulder if your car can roll and traffic permits. Otherwise stay in the vehicle with your hazards on. Call us and call police. We coordinate the tow with the responding officer.

Q: Do you do flatbed towing for AWD vehicles in Merivale?

Yes. Flatbed is our standard call for AWD vehicles, low clearance sports cars and any car the manufacturer says cannot be flat towed. We load and transport without putting wheels on the road.

Q: How much does towing on Merivale Rd usually cost?

Price depends on tow type, vehicle size and drop off distance. A short Merivale Rd to local shop tow is one of our most common jobs and gets a flat quote on the phone.

Q: Can you come at 1 am to a Merivale plaza?

Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day. Overnight calls to Merivale plazas get the same trucks and same response times as midday calls.

Q: Do you cover the area around Baseline Rd at Merivale?

Yes. The Baseline and Merivale intersection is one of our most worked spots. Stalls and minor collisions there get priority because they can block a lane.

Towing service Merivale covers the full Merivale Rd corridor, from Hunt Club Rd in the south to Carling Ave in the north. We dispatch from Greenbank Rd, which puts most Merivale addresses 10 to 20 minutes away.

01 , The Merivale Corridor

A commercial strip that breaks down a lot

Merivale Rd is the busiest commercial spine in west Ottawa. Plazas, big box retailers, restaurants and offices line it on both sides. With volume comes friction. We pick up fender benders in Merivale Mall parking, dead batteries at Costco Merivale, and stalled vehicles outside the Loblaws at Meadowlands Dr almost every week.

Our base on Greenbank Rd is a short hop west. From the yard to the south end of Merivale near Hunt Club Rd takes well under 15 minutes in normal traffic. For the north end at Carling Ave, plan on around 20.

If you want the full towing menu across the city, the towing service Ottawa category page lists every option in one place.

02 , Where We Work

Spots along Merivale where the phone rings most

These are the addresses and stretches where we run the most calls. If you are at any of them right now, we know the access route.

Merivale Mall

Dead batteries and lockouts in the main lot. Tow outs after fender benders near the south entrance off Viewmount Dr.

Costco Merivale

High volume parking with tight lanes. Door dings turn into bumper damage tows more often than you would think.

RioCan strip near Slack Rd

Quick service tows for plaza tenants and customers. Battery boosts in winter are the top job.

Meadowlands Dr intersection

Heavy peak hour traffic, regular minor collisions. We coordinate police drop offs when the vehicle has to be cleared from the lane.

Viewmount Dr

Cuts across Merivale and feeds residential streets. Lots of overnight stalls in winter from cars left out on the street.

Baseline Rd at Merivale

High volume intersection. Stalls and fender benders here block lanes fast, so we treat them as priority calls.

04 , Winter on Merivale

Plowed snow turns plazas into traps

Merivale Rd plazas pile snow on the perimeter through January and February. Cars parked next to those piles get blocked in or boxed against the curb. We do a steady stream of light winch jobs all winter to free vehicles without damage.

Dead batteries spike when temperatures fall past minus 25. Cars left overnight in the office lots along Viewmount Dr and Meadowlands Dr struggle to crank in the morning. A boost is usually the cheaper fix if the battery holds a partial charge.

If your vehicle slid into a snowbank along Merivale Rd, stop spinning the wheels right away. Spinning packs ice under the tires and makes the winch job harder. Call and we will winch you out cleanly.
