Less Guesswork When the Situation Feels Urgent
Nova Towing and Recovery focuses on the practical details that turn an urgent towing call into a clear pickup plan.
Your exact position comes first
An address, nearest intersection or location pin helps dispatch understand where the vehicle is. Mention the direction of travel and whether it is blocking a lane.
The vehicle’s condition shapes the response
Damage, locked wheels, steering problems and access restrictions can affect equipment and loading. We ask about them before confirming the job.
You hear the current arrival estimate
Nova Towing and Recovery discusses availability for your location and situation. Traffic, weather and active calls affect timing.
Pricing is discussed before dispatch
Provide the pickup, intended destination and loading details. Ask what the quoted job includes before agreeing to the tow.
Delivery has a receiving plan
A repair facility, home or other suitable destination needs to be ready for the vehicle. We discuss delivery access and who can receive it.
The request goes to the right service
A roadside boost, collision tow and disabled-vehicle pickup are different requests. Nova Towing helps assess which service fits the situation.

Disabled Vehicles and Pickup Conditions We Assess
Give Nova Towing dispatch the year, make, model and condition. Vehicle size, weight, drivetrain and access determine whether suitable equipment can be arranged.
Passenger cars that won’t run
A no-start car may still roll and steer. Tell dispatch about keys, electrical power and wheel movement.
Cars that run but cannot move
A transmission, drivetrain or steering fault can stop a vehicle being driven. Describe the symptoms without attempting to force it to move.
Crossovers and suitable light vehicles
Tell Nova Towing the exact model. Weight, dimensions and loading requirements need to be checked before dispatch.
AWD, electric and low-clearance vehicles
These vehicles may have specific transport and loading requirements. Give the model and any modifications when you call.
Vehicles with locked or damaged wheels
Report the wheel condition before booking. Additional equipment or a different loading arrangement may be needed.
Restricted or awkward pickup locations
Low parkades, tight lots, slopes and blocked access can affect recovery and transport. Describe the space as well as the vehicle.

A vehicle that is unsafe to drive

Emergency Towing Calgary: Answers Before You Call
Useful information about urgent dispatch, pickup details, pricing and the right service for your situation.
What should I do first if my vehicle needs emergency towing?
If there is an immediate threat to life, health or safety, serious injury or a vehicle fire, call 911 first. Otherwise, call Nova Towing and Recovery with the exact vehicle location, callback number, vehicle model and what happened.
How fast can an emergency tow truck arrive in Calgary?
Arrival depends on truck availability, your exact location, traffic, weather and the job requirements. Nova Towing and Recovery confirms the current estimate for your request; a fixed 15-, 20- or 30-minute arrival is not guaranteed.
How much does emergency towing cost?
Rough planning ranges are CAD $125–$200 for a straightforward short local move, $200–$350+ for more travel or loading work, and $250–$400+ for after-hours work. These are estimates, not fixed rates. Call for the actual quote and ask whether tax applies.
Can you tow a vehicle that starts but is unsafe to drive?
A vehicle can need towing even if the engine starts. Tell dispatch about the fault, damage and wheel movement so Nova Towing can assess suitable transport.
Can you help if the wheels are locked or the car will not go into neutral?
Call with the exact model and condition before booking. Locked wheels or a vehicle that cannot roll may need additional equipment or a different loading arrangement.
Do you provide emergency towing in all Calgary quadrants?
Nova Towing and Recovery accepts urgent towing requests across NW, NE, SW and SE Calgary. Access, vehicle suitability and current truck availability determine whether a response can be arranged.
Can I choose the destination for my vehicle?
You can request a suitable repair facility, home or other receiving location. Confirm the address and receiving access with Nova Towing before booking.
Should I use the request form if I need help right now?
For urgent help, call (587) 330-4066 first. The form prepares an email that you must send; it does not automatically dispatch a truck or confirm a booking.
How is emergency towing different from roadside assistance?
Emergency towing moves a disabled or unsafe vehicle. Roadside assistance may address a battery, tyre, lockout or fuel issue at the location. Describe the problem so the appropriate service can be assessed.
Can I request towing at night?
Nova Towing and Recovery accepts calls 24/7, with dispatch subject to truck and driver availability. Visit the 24 hour towing page for more information about time and availability.
