Working in Bradford
What we have learned running this area
The Marsh roads flood and rut in spring. Vehicles get bogged in soft shoulder there more than anywhere else we cover, and it is a recovery job, not a tow job.
Highway 88 between the 400 and Bradford is a known whiteout stretch in an open-field storm. We do not promise short arrival windows on 88 when the wind is up, because we will not make them.
Bradford GO commuters leave cars for 12 hours in an exposed lot. Battery calls there run heavy from December through February.

Questions
Calling us from Bradford
How fast can you get to me?
Our average across all calls is 25 minutes. In Aurora and Newmarket it is usually under 20. In North York or during a snowstorm it can be an hour or more. Dispatch gives you a real window on the call rather than a number designed to stop you phoning someone else.
What does it cost?
You get the full price before a truck is dispatched, and it does not change afterwards. Boosts, lockouts and flat tire changes start at $75. Towing starts at $95 for the hook-up plus distance. Winch-outs start at $125. There is no night, weekend or holiday surcharge.
Do you charge more at night or on holidays?
No. A 3am call on New Year's Day is billed at the same rate as a Tuesday afternoon. Surcharging people at their worst moment is common in this trade and we have chosen not to do it.
Are you actually open 24 hours?
Yes, with a person answering rather than a voicemail box. Trucks run overnight, and overnight is when a large share of our calls come in.
Do you work with insurance or motor club memberships?
We will invoice you directly and give you a detailed receipt that any insurer or motor club will accept for reimbursement. We are not a contracted provider for the clubs, so you pay us and claim it back.
