Gloucester Towing serves the Ottawa-Gatineau area from our base at 1980 Ogilvie Road in Gloucester. We cover a wide range of neighbourhoods across Ottawa, from the east end communities closest to our dispatch point to west-end areas like Westboro, and south to Riverside South. Every service we offer is available across our full coverage area, around the clock, seven days a week.
Our east Ottawa location puts us closest to Gloucester, Orleans, Vanier, and St. Laurent, giving those communities some of the shortest response times in the city. We also serve Centretown, South Keys, Riverside South, and Westboro as part of our full Ottawa-Gatineau area coverage. If you are unsure whether your location is within our range, call us and ask, we will give you a direct answer and a realistic arrival estimate rather than a vague maybe.
We dispatch from a single base at 1980 Ogilvie Road in Gloucester. Every call goes through the same dispatch process regardless of where in the Ottawa-Gatineau area it originates, you call, we confirm your location, we give you a realistic arrival estimate, and we roll. Response times vary by distance from our base, and we tell you the honest number rather than the optimistic one.
Our coverage is strongest in the east end of Ottawa, where proximity to our base keeps response times low. For areas further from our base, Westboro to the west, Riverside South to the south, we still respond, and we are transparent about what the travel time looks like so you can make an informed decision when you call.
Service Areas, Frequently Asked Questions
We cover the Ottawa-Gatineau area with specific neighbourhood pages for Gloucester, Orleans, Vanier, St. Laurent, Riverside South, Centretown, South Keys, and Westboro. Beyond these named areas, we serve the broader Ottawa area on a call-by-call basis. If your location is not listed, call us and we will confirm whether we can reach you and how long it will take.
Our primary coverage is on the Ontario side of the river across the Ottawa-Gatineau area. For calls in Gatineau, call us and describe your location, we handle cross-river calls on a case-by-case basis depending on the situation and distance. We will tell you directly whether we can reach you and what the realistic timeline looks like before you commit to waiting.
For local towing within the Ottawa-Gatineau area, our coverage reaches across the city. For long distance towing calls, Kingston, Toronto, Montreal, and beyond, we handle those as dedicated long-haul jobs rather than local dispatches. There is no firm cutoff on distance for long distance jobs; call us and describe where the vehicle needs to go and we will work out the logistics and cost with you directly.
No. We do not apply a neighbourhood surcharge or zone premium. Pricing is based on the service type and the specifics of the job, not on whether you are in Gloucester or Westboro. The only distance factor that affects cost is the length of the tow itself if the vehicle needs to be transported a significant distance. We confirm the expected cost before dispatching so you know what to expect before the truck rolls.
Call us at (613) 662-6262 and give us your address. We will tell you immediately whether we serve your location and what the estimated arrival time is. There is no online coverage map that accounts for real-time dispatch position, traffic, and available trucks, a direct call gives you the accurate answer in under a minute rather than a general estimate based on a drawn boundary.
For rural calls just outside the urban boundary, areas like Navan, Metcalfe, or Greely, call us and describe your location. We handle rural calls selectively depending on distance and the nature of the job. Long distance towing from rural locations is also possible as a dedicated job. We will give you a direct answer when you call rather than a blanket yes or no that does not account for your specific situation.
