FROM THE ROAD
Tips, guides, and stories from ASAP Towing Inc.
Dead battery, flat tire, locked out, or out of gas — here’s exactly what to do for each one.
TOP 4 ROADSIDE EMERGENCIES AND HOW TO HANDLE THEM
DEAD BATTERY
If you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key, your battery is likely dead. Call ASAP Towing Inc. for a quick jump start. We’ll get you going in minutes — or tow you to the nearest shop if the battery needs replacing.
FLAT TIRE
Pull over safely, turn on your hazard lights, and do not attempt to drive on a flat. If you have a spare and know how to change it safely, great. If not — call us. We’ll handle it.
LOCKED OUT OF YOUR CAR
It happens to everyone. Don’t try to force entry — you could damage your vehicle. ASAP Towing Inc. offers lockout service and can get you back in your car quickly and safely.
OUT OF FUEL
Running out of gas is embarrassing but happens. Stay in your vehicle with hazards on and call for help. We can assist with fuel delivery or tow you to the nearest station.
WHATEVER THE EMERGENCY
ASAP Towing Inc. has you covered — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Not all tow companies are honest. Here’s how to tell the difference before you ever need one.
HOW TO CHOOSE A TRUSTWORTHY TOWING COMPANY
1. THEY’RE AVAILABLE 24/7
Breakdowns don’t happen on a schedule. A reliable towing company answers the phone at 2 AM just as quickly as they do at 2 PM. At ASAP Towing Inc., we’re always available — day and night.
2. THEY’RE UPFRONT ABOUT PRICING
Predatory towing companies take advantage of people in vulnerable situations. A trustworthy company gives you a clear quote before they hook up your vehicle — no surprises.
3. THEY HAVE REAL REVIEWS
Check Google reviews before you save a number in your phone. Look for consistent positive feedback about response time, professionalism, and vehicle care.
4. THEIR DRIVERS ARE PROFESSIONAL
A good tow truck driver communicates clearly, handles your vehicle with care, and treats you with respect — especially when you’re stressed. That’s the ASAP Towing Inc. standard.

Winter roads in the GTA are no joke. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe this season.
TOP WINTER DRIVING TIPS TO STAY SAFE
1. KEEP AN EMERGENCY KIT IN YOUR CAR
Pack a winter emergency kit including a blanket, jumper cables, a snow brush, sand or kitty litter for traction, a flashlight, and snacks. You hope you never need it — but you’ll be glad it’s there.
2. CHECK YOUR BATTERY BEFORE WINTER HITS
Cold weather is brutal on car batteries. Get yours tested before the temperature drops. A battery that barely gets you through summer won’t make it through a Canadian winter.
3. USE WINTER TIRES
All-season tires aren’t enough in serious winter conditions. Winter tires provide dramatically better grip on snow and ice, reducing your stopping distance significantly.
4. KNOW WHEN TO CALL A TOW
If your vehicle is stuck, spinning out, or won’t start in the cold — don’t risk making it worse. Call ASAP Towing Inc. We’ll get to you fast and safely recover your vehicle.
