Regina breakdowns do not wait for office hours, so neither do we. Dispatch answers at 3 a.m. and on stat holidays, and with a January low around minus 20, the cold nights are when our phones ring most. Honestly, our dispatcher took 640 calls between December and February last winter.
Light, Medium and Heavy Duty on One Phone Line
A hatchback in a parking lot and a loaded dump truck on the Bypass are different jobs. We run 5 trucks, from flatbeds to a heavy wrecker, so you make one call and get the right size. We've seen both jobs land on the same morning.
A Price Before the Truck Leaves
We quote the hook-up and the distance on the phone, add 5% GST, and stick to it. We think a price should be said out loud. If the job turns out harder than described, the driver tells you before he changes anything.
Drivers Who Know Regina's Roads
Our crew knows which exits on the Regina Bypass ice over first, where the wind on Victoria Avenue never lets up, and how to reach a grid road past Lumsden when all you can send is a pin.
About Us
Regina Signature Towing & Recovery answers the phone day and night and sends the right truck the first time: a flatbed for a car, a wrecker for a loaded semi, a winch for the ditch. We also boost dead batteries, change flat tires and haul away cars that are done running.
You get the price on the phone before the truck leaves. Our drivers are licensed and insured, they tie your vehicle down the way its maker wants it moved, and they drop it at your shop or your driveway. That is the whole job, and we try to make it boring.
A tow inside Regina usually costs $82 to $105 plus GST, going by the 2026 rates Regina towing companies publish. Expect the low end for a wheel-lift tow and the high end for a flatbed. Beyond the city add about $3.25 per kilometre plus a hook-up fee. Here is the typical range for each job:
Ranges come from published Regina rates and are not a quote. Ours comes by phone, in dollars, before we roll. For the full breakdown, read our towing cost guide.
Most of our calls fall into the same handful of jams. Every time we compare notes, it is the same nine problems. If yours is on the list, you are in the right place.
01
A Dead Battery That Will Not Boost
A battery that clicks but will not turn the engine over usually needs a boost, and at minus 25 it often needs a tow too. The cold-cranking amps number on a battery tells you how well it copes. See our roadside assistance service.
02
A Slide-Off Into the Ditch
One wheel past the edge of a grid road is a two minute job for a winch and a long afternoon for a pickup. Read about winch out recovery.
03
A Fender Bender or a Bigger Collision
If the car cannot be driven, call a tow before you call anyone else, then call SGI. We clear it fast. See accident and collision towing.
04
A Flat Tire and No Good Spare
A shredded tire on Highway 1 is no place to jack up a car, especially with potholes and black ice around in spring. We swap on your spare or tow you to a shop. See flat tire change.
05
A Breakdown on Highway 1 or the Bypass
Overheated, out of power or stuck in limp mode, a car on the Regina Bypass or the Trans-Canada Highway needs a flatbed and a driver who knows traffic. Call a flatbed tow truck.
06
A Stalled Semi, Bus or Motorhome
Loaded trucks, coaches and RVs need a wrecker with real pulling power and a driver who weighs the job first. See heavy duty towing.
07
An AWD or Low Car That Cannot Be Dragged
All-wheel-drive cars and low sports cars should ride with all four wheels up, which means a flatbed every time. Details on flatbed towing.
08
A Long Haul Out of Town
Moving a car to Saskatoon, Winnipeg or a buyer in Moose Jaw is a per-kilometre job. We quote it by phone. See long distance towing.
09
A Junk Car Taking Up Your Driveway
An old car that no longer runs can leave for free in many cases, and we handle the lift. See junk car removal.
Slid into the ditch on a grid road past Lumsden in the first snow. The driver found us off a text pin, hooked on and had the truck back on the gravel in about fifteen minutes. No lecture, just a pull and a thumbs up.
Brenda T.Lumsden
Flatbed towing
My Subaru is all-wheel drive and the first company I called wanted to drag it on two wheels. These guys brought a flatbed without me asking. Price was exactly what the dispatcher said on the phone.
Kyle D.White City
Accident towing
Fender bender on Victoria Avenue at rush hour. They cleared the car off the road quickly, took it to my body shop, and the driver waited with me until my ride showed up.
Priya S.Regina
Medium duty towing
Our delivery van quit at 5 a.m. with a full load. A medium duty truck was there before the shop opened and we lost one morning, not the whole day.
Marcel L.Emerald Park
Battery boost
Dead battery at minus 29 in a grocery store lot. The boost took ten minutes and the driver told me my battery was on its last legs, which saved me a second call.
Janelle W.Regina
Junk car removal
Hauled an old Buick off our acreage that had sat since my dad passed. Free pickup, no paperwork headaches, and the driver carried the plates in for me. It was a relief.

The tire let go on the shoulder with the trailer still hooked. We lifted the steer axle and towed the whole unit to a shop, so the driver did not have to unhook.
A word from the owner
A Tow Should Be Boring
“After nineteen years behind a wheel I have one rule: the best tow is the one you barely remember. We show up, tell you the price, load it right and go. If you are telling stories about it later, something went wrong.”
Terry Wasyliw
Owner, Regina Signature Towing & Recovery
Terry spent his early years pulling stuck farm trucks out of sloughs and grid-road ditches before moving to tow trucks in the city, and he has driven for 19 years now. On a recent job he sat with a driver for an hour in the cold, because we do not leave people alone. He still takes night calls himself when a driver is off.
Towing in Regina FAQs
How much does towing cost in Regina?
Inside the city, a tow usually costs about $82 to $105, based on published Regina rates for 2026. Wheel-lift trucks sit at the low end and flatbeds at the high end. Add 5% GST. Tows beyond the city add about $3.25 per kilometre, and we quote your exact price by phone.
How fast can a tow truck get to me in Regina?
In good weather, most city calls we take reach the scene in about 28 minutes, and we answer around the clock. A storm, a closed highway or a call far outside the city adds time. Your dispatcher gives you a real estimate when you call, not a promise.
Do you tow all-wheel-drive and low cars?
Yes, on a flatbed. A flatbed carries the whole vehicle with all four wheels off the road, which protects all-wheel-drive drivetrains and low bumpers. Tell the dispatcher what you drive and we send the right truck instead of the closest one.
What is the difference between a flatbed and a wheel-lift tow?
A wheel-lift hooks under the front or back wheels and lifts two of them off the road. A flatbed slides the whole vehicle onto a flat deck. Wheel-lift costs a little less and suits many front-drive cars, while a flatbed suits everything else.
Can you tow a semi, bus or motorhome in Regina?
Yes. We run heavy duty wreckers for semis, buses, dump trucks and RVs, and the driver checks weight, load and axle count before connecting. Call with the vehicle type and whether it is loaded so we can send the correct truck.
What should I do while I wait for a tow truck?
Turn on your hazard lights, move everyone well away from traffic and stay out of the vehicle on a highway shoulder. Send your exact location, a nearby landmark or a map pin. Keep your keys and registration handy so loading goes quickly.
Do you help with a boost, a flat tire or a lockout?
Yes. Our drivers boost dead batteries and put on spare tires, and they can tow you to a shop if the fix is bigger than a roadside job. Ask about lockouts when you call. Roadside calls usually cost less than a tow.
Will you tow me outside Regina?
Yes. We tow to White City, Lumsden, Moose Jaw and farther. Tows beyond the city limits are priced by the kilometre on top of a hook-up fee, and we give you the full number on the phone. Longer hauls to Saskatoon or Winnipeg are quoted the same way.
What should I do if I break down on the Regina Bypass or Highway 1?
Turn on your hazard lights, pull as far onto the shoulder as you safely can and stay in the car with your belt on if traffic is heavy. Call us with your exit or kilometre marker. On a ground blizzard day, check the Highway Hotline first, since a closed road changes our route.
Why does my car battery die so fast in a Regina winter?
Cold thins the oil and drains a battery, and Regina's average January low is minus 20 degrees. A weak battery can fail the first minus 25 morning. A block heater helps the engine turn over, and we can boost you or tell you if the battery has simply reached the end.
Can someone else meet the tow truck for me?
Yes, if you tell the dispatcher who is coming. Whoever meets the driver needs the keys, and the vehicle's registration helps. We confirm the drop-off address with you before the truck leaves, so a repair shop or a family member can take it.
Waiting for a Tow? Stay Safe Out There
Turn on your hazard lights, stay well off the road and keep everyone out of the vehicle if you are on a highway shoulder. In Saskatchewan, drivers must slow to 60 km/h when they pass a tow truck stopped with its lights flashing, so give our driver the same room.
A Tow Should Be the Boring Part of Your Day
Regina Signature Towing & Recovery is a small crew that answers at 3 a.m. the same way it answers at noon. We tell you the price first, load your vehicle the way the manufacturer wants it moved, and drop it where you say. Send your location or call and a driver is on the way.
