Disabled vehicle on Blackfoot Trail in SE Calgary? Safety steps, location tips and towing for cars and work trucks. Call Dave's Towing 24/7: 403-272-3944.
Blackfoot Trail runs north and south through central and southeast Calgary. It passes Inglewood and Ramsay, the industrial areas of Alyth-Bonnybrook, Manchester and Burns Industrial, and the neighbourhoods near Kingsland and Fairview. It's a working road. Delivery vans, service trucks, contractors and commuters use it to avoid busier Deerfoot and Macleod. There are industrial driveways, rail crossings nearby, and traffic that can change from light to busy in minutes.
Dave's Towing Services has been towing in Calgary since 1992. We know SE Calgary well, and we answer 24/7. Here's what to do if your vehicle breaks down on Blackfoot Trail.
If the vehicle still rolls, pull onto a side road or into an industrial lot. Don't block a yard entrance or loading bay, because trucks may need to get in and out.
Turn on your hazards. Commercial vehicles turning in and out of yards may not expect a stopped vehicle. If you have to get out, stand well away from the lanes and driveways.
If anyone is injured, fluids are leaking onto the road, or the vehicle is blocking traffic in a dangerous spot, call 911 first. For towing, call Dave's Towing at 403-272-3944.
Many Blackfoot Trail calls are for business vehicles. We tow light- and medium-duty work trucks, cargo vans and service pickups. If your van is loaded with tools or materials, let us know roughly what's on board. It affects how the vehicle is loaded. For companies with several vehicles, see our fleet towing guide and our page on work van and commercial towing.
We work regularly in Inglewood, Ramsay, Alyth-Bonnybrook, Manchester Industrial, Burns Industrial, Kingsland and Fairview. See our SE Calgary towing page for the full area.
Freeze-thaw cycles open up potholes on busy working roads. A hard hit can bend a rim or damage the suspension. If your vehicle pulls to one side or the wheel looks crooked after a hit, see our guide to when a flat tire needs a tow instead of a tire change.
Vehicles parked overnight in open yards feel the full wind chill. If a work truck won't start, a boost usually gets it going. If it keeps happening, have the battery and charging system checked.
Nearby rail crossings and gravel shoulders can be rough on tires. If you stall near a crossing, get everyone out of the vehicle and away from the tracks right away, and call 911.
Yes, as long as someone can give us access. Tell us the gate details and who to contact on site.
