Breakdown on Country Hills Boulevard in north Calgary? What to tell dispatch, safety tips and tow vs. roadside help. Dave's Towing 24/7: 403-272-3944.
Country Hills Boulevard is a main east-west route across north Calgary. It connects growing communities like Country Hills, Harvest Hills, Coventry Hills, Panorama Hills, Hidden Valley, Kincora and Sherwood with Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail and the airport area. It carries a lot of residential traffic and has big-box shopping centres, schools and recreation facilities along the way. Wide lanes and fast traffic between the lights mean a breakdown here needs to be handled with care.
Dave's Towing Services has towed vehicles across Calgary since 1992, and we're open 24/7. Here's what to do if you have car trouble on Country Hills Boulevard.
If the vehicle still moves, pull onto a side street or into a shopping centre lot. Country Hills Boulevard has several commercial areas where you can stop away from traffic.
Turn on your hazard lights. In winter, north Calgary can get blowing snow on open stretches, so keep your lights on even during the day.
If anyone is injured or the vehicle is a danger to traffic, call 911 first. For towing or roadside help, call Dave's Towing at 403-272-3944.
Many north Calgary homes have driveways and parking pads with no garage. Vehicles that sit outside overnight in a cold snap often won't start. A battery boost usually solves it. If it doesn't, we can tow the vehicle to your mechanic.
New construction areas often have nails and debris on the roads. If you have a usable spare, we'll change it. If the wheel is damaged, we'll tow the vehicle on a flatbed.
For fender-benders around the shopping areas and the Deerfoot or Stoney interchanges, our accident towing service can move your vehicle to the body shop you choose.
If you've slid into a median or a snow-filled ditch near the edge of the city, our winching and ditch recovery can get you back on the road.
We're regularly in Country Hills, Country Hills Village, Harvest Hills, Coventry Hills, Panorama Hills, Hidden Valley, Kincora and Sherwood. Recent work in the area includes a Kia Sorento tow in Coventry Hills and a GMC Sierra tow in Panorama Hills. North of the city, we also cover Airdrie and Balzac. See NW Calgary and NE Calgary for more.
North Calgary's newer communities sit on higher, open ground. Wind can blow snow across Country Hills Boulevard and the nearby collector roads, and visibility drops quickly in a storm. Slow down on overpasses and ramps, which ice up first. Keep a winter kit in your vehicle: a blanket, gloves, a scraper, a small shovel, a phone charger and some snacks. If your vehicle gets stuck in a snowbank, don't keep spinning the wheels. That can overheat the transmission and dig you in deeper. Call us for a winch-out instead.
Yes. Give us your address and tell us where the vehicle is parked. If it's in a garage, tell us whether it's front-in or back-in.
Yes. We serve Airdrie, Balzac and other communities around Calgary.
No. Long cranking can damage the starter and drain the battery further. Call for a boost.
Yes, every day of the year.
