Expert advice from Uplift Towing's team to keep you safe on the road.
Check every door and the trunk, then try your vehicle's phone app before you call anyone. Skip the coat hanger, it tears seals and scratches paint. A mobile unlock in Ottawa runs about $60 to $120. If a child or pet is locked in a hot car, call 911 first, not a locksmith.
When it's 30°C and you're stuck on the 417, engines overheat fast. Turn off the A/C, turn the heater to full hot, pull over and shut the engine off, and never open a hot radiator cap. Don't risk driving on an overheated engine, a flatbed tow costs far less than a blown head gasket.
Pull over safely, turn on hazard lights, and call for help. Whether it's a dead battery on Bank Street or a flat tire on the 174, Uplift Towing responds fast, typically within 20 minutes across Ottawa and surrounding areas.
Many Ontario drivers don't realize their auto insurance may include roadside assistance or towing reimbursement. Check your policy for DCPD or endorsement coverage. Call Uplift Towing first and sort your claim after.
