What Makes a Towing Service Professional?

Things to Look for Before You Call

When your car breaks down or an accident leaves you stranded, the last thing you want is an unreliable towing company showing up hours late, or worse, causing damage. Choosing a professional towing service can make the difference between stress and peace of mind.

At A-1 Towing Inc., we believe a trusted professional towing company is more than just showing up. It’s about showing up prepared, trained, certified, and insured.

Here are the key things to look for before you call any towing company.

1. Training and Certification

A professional towing service starts with professional people. Certified operators know how to secure vehicles safely, handle roadside hazards, and use equipment correctly.

According to the AMTA (Alberta Motor Transport Association), certified training reduces the risk of secondary accidents and vehicle damage.

Every A-1 Towing Inc. driver is fully trained, drug-tested, background-checked, and certified to handle Light-Duty, Medium-Duty, and Heavy-Duty towing. That means no guesswork—just safe, skilled service from professionals who know what they’re doing.

2. 24/7 Availability and Quick Response Times

Emergencies don’t wait for business hours. A professional towing company operates around the clock because car trouble can strike anywhere.

According to Alberta Transportation, stranded vehicles and roadside incidents pose a safety risk to both drivers and responders, making timely assistance critical.

That’s why A-1 Towing Inc. provides 24/7 towing and recovery services across the city of Calgary, the province of Alberta, and beyond.

When you call, real people answer the phone. Our dispatchers coordinate quickly to get the nearest driver on the road so you can get back to safety as soon as possible.

3. Licensed and Insured Protection

A hallmark of professional towing is full compliance with all local and provincial regulations. In Alberta, the Alberta Provincial Government Transport Division oversees the licensing and regulation of towing operators, ensuring every service meets strict safety, insurance, and operational standards.

A-1 Towing Inc. proudly meets and exceeds these requirements. We are fully licensed and insured, providing peace of mind that your vehicle is protected from pick-up to drop-off.

4. Proven Reputation and Local Expertise

A true professional towing company is defined by its reputation. Google reviews, word of mouth, and years of dependable service tell you more than any slogan ever could.
