Towing in Balgonie, SK: Five Highways, One Phone Number
For towing in Balgonie, SK, Regina Signature Towing & Recovery drives a flatbed or heavy duty truck about 25 kilometres east from Regina on the Trans-Canada, any hour, with the price quoted on the phone before we leave.
Balgonie, population 1,756 in 2021, sits at the meeting point of Highway 1, Highway 10, Highway 46, Highway 364 and Highway 622. That crossing means a mix of drivers: commuters, farm trucks, school buses and long-haul traffic. Our calls match, from small breakdowns to loaded units.
If you are driving through, a breakdown near Balgonie is a long way from a Regina shop. We tow back to Regina or on to a shop in the next town, whichever suits your plans.
Give us the highway marker, the direction you were heading and what the car is doing. That is all. The more detail on the phone, the faster the right truck is on the way, because the dispatcher can match a truck to the job instead of guessing.
Balgonie is about 25 kilometres east of Regina, so a tow from here carries a hook-up fee plus kilometres beyond the city limits at about $3.25 each. Typical jobs:

On a recent job near Balgonie we hauled a grain trailer 25 kilometres to a yard. Our crew likes the Highway 10 shortcut, which saves about 10 minutes. That is a quick one. Then there are the nights when the wind has drifted the grid road shut and the same trip takes most of an hour and a half, with the winch truck working the whole way in.
Roads Around Balgonie
Where Five Highways Meet
Highway 10 links Balgonie straight to the Qu'Appelle Valley, and Highway 46 and the Bypass run west toward Regina. The Regina Bypass finished its first phase, from Balgonie to Highway 33, in October 2017, so Balgonie is effectively the east end of the Bypass. Drivers often get confused about which exit to take, and that is where minor crashes happen.
Grid Roads and Drifts
South and north of town the grid roads are gravel, and in winter the wind builds drifts across them. A pickup that slid into a drift can sit out of sight of the road, which is why a map pin beats any description. Send one. Keep your lights on, and stay with the vehicle if it is cold.
School Buses and Bus Stops
Greenall School in Balgonie takes students from Balgonie, White City and Pilot Butte. If a bus breaks down, we send a heavy duty truck and a driver who knows the vehicle has to move with care and with the kids off first.
Slow Down for the Truck on the Shoulder
In Saskatchewan, drivers must slow to 60 km/h when they pass a tow truck stopped with its lights flashing. On the Trans-Canada outside Balgonie that rule matters, because traffic moves fast and the shoulder is narrow. Our driver parks with the beacon on, sets cones behind us and keeps you on the far side of the vehicle, away from the lane.

Balgonie is about 25 kilometres east of Regina on the Trans-Canada, so a truck takes roughly 30 to 40 minutes in good weather. The dispatcher gives you a realistic time on the phone, especially if there is a storm or a highway closure.
Can you tow a farm truck or trailer from Balgonie?
Yes. We send a heavy duty truck for loaded farm trucks, grain trailers and equipment. Tell us what it is, how much it weighs and whether the brakes release, and we will plan the lift before the truck leaves.
What if I slid off a grid road near Balgonie?
Send a map pin and tell us how the vehicle is sitting. We carry long cable and can pull from the road if we can reach you. Simple ditch pulls start around $200, and deeper ones are priced on the phone.
How much is a tow from Balgonie to Regina?
A flatbed tow from Balgonie to a Regina shop commonly runs $160 to $230 plus GST, depending on the destination. We quote the total on the phone and stick to it unless the job turns out harder than described.

What our customers say
Winch out
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.
