Towing in Pilot Butte, SK: Highway 46 and the Bypass
For towing in Pilot Butte, SK, Regina Signature Towing & Recovery sends a flatbed or heavy duty truck from Regina via the Pilot Butte Access Road, any hour, with the price quoted first and a driver who knows the new interchange.
Pilot Butte had 2,638 people in 2021, up from 2,137 five years before, which made it the fastest-growing population centre in Saskatchewan from 2016 to 2021. New homes mean new drivers, and our calls reflect it: first-winter battery failures, new-car warning lights and trailers parked a little too close to the curb.
A first Saskatchewan winter is a lot. Block heaters, plug-ins and a battery that starts fine until minus 25 are things you learn once. Plug in the car when it drops below minus 20 and test an older battery before the freeze.
If it is too late, call us. Quick fix, usually. We boost at your driveway and can tell you whether the battery is truly dead, so you do not buy the wrong one and end up stranded again two days later.
Pilot Butte sits just northeast of Regina. A tow from here is outside the city limits, so it carries a hook-up fee and a distance charge instead of the flat city price. Typical jobs run like this:

Tell us the length and load
Trust us on the sandy shoulders. We have pulled 9 vehicles out of them since fall, and our driver carries 2 extra anchor straps for the job. Sand is sneaky. A wheel that looks barely off the pavement can be buried to the axle by the time the driver steps out and walks the line to see how deep it is.
What Makes Pilot Butte Different
The Sand Capital of Canada
Pilot Butte calls itself the Sand Capital of Canada, and the soft ground matters when a wheel slips off the pavement. A truck that would hold on gravel can sink to the axle in sand. We carry extra cable and a second anchor point for these pulls.
The Access Road Interchange
The Pilot Butte Access Road, Highway 362, joins the Regina Bypass through a diverging diamond interchange that opened in March 2018, the first in Saskatchewan. Traffic crosses to the left side of the road for a stretch, which confuses drivers who have never used one and sometimes leads to fender benders.
Summer Rodeo and Trailer Traffic
An annual rodeo has run every summer since 1993, and horse trailers share the roads with cars. A trailer with a failed brake or a flat needs a heavy tow, not a car truck. Tell the dispatcher what you pull and how long it is.
Using the Diverging Diamond Interchange
Traffic at the Highway 362 interchange crosses to the left for a short stretch, then crosses back. Drivers who stall there should stay in the car with the hazard lights on and call us. We send a truck with a driver who has used the interchange often and who knows where it is safe to park a flatbed and load.

Pilot Butte is just northeast of Regina, so most trucks arrive in about 30 minutes in good weather. Traffic on the Bypass or a storm adds time. The dispatcher gives you a practical estimate when you call, and a live map pin helps.
Can you pull a car out of the sand near Pilot Butte?
Yes. Sand is softer than gravel, so we carry extra cable and a second anchor. Send a map pin and tell us how deep the car is sunk. Simple pulls start around $200, and tougher ones are priced on the phone.
Do you tow horse trailers?
Yes, with a heavy duty truck when the trailer is long or loaded. Tell the dispatcher the trailer length, whether animals are inside and where you are. We will plan the safest way to move it and keep the animals calm.
What does a tow from Pilot Butte to Regina cost?

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.
