Towing in Qu'Appelle, SK: 50 Kilometres East on Highway 1
For towing in Qu'Appelle, SK, Regina Signature Towing & Recovery drives a flatbed or heavy duty truck about 50 kilometres east from Regina on the Trans-Canada, any hour, with the long-distance price quoted on the phone first.
Qu'Appelle, population 625 in 2021, sits about 50 kilometres east of Regina where Highway 1 meets Highway 35. It was once the CPR terminus and a major distribution centre for the District of Assiniboia. These days a lot of our calls here are long-distance tows for drivers who broke down on the Trans-Canada.
A tow from Qu'Appelle to Regina is priced by the kilometre, and it adds up. Ask the dispatcher for the total before you agree, and ask whether your auto policy or a motor club covers any of the distance.
If your car can be repaired in the next town, ask us to quote that too. A shorter tow sometimes saves more than the repair costs.
Qu'Appelle is the longest of our eastern runs, so the per-kilometre charge matters. Typical jobs:

What Makes Qu'Appelle Different
Highway 1 and Highway 35
Highway 1 runs through town, and Highway 35 heads south to Weyburn and north to Fort Qu'Appelle. Trucks on the Trans-Canada pass by constantly, which is why we send a driver with strong amber lights and a plan for traffic.
The Qu'Appelle Valley
Echo Creek rises just north of town and flows into the valley at Fort Qu'Appelle, whose Fishing Lakes are fed by the Qu'Appelle River. Roads toward the valley have grades and curves that can be slick in winter. We bring chains and extra cable.
Bypassed by Highway 10
Highway 10, opened in 1968, links Balgonie directly to the valley and bypasses Qu'Appelle. Drivers sometimes take the wrong route, run low on fuel and call us from a stretch with no services. We do fuel top-ups in many cases, so ask.
How a Long Tow From Qu'Appelle Is Priced
A tow from Qu'Appelle is a long distance job, so the bill has a hook-up fee, a distance charge near $3.25 per kilometre and 5 percent GST. We give you all three on the phone. We also check the Highway Hotline for closures, because a storm on Highway 1 can double the trip and we would rather tell you the real time than guess.
Who We Tow For in Qu'Appelle

Qu'Appelle is about 50 kilometres east of Regina on the Trans-Canada, so a truck usually arrives in about an hour in good weather. Storms, closures and traffic add time, and the dispatcher gives you a real estimate on the phone.
How much does a tow from Qu'Appelle to Regina cost?
A flatbed tow from Qu'Appelle to a Regina shop commonly runs $260 to $380 plus GST, because most of the distance is priced by the kilometre at about $3.25. We quote the total before the truck leaves.
Can you tow me to a shop in Qu'Appelle instead of Regina?
Yes. If a shop in town or nearby can fix the car, a shorter tow saves money. Tell the dispatcher what the car is doing, and we will help work out whether a nearby shop makes more sense than Regina.
Do you recover vehicles near the Qu'Appelle Valley?
Yes. We carry chains, extra cable and a second anchor for valley grades. Send a map pin and tell us how the vehicle is sitting. Simple pulls start around $200, and deeper or steeper ones are priced on the phone.

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.
Regina Signature Towing & Recovery is a small crew that answers at 3 a.m. the same way it answers at noon. We tell you the price first, load your vehicle the way the manufacturer wants it moved, and drop it where you say. Send your location or call and a driver is on the way.
