Towing in White City, SK: Tow Truck and Roadside Help
For towing in White City, SK, Regina Signature Towing & Recovery sends a flatbed or heavy duty truck from Regina along the Trans-Canada Highway, 24 hours a day, with the price quoted on the phone before the driver leaves.
White City sits where Highway 48 meets the Trans-Canada Highway, and most of its residents drive into Regina every day. That means a lot of our calls here are the same few things: a car that will not start in a driveway before work, a breakdown on the highway on the way in, and a vehicle that needs a ride to a Regina shop.
Greenall School in Balgonie takes White City's high school students on a bus about ten minutes northeast, and the younger grades go to local schools. When the temperature drops, a dead battery on the family car can wreck the whole morning.
Call us early and send the driveway address. We boost at the curb, or tow the car to a shop in Regina while the kids get to school another way.
White City is a short drive east of Regina, but it sits outside the city limits, so towing here is priced with a hook-up fee plus a per-kilometre charge instead of a flat city price. Here is what the typical jobs look like:

Roads and Weather Around White City
Highway 1 and Highway 48
Highway 1 is wide and fast here, with a long shoulder in places and none in others. A car stopped near the Highway 48 junction is easy for us to find if you send a pin, since there are few landmarks on an open prairie. Please do not stand behind the vehicle on the shoulder.
Prairie Wind and Ground Blizzards
The land is flat and the wind is steady, so a little snow can turn into a ground blizzard quickly. Visibility drops to a few car lengths and slide-offs follow. If you end up in the ditch, read our winch out page and send us a map pin.
When Highway 1 Closes Near White City
A ground blizzard or a bad crash can close the Trans-Canada Highway outside town for hours. We check the Highway Hotline before a truck leaves, and if the road is shut we plan a detour through Pilot Butte or the Bypass. Stay put with your hazard lights on, keep the engine running only if the exhaust is clear of snow, and wait for our driver to set out cones before you step out.
Who We Tow For in White City
Commuters whose cars will not start in the driveway
Families with all-wheel-drive vehicles that need a gentle load
Acreage owners with trailers, quads and old vehicles to move
Drivers stranded on the Trans-Canada Highway outside town
We also serve Emerald Park, just a few minutes west along the same highway. It uses the same dispatch line and the same price quote process.
White City is about 20 kilometres east of Regina on the Trans-Canada, so most calls reach it in roughly 30 to 40 minutes in good weather. Storms and closed highways take longer, and the dispatcher gives you a real estimate when you call.
Do you tow cars from White City to Regina shops?
Yes. Many White City drivers have a Regina dealer or repair shop, and we tow there regularly. Tell the dispatcher the shop name and address, and ask whether it is open, so the drop-off does not leave you waiting outside.
Can you boost my battery at home in White City?
Yes. A boost at your driveway usually costs about $65 to $75 plus GST. The driver tests the battery and tells you if it needs replacing. If the car will not start after the boost, we tow it to your shop.
Do you service the acreages around White City?
Yes, if we can reach the property. Send an address or a map pin, tell us what vehicle you have and whether the ground is firm. Gravel approaches in spring can be soft, and the dispatcher will say if we need a different truck.

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.
