For accident and collision towing in Regina, Regina Signature Towing & Recovery clears crashed cars, SUVs and pickups off the road, loads them carefully and takes them to the body shop, yard or driveway you choose, day or night.
After a collision the first job is safety: get everyone out of traffic and call 911 if anyone is hurt. The second job is the vehicle. Collision recovery means clearing a crashed car from the scene without making the damage worse, then moving it to a place where it can be inspected.
We carry cones, lights, brooms for glass and the straps, dollies and winches that a wrecked car needs. If the vehicle is on its roof or wedged against a barrier, we can use air cushion recovery, which lifts it with inflatable bags instead of chains. Once it is loaded, you choose where it goes.
Get to safety first. If the car can move, pull it to the shoulder or a side street, turn on your hazard lights and stay out of traffic. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked. Take photos of the cars, the plates and the scene before anything gets moved.
In our experience, a call after a crash is 10 minutes of shock and 20 of paperwork. We stay for all 30 minutes so you are not alone on the shoulder.
Then call us for the tow, and report the crash to SGI, the province's auto insurer, on the same day. Police sometimes direct where a car goes after a crash, so tell the dispatcher if an officer asked for a specific yard. If nothing was ordered, you choose, and a body shop of your own is usually the smart pick.

Where Crashes Happen in Regina
Rear-end collisions bunch up on Victoria Avenue and Albert Street at rush hour. Winter slide-offs cluster on the Regina Bypass and Highway 11, where a ground blizzard can cut visibility to nothing. Spring brings potholes and black ice, and summer hail storms bring cars with smashed glass that still run. We have towed from all of them.
What to Collect Before the Tow Truck Leaves
Photos of every vehicle, the plates and the road
The other driver's name, phone number and insurance details
The police report number, if police attended
Your registration and insurance papers from the glove box
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accident Towing FAQs
Who should I call first after a car accident in Regina?
Call 911 if anyone is hurt or traffic is blocked. After that, call a tow truck if the car cannot be driven, then report the crash to SGI the same day. If police attend, tell the dispatcher whether they ordered a specific yard for the vehicle.
Can I choose where my car is towed after a crash?
Usually yes. If police have not ordered a specific yard, you pick the destination, and most people pick their own body shop or home. Tell the dispatcher the address and we confirm it with you before the truck leaves the scene.
What is air cushion recovery?
Air cushion recovery uses inflatable bags to lift a rolled or wedged vehicle without chains or a hard pull. It spreads the lift across the body so the frame and glass take less strain. We use it for rollovers and tight spots where a normal winch could add damage.
How much does an accident tow cost in Regina?
A basic flatbed tow of a drivable-size car inside the city runs about $102 to $105 plus GST. Recoveries from ditches or tight spots start around $200. We quote the number on the phone once we know what we are lifting.
Will you wait with me until my ride arrives?
Yes, we will not leave you on the shoulder. If the driver has to load and go, he will make sure you have a safe place to wait first and stays until the vehicle is secured. Tell the dispatcher if you need a ride, so we plan it.
Waiting for a Tow? Stay Safe Out There
Turn on your hazard lights, stay well off the road and keep everyone out of the vehicle if you are on a highway shoulder. In Saskatchewan, drivers must slow to 60 km/h when they pass a tow truck stopped with its lights flashing, so give our driver the same room.
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.
