No one ever plans to get their car towed after an accident, but understanding how the process works before it happens can save you a lot of stress. There’s no Hollywood action scene involved, just a skilled, well-equipped team that knows exactly what to do. Whether you’re in Montreal, Laval, or Longueuil, Remorquage Top Speed delivers fast, safe, and professional towing services around the clock. Here’s what really happens during a towing operation, so you’ll know what to expect if the unexpected ever occurs.
Step 1: The Emergency Call, Contact Remorquage Top Speed
An accident can happen anywhere: near Montreal’s busy Jacques-Cartier Bridge or along the always-packed Décarie Expressway; in Laval on Highway 440 or Levesque Boulevard, both known for frequent collisions; or even in Longueuil, around Saint-Charles Street or the Montreal Bridge.
The first and most important step is safety. Ensure that you and anyone else involved are out of harm’s way. Then, contact Remorquage Top Speed right away. Our dispatch team will assess your situation, ask a few key questions about your vehicle and location, and dispatch the most suitable tow truck for your needs promptly.
Step 2: On-Site Assessment and Vehicle Securing
Once our technician arrives, the priority is safety. The scene is evaluated to identify risks such as leaking fluids, unstable traffic flow, or damaged vehicle parts. Our professionals secure the area using cones, lights, or safety barriers when necessary to prevent further incidents.
After that, your vehicle is carefully inspected to determine the best towing approach. This step ensures both the safety of everyone present and the proper preparation of your vehicle for transport. Every minute spent here is about making sure the rest of the process goes smoothly and safely.
Step 3: Choosing the Right Type of Towing
Not all vehicles or accidents are the same, which is why Remorquage Top Speed operates a diverse fleet of tow trucks. We offer:
Emergency towing with roadside assistance for any vehicle.
Medium-duty towing for commercial vehicles, RVs, or small trucks.
Heavy-duty towing for transport trucks, construction machinery, or oversized equipment.
Depending on your vehicle’s weight, condition, and the type of accident, our technician will choose the safest and most efficient towing method, whether that’s using a flatbed, hook and chain, or winch system. The goal is always to minimize damage and ensure stability throughout the operation.
Step 4: Loading and Securing the Vehicle
Precision matters here. Your vehicle is carefully loaded onto the tow truck using advanced equipment that prevents additional damage. Our team utilizes heavy-duty straps, hydraulic lifts, and locking mechanisms to position the vehicle securely. Every attachment is checked and double-checked before departure.
At Remorquage Top Speed, we treat every vehicle, whether it’s a compact car or a transport truck, as if it were our own. That’s why our clients trust us for careful, damage-free towing every time.
Step 5: Safe Transport to Your Desired Location
Once your vehicle is safely loaded, it’s transported to the location you specify, whether that’s a repair shop, dealership, or secure storage yard. Because our drivers know Montreal, Laval, and Longueuil like the back of their hand, they take the most efficient routes and avoid heavily congested areas whenever possible.
