Or anyone has a trailer?:D

or you could spend $100 and get CAA

if your car is "broken" then they'll tow you up to 160 KM to any location .

but they're not a towing service, so don't phone and ask them . what you need to do is buy the CAA . then within a week you can have the car towed ..

for $100 you get 5 free incident aids per year (battery, gas, tow up to 160 km, tires, etc)

you don't have to wait any time for CAA, you can sign up right away and in the same phone call tell them you need your vehicle towed from point A to point B and it will be under your $100 membership fee.

Make sure you get the premium membership though. The regular one only gives you 5km.

haha when I had AMA, I used up all 5 of my free 160km tows. Once I got towed from Edmonton to Red Deer, then Red Deer to Calgary...heee.

way to almost get this guy banned from CAA for life. CAA has a minimal tow distance of ~5km for the first 24 hours . ask me how i know .

how did that happen? They won't pick your car up at the same location it was dropped off at . you must have pushed it down the street?

unless this was a long time ago . the computer keeps track of your activity and prevents the person on the phone to even dispatch a truck if flagged.
