The Guide
Fredericton's towing companies, profiled.
1. Freddy Tow Co. (Fredericton Towing Company) That's us
We'll state our case plainly and let you judge. Freddy Tow Co. is veteran-owned - founder Noah Starr is a Canadian Forces veteran with a combat tour in Afghanistan - and was voted Best in Towing at the CommunityVotes Fredericton 2025 awards (Platinum) and won a Canadian Choice Award in 2026. The dispatch line answers 24/7, every day of the year, and you talk to a real local person, not a national call centre. We run flatbed light-and-medium-duty, EV and Tesla transport, motorcycle and RV towing, equipment hauling, long-distance runs across the Maritimes - and we're the only operator in the region with an aircraft air-ferry service.
Our operating principle, for what it's worth: if we can't do the job, we'll help you find someone who can - even when there's nothing in it for us. That's how we were raised and it's how we run the company.
2. AA Towing
The second-largest outfit in the area and one of the longest-established, running two bases of operation - one in Hanwell and one in Oromocto - which gives them fast coverage on both sides of the region. AA has a strong community reputation, knowledgeable staff, and - something we genuinely respect - they consistently reinvest in their equipment and keep expanding what they can handle. If we're tied up, they're a solid call from either end of town.
3. Apple Towing
A specialist's specialist. Apple brings deep technical knowledge to jobs other operators would pass on, keeps reasonable availability, and knows the roads around Fredericton as well as anyone in the business. There's decades of hard-won know-how in that operation.
4. JA Towing & Recovery
Friendly crew with a wide assortment of capability - light through heavy wreckers, boat hauling, equipment moves. Part of the Jardine group, they've been serving the Fredericton area a long time and can field equipment for jobs at most scales.
5. 13 Towing
Small but mighty, working the Douglas / Keswick side of the river. We've worked plenty of calls alongside 13 Towing and they pull their weight every time - flatbed work, winch-outs, local and long distance. A one-man-band done right. (And if you know, you know: ask him about the ducks.)
6. Capital Towing & Recovery
The oldest provider in the city, with the experience that comes with that and one of the largest tow yards in the area - which matters if your vehicle needs secure storage after an accident. A fixture of the Fredericton towing scene for a long time.
7. Big Daddy's Towing & Salvage
Towing plus salvage work - if your vehicle's at the end of its road, they handle scrap and salvage removal alongside standard towing calls.
8. Rush Towing
A newer entrant to the Fredericton market with an energetic, growing presence. Still building their local track record.
9. Sunbury Towing
Serving the Sunbury County side, with bilingual French-English service - a real asset in an officially bilingual province, and worth knowing about if French is your first language. They've lent us a hand before, and we don't forget that.
10. Nackawic Towing & Recovery
Based in Nackawic, about 45 minutes west of the city - the right call if you're broken down on the western end of the valley toward Woodstock, where a city-based truck would take twice as long to reach you.
