Towing and Roadside Assistance in Abbotsford, BC
Abbotsford sits at the eastern end of OpenAer's service area, and it is a city where a lot of driving happens on the highway and on long rural roads rather than in dense streets. That tends to mean longer distances between you and help when something goes wrong.
What we can help with
- Car lockouts — keys shut inside the vehicle
- Jump starts and battery boosts — the car will not turn over
- Flat tire changes — spare fitted at the roadside
- Emergency fuel delivery — enough to reach a station
- Winching and recovery — stuck in a ditch, mud or snow
- Heavy duty towing — trucks, buses, RVs and equipment
- Light duty towing for cars, vans and pickups — see all services
Around Abbotsford
The Highway 1 corridor and Sumas Way carry most of the traffic, with Clearbrook, the airport and the agricultural roads to the south making up much of the rest. On rural roads, give the dispatcher a road name and the nearest intersection, and stay with the vehicle only if it is safe to do so.
Because Abbotsford is at the far edge of the coverage area, travel time can be longer than for a call in Surrey. The dispatcher will give you an honest estimate on the phone rather than an optimistic one.
Why people here call OpenAer
- Open around the clock — dispatch answers 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
- Based in Surrey — 8130 136A St, not a national call centre routing your call elsewhere.
- English, Punjabi and Hindi — explain the problem in whichever language is easiest.

Call (778) 878-7771Frequently asked questions
Do you actually cover Abbotsford, or just Surrey?
Abbotsford is inside the regular service area, alongside Surrey, Delta, Langley, Abbotsford and White Rock. Calls are taken 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
How quickly can someone reach me in Abbotsford?
It depends on where exactly you are and how busy the night is. You will be given an honest estimate on the phone before anyone is dispatched, rather than a number designed to keep you on the line.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the service, your location and the vehicle. Call (778) 878-7771 and you are told the price before a truck is sent, so there are no surprises at the roadside.
Are you open at night and on holidays?
Yes. Dispatch is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
What should I have ready when I call?
Where you are, ideally a road name plus the nearest cross street or landmark; what you drive; what has happened; and whether the vehicle is blocking traffic or anyone is hurt. If anyone is injured, call 911 first.
