Toyota Roadside Assistance at Gateway Toyota

Driving in Edmonton is an adventure. Between the sudden -30ยฐC cold snaps that drain batteries overnight and the unpredictable slush of a spring "second winter," being a Toyota owner in Northern Alberta comes with unique challenges. At Gateway Toyota, we believe your relationship with your vehicle shouldn't end when you drive off the lot. Thatโ€™s why Toyotaโ€™s comprehensive Roadside Assistance is designed to keep you moving, whether youโ€™re commuting down the Anthony Henday or heading out for a weekend in the Rockies.

Built for the Alberta Climate

We all know the feeling of clicking the ignition on a frosty February morning only to hear... nothing. Battery failure is one of the most common issues Edmontonians face. With your new Toyota, a battery boost is just a phone call away. If a boost doesnโ€™t do the trick and your vehicle fails to start, we donโ€™t leave you stranded in the cold; we provide a tow to get your vehicle the professional attention it needs.

Flat Tires and Lockout Emergencies

Pothole season in Edmonton is practically a local holiday. If a rogue crater on Yellowhead Trail claims your tire, you don't need to worry about bracing the wind to change it yourself. Our service includes a free spare tire installation.

And for those "oops" moments, like realizing your keys are sitting on the driver's seat while youโ€™re standing outside your locked RAV4 at West Edmonton Mall, our lockout service ensures you get back inside quickly and without damage to your vehicle.

Fuel Delivery and Winching

The stretches of highway between Edmonton and Red Deer or Fort McMurray can be long. If your "low fuel" light wins the battle of nerves, Toyota Roadside Assistance provides up to 5 Liters of fuel or a tow to the nearest station (including charging stations for our bZ4X and Prime plug-in hybrid owners).

Furthermore, Alberta weather can be treacherous. If a sudden blizzard lands you in a ditch or the spring thaw leaves you stuck in the mud, our winch service is available to pull you back to solid ground.

Towing You Can Trust

If your Toyota requires more than a quick fix, we prioritize your convenience. We offer towing to your preferred Toyota dealership, like Gateway Toyota, within 50 kilometers. If youโ€™re further afield, we will tow your vehicle to the nearest Toyota dealership or authorized accident reporting center within a 300-kilometer radius.

At Gateway Toyota, we aren't just selling cars; weโ€™re providing the security that youโ€™re never truly alone on the road.
