they are all pretty much expensive, i'll have to check my business cards, but i think i know some indian dude, who might tow it for you for around $40, i remember us having to take my impala from shoppers world area to downtow lakeshore and its cost us $40 or $50, but since then we have CCA its free for us now.lol

if you can get me that number, that would be great. i have CAA, BUT, i just bought the car and there are no plates on it, and caa doesnt tow without valid plates. i would put some old ones from my other car, but last time i did that, they checked my ownership and wouldnt tow me.

unless that was 5 years agi when gas prices were 60 cents a liter

caa... i towed one of my cars from sauga to woodbridge with old plates that i threw on when the guy came. he didn't care and was cool about it as long as something was hanging off the back. just call them and give them the plate number to your old car and when they show up make sure it's on. if the guys checks your ownership, tell him you don't have the it cause it's with your buddy and your just doing him a favour. doesn't matter who owns the car as long as your their with your member card. I even towed my father inlaws truck from woodbridge to barrie no questions asked.

shouldn't be an issue
