Stuck on the road in Taradale or along McKnight Blvd? Here’s what to do next.
Step 1: Stay Calm and Stay Safe

The first rule when your car breaks down is don’t panic. If possible, pull over to a safe area — ideally a shoulder, parking lot, or residential curb. Turn on your hazard lights immediately so other drivers can see you and give you space.
If you’re on a busy road like McKnight Blvd or 36 Street NE, try to stay inside your vehicle with your seatbelt fastened until it’s safe to exit.
Step 2: Know Where You Are

Being able to give your exact location can make all the difference. Look for signs, nearby buildings, or recognizable landmarks such as:
- Sunridge Mall
- Peter Lougheed Hospital
- Whitehorn LRT Station
- Local intersections like 52 Street & Temple Drive NE
You can also share your GPS pin through your phone if you’re calling a towing company.

Step 4: Assess the Problem (If Safe)

If you’re able and it’s safe to do so, do a quick check:
- Flat tire?
- Dead battery?
- Keys locked inside?
- Smoke or fluid under the hood?
Don’t attempt any roadside repairs unless you’re confident — especially on busy roads or during bad weather.
Step 5: Prepare for the Tow

While you wait:
- Gather your valuables (wallet, phone, insurance papers)
- Unlock the doors if you’ll be away from the car
- Inform your contact or loved one about the delay
Our drivers will update you via text or call as they’re en route.
