⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS ⚠️
County Towing would like to make the public aware of Roadside Assistance scams currently happening in our area. Recently, we became aware of a situation where a consumer was targeted by a fraudulent Roadside Assistance Operation. Unfortunately, the scam had already been completed before it was brought to our attention.
The consumer had searched for AMA on google and the top result was a Roadside Assistance Operation that Charged the Client when performing a dispatch intake, then told the tow truck operator to also charge the client when on scene. This Roadside Assistance Provider also stated that it was against policy for the tow truck operator to disclose any pricing or invoice information to the client, which as of 2026, Alberta Tow Truck and Storage Regulations , is illegal.
At this time, due to privacy regulations and an ongoing Consumer Affairs review, we are unable to disclose the company name involved until authorization has been given.
We strongly encourage all motorists to stay vigilant when requesting roadside or towing services. Before agreeing to service:
✔️ Verify the Roadside Assistance name and Contact information
✔️ Use trusted and reputable roadside assistance providers
✔️ Be cautious of unsolicited tow trucks arriving unexpectedly
✔️ Ask for pricing and identification before service begins
✔️ Research reviews and company legitimacy whenever possible
❌ Do Not Trust Google to Provide you with a Trusted Company as both Towing Companies and Roadside Assistance Providers can pay to have their ad appear above all others.
Your safety and protection matter. County Towing remains committed to be an honest, professional, and transparent service for our community.
If you believe you have encountered suspicious towing or Roadside Assistance activity, please report it to local authorities and Consumer Affairs. Consumer affairs contact information can be found at the bottom page of:
