NEW OWNERSHIP…
… SAME DEDICATED TEAM!
The name “Gary’s” has long been a familiar presence in the City of Thunder Bay- some might say they recognize the iconic blue cursive lettering on the doors a mile away. Back in the 1990’s, Gary launched the company with little more than a vision and his name. While ownership has changed over the years, the core values and commitment Gary established at the beginning continue to drive the company forward today. By 2025, it stands as one of the largest towing companies in Northwestern Ontario.
Gary’s Towing has a new President at the helm, but the heart of Team Blue hasn’t changed. Our skilled and loyal crew continues to deliver the same high-quality service and dedication our customers know and trust.
At Gary’s Towing, we firmly believe that our success is driven by our exceptional team. A company is only as strong as the people behind it. No matter how impressive the fleet, it takes skilled, trustworthy individuals to operate it and provide the reliable service our customers expect.
We’re proud to employ some of the best professionals in the industry- people who consistently deliver the high level of customer service that defines who we are and what we strive for every day.
