Very disappointed with my experience. The towing company charged me a full amount for pulling my car out of a ditch but then left me stranded in a remote area at night, even though they knew my vehicle was not drivable. There were no nearby services, washrooms, or safe place to wait. I expected basic professionalism and care for customer safety, but that didn’t happen. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

Standish Towing is amazing - I have used their services on multiple occasions - most recently, on August 16! My tow truck driver, Shah, was nothing short of spectacular. He was extraordinarily polite and had a wonderful sense of humour that helped lighten the mood in a rather unfortunate circumstance. He should probably get a raise in my humble estimation! He also helped us find a mechanic given the shortage in Bow Valley, which saved our trip!
Keep up the awesome work, Standish and Shah!

Needed a tow 3.9 km from my location, and they quoted $460. Instead, I got a CAA Premium membership for $200, and the tow was handled within an hour. Hilariously, the same company ended up towing it!

A huge thank you to Ben who came to our rescue in Banff when our coach bus broke down on Highway 1 due to an alternator issue. Ben — you are truly a hero! We can’t thank you enough for your help.
I would highly recommend Standish Towing for their efficiency, helpfulness, prompt response, and creative problem-solving. Exceptional service when we needed it most!

We had issues with our trailer hydraulic system & Ryan was phenomenal with all the work he did! Saved us from towing our trailer all the way back to Calgary. Super handy mechanics & overall excellent service!!

Might want to give your employee guiding traffic at Minnewanka on July 6th some training on customer relations. He was just getting set up to direct traffic around by Two Jack. Signs had just been turned to indicate traffic flow but he was still in his van. There were three vehicles directly behind him of which I was the last. As I went to go around him on my to Minnewanka, he jumped out and yelled at me to stop and that I should be going the other way. I can understand he thought I might want to go to Two Jack as I was in my RV. He calmed down once I advised him where I was going but as two other vehicles had passed him just ahead of me I felt it unnecessary to be yelled at. As I am a local, I get the big picture - just wanted to give you a heads up on customer service.
Cheers

Had my car break down in Banff and called. They quoted me around $400 to tow my car 4 blocks. And this was with a supposed “discount”. Absolutely ridiculous pricing

Thanks to Standish Towing & Recovery for hauling us back to town from Lake Louise. We were connected to through AMA, they even showed up on time, if not a bit early. Our driver, Matt, was professional and courteous. Thanks again Matt!

My car hydride Lexus NX350 died on me today at -20C in Pipestone trailhead. My roadside service connect me to Standish Towing. They have provided me the best service from both their office personnel and the driver! We were safely taking the car to Royal Oak Lexus and a free ride home in Calgary! Will recommend them for anyone need a tow service!

0 stars don't use them they charged me 19000 dollers to pickup trailer and drop it 1.5 km away it got uncoupled due to fifth wheel failure and out of that 4500 was fuel surcharge (highway robbers) and they bring 2 60 ton trucks one of them was just sitting on side watching when I arrive at scene. Also they told me they need to use special truck to tow the trailers (b-train) but when I saw they were using just a standard peterbuilt.
Don't use them at all they will try to take your advantage regardless of your situation (the fifth wheel had work done prior to trip so the mechanic messed up something) and who takes 6 hours just to plan and pickup trailers( about whole story would you like to explain about fuel surcharge and needing special truck to move trailers and asking next day 7000 to move load of lumber to different trailer ) . I know you guys have business to run and mouths to feed but so does others

My vehicle unexpectedly wouldn't start from so I called AMA; Standish Towing arrived and provided me 10 liter's of fuel thinking maybe gas gauge wasn't accurate; still wouldn't start. Since my vehicle was in an underground parkade and and all wheel drive they had to dolly it and rescue it and load my X5 onto a flat deck and take me into Calgary BMW. Everyone we worked with was ultra-professional especially our truck driver Matt. This is the third time we've used Standish for company vehicles at Wi-Com Solutions and couldn't be more pleased with service.

I was stranded on the side of the highway just west of Banff. After many hours of waiting - BCAA and AMA miscommunication - Standish towing got the call to save me. 🙂 Dan found me and Faisal was close behind. He had my suv loaded in minutes and then drove me all the way to Cranbrook. Faisal was efficient, polite and a great ambassador for Standish towing.
Really appreciated the great service.

We had a problem with or rented RV - the battery was not holding its charge so fridge and heater did not work after a short time.
After having been sent away by others, we found the needed help at Standish. They checked the battery immediately and managed all the paperwork with our rental company. Even though they had a busy Friday, they promised us to order the special battery and install it on the same day. Promise kept and super friendly and helpful. As the regular technicians were on the road, Conny put on the mechanics suit herself and exchanged the battery for us, ensuring that we could continue our holiday. She did a great job and left us with an amazing experience in case you need urgent help! Thanks Conny and Standish team!!
Our vacations were great!

Standish Towing was a ray of light in an otherwise terrible situation. We lost a tire near Canmore. I called a few towing companies but only Pat in Standish dispatch explained the situation to me so I understood why I needed a tow and not just some lug nuts. The driver was friendly and understanding and knew his way around the Canmore garage options. They did me a favor and towed my trailer to the nearby rest stop for free. The traffic block guy they sent was also friendly and made a bad situation better. I highly recommend Standish Towing.

We broke down on the #1 today just west of Banff. Colin came by within the hour and had the car on the flatbed in 5 minutes flat. Took me and the car to Calgary to our shop of choice. Didn’t cost me anything, thanks to the premium AMA membership. Totally worth having that. Our vacation is done but at least we are home safe and sound.
