A neighbour with a tow truck, not a call centre
Richmond is an island city. Most of it sits on Lulu Island, nearly flat and only about a metre above sea level, ringed by dykes, with the airport on Sea Island next door. That shapes every call we get: long straight roads like No. 1 Road and Steveston Highway, wind and rain off the river, and a short list of bridges and the Massey Tunnel to get anywhere else, which is why we keep a flatbed ready for longer trips.
Our shop is at 12235 No. 1 Road, at the Steveston end of town, and our family lives here too. When your car won't start on a wet morning, we look after it the way we'd want our own looked after: the price on the phone first, then car towing or a battery boost, whichever you actually need. You can read more about our family.

The tow truck that shows up right for the job
The wrong truck can damage a car. Tell us the make and model and where it's stuck, and we match the truck. Most jobs go on our flatbed; heavy duty towing and equipment towing need more muscle.
Simple, honest step-by-step towing
Most calls are sorted in a few minutes on the phone. Tell us what happened, and if a jump start will do it, we say so before anyone books a tow.
Call now: (236) 300-9098Send your spot
Tell us where you are and what happened. A cross street like No. 1 Road and Williams Road is plenty.

We confirm the full price on the phone before anyone heads your way. No surprises at the curb.
The right truck
We pick the truck that fits your vehicle, then load it at the proper tie-down points.
Dropped where you want
We take it home, to your mechanic, a dealer or a body shop anywhere in Richmond or beyond.
Proudly serving all of Richmond, BC
We tow and help drivers on the roadside everywhere in Richmond, and Steveston is home. The City's Steveston Area Plan maps it out: the heritage village, Garry Point and Scotch Pond, BC Packers, London/Princess and the Trites Area. See towing in Steveston for the details.
The village, the harbour and the streets around No. 1 Road. Our shop is here.
No. 3 Road between Alderbridge Way and Capstan Way: mall lots and condo parkades.
YVR and Burkeville, over the Dinsmore, No. 2 Road and Moray bridges.
The Highway 91 corridor toward Delta and New Westminster, where a stall means fast traffic.
Yards and warehouses under the Knight Street Bridge. Bigger trucks, bigger tows.
Calls we get every week
Most Richmond calls are one of these. Each one needs a slightly different plan.
Car dies on the way to work near the Highway 99 interchange. The new five-lane interchange is designed to ease the Steveston Highway backups, but a stall there still needs a quick, safe load. We set up off the live lane and take the car to the shop you choose.
A boat trailer won't budge at the Steveston harbour, still a working home port for fishing boats. We hitch it, check the lights and tie-downs, and haul it to storage or the yard with boat towing.
Keys locked in the car after a walk along the Steveston waterfront. Village parking is shared between shops and homes, so a car lockout call gets you back in without blocking anyone.

Call now: (236) 300-9098How much does towing cost in Richmond, BC?
It depends on the distance, your vehicle and the truck it needs. We give you the full price before we hook up. Our guide on tow truck costs in Richmond breaks it down.
Do you tow everywhere in Richmond, or only Steveston?
All of Richmond. Steveston is home, and we cover City Centre, Sea Island, Mitchell Island and everywhere in between. See towing in Steveston for our home turf.
Can you tow a Tesla or another EV?
Yes, on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground and tow mode set first. See Tesla towing and EV towing.
Can you move my boat from the Steveston harbour?
Yes. Tell us the trailer size and where it is going, and we hitch and haul it with boat towing.
My car just won't start. Do I need a tow?
Often not. A jump start or fuel delivery gets a lot of cars going. If it is more than that, we tow it to your mechanic.
Do you take old cars for scrap?
Yes. We pick up old, wrecked and dead vehicles from your driveway or lot. See scrap car removal.
