When your car cannot drive, Towstar Towing and Recovery™ can send a flatbed tow truck to Port Moody. We load the whole vehicle onto a level deck, secure each wheel, and move it with care. Our complete towing service options cover daily drivers, SUVs, EVs, motorcycles, and damaged cars near St. Johns Street, Rocky Point Park, and nearby neighbourhoods. Call any time for help.
A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which helps protect the tires, steering, and drivetrain during the trip. It is a smart choice for low cars, all-wheel-drive vehicles, and cars with damage. For smaller daily vehicles, our light duty towing service gives drivers another safe option. We explain the loading plan before work starts. This keeps the service simple and clear.
Choose a flatbed when a vehicle has locked wheels, steering damage, a low front bumper, or an all-wheel-drive system. It also works well for collector cars and vehicles that should not roll. If the car is inside a low parkade, our underground towing team can move it to an open area before the flatbed finishes the trip. That plan protects the car at each stage.

Breakdowns can happen on Barnet Highway, St. Johns Street, Ioco Road, or a small road in Heritage Mountain. Tell dispatch your exact spot, vehicle type, and problem. We match the truck to the job and share clear updates. Riders can also book motorcycle towing services when a bike needs stable loading, careful straps, and secure transport. This helps protect the bike from movement.
Our flatbed can carry many cars, crossovers, vans, EVs, and small specialty vehicles within its safe size and weight limits. We check ground clearance, wheel movement, and pickup access first. Tesla owners can use our Tesla towing service for careful loading that keeps the drive wheels off the road and follows the vehicle maker’s transport guidance. We also confirm a safe drop-off point.
Call with your pickup point, drop-off point, vehicle year, make, model, and current condition. Tell us about locked wheels, missing keys, leaks, or tight access. We confirm the truck type, then the driver loads and secures the vehicle. For work units or compact machines, ask about equipment towing services so dispatch can check weight and deck space. This avoids delays when the truck arrives.
Before loading, the driver checks the road angle, bumper height, tire position, and safe tie-down points. The vehicle is pulled onto the deck in a controlled way and secured before travel. Larger pickups may need a different unit, so our truck towing service helps match heavier vehicles with the right towing equipment and safe working limits. The right match helps prevent added damage.

After a sudden breakdown, move to a safe place when you can and turn on the hazard lights. Stay clear of moving traffic while you wait. A flatbed can move a car that will not start, steer, or roll. If the vehicle is too large for a standard unit, heavy duty towing services may be the safer match. Dispatch will confirm the best truck.
All-wheel-drive cars and many EVs should travel with every wheel off the road to reduce drivetrain risk. Tell dispatch the make, model, battery state, and whether the wheels can turn. We can plan a careful pickup near Inlet Centre, Moody Centre, or College Park. For a longer destination, our long distance hauling service supports planned moves beyond the local area.
A crash can leave a wheel bent, a bumper loose, or the steering unable to turn. Do not drive a vehicle that feels unsafe. Share photos with dispatch when possible and tell us about fluids, blocked access, or missing keys. When wheels cannot roll normally, our dolly towing service may help position the vehicle for safe recovery and loading. Every recovery plan starts with safety.
Your quote can change with distance, vehicle size, access, time, and extra recovery work. Ask what is included before the truck arrives, and keep the receipt after service. When a crash claim may apply, the official ICBC claim reporting page explains how to start a claim. Towstar Towing and Recovery™ provides clear job details so you know what was done.
Towstar Towing and Recovery™ serves Port Moody with simple booking, clear communication, and vehicle-focused care. We know the turns near Rocky Point Park, the hills around Heritage Woods, and the busy routes through Moody Centre. For larger recreational vehicles, our RV towing services provide another purpose-built option. Call now and tell us what your vehicle needs. We are ready to help.
The price depends on pickup distance, drop-off distance, vehicle size, access, time of day, and any extra recovery work. A simple roadside pickup usually costs less than a car stuck in a tight parkade or ditch. Call with the exact locations and vehicle details. Dispatch can explain the likely charges before the truck is sent, so you can make a clear choice.
Yes, a flatbed is often a strong choice for all-wheel-drive and electric cars because all four wheels stay off the road. Tell dispatch the make, model, condition, and whether the wheels can roll. The driver will check clearance and safe tie-down points. Always follow the vehicle maker’s towing instructions, especially when the battery is low or the car will not shift.
Move the vehicle away from traffic if it is safe, turn on the hazard lights, and wait in a protected place. Do not stand between vehicles or beside a live traffic lane. Share your exact location and nearby landmark with dispatch. Our emergency flatbed towing guide gives more simple steps that can help you prepare before the driver arrives. Keep your phone close for updates.
Often, yes. Locked wheels, a dead battery, or missing keys can change the loading method, but they do not always stop a tow. Tell dispatch about the problem before the truck arrives. The driver may use skates, dollies, or another recovery method to position the vehicle. Tight parkades and steep driveways need extra planning, so photos and clearance details are very helpful.
