Burnaby Towing Company
Need a heavy vehicle battery boost in Vancouver BC? If your truck, bus, or work van won’t start near the Port of Vancouver, Terminal Avenue, or along Kingsway, call Towstar Towing and Recovery™. Many drivers search “battery boost service near me” in a rush, and we’re ready 24/7. You can also book other roadside assistance any time with one quick call.
Heavy vehicles need more power than a small car. Our Vancouver BC crew can boost diesel pickups, cube vans, and fleet trucks using high‑output equipment. If you’re not sure whether you need a boost or a charge, we’ll check basics and help you choose the right fix. For regular cars, see our car battery boost option too.
When you call, we ask where you are and what you drive. Then we dispatch the closest unit. We park safely, set lights, and connect clamps the right way to avoid sparks. For dual‑battery systems, we test both sides before we try to start. If you searched “jump start near me” at 2 a.m., our 24 hour roadside assistance team is ready.

We boost many types of heavy vehicles in Vancouver BC, from delivery trucks in Mount Pleasant to shuttle buses near the Vancouver Convention Centre. If you’re stuck with more than one problem, we can help with quick add‑ons like a spare swap or a stuck lug nut. Many drivers pair a boost with a mobile tire change when the day starts rough.
A heavy vehicle jump start is not just about power. It’s also about safety and speed. Towstar crews use clean connection points, strong cables, and a calm process so you can get back to your route. We can also top up your tires if the truck sat overnight and lost pressure. Ask for a quick tire air up while we’re on site.
Drivers call us from Downtown, the West End, and busy routes near Granville Bridge. We also handle commercial yards along Marine Drive and near the Port gates, so truck roadside assistance is always close. If your battery died because you ran out of fuel or your day went long, we can help in one trip. Add our fuel delivery service so you’re not stuck twice.
Towstar Towing and Recovery™ is built for real roadside problems. We show up with the right gear, clear prices, and a friendly attitude. If you can’t get into the cab to pop the hood, tell us right away so we can plan the safest approach. Many fleet drivers also keep our lockout help link saved for fast help.

A dead battery can look like many things. Sometimes it’s slow cranking, sometimes it’s just clicks, and sometimes the dash goes dark. In Vancouver BC, cold snaps and short trips make it worse. Before we boost, we check for loose terminals and obvious damage. If you also picked up a nail, our tire repair team can help after you start.
Heavy trucks and buses often use two batteries, and the connections can be tight. We keep clamps away from belts and moving parts, and we never boost a battery that looks swollen or frozen. If you want to learn the basics, this Canadian jump-start safety guide explains safe steps. When we arrive, we follow a careful, repeatable routine.
If your truck starts but dies again at the next stop, the battery may not hold a charge. We can test voltage and look for simple drain causes, like lights left on or a weak connection. When it’s time for a new unit, we can connect you with our battery replacement option so your fleet stays reliable.
While you wait, turn off extra loads like heaters, lights, and inverters. Put the vehicle in park, set the brake, and stay visible if you’re roadside. If you’re in a tight spot like a loading bay, tell dispatch the best access point and gate code. A quick photo of the battery area can also speed up the right setup.
Pricing for a heavy vehicle boost depends on access, battery setup, and where you’re parked. A wide shoulder is simple, but a tight dock or a parkade can take more time. If you searched “jump start service” and you’re stuck below grade, ask about our underground roadside help dispatch options. We aim for fast arrival updates so your schedule stays on track.
Response time depends on traffic and where your heavy vehicle is parked. If you’re near Downtown, the Port, or the Broadway corridor, we can often reach you quickly. Call and share your exact spot, vehicle size, and battery type. We’ll give a clear ETA, and you can wait safely while we head your way, day or night.
Yes. Many diesel trucks and buses use dual batteries, and we’re set up for that. We check the battery condition, find safe connection points, and boost in a steady way so you don’t damage sensitive parts. If you want a simple walk‑through of the basics, read how a battery boost works and then call us when you’re ready.
That usually means the battery is weak, there is a drain, or the alternator is not charging well. After we get you started, try to drive or idle long enough to build charge. If it dies again soon, plan for a battery test and possible replacement. For fleets, we can help you decide the next step so you don’t lose another shift.
