Car stopped near Columbia Street, Uptown, or Queensborough? Towstar Towing and Recovery™ helps drivers move cars and small SUVs when it is not safe to drive. Our light duty towing service covers local pickups, breakdowns, and trips to a repair shop. Explore our towing service options, then call with your pickup spot and vehicle details to get a quote.
A broken belt, a bad wheel, or an engine that will not start can stop your day. Tell our team what happened and where the car sits. We can talk through a light duty tow and the right truck for the job. Some cars need flatbed towing to keep every wheel off the road during the move.
If your car quits near Royal Avenue, the Quay, or Sapperton, do not keep driving it just to reach a shop. Stop where it is safe, turn on your hazard lights, and share a clear pickup point. A garage has special height and access limits, so ask about underground towing before a truck is sent to a low parkade.
How much does the Service cost?
Complete the “Get Quick Quote” form and you’ll receive a fast price estimate by email and a follow-up call from our Dispatch team.
The price of a car tow can change with travel distance, vehicle size, road access, and the kind of truck used. Tell dispatch if your wheels will not roll or if the car is in a tight space. For special wheel setups, dolly towing may be an option. Ask for the likely total and any extra fees before booking.
Not every car should be moved in the same way. A front wheel drive sedan, an all wheel drive SUV, and an electric car may each need a different loading plan. Share the make, model, and any damage before pickup. For an electric vehicle, see our Tesla towing option. Our aim is a careful move from pickup to drop-off.
You may only need a short tow from Downtown to a nearby repair shop, or you may need to take a car beyond city limits. Give us the pickup and drop-off addresses so the trip can be planned. For a journey outside the area, ask about long distance hauling. Towstar can explain the transport plan and quote before you decide.
Start with a call to (604) 332-0894. Tell us your street, nearby landmark, car model, and whether the wheels can move. Say if you are parked near Moody Park or the Queensborough Bridge so pickup details are clear. If you also need to move a bike, ask about motorcycle towing. We can help sort out the right service.
Need a Quote before scheduling in for roadside assistance?
An engine may fail in traffic, a wheel may lock, or a small van may need a move from a driveway. Light duty towing is often right for passenger cars and many small SUVs. If the vehicle is a larger work van or pickup, ask about truck towing instead. Sharing the vehicle weight and condition helps dispatch choose a suitable truck.
After a minor crash, do not move a car that leaks fluid, has loose parts, or cannot steer safely. Tell us what is damaged before we plan a pickup. If you were pulling a small trailer, let us know that too. Our trailer towing service is separate from an ordinary car tow, so both parts of the job must be checked.
While you wait for a tow truck, stay away from moving traffic. If you can pull into a safe area, switch on your hazard lights and note nearby signs. Never stand behind a stopped car on a busy road. The BC government shares roadside emergency advice. If anyone is hurt or there is immediate danger, call 911 before arranging a tow.
An everyday car may only need a short local move. A much larger vehicle needs a different truck, and the tow plan should not be guessed from a photo alone. If you have a camper or bigger recreational vehicle, read about RV towing and share its size when you call. This helps avoid sending equipment that does not fit the job.
Towstar Towing and Recovery™ serves drivers in New Westminster and across the Lower Mainland. Whether you are near Columbia Station, Queen’s Park, or Connaught Heights, tell us what you drive and why it needs moving. We will discuss the pickup, the safest service type, and the destination. Call the dispatch line to check availability and get a price for your exact job.
Towstar has a dispatch line for urgent towing requests, including late hours. Call (604) 332-0894 and tell us where your car is and what went wrong. We can check whether a suitable truck is available and discuss the next step. Wait in a safe place away from traffic. Actual arrival times depend on road conditions and current jobs.
Some tow trucks cannot fit under a low garage ceiling. Before booking, share the garage entrance height, floor level, ramps, and where the car is parked. Also tell us if the car has a flat tire or locked wheels. A low clearance tow may need special tools and access. The driver must check whether the pickup can be done safely.
There is no single price for every car tow. Distance, truck type, access, and vehicle condition can change the total. Give dispatch the exact pickup place and drop-off address for a more useful quote. You can also read Towstar’s New Westminster towing cost guide for background. Confirm the live price and any added fees before you agree to service.
You can ask to have your car taken to a repair shop you choose, a safe home parking space, or another approved drop-off point. Give the full address when you call. Check that the shop is open and ready to receive the vehicle. If the lot has gates or hours, share those details so the tow can be planned properly.
Light duty towing is one part of our towing service range. If your vehicle is bigger, sits in a low parkade, or needs a special loading method, another service may fit better. The pages below cover the other towing options listed for New Westminster. Pick the one that matches your vehicle, then call us with your pickup details for a job-based quote.
Tell dispatch your closest street or landmark so the pickup point is easy to find. We help drivers across the city, from busier streets near the river to quieter homes farther up the hill. A clear address, vehicle description, and safe meeting spot help us plan each tow. Service timing and the truck available can vary by area and job.
