About our Steveston tow truck, in short

Why Adam started a tow truck company in Steveston
Living in Steveston, you see the same small snags over and over. Fog off the Fraser on a commuter morning and a car that won't turn over on a narrow driveway off Williams Road. Rain on No. 2 Road and a tire that gives out. A busy weekend by the water and a car that won't start in a full lot. Adam saw those everyday problems and set up Steveston Tow Truck Richmond so neighbours had someone local to call, for a battery boost as much as for car towing.
It's still that kind of business. The people who answer are the people who show up, and we treat every call like it's a neighbour's car, because in Steveston it usually is. When it's a bigger job, like a heavy duty tow or a boat on a trailer, we plan it with you instead of rushing it.
Towing in Steveston is local work for a local family
Steveston is a fishing village first. The Steveston Harbour is home to more than 500 commercial fishing boats, and locals buy fish straight off them at Fisherman's Wharf, just south of Bayview Street. That means trailers, delivery trucks and work vans all day, and the occasional tow for each. Up the river, the Britannia Shipyard at the foot of Railway Avenue draws crowds for festivals, and full lots mean the odd lockout or dead battery. Those are the calls our roadside assistance truck is built for.
We know which streets are tight for a flatbed, where to load safely near the village, and the quiet roads toward London/Princess and the Trites Area. That local knowledge is the whole point of a neighbourhood tow truck. When a car goes beyond Steveston, we take it anywhere in Richmond or further, priced first. See our towing services for every option.
How our Steveston tow truck handles every call
Every call goes the same way. We ask where you are, what the vehicle is and what happened. We work out whether it's a tow or a quick fix. Then we tell you the full price, and only then does anyone head your way. Our starting prices are published on the homepage so you can check them yourself, and our guide on tow truck costs in Richmond explains what moves them.
On the job, we load at the proper tie-down points, use a flatbed for AWD cars, EVs and bikes, and tidy up before we leave. If you have a question at any point, ask the driver, or contact us afterwards. For tips and local know-how, visit our blog.
