When does a car in Steveston need a flatbed tow truck?
Picture an AWD SUV parked on Chatham Street on a wet morning, warning lights all over the dash. Lift two wheels and tow it like a sedan and you can strain the drivetrain. On a flatbed tow truck all four wheels sit on the deck, so nothing turns on the way to the shop. That's why most of our car towing calls in the village end up on the deck.
The same goes for electric cars. Most makers say they should travel with the wheels off the road, so we load every EV and Tesla on the flatbed. Lowered cars, cars with a smashed front end and cars that won't roll get winched gently up the deck instead of dragged.

Flatbed towing on Moncton Street and the heritage village
Steveston Village is old and narrow on purpose. The City's Steveston Village Heritage Conservation Program protects the look of the streets around Moncton, Bayview, Chatham and 1st Avenue, and that means tight curbs, angled stalls and weekend crowds. We line the flatbed up so the deck clears the parked cars, and we'd rather take a few extra minutes than rush a load in front of a busy café.
Near the Steveston Museum and Post Office on Moncton Street, a driver with a car that won't start is usually more worried about the lineup of traffic than the car. We set up quick, load it flat and get out of the way. If it turns out the battery just needs a boost, our jump start costs less than a tow, and we say so.

Flatbed tow truck help for Steveston condo parkades
The newer buildings around BC Packers and the waterfront have underground parking with low ceilings and tight ramps. A full-size flatbed won't always fit down there, so we plan it first: pull the car up to a spot the deck can reach, then load it. That job is covered on our underground towing page, and it adds the published parkade extra.
Townhouse lots in London/Princess and the Trites Area are easier, but the turns are still tight. Tell us the building, the gate code and where the car sits, and we'll tell you the full price before we come. A pickup or work van that's too heavy for the deck goes to our heavy duty towing team instead.
