You hear the full price before we hook up.
Tesla towing in Steveston, in short
- Teslas ride on the flatbed, from $125 with the first 10 km, then $4 per km. Before taxes and fees.
- We set transport mode before loading so the wheels roll free, and never tow a Tesla with wheels on the road.
- Tell us the model, the battery level and where it sits, like a parkade at Imperial Landing or a stall at a charger.
Why Tesla towing is done flat in Steveston
A Tesla's motors sit right at the wheels, so turning the wheels on the road can feed power back into the system and damage it. Tesla's own instructions for transporters ask for a flatbed or wheel dollies, and explain transport mode, which keeps the wheels free to roll while the car is pulled up the deck. We follow those steps every time. It's the same care behind our wider EV towing and flatbed towing service.
If the 12-volt battery is flat, the car can't go into transport mode on its own. We power it up first, then set the mode and load it. If it won't wake at all, we use wheel dollies so nothing drags. A Tesla that only needs that 12-volt boost may not need a tow, and a battery boost could have you driving again.

Tesla towing from Steveston parkades and chargers
A lot of Steveston Teslas live in condo parkades, at Imperial Landing on Bayview Street, in the Village blocks along Moncton, and in the townhouse garages around BC Packers. Low ceilings mean the car has to come up the ramp before it goes on the deck, which is an underground towing job first. We check the clearance and the ramp before we arrive, so the tow starts clean.
Another common call is a Tesla that ran low and stopped short of a charger. The City keeps a list of charging stations in Richmond, and sometimes a short tow to the nearest one is all it takes. Tell us the charge level and where you're parked, and we'll tell you whether it's a tow to a charger, a tow home or a trip to a shop through our car towing service.

How we load a Tesla on a Steveston tow truck
We pull the car up the deck slowly using the tow eye or soft straps at the points Tesla shows, never by the suspension arms. Then we strap the wheels, not the body, so the low battery pack and the underbody stay clear. We take Steveston Highway out of the village rather than the narrow heritage streets, and we drive gently with the car on board.
From here, most Teslas go to the service centre, a body shop, or home. If the trip goes past Richmond, it's priced as long distance towing before we leave. Questions before you book? Send us a note with the model and what the screen is showing.
