What towing services do Steveston drivers call us for?
Mostly the everyday stuff. A car that won't start in a townhouse lot off Railway Avenue, a sedan with a blown tire on Steveston Highway, a pickup that quit on the way to the harbour. For those we send a light duty truck or a flatbed and take it to your mechanic, your dealer or home. Our car towing service page walks through how that works, and a lot of village calls end up as flatbed towing because the parking is tight.
Then there are the Steveston specials. Trailers and boats come and go from the working harbour, so boat towing is a regular job here. Riders park along Moncton Street on sunny weekends, and when a bike won't fire up we strap it upright for motorcycle towing. Work trucks from the river yards in the Trites Area sometimes need a heavy wrecker for heavy duty towing.

Which tow truck is right for your car in Steveston?
The truck depends on what you drive and where it is stuck. Here is how we decide, so nothing gets damaged on the way out of the village. If you drive an electric car, read our notes on EV towing and Tesla towing before anyone pulls it with two wheels down.
| Your vehicle | Truck we send | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small car or sedan, front-wheel drive | Light duty or wheel-lift | Lifts one end, quick for a short hop to a Richmond shop |
| AWD, 4x4, SUV, EV or Tesla | Flatbed | All four wheels off the road, the way the makers ask |
| Lowered, damaged or no-roll car | Flatbed with winch | Pulled gently onto the deck, no scraping |
| Motorcycle or scooter | Flatbed with wheel chock | Stands upright with soft ties |
| Box truck, bus or loaded van | Heavy wrecker | Rated for the weight, with an underlift |

Towing around Steveston Village and the waterfront
Steveston has its own quirks. The heritage streets around Moncton, Chatham and Bayview are narrow, the waterfront lots fill up on weekends, and the side streets toward London/Princess are lined with parked cars. The City's Steveston Area Plan maps it all, from Garry Point and Scotch Pond to BC Packers and the Trites Area. We load where it is safe, sometimes around the corner, and we tell you before we do it. If a stall is the issue rather than a breakdown, our roadside assistance team can often sort it right there.
When we work at the curb, our lights are on. In BC, drivers have to slow down and move over for tow trucks with flashing lights, down to 40 km/h on village streets and 70 km/h on Highway 99. Stay off the road shoulder while we load, and we'll have your car on the deck and you back in the cab quickly. For the bigger loads, see our heavy duty services.
