NEW WESTMINSTER TOWING

New Westminster is one of the most topographically challenging cities in Metro Vancouver. The grid was laid out by the Royal Engineers in the 1860s running parallel to the Fraser River, which means the streets run directly up steep hillsides. The City of New Westminster's own planning documents reference the steep topography of Sixth Street as a defining challenge for development — and it is equally challenging for towing. A standard wheel-lift truck that handles flat Surrey roads without any issue can struggle badly on a New Westminster hill in wet weather or winter conditions.

The downtown core adds another layer of difficulty. Parkades in Quayside and Columbia Square are low-clearance and tight. The Queensborough industrial area has road surfaces that wear through tires faster than anywhere else in the city. The Pattullo Bridge and Alex Fraser Bridge both create bottleneck access points that affect response times for towing companies that do not know the local routes. We do. Canuck Towing has been dispatching out of New Westminster since 1993 and we know which roads work at midnight, which parkades need a low-profile rig, and which hills require a flatbed rather than a wheel-lift.

The City of New Westminster's towing policies also mean that vehicles towed for parking violations require specific documentation including valid insurance, plates, and payment of outstanding tickets. Our team is familiar with this process and can help you navigate it quickly if your vehicle has been towed by the city. For any privately arranged tow you call us for directly, the process is simple — one call, one price, one truck that shows up and gets the job done.
