How It Works
Real-Time Tow Truck Routing Across the Burnaby Region
When you call, the operator hears your location, vehicle type, and what went wrong. Behind the scenes, the system checks live positions of all available rigs across the six-city network. The closest unit with the right equipment (wheel-lift, flatbed, heavy-duty wrecker, or winch) gets routed to you. This approach cuts response time because a truck staged in Surrey doesn't wait for a Burnaby unit stuck in traffic. Burnaby core typically sees 25 to 45 minutes off-peak; outer cities run 30 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and rig availability.
Pricing is quoted before the rig rolls. Standard hook-up runs $80 to $150 plus $3 to $6 per kilometre. After-hours calls between 10 PM and 6 AM may add $20 to $50. Storm or difficult-recovery surcharges are explained on the phone. Heavy-duty towing for trucks, RVs, or multi-vehicle accidents follows the same transparent model. Winch recovery on rural roads or highway shoulders is available any hour. The operator confirms your drop-off destination (preferred mechanic, home garage, or regional specialist) before the rig leaves the yard.
