3.5 stars guy was very nice, cost of the tow quite high. I had to help guy load truck, he was on time. Because I had to help my uber charged me a wait fee.

After an accident, our car needed a tow. The driver who towed our car was super helpful. He assessed the car damage and suggested where to tow the car based on the damage and where we live. After the shop looked at the vehicle, it turned out that his assessment was accurate. I'm sorry I didn't get his name. I appreciated his helpfulness and expertise during a stressful time.

I have used Advance Towing twice within two days. On Saturday, Oct. 30th, Harvey (a driver) came to my aid and helped me, towing my truck to my home. I used BCAA who first called Drake Towing, who left me waiting stranded for five hours. Drake Towing never showed, so BCAA then called Advance Towing to help me. Harvey came to my aid within 40 minutes and was incredibly helpful, informative and just really kind. Then on Monday, Nov. 1st, I need another Tow to get my car to an auto repair shop. This time I asked for the same company and the same driver. Again, Advance Towing was quick to send a tow

My Volvo died en route to finish shopping this morning with my wife in Vancouver heading to North Vancouver. Died Nanaimo and Grandview heading north. I called for first time Volvo Roadside Assistance for the first time and 5 minutes later the tow driver arrived on scene. He not only towed my car that was blocking traffic yet also attempted to resolve my issue. He jump started me which seemingly worked and did not. He then towed my vehicle to the restaurant so we could unload groceries for my wife and he insisted on helping us unload my cargo. He then towed my vehicle to the dealership and along

I waited 45 minutes for the tow truck to come remove a car from my stall at 11pm. By the time the driver arrived the car owner had shown up and just left. Meanwhile I'm left standing in the cold unable to go home after a 12 hour shift.

I put my groceries away and accidentally left keys in trunk , called this company. They came quick but of course they were making a premium for unlocking my door to get my keys. My fault for not asking how much . Called other companies only to find out this price I paid was the going rate. But did find out there were a few companies charging almost half there price. My fault for not calling around for prices, quick response. Terrible pricing . There price was more than my groceries. Learned a valuable lesson .. my fault
