I don't know who the staff member was who helped us, but he did an amazing job. He towed our new-to-us camping trailer from Sandy Hook to Halfmoon Bay and then carefully navigated the trailer down our driveway between closely spaced trees, past our rancher home with low eaves, around another tree and into the parking spot. All this was done going backwards! I could see how careful he was being to avoid damaging even the smallest trees, which relaxed me during what could have been a stressful experience. And the price was very reasonable. We will definitely call this company again next time we need

Cant speak highly enough of Walts towing service. Daughters car wouldnt start to exit ferry at Horseshoe Bay. Walt answered immediately and was ready to tow when we sadly had to stay on board and return to Langdale. Many calls to him later we were able to get the car running!!! (It was a hybrid so even more complicated). Walt happy for us and no charge! Was very grateful for his expertise and knowing he was ready for us no matter what happened.

I highly recommend this company. On Christmas day we got caught in a blizzard, trying to make it to the ferry terminal back to Vancouver. No one will help us. Todd was recommended by an outreach manager, who was kind enough to drive us to a motel when none of the local taxis in Sechelt will answer and we were stuck outside in the cold. On boxing, I was so grateful to Todd for answering his phone even though he was not located in the town where the vehicle ran off the road. Todd came to the motel got the keys, went to the next town and shoved the vehicle out and towed us to the ferry terminal
