Why do Brentwood Park cars need a flatbed instead of a hook?
Brentwood Park is the residential area between Willingdon Ave and Springer Ave, from Hastings St down to Lougheed Hwy. Most homes are single-family houses, many of them bungalows, on winding streets lined with trees. So our flatbed calls here usually start in a driveway, a carport or at the curb, not in a garage under a tower. When the car is AWD, electric, lowered or damaged, it goes on the deck. Our Brentwood flatbed towing page covers the wider area.
The Brentwood Park neighbourhood grew out of a 1953 Council approval for about 400 homes and a shopping centre, and it was Burnaby's first large subdivision built with sewers and paved streets. That layout still shapes how we work. Curving streets and mature trees can make it hard to line a long deck truck up with a driveway, so we may first pull the car to the street with a wheel lift or dollies, then load it.
Not every no-start needs a tow. If the battery is flat and nothing else is wrong, roadside assistance in Brentwood Park may get you going right where the car sits. When an AWD car will not move, or it was hit while parked, a flatbed is the gentler way to get it to the shop. Larger work vans go to heavy duty towing in Brentwood Park.
Delta Ave is home to several churches as well as the school, and Beecher Park runs between Springer Ave and Delta Ave. Weekend services and school drop-offs bring extra parked cars, so we may ask you to meet us at the curb and point out the car.

Flatbed or wheel lift for your Brentwood Park car?
Here is how we decide which truck to send to a Brentwood Park home.
Flatbed fits best
- An all-wheel drive SUV or crossover parked in a driveway off Delta Ave
- An electric car in a home garage that will not shift out of park
- A lowered car whose front lip would catch on a wheel lift
- A car with a bent wheel after being clipped near Beecher Park
- A motorcycle kept in a carport or side yard
Wheel lift may be enough
- A front-wheel-drive sedan that simply will not start
- A car tucked into a narrow side space where a deck cannot line up
- A short move to a shop just south of Lougheed Hwy
- Everyday cars are covered by light duty towing in Brentwood Park
What do Brentwood Park residents ask about flatbed towing?
Can a flatbed reach my driveway on a narrow street?
Usually. If trees, a hedge or parked cars block the angle, we winch the car out to the street and load it there instead.
My broken-down car has been on the street for days. Is that a problem?
It can be. Burnaby's street parking rules give visitors and non-residents up to three hours on a block between 8 am and 6 pm, so a stranded car outside a neighbour's house may draw a ticket. Moving it on a flatbed settles that.
My car was hit while parked near Brentwood Park Elementary. What now?
Take photos, swap details if the other driver stopped, then call us. We load it flat so the damage does not get worse and take it to the body shop you choose. Our breakdown checklist lists the rest.
Where can you take my car from Brentwood Park?
To your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop or another home. Highway 1 is reached from the Willingdon on-ramp, so shops across the region are an easy run for the deck truck.
Can you move my car further than Metro Vancouver?
Yes, that is a planned trip. See long distance towing from Brentwood Park.
