Who needs flatbed towing at Madison Centre?
Madison Centre is the office building with retail tenants at 1901 Rosser Ave, which JLL's listing places one block from Brentwood SkyTrain and the mall. Office staff, shop customers and people heading to JOEY, Save-On-Foods and Whole Foods nearby all park in this pocket. When one of those cars is AWD, electric, lowered or damaged, we send a flatbed. The wider area is on our Brentwood flatbed page.
The complex has some history. A City of Burnaby archive photo from about 2000 shows the Madison Centre sign on the site of the old Lougheed Hotel. Today the streets around it mix offices, homes and light industry, so a flatbed job here might be a sedan at the curb on Rosser or a crossover that will not start in a building lot. For a jump or a lockout, roadside assistance at Madison Centre is often enough.
South of the building, Dawson St has light-industrial buildings and the south portal of CN's Thornton Tunnel, between Madison and Rosser avenues. That stretch sees work trucks and freight activity, so we choose our loading spot with care. Parking and loading details for Madison Centre are not published, so tell us where the car is and we will plan the approach. Larger work vehicles on Dawson are a job for heavy duty towing at Madison Centre.
Why insist on the deck for these cars? An all-wheel-drive car towed with two wheels turning can wear out its centre differential or transfer case. An electric car can be damaged if its drive motors spin with no power. A car with crash damage may not steer straight. Putting all four wheels on the bed removes those risks for the short run to Lougheed and beyond. Our Madison Centre light duty page covers simpler front-wheel-drive tows.
Brent Gardens listings name Madison Centre as a local landmark, which shows how central this block is to the residential streets around Halifax St. It also means people use the name loosely. Before we head out, we confirm the street and number, and we check whether the car is really on Dawson near the Madison & Dawson mid-rise. If you are unsure of the cost, read our Brentwood tow price guide.
What do people ask about flatbed towing at Madison Centre?
Is Madison Centre at Madison Ave and Dawson St?
No. Madison Centre is at 1901 Rosser Ave. The six-storey Madison & Dawson building is a separate project, so tell us which one you mean and we will go to the right place.
Can you tow my car out of the office parking?
Yes. Tell us the level and who can open the gate. If the deck truck cannot get in, we move the car out to the street first.
My car died on Rosser near the SkyTrain. Can you load it there?
Yes. We load at the curb with our lights on and keep the deck clear of people walking to Brentwood station.
Can you take it to a body shop for an insurance claim?
Yes, to the shop your claim needs. Our after-a-breakdown guide covers what to do before we arrive.
