Why is light duty towing in Brentwood Park mostly a driveway job?
Brentwood Park was approved by Burnaby Council in 1953 as the city's first large subdivision built with sewers and paved streets. The Brentwood Park neighbourhood runs from Willingdon Ave east to Springer Ave, and from Hastings St south to Lougheed Hwy. Most homes are bungalows and other detached houses on winding, tree-lined streets. So most of our light duty towing in Brentwood calls here start at a house, not a parkade.
The typical job is a family car that would not start in the morning, a minivan with a failed alternator, or a small pickup that needs a trip to the shop. Winding streets with cars parked on both sides mean we plan where the truck stops before we arrive. A front-wheel-drive car in a driveway is usually a quick wheel lift. An AWD crossover goes on a flatbed in Brentwood Park.
If the trouble is a flat battery, a boost may be all you need. Our Brentwood Park roadside assistance handles that at the curb, and we only tow if the fix does not hold. Newer condos and townhouses along Lougheed Hwy have underground stalls, and our parkade towing guide covers those.
Light duty tow from a Brentwood Park driveway or the street?
Where the car sits changes how we hook it up and where the truck parks.
Driveway or carport
- Tell us if the car is nose-in or backed in. It decides which axle we lift.
- Narrow or sloped driveways may need dollies before a wheel lift can reach the car.
- We keep the truck off lawns and clear of the boulevard trees along the winding streets.
- Keys in hand and the parking brake released, if it is safe, makes the hookup quicker.
Street parking
- Visitors may park up to 3 hours on a legal space from 8 am to 6 pm under Burnaby parking rules, so a stalled guest car should move soon.
- Side-street parking near Willingdon Linear Park is limited, so give us the closest cross street.
- Near Brentwood Park Elementary at 1455 Delta Ave, we work around school drop-off and pick-up when we can.
- Churches along Delta Ave fill the curbs at service times, which can change where we stop.

Brentwood Park light duty towing questions
Can you get a car out of an older single-car garage?
Usually, yes. If the car cannot roll, we use dollies to bring it to the driveway first, then load it. A wheel lift in Brentwood Park is often the best fit for tight spots.
My car is near Holdom station. Is that still Brentwood Park?
Holdom station, at Lougheed Hwy and Holdom Ave, serves the area, and we cover it. Give us the nearest corner and which side of Lougheed you are on.
Can you tow from near Beecher Park?
Yes. Beecher Park lies between Springer Ave and Delta Ave, with Beecher Creek running through it. Give us the nearest house number and we meet you at the curb.
Do you tow small pickups and work vans from here?
Yes. Half-ton pickups and light vans are light duty. Heavier trucks go to our heavy duty team in Brentwood Park.
How long will my tow take?
It depends on traffic on Lougheed and where the car is parked. We give you an honest update when you call. Our post on how long a tow takes in Brentwood explains what affects it.
