What is light duty towing like in Willingdon Heights?
Willingdon Heights runs from Boundary Rd east to Willingdon Ave, between Hastings St and Lougheed Hwy. It grew up after the war, largely under the National Housing Act of 1944, and the Willingdon Heights history notes that most early residents were veterans and their families. It is still mostly detached homes, with some newer condos and townhouses. Our light duty towing in Brentwood covers every block.
Most calls are driveway and curb tows: a car that will not start, a minivan with a bad starter, a pickup that needs a shop. The other busy spot is The Heights shopping district on Hastings St, where cars stall at the curb or in small lots. Front-wheel-drive cars usually go on a wheel lift in Willingdon Heights, and AWD cars on a flatbed.
The area sits between two Hwy 1 exits: Exit 28 at Boundary Rd and Grandview Hwy on the west, and Exit 29 at Willingdon Ave on the east, per the province's Highway 1 exit list. That makes tows to shops in Vancouver or across Burnaby simple. Next door, Brentwood Park lies just east of Willingdon.
Willingdon Heights Park is the largest park in the area at 5.67 ha. It opened in 1949 and has a sports field and the community centre. Busy program times bring many cars at once, so tell us which side of the park you are on. If you are farther south near the big-box stores on Lougheed, our Buchanan West light duty page covers that strip.
Willingdon Heights light duty towing by street type
Where the car stopped shapes the job more than anything else. Detached-home streets, a shopping strip on Hastings and a busy park each need a slightly different setup.
Willingdon Heights light duty towing questions
Do you tow from the community centre parking?
Yes. Willingdon Community Centre sits inside Willingdon Heights Park at 1491 Carleton Ave. Tell us which part of the lot you are in.
My car stalled on Boundary Rd. Is that Burnaby or Vancouver?
The Lougheed Hwy and Boundary Rd junction marks the city line. We cover both sides, so just give us the corner.
Is a pickup truck light duty?
Half-ton pickups and light vans are. If it is a heavier work truck, our Willingdon Heights heavy duty page fits better.
Can you just boost the car?
Yes. Book Willingdon Heights roadside assistance for a boost, lockout or flat. We tow only if the fix does not hold.
Do you tow from the lanes behind the houses?
Yes, if the truck can reach. A wheel lift fits most lanes. If not, dollies bring the car out to the street first.
My car died near the Costco on Still Creek. Do you come there?
Yes. Costco sits east of Willingdon in the Still Creek industrial area, a short hop from Willingdon Heights. Give us the row in the lot and we load it on a wheel lift or flatbed, depending on the drivetrain.
