Why does wheel lift towing suit Brentwood Park streets?
Brentwood Park is a neighbourhood of homes, not towers. It runs from Willingdon Ave to Springer Ave and from Hastings St down to Lougheed Hwy, and its history goes back to a 1953 plan for about 400 homes, billed as Burnaby's first large subdivision built with sewers and paved streets. Those streets still wind under big trees, and many homes are bungalows with a single driveway. A wheel lift truck is short enough to back up to that driveway or tuck in at the curb, which is why it is our usual pick here. It is the neighbourhood branch of our wheel lift towing in Brentwood service.
Street parking shapes a lot of calls. Under Burnaby's parking rules, visitors can stay in a legal street space for up to 3 hours between 8 am and 6 pm, while residents of the same block are exempt. A visiting car that will not start near that limit becomes a worry fast. A wheel lift clears it from the curb without holding up the street for long. If the trouble is only a flat battery, try roadside assistance in Brentwood Park first.
Willingdon Linear Park runs along the east side of Willingdon from Brentlawn Dr to Hastings, and side-street parking near it is limited. Around Brentwood Park Elementary at 1455 Delta Ave and the churches along Delta, we plan the hookup so the truck does not sit in a line of parents. Damaged cars and low ones still go on a Brentwood Park flatbed.
Wheel lift or flatbed in Brentwood Park: which one comes?
The drive type of your car decides the truck. Here is how it plays out on a Brentwood Park street.
Wheel lift is the right call
- A front-wheel-drive sedan or hatchback in a driveway off Delta Ave
- A car parked along the curb on a curving side street
- A rear-wheel-drive pickup lifted by the rear axle for a short trip to a local shop
- A no-start car blocking the lane behind a bungalow
Dollies or a flatbed instead
- AWD SUVs and crossovers, which need dollies under the free axle
- EVs and hybrids, which go on a flatbed in most cases
- Cars with crash damage to a wheel or the suspension
- A heavy pickup with a camper, which goes to our heavy duty team in Brentwood Park

Brentwood Park wheel lift towing questions
Can a wheel lift reach my car in a narrow driveway?
Usually, yes. The truck is short and the arm reaches out behind it, so the driver can lift the car without pulling fully onto your drive.
Will the tow mark my lawn or curb?
We stay on hard surfaces. If the car has rolled onto grass, we winch it back to the pavement before we lift it.
Can you pick up near Holdom station?
Yes. Holdom station, one of the two SkyTrain stops serving the area, is at Lougheed Hwy and Holdom Ave. Give us the corner and we come to it.
Can you tow from Willingdon Ave next to the linear park?
Yes. Willingdon is a busy road, so we set up quickly with lights on and keep the 4 m path clear for people walking and cycling.
How soon can the truck get to my street?
It depends on traffic and where the truck is. Our post on how long a tow takes explains what changes the wait.
