When your vehicle breaks down, is involved in an accident, or cannot be safely driven, North Shore Towing provides emergency towing in North Vancouver and West Vancouver, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Call (604) 355-9700 with your location, vehicle details, and destination. We will arrange the appropriate emergency towing or roadside assistance service for your situation.
Vehicle emergencies do not follow a schedule. North Shore Towing is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency towing throughout North Vancouver and West Vancouver — including late nights, weekends, and holidays.
When you call, we ask for:
Your exact location — Address, nearest intersection, or a nearby landmark
Your vehicle — Make, model, and whether it is AWD, EV, low-clearance, or otherwise specialized
The situation — Breakdown, accident damage, flat tire, dead battery, stuck vehicle, or another emergency
Whether the vehicle can move — Can it roll, steer, or shift into neutral? Is there wheel, suspension, or bumper damage?
Your destination — Repair shop, dealership, body shop, home, or another drop-off location
These details allow us to dispatch the right truck for your specific emergency towing situation.
If your vehicle will not start, has stalled on the road, or has a mechanical issue that makes it unsafe to drive, emergency towing gets it safely to your chosen repair shop or dealership. Tell us whether the vehicle can roll and shift into neutral, as this affects the loading approach.
After a collision, a vehicle may have hidden damage even if it appears drivable. Bent suspension, wheel damage, fluid leaks, or structural damage can make driving unsafe. North Shore Towing provides accident recovery towing in North Vancouver and West Vancouver for vehicles that need careful handling after a collision.
For accident towing, tell us:
Whether the vehicle can roll or shift into neutral
Whether a wheel is bent, flat, or pushed inward
Whether there are visible fluid leaks
Whether the bumper, suspension, or undercarriage has damage
Whether the vehicle is blocking a lane, driveway, or parking area
This helps us determine the safest towing method before the truck arrives.
Flatbed emergency towing keeps all four wheels off the road during transport. This is commonly used for AWD and 4WD vehicles, electric vehicles, low-clearance vehicles, luxury vehicles, and vehicles with wheel, suspension, or accident damage.
If your vehicle has any of these characteristics, mention it when you call so the appropriate truck can be dispatched.

While waiting for emergency towing in North Vancouver or West Vancouver, take the following steps to stay safe:
Move away from traffic — If the vehicle is on a road or highway, move to a safe distance from moving traffic
Turn on hazard lights — Keep hazard lights on so other drivers can see you
Stay visible but safe — Stay near your vehicle where it is safe to do so, but away from active traffic lanes
Have your details ready — Your location, vehicle make and model, the problem, and your destination
Call from a safe location — If you are on a highway or high-traffic road, call from behind a barrier or guardrail where possible
Emergency towing cost in North Vancouver and West Vancouver is based on your pickup location and the towing distance to your destination. When you call, we ask for your location and destination, calculate the distance, and give you a clear quote before the truck is dispatched.
Vehicle type and condition are also considered — for example, flatbed emergency towing for an AWD vehicle or a collision-damaged car may have different requirements than a standard tow for a vehicle that rolls freely.

What qualifies as an emergency towing situation?
Any situation where your vehicle cannot be safely driven is an emergency towing situation. This includes breakdowns, mechanical failures, accident damage, flat tires with no spare, dead batteries that will not jump-start, or a vehicle stuck in a position where it cannot be safely moved without equipment.
Is emergency towing available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Yes. North Shore Towing provides emergency towing in North Vancouver and West Vancouver 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
What should I tell the dispatcher when I call for emergency towing?
Share your exact location or nearest intersection, your vehicle make and model, whether it is AWD or EV, the issue you are experiencing, whether the vehicle can roll and shift into neutral, and your preferred destination. Complete details allow us to dispatch the right truck and quote the job accurately.
Can you tow a vehicle that is on its side or in a ditch?
Call with the details of the situation. For vehicles in a ditch, off the road, or in a stuck position, winch-out service may be the first step before towing. Tell us the location and condition of the vehicle and we will confirm the appropriate approach.
Do you provide emergency towing for electric or AWD vehicles?
Yes. Mention that your vehicle is electric, hybrid, or AWD when you call. These vehicles often require flatbed emergency towing to avoid drivetrain damage during transport.
How long does emergency towing take to arrive?
Arrival time depends on current location, traffic conditions, road conditions, and the towing situation. Call with your location so we can give you the most accurate information based on availability in your area of North Vancouver or West Vancouver.
