Vancouver Towing Company
You Can Trust, 24/7
Essential Towing is the Vancouver towing company drivers count on for emergency towing and roadside assistance — licensed, insured, and available around the clock, every day of the year.
Vancouver Towing Company: Fast, Licensed, Available 24/7
Essential Towing is the Vancouver towing company drivers call when things go wrong — a dead battery in a Kitsilano driveway, a breakdown on Highway 1 near Burnaby, or a collision on the Lions Gate Bridge. Whatever the situation, our dispatchers match you with the right truck the moment you call.
We're also the only towing company in Vancouver with our own in-house mechanic shop, so a breakdown doesn't have to mean two separate calls — we can tow your vehicle and get it repaired without ever handing you off to someone else.
Every driver on our team is licensed, insured and trained to handle everything from a five-minute battery boost to a multi-vehicle accident recovery, day or night, 365 days a year.
