Towing in Metrotown, Burnaby: Know Where You Are
Metrotown is one of the busiest parts of Burnaby, and that is exactly why a breakdown here can get complicated. Kingsway, Willingdon Avenue, Patterson Avenue and Imperial Street carry heavy traffic through the day, the Metrotown town centre sits just south of Kingsway, and Central Park stretches west to Boundary Road. When your car quits in the middle of all that, Ryde Towing wants to reach you on the first try.
The fastest way to help us is to know where you are. A cross street works best, like Kingsway at Willingdon or Imperial at Patterson. Inside a parkade? Give us the entrance you used, the level and your stall number. Near a SkyTrain station or a tower? Tell us its name. Pulled over beside Central Park? Its main entrance is off Kingsway near Patterson, so say so and our driver skips the extra loop around the block.
Next, tell us what you drive and what happened. An all-wheel-drive SUV, an electric car or a lowered car should ride on a flatbed tow truck. A dead battery in a tower garage usually needs a battery boost rather than a tow, and a low-clearance ramp calls for underground towing gear. Locked out at Metropolis at Metrotown with your shopping bags? Our lockout service gets you back in without damaging the door.
Finally, tell us where the vehicle needs to go: your home, your mechanic, a body shop or a dealer. With those four details we plan the right truck for your towing in Metrotown call and give you the price on the phone before we hook up. Ryde Towing keeps it simple, so Metrotown drivers and neighbours in the South Slope and the Burnaby streets around it get back on the road with less stress.

Stuck in the Metropolis at Metrotown Parking Lot?
Metropolis at Metrotown is the largest mall in the province, and a steady stream of cars rolls in and out of its parkades all day. With that much coming and going, breakdowns happen. Ryde Towing gets a lot of calls that start with "I just finished shopping and my car won’t…"
Most parking lot problems are quick to sort out. A dead battery after leaving the headlights or dome light on gets a battery boost right in the stall. A tire that went flat while you shopped gets your spare put on with our tire change service. A car loaded with bags that suddenly won’t start gets checked first, then boosted or towed.
Bigger problems need a truck. Engine or transmission trouble, a mechanical fault that stops the car from starting, or a scrape with another car or a parkade pillar all mean a tow. We load it with care and take it to a repair shop in Burnaby, your home or the dealer.
Blocked in by another driver? Start with mall security, since the property manager decides whether a parked car gets moved. If it is your own car that needs help, call Ryde.
- Dead battery after leaving the lights on
- Flat tire in the parkade or the lot
- Car full of shopping that won’t start
- Engine or transmission trouble
- A fender-bender in the lot or on the ramp

Accident Recovery and Collision Towing Near Kingsway
Collisions happen on Kingsway, Central Boulevard and the busy intersections around Metropolis, from Willingdon Avenue to McKay Avenue. When a car can’t be driven after a crash, Ryde Towing clears it from the scene and moves it somewhere safe, so the road opens up again.
First, check that everyone is okay and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Turn on your hazards. If the car still moves and it is safe to do so, get it out of the live lane. Then call us with the cross street and tell us what is damaged.
A damaged car rides on a flatbed, so a bent wheel, a hanging bumper or a leaking part does not get worse on the way. If it has left the road or is wedged against a curb, winch recovery pulls it clear first. We take it to the body shop or repair yard you choose. Need to open a claim? Start it with ICBC claims.
- A car that can’t be driven after a collision
- Damaged wheels, axles or suspension
- A vehicle off the road or against a curb
- A tow to the body shop you choose
- More in recovery in Metrotown
