We’re honest — driver will be approximately 50 minutes from Surrey. We advise you to stay in the vehicle on the highway shoulder.

Why Abbotsford Drivers Trust Tow Jet Towing
Every driver who responds to your call holds a current WreckMaster certification — the industry standard for towing and recovery training in North America. Your vehicle is handled by someone who knows which tie-down points are safe on your specific vehicle type.
We don't guess where our trucks are. Our dispatcher sees every truck in real time and sends the closest one. You get a genuine ETA based on actual GPS distance and current traffic conditions — not a window, a real time.
Wheel-lift towing is appropriate for recovery scenarios — not standard towing. All passenger vehicles, including AWD, 4WD, and electric vehicles, are transported on flatbed at Tow Jet Towing.
