Tow Jet Towing
Towing Services in Coquitlam, BC
Coquitlam is one of the most geographically diverse cities in Metro Vancouver, stretching from the busy commercial and retail districts along the Lougheed Highway to the elevated residential communities of Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau. These higher-elevation neighbourhoods feature steep roads, winding streets, and newer developments that can be challenging to navigate, especially during heavy rain, snow, or icy conditions.
Our experienced drivers are highly familiar with Coquitlam’s road network, including newly developed streets on Burke Mountain that may not yet appear accurately in every GPS system. Our dispatch team carefully selects the nearest available tow truck to minimize waiting time and ensure efficient service. Under normal traffic conditions, our average response time to Coquitlam is 30–45 minutes, allowing us to reach drivers quickly when they need professional roadside assistance the most.

Why Coquitlam 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.
