| Good Tow Company?
Anyone recommend a good tow company within Vancouver area that can handle lowered cars and not scratch wheels. Doesn't matter flatbed or not, as long as the job is done right.

I used advance towing about 2 months ago to flatbed my car. The driver caused damage to my front bumper with the cable while loading, and then more damage when my lip hit the bed of the flat deck when unloading because he didnt have boards under the wheels. Company has denied any wrong doing, Im still fighting it out with them.
Think twice before using Advance towing.

drake towing actually isn't bad for private jobs. ask for a flat deck and make sure you're there when the car is loaded or unloaded. but generally they are pretty reputable and are often used by new car dealers. but they aren't cheap-- standard tow rates apply.

I used Roadway towing once, but a great experience and my car at the time was slammed. The guy took real good care of it and was super careful with everything.

Avoid Nats Towing, unless you dont have keys, insurance papers, proof of ownership, or any legal way to enter the car... oh and pay cash so there is not trail either... and make sure you do it at 2:30am on a weekend, to an address with no visible names or direct address. and have him bring the car to you!
Just saying...
