| gotta get my car towed
so im towing my car to get the transmission rebuilt. i was just wondering if anyone would know a rough estimate how much it would be to tow the car from aldergrove to new west. yes i will need a flatbed tow due to awd and car height.
anyone know who i should call...i was thinking clover towing but anything helps

Sign up for BCAA, it'll probably cost a comparable price or less to having it towed that far and at least you have ongoing benefits.
The membership that allows 160km tows is $125.

i believe it is $80ish per zone.. it will probably cost about $300 for the whole tow. my car was towed for 3 zones for $230 from north van to surrey. i believe you can negotiate as well! they also might charge you a bit if it's a hassle to get the car on the flat bed. my car was about 2.5" off the ground and it took about an hour to get it on

Do you have Roadside Plus from ICBC? If so, you are allowed to make 2 towing claims I believe. There is a maximum reimbursable amount however.

I talked to a few tow truck drivers, I think it was about $40-60 just to hook up, and $2-2.50 per km.
CAA Plus membership gives you 6 tows per year up to 160km or to the nearest garage each tow. A friend was telling me that his friend had a break down on the alaskan hwy and AAA had to tow him to the nearest garage, something like 600kms away. And the vehicle being towed needs to be insured or appear insured. Put on some plates with valid stickers.
I would tow you but my deck might be too steep and I haven't assembled my ramps yet.

Clover = Best
Clover = Most Expensive
I've researched... best bet for cost is to find a single guy with a truck, or a small company like that CL add

The membership that allows 160km tows is $125. | just don't let the CSR know you need immediate assistance or else there will be a $20 surcharge for "immediate" need. after you sign up you can use it asap afaik

Get BCAA, only problem is you'd have to wait for the memby card i think. Unless they give you a temp number/card.
