Bringing in a car from Japan, the US or overseas? City Tow Truck picks up newly imported vehicles from port terminals, customs brokers and import yards around Greater Vancouver and delivers them by flatbed to your home, inspection facility or shop — no driving an unregistered car on the road.
How it works
Because the car is carried, not driven, you don't need temporary plates or insurance just to get it home from the port.
Paperwork such as customs, the RIV process and provincial inspection are handled by you or your broker — we look after the transport.
“I cannot thank you enough for picking up my Aristo from the port with such short notice. Another company had 24 hours notice and I still waited hours and hours and they canceled last minute.”
FAQ

Yes. We can deliver to a Designated Inspection Facility or any shop you choose so the car can be inspected before registration.
Yes — non-running and right-hand-drive cars are common. Tell us if the wheels or steering are locked so we bring skates.
It depends on the pickup location, the drop-off and any waiting time at the facility. We quote the total upfront.
