Quick answer: if your car won’t start in a YVR parkade or breaks down on Sea Island, call or text 604-265-5888. We’re based in Richmond, a short drive from the airport. Tell us which lot or parkade you’re in, and the level and stall number if you have them.
Coming back from a trip to a car that won’t start is a common problem at Vancouver International Airport. A battery that sat in the cold for a week, lights left on, or a flat tire can all leave you stuck.
Dead battery after a trip
This is the most common call we get at the airport. A battery boost usually gets you going in minutes. If the battery won’t hold a charge, we can tow the car to your mechanic.
Parkades and low clearance
Airport parkades have height limits, and a flatbed may not fit inside. If your car needs a tow from a parkade, it may need to be pushed or winched to a level where the truck can reach it. Tell us:
- Which parkade or lot you’re in
- The level and stall number
- Whether the car rolls and steers
Breakdowns on the way to YVR
If you break down on the Arthur Laing Bridge, the Dinsmore Bridge, Grant McConachie Way or Highway 99, get as far off the road as you can, turn on your hazards and stay safe. Read staying safe while you wait for a tow.
Rental cars
If you’re in a rental, call the rental company first. Most have their own roadside service and may not reimburse a tow you arrange yourself.
Cars shipped through the airport
We also move vehicles to and from cargo and import facilities. See imported vehicle transport.
