Local towing for every corner of Bridgeport, Richmond, BC
Bridgeport is a small corner of Richmond, BC with a lot going on. It runs from the Fraser River's North Arm down to Bridgeport Rd, and from No. 4 Rd east to the farmland along No. 6 Rd. Inside that, you have quiet family streets in Tait, condo towers on River Drive, warehouses and yards in the north-east industrial area, and the heavy industry of Mitchell Island. We cover all of it with towing services and roadside assistance, day and night.
Each of those places needs a slightly different tow. A driveway in Tait is easy to reach for car towing. A low condo parkade on River Drive needs a low-profile truck or dollies. A work truck on Mitchell Island has one way off the island, over the Knight Street Bridge, so the timing of bridge traffic matters. Breakdowns on Bridgeport Rd and the bridge approaches, at any hour, need a driver who can load quickly and safely beside fast traffic.
That's why Zip Towing works this one Richmond neighbourhood. We're based at 12127 Bridgeport Rd, we know the streets, and we tell you the price before we hook up your car.
