I needed a long distance tow from Vernon to New Westminster (425 kms) as my car started having acceleration problems (on hills, or from full stops). I was unable to get the problem solved in Vernon. BCAA arranged for Brian's Towing to do the job as the Vernon contractor didn't have a truck available to go out of town. I called BCAA at 11:00am and by 2:00pm we were on the road. The truck was a flat bed, so my car was secured on the deck. The truck cab was spacious - my friend had the back bench seat to herself, so lots of room to spread out. I was in the front passenger seat, which was an "air ride" - it bounced when we went over bumps so there were no jarring landings. The driver was Wolfgang and he was super nice, friendly, helpful, polite and relaxed. He understood that my friend and I were older and wanted multiple bathroom stops - which usually coincided with brake checks or scales. We also stopped to pick up snacks for the trip. He offered some helpful options as originally I was only going to get the tow as far as the 320 kms which was covered by BCAA, and take my chances on getting the rest of the way. However, the price for the excess distance was very reasonable, compared to other quotes, so I had him tow me all the way home - it was a completely worry free trip. I would highly recommend Brian's Towing and Wolf, the driver, in particular. read more
