Hi guys and girls (Happy Mother's day!! )

I have a van stuck on Quadra.
Can someone give me some ideas for getting it out?
It needs to be towed, and I'm trying to get it out without blowing a pile of cash..
So far the cheapest solution seems to be renting a trailer from uhaul, but that means a day lost to this adventure..

Does anyone know someone with a flatdeck or a trailer who perhaps comes over to the mainland empty?
It would be a good route filler to bring the van over..

Or any other ideas for bringing it over would be greatly appreciated.

-the van is NOT fixable onsite.

Cheers

Try calling a trailer transport co. to see if they have slots to fill, or maybe a private tow truck owner, or similarly a privately owned transport truck of some kind (craigslist kijiji)

GL!

Thanks, Yes that was my first thought.
I emailed and called all the towing companies in Campbell River, there is also one tow truck guy on Quadra, but he said he doesn't get out much..
The other one I think is called Coastal, from CR. The guys said it mostly depends on luck and scheduling.

I think I might just end up renting a trailer from Uhaul...

Hey,
BCAA plus is good(1tow 160km). The premier memebership even better.(2tows 320km)
I am not sure exactly what the policy is with ferries.
They are not huge fans of signing up and immediately getting a tow,
but I have done it.

You wanna get it home or to a shop?
Where is home?

Glen at CCauto on occasion will go get a vehicle
on the mighty CCauto flatdeck.This of course
is for customers that will be getting work done.

Good Luck!

quadra is an awesome spot eh?

BCAA has areas with no service.
Once I got stuck on Pender with a dead battery, and they just told me "sorry, we don't service that area" and i have the premium with RV, most bad-ass expensive membership..
So I never even bothered calling them, especially that I'd have to be present for them to tow it.

Uhaul trailer is your best bet.. i had a situation like this.. however i was on Cortes Island... it was a long day getting back.. all the towing guys that are on the island are useless..

ok thanks.
I was leaning towards uhaul, especially after talking to BCAA...They do NOT like anything off the beaten trail.
