Community-focused towing and scrap car removal in Nanaimo
Hub City Towing & Scrap Car Removal Nanaimo is run by founder Nathan, who brings more than 20 years of experience in towing and scrap car removal to the business. Based on Nanaimo River Road, about 15 minutes from Southgate Mall and Port Place Mall, the company positions itself as a community-driven alternative to larger operators, aiming to solve towing problems in the most cost-effective way rather than adding on extra fees. Services include light towing for accidents and breakdowns, auto lockout assistance, and roadside help such as jump-starts and flat tire changes, all handled from a base close to the two malls for a quick response. The company also removes scrap and junk vehicles, working with local Canadian-owned metal recyclers and sourcing its equipment from Canadian suppliers to keep money in the community; a standing promotion offers a free $10 gas card for every scrap car brought in. Hub City Towing serves Nanaimo and the surrounding region, with phone lines open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Over the years the crew has taken on some unusual recoveries described on the site, including hauling a vehicle up from a lake bed, freeing one from deep in a forest, and recovering a car that had gone over a cliff edge. For anything from a dead battery to a car that needs to disappear for good, this is a locally rooted option for drivers in and around Nanaimo.
