Stanlow dba ArborGreen Tree Care Specialists v. Mitchell’s Towing Ltd. - 2021 BCCRT 74 - 2021-01-21
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionThe applicant, Dylan Stanlow (doing business as ArborGreen Tree Care Specialists), says the respondent, Mitchell’s Towing Ltd. (Mitchell), damaged the steering box of his work truck when it towed the vehicle. [...] It says it properly towed the vehicle to its yard and then to Mr. Stanlow’s preferred body shop. [...] I find that without expert evidence explaining how a tow truck, using the tow method as explained by Mitchell, likely resulted in the steering box failure, I am unable to determine that Mitchell did in fact cause the damage.

Moulson v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 2243 - 2021 BCCRT 579 - 2021-05-28
Strata Property Decisions - Final Decision22. The strata says MP left a notice on the Colt warning that it would be towed. Ms. Moulson disputes that this occurred. Ms. Moulson says Benjamin Towing told her there was no notice on the Colt at the time they towed it. [...] 23. SA arranged for “Benjamin Towing” to tow the Colt. As shown on the submitted invoice, Benjamin Towing towed the Colt on March 13, 2019 at 11:30 am. [...] Instead, I find Ms. Moulson voluntarily paid the towing fees directly to Benjamin Towing on her son’s behalf. So, I find SPA section 135 does not apply to the strata’s decision to tow the Colt.

Krohn v. 1133174 B.C. Ltd. - 2022 BCCRT 222 - 2022-03-01
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionHe claims $260.40 for towing charges he paid, $400 for emotional distress and inconvenience, and $20 he allegedly paid a stranger for a ride to the towing company. [...] During this time, a towing company towed away Mr. Krohn’s vehicle on 113’s standing instructions. [...] I also find that the claimed $260.40 towing fee, shown on a submitted invoice, foreseeably resulted from 113’s instructions to tow vehicles not displaying a visitor parking pass.

Patel v. Egycan Middle Eastern Foods Inc. - 2024 BCCRT 186 - 2024-02-27
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionSunsa Holdings Ltd. (Sunsa) is the parking lot’s property manager, and holds a towing contract with the company that towed Mr. Patel’s vehicle. The towing company is not a party to this dispute. [...] 14. Sunsa denies responsibility for Mr. Patel’s alleged damages, since it undisputedly did not request the tow. Mr. Patel suggests that as the property manager with the towing contract, Sunsa was responsible for any towing events. [...] 25. Mr. Patel submitted an excerpt of the city’s bylaw concerning towing from private parking lots. The excerpt reads: No person shall cause a vehicle to be towed from a private parking lot unless, at the time such vehicle is towed, the required tow away signs are being clearly displayed on the said parking lot.

Agar v. The Owners, Strata Plan BCS 3495 - 2023 BCCRT 973 - 2023-11-09
Strata Property Decisions - Final DecisionIt says the building manager provided notice by putting a towing notice on the car’s windshield, and reasonably towed it some time after that. [...] Before towing the car, BT placed a tow notice on the windshield. The strata says this occurred on February 8, 2023. [...] This was because the applicant voluntarily paid the towing fees directly to the towing company. 32. I agree with the reasoning in Moulson.

Halton v. Atrens - 2022 BCCRT 1123 - 2022-10-13
Small Claims Decisions - Final Decision8. The issue in this dispute is whether Mr. Atrens acted wrongfully in calling to have Mr. Halton’s vehicle towed from strata property, and if so whether Mr. Atrens must reimburse Mr. Halton $262.50 for towing fees. [...] I accept Mr. Halton sustained the claimed $262.50 in towing charges as a result of his vehicle being towed at Mr. Atrens’ request. [...] road contrary to the strata’s bylaws, the strata council “had no part in your vehicle being towed” and that Mr. Atrens had acted “on his own”. 24. Mr. Halton argues that Mr. Atrens told the tow truck driver he was a council member and that the tow was authorized when the strata council did not in fact authorize the tow.

Weller v. The Owners, Strata Plan KAS3638 et al - 2019 BCCRT 706 - 2019-06-10
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionAPM says a tow notice was placed on the truck and on the front door of unit 1108, prior to towing. [...] The strata council contacted Mario’s Towing to tow the truck. At noon, a 24-hour tow notice from Mario’s was placed on the truck. [...] 28. At this point, Ms. Nowell called Mario’s and asked for the truck to be towed. 29. On August 14, 2018 at around 1:30 p.m., the truck was towed by Mario’s Towing, at the request of strata council.

Thompson v. The Owners, Strata Plan EPS3097 - 2024 BCCRT 511 - 2024-06-05
Strata Property Decisions - Final Decisionb. If so, did the strata follow the required procedures before towing the car? c. Did the strata act significantly unfairly when it towed the car? [...] 15. I also note, that contrary to Mr. Thompson’s submissions, the towing receipt he provided in evidence clearly shows that he did not pay the towing cost. [...] In Moulson, the tribunal member found section 135 does not apply to a towing charge when the towing charge is paid directly by the offending vehicle owner, such as is the case here.

Homer Joseph Sinclair (dba Gold River Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning) v. Nielsen - 2020 BCCRT 1167 - 2020-10-16
Small Claims Decisions - Final Decision - Notice of Objection FiledShe says Mr. Sinclair agreed not to charge her for his towing service because he would direct bill BCAA instead. Ms. Nielsen says she does not owe Mr. Sinclair anything for the tow. [...] Mr. Sinclair charged Ms. Nielsen $945 inclusive of GST for his towing services. Ms. Nielsen has not paid anything for the tow. 13. The parties say they verbally discussed payment prior to the tow and agreed to the $945 price. [...] I find it more likely than not that the parties agreed that Ms. Nielsen would pay Mr. Sinclair directly for the tow. 18. Since Ms. Nielsen booked the tow directly through Mr. Sinclair, I find that BCAA was not a party or involved in this towing service agreement.

Chichak v. Town of View Royal - 2024 BCCRT 197 - 2024-02-28
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionMs. Chichak claims reimbursement of the $190. 58 fee she paid the tow truck to release her vehicle before it was towed. View Royal says it was entitled to have Ms. Chichak’s vehicle towed because it was parked contrary to View Royal’s bylaws. [...] It says Ms. Chichak is responsible for the towing fees incurred once it called the tow truck. 3. Ms. Chichak is self-represented. [...] 10. On November 9, 2022, a View Royal bylaw officer arranged to have Ms. Chichak’s vehicle towed from a View Royal street. The tow truck attended. Ms. Chichak’s neighbour told her that her vehicle was in the process of being towed, and Ms. Chichak ran into the street and asked the tow truck driver not to leave with her

Graham v. The Owners, Strata Plan EPS104 - 2020 BCCRT 344 - 2020-03-27
Strata Property Decisions - Final DecisionIt also failed to give him a reasonable opportunity to respond before imposing the towing charge. The strata also provided no receipt to confirm the towing expense. [...] I therefore order the strata to reverse the $258.41 towing charge. Mr. Bunnah’s towing expenses 61. The applicants seek an order that the strata reimburse Mr. Bunnah $833.28 for towing charges. [...] With fines proving in effective, towing was a reasonable way to remedy the contravention. The evidence shows that Mr. Bunnah previously went to great lengths to prevent the strata from towing his VW Bus, including standing in front of the vehicle and preventing the tow truck driver from towing.

Ardeleanu v. Volkswagen Group Canada Inc. et al - 2019 BCCRT 1126 - 2019-09-24
Small Claims Decisions - Final Decision - Notice of Objection FiledFor some reason, it was BCAA who responded to the request and had Coquitlam Towing & Storage Co. Ltd. ("Coquitlam Towing") tow the applicant’s vehicle to Cowell. [...] Representatives at Cowell say they saw Coquitlam Towing tow the vehicle wheels down and that this likely caused the damage. [...] This would engage the other driver’s insurance policy, if it had one, which may or may not cover the tow damage. Although the applicant says Coquitlam Towing’s driver caused the damage, he did not name Coquitlam Towing in this dispute.

Strata Property Decisions - Final DecisionMr. Park says the towing occurred without notice, and was unfair. He requests reimbursement of $232.85 in towing charges he paid to a third party towing company.

Lee v. Thompson - 2023 BCCRT 362 - 2023-05-02
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionFurther, the view of the towing vehicle is partially blocked by another RV parked at the resort. So, although I find the photo shows an RV being towed by what appears to be a black pickup truck, it is difficult to clearly make out the vehicle towing the RV in the photo. [...] 26. Further, although Christopher Thompson does not specifically deny being hired by MD to tow Miss Lee’s trailer, he generally denies towing RVs for money. So, I find Christopher Thompson generally denies having been hired by MD to tow Miss Lee’s RV from the resort. [...] I find how to prepare an RV for towing, what road surfaces are appropriate, and what damage can occur if towed incorrectly, is beyond common knowledge and so requires expert evidence to prove (see Bergen v. Guliker, 2015 BCCA 283).

Compton v. Nanaimo Yacht Club - 2019 BCCRT 450 - 2019-04-12
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionThe applicant’s car was towed from the respondent’s parking lot on February 9, 2018, and the applicant wants the respondent to reimburse him $191.20 for towing charges. [...] explained below, I find it appropriate to consider its provisions in deciding whether the applicant is entitled to reimbursement of his towing fees. ISSUES 8. The issues in this dispute are: a. Is the respondent required to reimburse the applicant’s $191.20 towing charge and the $382.40 towing charges of 2 other members? [...] 26. On the evidence before me I find there is no basis to reimburse the applicant’s towing expense, and I dismiss this claim. 27. The applicant submitted towing invoices for 2 other members and wishes to have the respondent reimburse these members.

Cordero v. The Owners, Strata Plan BCS 1816 - 2020 BCCRT 394 - 2020-04-14
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionThe applicant seeks reimbursement for $280.72 towing charges. 3. The respondent says it was authorized under its bylaws to tow vehicles parked on its premises without a valid parking pass. [...] b. the applicant’s vehicle was towed from the visitor parking space. c. a representative of the respondent’s strata council authorized the towing. [...] I also find that the applicant sustained the claimed damages, namely towing costs of $280.72 and that this was foreseeable and caused by the respondent’s decision to have the applicant’s vehicle towed.

Stevens v. ICBC - 2022 BCCRT 65 - 2022-01-18
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionThe applicant Barbara Stevens collided with a parked tow truck on Highway 16 just outside Vanderhoof BC. The respondent Neal Thiessen was the tow truck driver. [...] 16. Mr. Thiessen’s tow truck was parked at about a 45-degree angle, blocking both lanes of the highway. [...] Mrs. Stevens argues that by parking the tow truck angled west with the amber lights on, the tow truck warned eastbound traffic that the road was closed because the amber lights were in the eastbound lane.

Johnson v. The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2192 - 2020 BCCRT 66 - 2020-01-20
Strata Property Decisions - Final Decisiona. Was the strata permitted to remove the owners’ vehicle by having it towed? b. Did the strata provide the owners’ sufficient notice prior to towing the vehicle? [...] There is also a bylaw amendment filed on September 14, 2017 as CA6297715 that I find applies to future parking use but not to the tow issue, which occurred prior to this bylaw coming into force. Towing and Storage Fees [...] 32. Considering the strata waited so long before towing the owners’ vehicle, I find it would have been courteous of the strata to tell the owners sooner of the tow.

Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionMUNDIE'S TOWING, STORAGE & SERVICE (1976) LTD. RespondentS REASONS FOR DECISION [...] The applicant, Ryan Bazylak, had his motorcycle towed away and stored by the respondent, Mundie’s Towing, Storage & Service (1976) Ltd. (Mundie’s) following a police traffic stop that resulted in a 7-day impoundment. [...] Even if it did, the document only requires a tow truck operator to record “the condition of the vehicle, including a description of any damage”.
