A Family Business

The Newton family has been in the transportation industry for three generations. Owner Ken Newton’s dedication to the industry has spanned over 46 years.

Ken’s son, Kevin, grew up helping his dad around the shop. It wasn’t long after graduating from high school that Kevin enrolled at BCIT in the Commercial Transport Apprenticeship Program. He apprenticed at Dawson Truck Repairs Ltd and has been working full-time alongside his dad since 2001.

Dawson’s History

The original building was located at 4180 Dawson Street in Burnaby when Dawson Repairs Ltd was first purchased in 1995. The name was legally changed to Dawson Truck Repairs Ltd in 1996, and the shop operated in that location until April of 2005 when the building was torn down to make room for the increasing residential demand in the area.
We have called 4970 Still Creek Avenue in Burnaby home for the past 13 years and we look forward to many more years of dedicated service to the area we know and love.
