Vehicle breakdowns are our most common type of call-out, and our specialty. Whether your car is new or old, they can all fail. When your car lets you down, give us a call and we’ll get you to your preferred repairer with a minimum of fuss. If you’re not sure where to take it, we can recommend a number of great automotive specialists to get your vehicle sorted. And of course, we’ll give you a ride to the workshop, or back home if it’s not too far away.

Crash Recovery

If you’ve been involved in a traffic crash and need a tow, you’re already through the hardest part. We can recover your vehicle from the road, ditch, fence, barn or whatever you’ve landed into, and transport it to where it needs to go. Be guided by your insurer on what to do next. If you’re not insured, we can transport your vehicle to our yard or another suitable place you choose. Crashes are stressful so we aim to ease the burden by working with you and providing flexible options.

Tip: Remember to exchange details with the other party if involved in a traffic crash.

Safety first: Call 000 in an emergency. Stay off the road and away from traffic, be mindful of your surroundings and watch out for debris, chemicals, undeployed airbags and live wires.

Insurance

We’re insured for the work we do. It takes a complicated suite of insurance products to operate confidently in today’s towing world - from On-Hook, Transit, Marine, non-motorised plant & equipment and Public Liability.

We can tow most things within our scope and insurance coverage, but not everything. If you have a $2M Bugatti, we can refer you to another provider. If you have a high-end prestige vehicle that needs transport, we’ll steer you in the right direction.

No matter what we tow, we treat your property with the greatest of care.
