What’s Included
Professional accident recovery with full insurance coordination.
We assess the safest approach to recovering your vehicle and use appropriate equipment — flatbed, winch, or wheel-lift — based on the damage and position of the vehicle.
We work with all major Australian insurers. We provide itemised documentation and can tow directly to your insurer’s preferred repairer or an approved storage facility.
If your vehicle can’t go directly to a repairer, we can arrange secure storage while you work through the insurance process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I call 000 or a tow truck first after an accident?
Always call 000 first if anyone is injured, if the vehicle is blocking traffic, or if you feel unsafe. Once the immediate emergency is handled, call us on (03) 4422 2135. We’ll work around police and ambulance on scene and get there as soon as we’re cleared to recover the vehicle.
Will you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We work with all major Australian insurers including RACV, NRMA, GIO, Allianz, QBE, and others. Let us know your insurer when you call and we’ll handle the documentation. We can tow to your insurer’s preferred repairer or an approved storage facility depending on your policy requirements.
My car is undriveable and sitting at an awkward angle — can you still recover it?
Yes. Our flatbed trucks have full winch capability, allowing us to recover vehicles from difficult positions — off-road, in ditches, at unusual angles, or with severe damage. We assess the safest approach on arrival and explain what we’re going to do before we proceed.
Can you recover more than one vehicle from the same accident?
Yes — if multiple vehicles need recovery from the same accident scene, call us and we’ll coordinate to send the appropriate number of trucks. We work efficiently to clear the scene as quickly as possible.
What happens to my car if it’s a write-off?
If your insurer assesses the vehicle as a write-off, the vehicle will typically be stored and then disposed of through the insurer’s process. We can tow to an approved storage facility while this is being determined. We can advise on the general process, but the specific decisions are made by your insurer.
