Our goal is simple: provide the safest, most practical solution while making the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
Being involved in an accident can be overwhelming. Our team provides prompt accident recovery services throughout Launceston, helping safely transport damaged vehicles to repairers, insurance providers, storage facilities, or another location of your choice. We regularly assist customers who are unsure what to do after an accident and will explain the process clearly from start to finish.
A breakdown doesn't always mean your vehicle needs to be towed. Where it's safe and practical, we'll first assess whether roadside assistance can get your vehicle moving again. If towing is required, we'll transport your vehicle safely and efficiently to your preferred destination.
Whether you're relocating, purchasing a vehicle interstate, or transporting a vehicle for business purposes, we provide reliable interstate towing services between Tasmania and mainland Australia. Every transport requirement is different, which is why we provide tailored solutions based on your vehicle, destination, and timing requirements.
Recovering a vehicle from an underground car park requires specialist equipment and experience. Our low-clearance towing vehicle allows us to access many underground car parks, apartment buildings, and restricted-height areas that standard tow trucks often cannot reach.
We transport light machinery, equipment, and commercial assets up to 4.5 tonnes throughout Tasmania and interstate. Every load is secured correctly and transported with care to minimise downtime and ensure safe delivery.
If you have an unwanted, damaged, or non-running vehicle, we can arrange prompt and convenient scrap car removal throughout Launceston. Our team will explain the process clearly and help make the removal as straightforward as possible.
