Towing 101: The Different Types of Towing Services and When to Use Them
No one plans to have their car break down, get into an accident, or end up stuck in a ditch. But when it happens, knowing the right type of towing service can make all the difference. Not all tows are the same, and using the wrong service for your vehicle can lead to delays, damage, or extra costs. Whether you drive a small sedan, a heavy-duty truck, or even a motorcycle, there’s a towing service designed specifically for your needs.
At Aussie Roo Towing, we’re dedicated to providing fast, reliable, and professional towing solutions for all types of vehicles. We aim to take the stress out of unexpected breakdowns and roadside emergencies by ensuring you get the right service at the right time. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve helped countless drivers across Australia get back on the road safely, no matter the situation.
In this guide, we’ll break down the different types of towing services, explain when to use them, and how to ensure your vehicle gets the help it needs fast and hassle-free.
General Towing and Car Park Recovery
General towing covers everyday vehicle transport needs, including breakdowns, relocations, and parking-related issues. This service is ideal for cars that won’t start, vehicles that need to be moved to a repair shop, or situations where space constraints make towing more challenging.
If you ever find yourself stuck in a parking garage with a car that won’t start,
call Aussie Roo Towing. We provide fast, hassle-free general towing and car park recovery, ensuring you're never left stranded. Our tow trucks are equipped with GPS tracking for quick dispatch, so you can count on prompt and efficient rescue
Emergency Towing
When your car breaks down unexpectedly, whether due to a flat tyre, a dead battery, or mechanical failure, you need emergency roadside assistance that responds immediately. Emergency towing is designed for urgent situations where getting off the road quickly and safely is the top priority.
At Aussie Roo Towing, we offer 24/7 emergency towing, so you’re never left waiting for hours. Our team arrives promptly, ready to get you and your vehicle to safety. While other providers might leave you stranded, we pride ourselves on delivering fast, friendly, and reliable service when you need it most.
We also offer accident recovery towing, ensuring your vehicle is safely recovered from the scene and transported to the appropriate location, whether it's a repair shop, insurance company, or storage facility.
Light Truck and Machinery Towing
Towing a standard car is one thing, but when it comes to large vehicles like trucks, buses, or industrial machinery, specialised heavy-duty towing is required. This service uses high-capacity tow trucks designed to handle oversized loads safely and efficiently.
At Aussie Roo Towing, we have the right equipment and expertise to tow heavy vehicles without hassle. Whether you’re dealing with a breakdown or need to relocate large machinery, our team ensures safe and secure transport so you can get back to business with minimal downtime.
Lowered and Prestige Vehicle Towing
Luxury, vintage, and modified vehicles require extra care when being transported. Standard towing methods may not be suitable, as improper handling can cause damage to low-clearance cars. Prestige car towing is a specialised service designed to protect high-value cars from scratches, scrapes, and other transport risks.
We understand how much your vehicle means to you, which is why we offer specialised prestige and lowered vehicle towing. Our modern tow trucks feature a minimal four-degree incline, ensuring smooth, damage-free transport. With us, you can rest easy knowing your pride and joy is in expert hands.
Boat Towing
Boats belong on the water, not stuck on the roadside. Boat towing is essential for transporting vessels safely to marinas, repair shops, or storage locations. Whether you're moving a small fishing boat or a larger watercraft, specialised towing equipment ensures a secure and stable journey.
At Aussie Roo Towing, we provide professional boat towing services, ensuring your vessel gets to its destination safely and securely. No more worrying about whether your boat will make it to its next adventure—we’ll handle the logistics so you can focus on the water.
