Accident Towing When Safety Comes First
An accident can leave a vehicle with damage that is not always obvious. A car may still start, but that does not necessarily mean it is safe to drive. Problems with steering, suspension, wheels, brakes, or bodywork can make continuing your journey dangerous.
Professional accident towing is useful when:
- The vehicle cannot be driven
- An airbag has deployed
- Wheels or suspension have been damaged
- The vehicle is blocking a road
- Fluids are leaking
- The steering or brakes are affected
- Police or emergency services have advised that the vehicle should be moved
- You need the vehicle transported to a repairer
What should you do after an accident?
First, move yourself and your passengers away from immediate danger where possible. Turn on hazard lights and follow directions from emergency services. Avoid attempting to drive a seriously-damaged vehicle simply because it still starts.
Once the scene is safe, contact a professional towing provider like 24hr Bankstown Towing and explain the condition of the vehicle. This allows the operator to prepare appropriate equipment before arriving.
Breakdown Towing Without the Guesswork
A breakdown can happen anywhere. Your vehicle might lose power on the way to work, refuse to start outside a shopping centre, or stop while you are travelling home.
Breakdown towing can help when roadside trouble cannot be safely or easily resolved.
Common reasons for calling include:
- Engine failure
- Battery problems
- Overheating
- Transmission faults
- Electrical issues
- Flat tyres
- Fuel-related problems
- Starter motor failure
- Vehicles that suddenly lose power
Continuing to drive while a warning light is flashing or the engine is making unusual noises can turn a small fault into a much larger repair. If you are unsure whether the vehicle is safe to drive, stopping and arranging professional recovery can be the wiser choice.
Your Insurance May Be Part of the Solution
After an accident, the towing process can sometimes be connected to your insurance claim. Your insurer may have specific requirements about where the vehicle should be taken, which towing providers can be used, or how recovery costs are handled.
Our insurance towing service can assist vehicle owners who need their damaged vehicle collected and transported as part of an insurance-related situation.
Before the tow, it is useful to have:
- Your insurer's details
- Your policy or claim information, if available
- The vehicle's registration number
- The accident location
- The preferred repairer or destination
- Any instructions already provided by your insurer
Insurance coverage varies between policies. Some policies may cover towing following an insured incident, while others may have conditions, limits, or preferred providers. Always confirm the details with your insurer.
Looking for a Tow Truck Near You? Here’s What Matters
Typing a tow truck near you into a search engine is easy. Choosing the right towing service requires a little more thought.
When comparing towing providers, consider:
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| 24/7 availability | Breakdowns and accidents can happen at any hour |
| Experience | Experienced operators understand different recovery situations |
| Towing equipment | The right truck can reduce the risk of vehicle damage |

Why Tilt Tray Towing Can Be a Smart Choice
Some vehicles are better transported on a tilt tray rather than being pulled behind a truck. This can be particularly useful when the vehicle has significant damage, cannot roll normally, or needs careful transportation.
Tilt tray towing may be suitable for:
- Accident-damaged cars
- Prestige vehicles
- Show cars
- Non-running vehicles
- Certain 4WDs
- Auction vehicles
- Vehicles requiring longer-distance transport
More Than Emergency Recovery
Vehicle transport
Bought a vehicle through Pickles, Grays or another auction? We can assist with collection and transport.
Machinery transport
Our towing and transport capabilities can extend to equipment such as bobcats and forklifts, depending on size, weight, and access requirements.
Car removal
Have an old vehicle that is no longer worth repairing? We can help remove unwanted and non-working cars. Depending on the vehicle, you may also be eligible to receive cash for it.
What Can Affect Towing Time and Price?
- Your exact location
- Traffic conditions
- Time of day
- Vehicle size and condition
- Type of towing equipment required
- Distance to the destination
- Accident recovery complexity
- Accessibility of the vehicle
For an accurate estimate, provide as much information as possible when you call. Photos may also help explain the vehicle’s condition if they can be shared safely.
