Efficient Service, Local Knowledge
Towing in and around Coffs Harbour means dealing with a wide variety of settings—from commercial areas to residential streets, multi-level car parks and rural outskirts. Our process starts by confirming the vehicle type, condition and location so we can assign the right truck and gear. We use tilt trays for most jobs and carry skates, winches and compliant restraint tools for difficult access or immobile vehicles.
Operators are trained to load vehicles from tight spaces and inclined surfaces without compromising safety or equipment. Once loaded, vehicles are secured using load-rated straps and monitored throughout transport. We provide updates where needed and include basic documentation at drop-off, especially helpful for customers working with insurers or repairers.
Our job planning considers timing, traffic and access limitations within the Coffs Harbour area. Every tow is approached with a focus on consistency, safety and practical support. The result is a well-organised service adapted to meet local conditions and expectations.
Is it possible to tow a vehicle from an underground car park?
Towing from underground or multistorey car parks is possible but requires careful planning. The tow truck must have enough clearance to enter, and in some cases, the operator may need to manually reposition or winch the vehicle out to a location the truck can access. Low ceilings, tight ramps, and sharp corners can all affect feasibility. If the vehicle is in park or has locked wheels, additional equipment like skates or dollies might be needed. Always give specific access details when booking to avoid delays.
Can a car be towed without keys?
Yes, but towing a vehicle without keys is more complex and often slower. If the steering is locked or the transmission is engaged, it may not roll or steer properly, requiring skates, winching, or lift tools to load it safely. Some vehicles also need to be manually released from parking gear, which isn’t always possible without entry. Operators will usually request proof of ownership and may ask for written permission, especially if the job involves private property. Let the provider know in advance so they bring the correct equipment.
What if my tow is part of an insurance claim?
If your tow is covered under an insurance policy—such as after an accident or a mechanical failure—you’ll typically need to contact your insurer first or use their preferred provider. In some cases, the insurer will reimburse towing costs if you choose your own operator, but this must be arranged in advance. Most insurers require a clear receipt, vehicle condition report, and documentation of where the vehicle was taken. If the situation is urgent, towing can usually proceed while paperwork is handled in parallel. Always keep records to help with the claims process.
