    A broken-down vehicle in the middle of nowhere can be a nightmare when you're stranded. When you're in need of breakdown assistance, it's hard to find an experienced company that doesn't take advantage of your vulnerability and charge far more than they promised.

  • How do I know what my tow or roadside assistance fee will be?

    There’s no one answer for how much a tow or roadside assistance service will cost before your situation is assessed. The fee will depend on a number of factors, including your vehicle’s type, make, and model, and what needs to be done.


    Thankfully, you won’t need to play any guessing games when it comes to service fees. Our estimators will be upfront about any expected costs before the tow or repairs begin. 


    To give you a general idea, the cost of towing a vehicle in Sydney averages around $150 to $400. Of course, these numbers can vary significantly depending on the factors above—but at Trade & General Towing, we always guarantee a fair and competitive price.

  • How can I book a breakdown tow or roadside assistance service?

    Booking a breakdown town or roadside assistance service with Trade & General Towing is easy. Once you’re at a safe location on the side of the road (and there’s no risk of being hit by another vehicle), simply pick up the phone and give us a call on 4960 2475. 


    Alternatively, you can contact us online to find out more about our services and how we can help you. We respond to all online messages as soon as possible.

  • How does the towing process work?

    Our breakdown towing service is simple and straightforward. When you call for emergency assistance, we’ll dispatch our nearest available truck to your location. Based on the details that you provide we will be able to advise you on how much you can expect to pay—so you won’t be faced with any nasty surprises or unexpected fees.


    After we arrive at your location, we’ll assess the vehicle, load it, and take it to the location you choose. In the event of a traffic accident, we can take your car to your insurer’s mechanic of choice.

  • What’s included in your roadside assistance service?

    If you’ve come to a halt on the side of the road, our roadside assistance technicians are here to help. We offer a range of services to help your vehicle get back on the road quickly and safely, including:


    • Changing flat tyres
    • Filling your tank
    • Jumpstarting a dead battery
    • Key recovery

    If you haven’t had a roadside assistance service before, don’t worry. The process is simple and easy. 


    When you first call us for help, we’ll start by determining if we can help you solve the problem or if a tow is likely necessary.


    We’ll send out one of our experienced, trained service technicians to your location to perform any fixes necessary. If repair isn’t possible on the spot, we’ll tow your vehicle to the closest mechanic or to another location of your choice.


    These services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whether you’re in a rural or residential area. We’ll even help if you’re parked outside of your home ready to head to work and find your car won’t start!

  • What happens if I need a tow but my mechanic is closed?

    If you need a tow on a weekend or outside of working hours and your mechanic is closed, don’t worry! We can tow your vehicle to another location of your choice.


    Alternatively, if repairs are necessary, we can store your vehicle at our secure depot and transport it to your mechanic as soon as it reopens.
