How to Organise 24/7 Emergency Towing

At Trade and General Towing Services in Newcastle, we specialise in providing efficient vehicle recovery services, whether that be from an accident or an on-road breakdown.


This is available for a wide array of vehicles, including cars, motorbikes, boats, caravans, trade equipment and small machinery.
It is important to know how you can contact us and utilise our services for emergency towing  as well as how important it is to have a vehicle towed quickly and safely. This is why our services are available 24 hours a day, all year round.

First, we should highlight why you might need an emergency tow from us: a car accident or a broken-down vehicle

We covered these situations in more detail in a previous blog, three times you would need tow truck services .

We offer this service to get cars safely out of traffic and fixed as soon as possible. It is important to do this as it can be extremely dangerous, for yourself and other drivers, to keep a broken-down car in traffic.

It's also not a task to be carried out on your own – this is where we come in to do all the hard work for you whilst ensuring your safety and the safety of other drivers on the road.

Between 2012 and 2016, a study found that there were 90,159 reported cases of on-road car breakdowns across New South Wales, but rest assured the expert team at Trade and General have valuable experience in this type of emergency towing.

(Study: Sai Chand, ‘Analysis of Vehicle Breakdown Frequency, A Case Study of New South Wales, Australia’, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, 2020).

We are always prepared for you to call us if you have been involved in a vehicle accident or if your car has broken down , but we would like to remind you of the importance of safety in these situations.

Before you call us on (02) 4960 2475 , please make sure that you are in a place of safety and out of harm’s way to other vehicle drivers.

For example, if you are in the middle of the road and require assistance, we would advise that you call the police prior to calling us in order to arrange a safety barrier that ensures the safety of yourself and other drivers.

Available 24/7, we are an authorised towing contractor in the area.
