24/7 Car Towing Across Sydney
When your vehicle breaks down or needs relocating, Select Tilt Tray Group provides prompt, damage-free car towing across Sydney.
We prioritise urgent roadside breakdowns and time-sensitive vehicle transport, with rapid dispatch and clear communication from start to finish. Our experienced operators use modern tilt tray equipment to ensure every vehicle is handled safely and securely.
From emergency roadside recovery to scheduled transport, we deliver dependable service backed by decades of experience. If your car has broken down, our roadside assistance team can attend on the spot, and our guide on how to prepare your car for towing explains what to do before we arrive.
Our Car Towing Services
Our team covers the five jobs that make up almost every car towing call we take across Sydney. Every job runs through the same process: clear pricing on the call, the nearest available truck on the way as soon as possible, and tilt tray loading that keeps your vehicle fully off the road from collection through to drop-off. Whatever the situation, you talk to a real operator before we move.

Vehicles We Tow
Our Sydney-based team safely transports a wide range of vehicles, including:
- Passenger cars
- 4WDs (four-wheel drive) and SUVs
- Prestige and performance vehicles
- Fleet and company cars
- Motorsport vehicles
- Light machinery such as vans, forklifts and bobcats
Heavier four-wheel drives are towed on the same tilt tray equipment, and the 4WD tow truck we send is matched to the weight and wheelbase of the vehicle so it sits level and fully supported.
Damaged and undriveable vehicles are recovered the same way, with controlled winching and rated wheel straps. Electric vehicles (EV) are lifted fully off the ground, which is the manufacturer-preferred method for almost every EV sold in Australia.
Every vehicle is loaded on a tilt tray, a hydraulic platform that lowers to road level, so nothing is towed under its own wheels.
Common Car Towing Scenarios
Most calls we take fall into one of five situations. Knowing which one matches yours helps us send the right truck the first time.
Your car won’t start
Our team responds to flat batteries, starter motor failures and electrical faults daily. We load the vehicle on a tilt tray and transport it directly to your mechanic, home or dealership.
Stuck in a basement or restricted-access car park
Low ceilings, tight ramps and height bars are factored in before we leave the yard. Share the clearance height and the floor your car is on, and we will allocate a truck profiled for the space.
Undriveable after a knock or roadside incident
For damaged or undriveable vehicles, we coordinate with insurers, assessors and panel repairers, then deliver to your nominated repairer, your home or our secure storage facility at Smeaton Grange.
Pre-purchase collection, dealer transfer or private sale
We collect from private sellers, regional dealers, auction sites and storage yards across Sydney and regional NSW. Tilt tray loading with a low-angle approach protects ground clearance on prestige, lowered and freshly purchased cars.
Electric vehicle out of charge or in fault mode
EVs need all four wheels off the ground to protect the motor and regenerative braking system. Our tilt tray and flatbed trucks are the manufacturer-preferred method, and we collect from charging bays, roadside locations and home garages.
How Car Towing Works
Five steps from the call to the drop-off:
- Call or request a quote: Tell us your pickup suburb, destination, and the make, model and condition. Include access notes if you have them.
- We confirm the price and timing: You get a clear, upfront quote and an estimated arrival time on the call, with the right truck type confirmed for the job.
- The nearest truck is dispatched: The closest available operator is sent directly and stays in contact en route.
- Loading on a tilt tray or flatbed: Our operator inspects the vehicle, then winches and loads on a hydraulic platform with rated straps securing each wheel.
- Delivery to your destination: We unload at your mechanic, dealership, home, panel repairer or our Smeaton Grange storage yard.
For urgent breakdowns, we prioritise fast response times wherever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to tow a car in Sydney?
Car towing costs in Sydney vary depending on distance, vehicle type, time of day, and access conditions. A short local tow will typically cost less than long-distance or complex jobs such as underground car parks.
What is the minimum cost for a tow?
The minimum cost usually applies to a standard local tow within a set distance during regular hours. Pricing may increase for after-hours service, longer distances, or restricted access. Contact our team to confirm the minimum rate based on your location.
What is the cheapest way to tow a car?
The most cost-effective option is typically a standard local tow during normal operating hours with easy vehicle access. Ensuring the car is accessible and ready for collection can also help reduce delays and additional charges. Choosing an experienced, fully insured towing provider helps avoid damage that could lead to higher costs later.
How do I get a car towed in Sydney?
Getting your car towed is simple:
- Call 02 9545 3464.
- Provide your location, vehicle type, and destination.
- We confirm pricing and dispatch the nearest available tow truck.
You’ll receive an estimated arrival time and updates throughout the process.
How quickly can a tow truck reach me in Sydney?
For urgent breakdowns, we aim to reach most Sydney locations within 30-60 minutes, depending on traffic and distance. Response times can vary during peak periods, but we prioritise emergency roadside calls wherever possible.
Do you operate 24/7 car towing in Sydney?
Yes. We provide 24-hour car towing across Sydney, including weekends and public holidays, for both emergency and scheduled vehicle transport.
Can you tow a car out of an underground or restricted-access car park?
Yes. We recover vehicles from underground, undercover and gated car parks across Sydney. When you call, share the lowest clearance height on the access route, the floor your car is on, and any site access details. We’ll allocate a truck that fits the space and brief the operator before they arrive.
Do you tow electric vehicles?
Yes. Almost every EV sold in Australia must be transported with all four wheels off the ground to protect the motor and regenerative braking system. Our tilt tray and flatbed trucks are the manufacturer’s preferred methods. We collect from charging bays, roadside locations and home garages and deliver to a service centre, dealership or charger.
