Recovery is different from towing. A vehicle in a ditch, on a beach, down a bank or bogged on a work site needs to be pulled back to firm ground carefully before it can be loaded. Our operators assess the anchor points, angle and ground conditions, then use controlled winching to recover the vehicle with minimal further damage.

We recover vehicles for private drivers, insurers, the Police and civil contractors across Auckland and Christchurch, and our radio-controlled TowTrack machines can reach vehicles a truck cannot.

Recovery situations we handle

  • Cars and 4WDs bogged in mud, sand or paddocks
  • Vehicles in ditches, drains and down banks
  • Roll-overs and accident recovery
  • Vehicles stuck in basements and tight car parks
  • Light trucks and vans off the road
