Geelong & District Towing
Oh no!
Battery’s dead.
Of course it’s happened at the worst time possible. You really don’t need the hassle today of all days.
Who should you call?
Towing companies have a shocking reputation. You’ve heard the horror stories. Your mate got slugged with ridiculous release charges the last time he got a tow.
You’ve seen cars getting towed on their wheels. A good way to mess up someone’s car. There no way you’re getting anywhere near a business that uses dodgy towing techniques.
How do you find a towing company that’s quick, will take great care of your car, and won’t extort you with ridiculous fees to get it where it needs to go?
4 Common mistakes when looking for a good towing company
Mistake 1: Not asking if they run around the clock
Is the towing company closing in 5 minutes? Beware. You could be slugged with crazy after-hours towing fees. Or worse, left stranded.
Avoid the stress and cost. Choose a Geelong towing company that runs around the clock. This will give you a more reliable response team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Mistake 2: Not doing a little homework
A towing company that’s been around the block for many years are still here for a reason. Otherwise they’d go out of business. There are exceptions of course. But longevity is one reassuring sign of a good towing company who will come through for you when you need it most.
Mistake 3: Forgetting to ask how far they service
A towing company that has a 20km service distance is no use if your car needs to be dropped off at your mechanic 80km away. Look for a Geelong towing company with multiple depots and services long distance, such as 100km or more.
Mistake 4: Not confirming your quote
Beware of towing companies that sneakily pack on the hidden costs. Ask for a quote and you should expect to pay for exactly that amount (or very close to it).
Check for release charges, after hours fees (if it doesn’t run 24/7), and emergency call out fees. You shouldn’t have to fork out for a professional, reliable, tow, no matter how urgently you need them.
Bonus tip: Check in with your insurance company
Your friends and family might recommend a Geelong towing company they’ve used before. But how often have they actually used the company?
Your insurance company has a list of Geelong towing providers they recommend to their customers every day. You’ll have a better chance of getting a reliable, reasonably priced tow if you use a company recommended by your insurance company.
They are likely to be more professional as they will be held accountable for their service - if there are any problems, you can easily take it up with your insurance company.
