Professional towing services offer a safe and efficient solution, ensuring that your car is transported without any additional harm. Our trained operators at Trade & General Towing follow strict safety protocols to ensure that your vehicle reaches its destination securely, whether it’s a repair shop, your home or our secure storage facility.

We are authorised towing contractors for all major insurance companies, ensuring a hassle-free process for our customers. If you’re unable to contact your insurer immediately, we can tow your vehicle to our secure depot for safekeeping until you’re ready to proceed with your insurance claim.

Dependable Breakdown Towing in Newcastle

A car breakdown can happen at any time and often at the most inconvenient moments. Whether your engine fails, your battery dies or you experience another mechanical issue, you need a reliable towing service to get you and your vehicle to safety.

We will tow your vehicle to the nearest repair shop or your preferred location, minimising the disruption to your day. Our fleet includes dual cab tilt tray tow trucks with seating for up to six passengers, so you and your family won’t be left stranded.

Emergency Roadside Assistance

Not all vehicle problems require a tow. Sometimes, a quick fix can get you back on the road without needing to transport your vehicle. That’s why we offer roadside assistance services, including:

Battery jump starts
Flat tyre changes
Fuel delivery for empty tanks

If your car’s issue is something we can’t fix on the spot, our comprehensive breakdown towing in Newcastle will ensure your vehicle reaches a mechanic safely.

Safety First: What to Do While Waiting for a Tow

If you experience a breakdown or an accident, your safety is the top priority. Follow these steps while waiting for our towing service:

Move your vehicle to a safe location if possible. If you can, steer your car off the road to avoid obstructing traffic and reduce the risk of further incidents.
Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers. This is essential in low visibility conditions, such as nighttime or bad weather, to keep yourself and others safe.
Stay inside your vehicle if it is safe to do so. Exiting your car on a busy road can be dangerous, so only step out if you are in a secure location.
If you are in a hazardous position (such as the middle of the road), call emergency services for assistance. They can help direct traffic and ensure the scene remains as safe as possible.

Contact Trade & General Towing for fast and reliable towing support. Our team will dispatch a tow truck promptly and keep you updated on arrival times to ease your stress.

Our Breakdown Towing Services

Most people experience this at some time or other. You’re driving along and suddenly your car sputters and dies. Or it starts making a funny sound, so you pull over it won’t start back up.

We offer handy towing services that help get your car out of traffic and to the repair shop or your house so it can be fixed.

Roadside Assistance

In addition to our general towing services, we also offer roadside assistance for basic repairs.

These problems are inconvenient and frustrating, but calling for towing services will get you back on the road a lot faster.

If it’s a problem we can’t fix, we’ll tow your vehicle to a repair shop.
