Why Hire A Professional Towing Service
When your vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident, choosing the right towing service makes all the difference. Professional towing ensures your vehicle is handled safely, transported efficiently, and protected from damage.
Local Towing vs Long-Distance - Which One Do I Need?

Distance: Generally, local towing is for areas within a 50-75 km radius.
-
Application: It is suitable for breakdowns, accidents, flat tires, and vehicle repairs.
-
Cost: It is more affordable because of the short distance.
Long Distance
-
Distance: Generally, long-distance towing is for areas over 100 km or more.
-
Application: This is ideal if the car is far from the city or has to be sent to a distant location, such as a new home or a specific car dealership.
-
Cost: The cost tends to be higher because of the longer travel times and resources used.
