Need A Tow In Nsw

[Winny69r]

Hey guys I'm looking at buying a damaged car from singleton nsw and need it towed to Richmond in the western suburbs. Just wondering if anyone could help me out or knows a cheap tow company. thanks

1) Does your body repairer at Richmond have a good contact at a reasonable rate?

or

2) Can the damaged car be placed under a 24Hr Roadside Service Company like NRMA Premium-Care (not classic care) or Budget Roadside Assist > wait the qualifying period > ask for a tow?

or

3) Yes, an SAU Member with a Truck/Trailer coming up this Sunday 21/7/13 on a Cruise to Singleton > Richmond.

mate the easiest way if you have a towbar, or access to a car with a towbar is to hire a car trailer.....they are about 100/day. I know with the nrma you only get the first 20-25km free, after that its $5/km so quite expensive

I had a car towed from Cessnock back to Fairfield for about $350 which is quite cheap considering. You'll be looking at the 500 mark with First Choice Towing

[Winny69r]

Yeah, thanks guys. It does seem to be around the $500 mark and I really wish I did have a car with a tow ball haha. Terry I love your third option hopefully fingers crossed someone will be heading this way some time

Car carriers are cheap as over long distances but pricey as can be with this travel path it seems.

Just off topic how good is SAU haha.

Great to be able to talk to other car obsessed minds

May seem a silly question here but would a standard turbo skyline be able to tow a car on a trailer without a prob?

Depends on the car being towed. My Auto NA has towed a 34 GTT before, I borrowed my mates custom made tow bar and it was a female dog to fit in. Being a turbo and assuming you have an LSD, I couldn't imagine any problems unless your towing something real heavy. Just don't tow if you have an open diff, a recommendation from experience

it would probably be physically capable of towing it but would (possibly)be legally out of its towing limit weight wise

[Winny69r]

Cool haha yeah just bought an r34 with a kaaz 2 way in it so won't do any damage diff wise. Maybe it's time to get a tow bar made up.

Tow bar on a skyline is going to look funny tho. Might have to pay a bit to tow this other car tho the car is only $900 so paying lots to tow sucks! :b
