Salvage & Recovery Towing on the Central Coast

Salvage and recovery towing is needed when vehicles cannot be moved through standard towing methods. This includes situations such as vehicles bogged in mud, rolled over in an accident, stuck off-road, stranded in floodwaters or positioned in unsafe locations. Recovery towing uses specialised equipment and experienced operators to carefully extract the vehicle while reducing the risk of further damage. Professional recovery services are trained to handle difficult conditions that general towing may not be able to manage.

Yes, salvage towing is designed for a wide range of vehicles, including 4WDs, light trucks and SUVs. Because these vehicles often travel through remote or challenging terrain, they are more likely to require recovery services. Recovery operators use heavy-duty winches, tilt trays and recovery vehicles equipped to handle different sizes and weights. This ensures even larger vehicles can be retrieved safely from situations where normal towing would not be possible, such as steep tracks or boggy conditions.

Some insurance policies include coverage for salvage and recovery towing, but it depends on the type of policy and the circumstances of the incident. Comprehensive car insurance is more likely to cover recovery services compared to third-party policies. It is best to check your policy documents or contact your insurer directly to confirm coverage. If recovery is covered, your insurer may reimburse costs or arrange an approved provider to handle the job. Always clarify before booking.
