All Points Automotive and Towing

Did you know that Australia has a special designation for vehicles used primarily to transport vehicles involved in accidents?

Ernest Holmes, the inventor of the original tow truck in 1916, didn’t stop there. After patenting his invention, he began manufacturing towing equipment and wreckers, and distributing them throughout the area. Eventually, his product earned a worldwide reputation.

Did you know that modern towing companies are working hard to increase their safety and efficiency? Today's professional recovery operators are highly skilled and invest heavily in the latest vehicles and equipment to get the job done right.

Among the types of tow trucks, the flatbeds are the least likely to cause any damages. The truck bed can be inclined hydraulically so that the car can be driven on top of the bed or be pulled by a winch.

Rigid or bar towing includes a solid metal bar attached to the casualty vehicle, and is ideal for moving cars to short distances. Mainly used with commercial vehicles, a towing eye is often present in the front bumper.
