About this site.
An independent guide to towing in Townsville, written by people who have made enough roadside calls to know what good looks like.
Townsville Towing Compare exists for one practical reason: when something goes wrong on the road, most people grab their phone, type "tow truck near me" and ring the first number they see. Sometimes that works out. Often it does not. We built this site so locals (and visitors) can do five minutes of homework before something goes wrong, and ring an operator they have already vetted.
Independent, but transparent
We may receive a referral fee or sponsorship from operators featured on this site. We will never recommend an operator that fails our published comparison framework just because money is on the table. The framework is on the /compare page, and the disclosure is repeated on the home page and on every recommendation block.
Who we recommend
Right now we recommend two Townsville operators — see the recommended page. The list is short by design: we would rather recommend two operators we trust than ten we do not.
