Report
Avoid. Caused significant damage to my vehicle due the driver not knowing where the correct tow point is (Very common car) Broke off whilst at the top of the tray and Rolled down a hill, They are 100% at fault but refuse to do the right thing and accept fault. This has been on going for over 6 months. If you have any issues during your tow they will do everything possible to get out of fixing the issue. AVOID!

Difficult tow today with a wheel snapped clean off my Navara. Old mate helped load it nice are carefully on to the truck and it took him a good deal of his time to do so. The charge was minimal compared to the difficult. Thanks for looking after my pride and joy it was appreciated.
