$80 for a tow truck? Must be the going rate in other parts of the country. I get dirty at having to pay any more than $50.

 

Just out of curiosity how far do you have to go?

Well, I ended up running with the tilt tray. $84.70.

 

Was only a real short trip - Brisbane inner north side to east side. I didn't have the time on friday arvo to ring around and get the absolute cheapest price.

 

I rang a few tow truck places and was quoted between $85 and $100, but I needed it done on Sunday so I went ahead with Ready Tow.

 

Using the tilt tray was a super easy process. We were able to back the truck right up the driveway and roll it off the back straight into the garage.

 

I definitely won't be messing with a car trailer again for such a short trip..

 

I have had a few bad experiences before with trailers, so the tilt tray option is a lot more appealing.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. Work is resuming on the car with a vengeance now, so watch out for progress updates.

 

Cheers
