Goulburn's Local Towing Service That Also Fixes the Problem

Rapid Auto Repair is the only operator in the Goulburn area that combines a professional towing service with a fully equipped mechanical workshop at the same address. Your vehicle can be towed in and repaired on-site, with no second transfer and no unnecessary delays. The team operates three tow trucks alongside three patrol vehicles, covering Goulburn, the Hume Highway corridor, and surrounding towns across the Southern Tablelands.

24/7 Towing and Breakdown Service

The fleet covers light vehicle recovery, including flatbed and tilt-tray towing for cars, 4WDs, trailers, and caravans. Tilt-tray transport suits low-clearance vehicles, vehicles that cannot roll, or situations where wheel-lift recovery isn't appropriate. All makes and models are welcome, including EVs and light commercial vehicles. Towing and roadside assistance run 24/7, every day of the year—the workshop itself is open Mon–Fri 8am–5pm and Sat 8:30am–12:30pm, but the road crew doesn't keep those hours.

What We Offer

🪝 Types of towing

Please note: Rapid Auto is not licensed for accident or insurance-fault towing (e.g., collision scenes, animal strikes). For these, contact the relevant insurer or authority.

Battery Change and Jump Starts, Roadside

A flat battery is one of the most common reasons drivers call for help. Our patrol vehicles carry jump-start equipment and replacement batteries from trusted brands like Marshall Batteries, so in many cases we can get you going again on the spot without a tow at all.

Mobile Services—We Come to You

Not every problem needs a tow truck. Our mobile service vehicles can attend many breakdowns directly, carrying out minor repairs and diagnostics roadside so you can get back on your way faster.

Vehicle Check-Over, After a Breakdown or Recovery

Once you're towed in or attended to roadside, our team can run a full check-over of your vehicle to confirm it's safe to drive and flag anything that needs further attention—with diagnostics able to start the same day if repairs are required.
