National Recovery Alliance

Growing congestion on the motorway network, and the need to better manage the recovery of vehicles causing any form of stoppage on the network, has seen eight of Auckland's long standing recovery and transport specialists form the National Recovery Alliance.

The members include: Warkworth & Whangaparaoa Towing, North Harbour Heavy Salvage & Towing Ltd, Alfa Westcity Towing & Storage Ltd, Avon Towing & Salvage Ltd, A1 Onehunga Towing Services Ltd, Southern Districts Towing Ltd, Auckland Waikato Cranes and Brian Roberts Towing (1998) Ltd.

By co-operating, these providers are offering a unified recovery solution to the growing traffic issues which plague Auckland. The group focuses solely on the prompt recovery and transport of distressed vehicles, ensuring motorists can rely on their support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, if the worst should occur. Everything, from heavy vehicles to motorcycles, travelling in the greater Auckland district (Warkworth to Pukekohe) can be quickly removed, keeping the motorway network flowing.

Each of the members is strategically located and, between them, they offer an extensive range of vehicle recovery and transport services. This is backed up by some of the most experienced, professional personnel in the industry.

Once removed, vehicles can be delivered to secure storage facilities with security services, complete with surveillance cameras, so owners can rest assured their property is secure and is being well looked after.

Additionally, the member companies have the capabilities and experience to assist with transport and associated services. Anything from a jump start to relocating plant and machinery can be arranged. The group has over 100 vehicles of all sizes and types at their disposal.
