What we do
Cars and utes on the tilt tray, the awkward ones with the wrecker, and the heavy gear on the low loader.
Car's died, the ute won't start, or you've had a prang on the way up? Call us and we'll load it on the tilt tray and take it where it needs to go. Our newest truck carries up to 6.5 tonnes. Locked your keys in at the resort car park? We'll get you back in.
Slid off on the way to Perisher or Thredbo, or buried in a drift? We'll come up and get you and the car out safely. Kosciuszko Rd and Guthega Rd see a lot of us in winter.
Down an embankment, a long way up a 4WD track, or bogged at the edge of the lake, we'll work out how to get it out. For the really awkward ones we bring in a crane.
Excavators, dozers, skid steers, even a site hut. If it's too big for the tray, it goes on the low loader behind the Western Star.
Bought something at an auction and need it home? Machinery parts, a load of gear, even a vintage stagecoach. Tell us what you've got and we'll work out how to move it.
We sell 20ft shipping containers, new and used. Call or email for a quote, and we deliver.
Not sure if it's something we can move? Ask us.

“We're closed.”
We're open 24 hours, 7 days a week. A breakdown doesn't wait for business hours, so neither do we.
“We're coming up from Canberra.”
We're based in Jindabyne, at the bottom of the mountain roads. When it snows, we're already here.
“That's too big for us.”
Cars, utes and campers go on the tray, machinery goes on the low loader, and the wrecker handles the awkward spots. If it's stuck, call and we'll work out how to move it.
“There's no wait, ever.”
On a big snow day everyone's calling at once, so you might have to wait your turn. We'll tell you straight, and we'll get to you.
How a call-out works
Pull over somewhere safe if you can, put your hazards on, and give us a call.
Tell us what you're driving and roughly where you've stopped. On a mountain road, the nearest turn-off or landmark helps us find you.
We'll work out what's needed for the job and give you a quote over the phone.
To your mechanic, your place or wherever it needs to go. Machinery and containers get delivered to the site.
Looking out for you on the mountain roads.
Drive safe, and keep our number in your phone before you head up.
About us
Jindabyne Towing and Automotive Services works out of a depot on Crawford St, in the Leesville industrial estate. The fleet's a mix of Landcruiser wreckers for the snow and the tracks, tilt trays for cars and utes, and a Western Star with a low loader for the heavy stuff.
Kane and the crew work the mountain roads all year, snow season and summer. When a job needs more lifting than a tow truck has, we call in the boys at Cooma Crane Hire.
You'll spot us around town in the white trucks with the blue lettering.
Reviews
Outstanding service from Jindabyne Towing. I dealt with Kane after my Carry Me Camper came off the ute tray on the Mt Pinnibar Track. The accident happened on a Saturday in a difficult location, a long way up the track. Kane and I discussed the location several times, and he was very clear about the urgency, particularly with major rainfall forecast. By Monday, less than 48 hours after the accident, Kane had assembled a team and recovered the camper. By mid-afternoon he had sent me photos confirming it had been safely recovered. I have nothing but praise for Kane and the team. Their communication, professionalism, urgency and customer service were outstanding. Highly recommended.
Absolute legend getting our car safe and fast off the road. On what became an extremely stressful time for our family you have shown such kindness and been so helpful! Thank you SO much
These guys are nothing lesser than a lifesaver. My car got locked with the key left inside at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon Thredbo ski resort. The person came in an hour's time to help me and ensure the car is opened. I was traveling with my family and a child with me and got very anxious about the situation, but to my relief, they were very quick and efficient to get me out of this situation. Definitely deserves a 5 Star for their service. Thank you.
Great experience with these guys, picked up some things from an auction on very short notice, also put me in touch with someone freighting things back to SA. Highly recommend.
