About PARKS Towing

A family-owned towing and recovery firm with roots in Christchurch going back to 1925, when it started as a garage. Its website says it has grown into New Zealand's largest towing specialist, with a fleet of more than 60 vehicles and a purpose-built automotive centre in Hornby. The business at 60 Owaka Road in Wigram offers towing, heavy recovery, breakdown and roadside assistance, commercial fleet servicing, engineering, machinery transport, linehaul, Hiab and crane trucks, and secure vehicle storage. It also does garage work and warrant of fitness checks. The website says the team is on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and lists three depots in Wellington alongside depots across the South Island.

Customers praise the team for careful handling, including one who had a rare car moved and another who uses the linehaul service to move vehicles between Christchurch, Napier and Auckland. That customer said the price was competitive and the delivery times were good. A breakdown customer said the team responded quickly, professionally and in a friendly way when they needed help. Reviews mention car theft and cost-effective service. The website describes the firm as still family owned and built on reliability.
