At DVR Towing we never quite know where the next callout will come from.

Over the years, we've rescued motorists from some pretty interesting spots around Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty.

✳️ Beach car parks where the sand looked firmer than it really was
✳️ Boat ramps where things got a little slippery
✳️ Supermarket car parks after a flat battery or misplaced keys
✳️ Rural back roads where GPS took someone on an unexpected adventure
✳️ Scenic lookouts with incredible views, but a vehicle that wouldn't start
✳️ Campgrounds and holiday parks
✳️ Driveways with vehicles that refused to cooperate
✳️ EVs that just needed a little extra charge to get home
✳️ Roadsides during wild Bay of Plenty weather

From the Mount and Papamoa to Welcome Bay, Pyes Pa, Te Puna and beyond, every day brings something different.

No matter where you find yourself stuck, stranded, locked out, out of fuel, or dealing with a breakdown, DVR Towing is on call 24/7 and ready to help get you back on your way.

A day in the life of a tow truck driver...

While most people are still asleep, some of our team are already on the road helping someone get their day back on track.

One day might start with a breakdown before sunrise. The next could involve recovering a vehicle in the rain, helping someone who has locked their keys in the car, towing machinery, or answering a late-night call from a stranded motorist.

There are early starts, long days, all sorts of weather, and plenty of unexpected situations. No two shifts are ever quite the same. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping people when they need it most.

Whether it's a local heading to work, a family trying to get home, or a visitor stuck on the side of the road, we're proud to be there when things don't go to plan. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you find yourself in a sticky situation and need our help, give us a call on 07 578 3571.

When most people think of a tow truck, they picture a broken-down car on the side of the road.

But the reality is, we move a whole lot more than that. Boats heading to or from the water, trailers that need transporting, caravans moving to a new destination, machinery and equipment, motorbikes, project vehicles, and plenty of other things that fit on one of our trucks.

With a fleet of tow trucks in different sizes, we can safely transport everything from small vehicles through to larger loads and machinery.

Not sure if we can move it? Give us a call on 07 578 3571. If it fits on one of our trucks, chances are we can help.

Not all heroes wear capes - some drive tow trucks at 2am.

While most of Tauranga is fast asleep, there’s a good chance one of our team is out helping someone whose night hasn't quite gone to plan. A flat battery after work. A breakdown on the way home. Keys locked in the car. Running out of fuel when the petrol light has been "on for ages." We've seen it all.

The reality is that vehicle troubles don't stick to business hours, which is why we're available 24/7, 365 days a year.

We're proud to be part of this community and to help locals get back on the road when they need it most.

That little moment when the fuel light comes on and you start calculating exactly how far you can push it.

We’ve rescued plenty of people who were “pretty sure” they had enough petrol to make it. No judgement here.

It happens more often than you’d think. Especially with busy days, long drives, kids in the car, work stress, or just plain forgetting.

If you ever find yourself stuck on the side of the road in Tauranga or surrounding areas, DVR Towing is only a phone call away, day or night. Call us on 07 578 3571.

Did you know not every tow we do is an emergency or roadside rescue?

It could be:

✔ Moving a project car
✔ Transporting a caravan
✔ Taking a vehicle to a mechanic
✔ Getting a non-registered vehicle moved
✔ Relocating machinery
✔ Helping someone buy or sell a car

A lot of people don’t realise you can actually pre-book a tow for planned jobs too. Makes life a whole lot easier when you know it’s organised properly and safely ahead of time.

If you need a planned tow, give us a call for a quote and how to book. Call us on 07 578 3571.

We had a bit of everything this week!

A boat needed to be moved across town. A work trailer wouldn’t budge, and a car decided mid-commute it had had enough.

That’s the thing with what we do. It’s never just one type of callout. If it needs moving, we’ll get it where it needs to go.

Save our number for when you need it: 07 578 3571.
