Tow truck in the Sutherland Shire

The Shire has three front doors, Tom Uglys Bridge, Captain Cook Bridge and Alfords Point Bridge, and when one backs up, so does everything behind it. From there the Princes Highway runs south from Sylvania and Sutherland to Engadine, Heathcote and Waterfall, where the M1 begins. Our truck comes down from Marsden Park in the north west, which is a long haul before we so much as see the water, so we tell you which bridge we are aiming for and what the drive is genuinely going to take at that hour.

The Royal National Park is the local wildcard. Phone reception drops out along Sir Bertram Stevens Drive and Lady Carrington Drive, and a breakdown near Audley or Wattamolla can leave you walking to find signal. If your car is playing up, call before you enter the park, not after. The same goes for the boat ramps at Gymea Bay and Kurnell on a summer Sunday.

Everyday jobs run along the Kingsway and President Avenue: a car that will not start at Westfield Miranda, a breakdown in Caringbah, a non-starter in the Cronulla beachfront car park, tows to workshops in Taren Point and Kirrawee. Menai, Bangor and Illawong sit on the Woronora side and are covered the same way. Waterfall is also the start of the longer runs south, so a car heading down the coast or further afield is booked the same way as a local job. 4WDs, utes and boat trailers are common down here, and they sit well inside what the tilt tray carries: tell us the weight when you call and we will confirm.
