About us

For over 40 years, our family has helped people get home by towing broken vehicles in Winton and Central Southland. Originally a part of Macks Panel & Paint Repairs in Winton, the towing side of the company grew enough that Jeremy and Joanne McIlwrick expanded it to its own separate business in 2018.

As it’s own business, Central Southland Towing can focus entirely on towing and emergency roadside assistance. Our fleet of trucks can handle vehicles of all sizes, from motorbikes to heavy farm machinery such as tractors and other heavy equipment.

Central Southland Towing is the only towing company that works exclusively in the Southland region including the rural roads of central Southland. We understand that a breakdown anywhere is unfortunate, but when there are no major towns around it can even more difficult. We aim to make that easier with quick dispatch times that can you, your vehicle, and your family where they need to be safely.
