For cheap towing up north can't go past this guy. $50 to tow from my place to the paint shop. He's cheaper than hiring a trailer. Mild to wild towing - [phone removed]

Yeah that sounds about right, with venetians too? I went to the one just off main north road by the airport, like off of kesters road and down a service road. Their name was something auto refinishers not sure if it was adelaide auto refinishers.. They didn't seem too keen for the work, said it'd be 8 to 9 grand and referred me to a place called Manchester Crash in Salisbury. So I'll speak to them after trying VIP Customs
