Our Company Values
Safety First
Prioritising the safety of our customers and their vehicles in every service we provide.
Education
Imparting as much knowledge as possible to ensure our customers are well informed and able to tow with confidence.
Integrity

Vehicle only weighs focus on allowable payload and even weight distribution for tow vehicles pre-purchase, accessorised 4WDs, trade/fleet vehicles and race cars.
Vehicle and trailer weighs (i.e. car and caravan/horse float/trailer) review the combined set up to ensure there is no unnecessary axle pressure, unbalanced load, suspension sag or weights that exceed the vehicle’s specified limits. This can apply stress to rear suspension and braking performance, and increase the risk of vehicle sway.
As part of your appointment, a qualified automotive technician and licensed vehicle tester will assess:
- individual wheel weights to ensure your vehicles are within the legal limits as specified by the manufacturer;
- ride height of the vehicles to determine whether additional suspension upgrades are required;
- payload distribution to ensure the vehicles are appropriately balanced;
- appropriateness of the tow hitch setup (for vehicle-trailer combinations).
Each client receives a detailed report outlining their GVM, GCM, TBM, GTM, ATM and allowable payload, as well as recommendations to improve their ride height and comfortability, to ensure they are travelling safely and legally on the road and looking after the integrity of their tow and towed vehicles.
