🚨 IS THIS YOUR VEHICLE? 🚨

We’re hoping someone in our Facebook community can help us track down the owner of this vehicle.

This vehicle was towed in June 26 and is currently in our care. We have made several attempts to contact the owner, unfortunately without success.

We’re now reaching out through Facebook as a final attempt to get in touch with the owner and find out what they would like to do with their vehicle.

👉 If you recognise this vehicle, or know who the owner is, please get in touch with us.

🚨 WE'RE HIRING – OUR NEXT TOWING SUPERSTAR! 🚨

We’re on the hunt again for our next towing superstar! 🚛

We’re a small, busy towing company based in the Waipā, covering a huge variety of work from accidents and breakdowns to jump-starts, recoveries and everything in between.

We operate 24/7, rain or shine, so no two days are ever the same. One day you could be towing a vehicle from the side of the road, and the next you could be pulling a car up a cliff somewhere out on the coast! 🌧️☀️

👇 What we're looking for:

✅ Minimum Class 2 licence
✅ V endorsement — or willing to obtain one (we can assist with this)
✅ Living in Te Awamutu, Cambridge ideal but not required
✅ Willing to work rostered days and nights
✅ A genuine team player
✅ Positive, can-do attitude
✅ Takes pride in their work and their gear
✅ Someone who can think outside the square and problem-solve
✅ Physically fit and capable of handling the demands of the job
✅ Able to pass a drug test and fit and proper person check

🚨 What we can offer:

A varied and interesting job where no two days are the same, plenty of opportunities to learn, and the chance to become part of a small, hardworking team. A hands-on job where you’re out on the road rather than stuck behind a desk. You’ll get experience working with different vehicles, recovery equipment and towing situations. A supportive team environment where everyone helps each other out and gets home safely at the end of the day.

If you’re someone who enjoys being out on the road, getting stuck into different challenges and getting the job done when others can’t, this could be the job for you! 💪🚛

Attention: Jason

Think you’ve got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you! 👊

🎉 Congratulations to Andy from Good Systems Aotearoa Ltd on his outstanding achievement in helping Eden Park attain ISO 45001:2018 certification – the internationally recognised standard for occupational health and safety management systems.
Andy does a significant amount of work with us here at Waipa Towing & Salvage, helping ensure our team stays safe at work and that our health and safety systems remain at the highest standard.
His dedication, expertise, and commitment to creating safer workplaces make a real difference, and this achievement is a testament to the quality of work he delivers.
We are incredibly proud to hear of Andy’s success and are equally proud to support a local business that continues to achieve excellence on a national stage.
Well done, Andy – a fantastic achievement! 👏

Eden Park is the first stadium in Australasia to achieve ISO 45001:2018 certification, the internationally recognised standard for occupational health and safety management systems.

This reflects our ongoing commitment to providing a safe environment for our team, athletes, performers, partners, volunteers and the thousands of fans and guests who visit New Zealand's national stadium each year.

A special thank you to Good Systems Aotearoa Ltd for leading the process.

🚗 Policy Reminder ❄️

We’ve recently had a few customers call their roadside assistance during a breakdown, only to find out their policy covers a tow to the nearest mechanic — not the trip home.

With the colder months approaching, this is just a gentle reminder to take a few minutes to check exactly what your roadside assistance policy includes. It can make a big difference when you’re stuck on the side of the road.

No one wants to be left in the cold trying to organise and pay extra for a tow home — especially with fuel costs being what they are.

A quick check now could save you a lot of stress later 👍
