A few words about us
Family owned & operated with over 32 years experience
1A Welch's Towing & Highway Smash is a family-owned towing, transport and accident-repair business based in the Central West of NSW. For more than 32 years we’ve helped local drivers, fleets and insurers out of tight spots — from a flat battery in town to a major accident recovery on the highway.
Operating from depots in Bathurst and Lithgow, our team runs modern trucks and equipment and knows the region inside out, so help reaches you quickly. We’re also recognised and recommended by the leading insurance companies, and can manage your tow and the paperwork directly.
