Towys in my country are usually connected to some kind of mafia. Never met an altruistic one like like matts offroad recovery in my travels.

The only time I had my car towed was in Devon, SW England, in 2020. I hit a pothole and blew out a tyre. The company that towed my car took it to their workshop, and took me to my hotel. The next day I spoke to them to organize getting a pair of new tyres. That was a challenge because I had winter tyres on as I was intending to return to Norway before the spring and no one stocks winter tyres in Southern England. It took them another two days to get the tyres. They charged me for the tyres and fitting and that was it, no charge for the ten mile tow.

Same here (Western Australia) and it's closer to $2500 than the $200 mentioned above.
