THE team at Ollies Towing & Shipping Container Sales do more than those at average towing companies.
The family business, owned and established by Ron Oliver, covers a lot of different bases in the transport industry, from motor vehicle recovery and transport, to towing and delivering shipping containers, farm equipment, tractors and more.
While delivering these services, the team prioritises going the extra mile when caring for their customers.
"We do 24-hour emergency service so that we can help anyone who needs assistance, especially if they've just been involved in an accident,” Mr Oliver said.
Mr Oliver said the South Burnett business had been around for 40 years, and staff had witnessed many changes which they'd adapted to along the way.
He also believes that because of their service, they have picked up a lot of loyal customers over the years.
"We wanted to help people who get stuck when they're a long way from home,” Mr Oliver said.
"A lot of bigger companies don't tend to have a personal interest in how the people do after the business is done. They set them on their way when a lot of the time they might need some more friendly assistance.”
Mr Oliver said that what sets his business apart was the team made sure to look after people's personal concerns while helping them.
"Most people we tow are from out of town and don't have anyone to help them, so we make sure to not treat them like strangers,” he said.
The customers have appreciated their care, as shown by a whole folder of testimonials in the Ollies Towing & Shipping Container Sales office.
If you ever need emergency towing or need a shipping container delivered, make sure to call the team on 4162 2307.
