Will trade beer/cash for help with car transport - Sydney

I was wondering if anyone can help me trailer a car across Sydney on Sunday or Monday next week preferably (can organise another day if needed)

Basically I need to get my notch from lower nord shore to Campbelltown but don't have a trailer or car that could tow one.
To make it worth your while I can exchange a couple cases of beer and/or cash for said services.

I know it may be bit of a pain and there's not much notice, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Cheers
:D

Cheers guys.
Yeah been searching around for a place that can do it for $150. So far the 2 quotes I've gotten were $330 and $260.
Don't know what these guys are smoking...

Cheers guys, all sorted.
Found a place that can do it for $154 all up. If they're good and don't give me any dramas I'll post the name up here to help other Sydney people.
Cheers

Cheers guys. Definitely going to watch them like a hawk.
Can't wait till its running properly and registered so I dont have to worry about this stuff anymore (fingers crossed). The costs add up and I'm sick of having to watch other people move my car!

Just a quick update.
I ended up going with a company called Select Tilt Tray Group.

They were the easiest to deal with on the phone and were also the cheapest by far (some quotes were more than double). I have a really tricky driveway but the driver was so patient and helpful. He even helped me push the car up a hill in my driveway to get it to a spot where he could put it on the truck.
I'll definitely use them again if I ever need a tilt tray (hopefully not for a while though).
