What exactly is being offered?
philgoddard Dec 4, 2013:

Peer comment(s):

disagree Cilian O'Tuama : This doesn't make much sense. How does one use a vehicle's axis/axes on a road? Maybe you mean axles, but that wouldn't be idiomatic here either. (And please choose a more appropriate confidence level.)

tow-away service

If your vehicle is unfit to be driven (auf eigener Achse), we offer a tow-away service (auf fremder Achse).

Assuming it's referring to the Transport of Fahrzeuge. You've got the context.

Is it just a fancy way of saying "Abschleppdienst"?

neutral Yorkshireman : Very interesting take on it!
