What to Expect When You Call for a Tow
When your vehicle breaks down, calling for a tow is straightforward.
Call me with your location
Let me know where you are and what's happened with your vehicle. I'll confirm I'm on my way and give you an idea of when to expect me.
I come to you
Once I'm on site, I'll assess the vehicle and load it safely for towing. I take care with every vehicle I handle to avoid any additional damage.
You choose the destination
I'll tow your vehicle to whichever mechanic, repairer or location you need it to go. If you're not sure where to take it, I can discuss your options.
Available seven days
Breakdown can happen any day of the week, so I operate Monday to Sunday, 5:00am to 10:00pm. Call me whenever you need help.
Questions we get asked
What causes a vehicle to need breakdown towing?
Vehicles can require towing for a range of reasons, including engine failure, overheating, flat tyres that can't be repaired on the spot, and electrical faults. Accidents and collision damage that make a vehicle unsafe to drive also commonly result in the need for a tow.
Can a breakdown tow be arranged for a vehicle in a car park or private property?
Breakdown towing can generally be arranged from car parks, private driveways and other non-road locations, not just public roads. The process is essentially the same: the operator comes to the vehicle, loads it and transports it to the nominated destination.
How far can a vehicle be towed in a single trip?
The distance a vehicle can be towed in one trip depends on the operator's coverage area and the specific job. For longer distances, it's worth calling ahead to discuss the route and confirm the tow can be completed in a single run.
