What happens when you call

Three steps, no surprises.

Being stuck on the side of the road is stressful enough. Here is exactly how a job runs from the moment you dial, so you know what you are agreeing to.

  1. 1Takes about 60 seconds

    Call us and tell us where you are

    A cross street, a landmark or the freeway marker is enough. Tell us what you drive and what has gone wrong — we work out the rest.

  2. 2Agree before we dispatch

    We quote a flat rate on the phone

    You hear the full price before you agree to anything, including tolls. No meter running, no surprise after-hours loading, no charge for the quote.

  3. 3Stay in your car until we arrive

    The closest truck comes to you

    We dispatch the nearest available truck and tell you roughly how long it will be. Your vehicle goes where you want it — home, your mechanic, or a dealership.

WHY CHOOSE US

Why Choose CarTowingMelbourne?

A flat battery before work. A car that stops dead on the freeway. A prang on the way home. Every breakdown is different, but the feeling is the same — you are stuck, and you need someone who will actually turn up.

We have spent seven years towing across Melbourne for private drivers, workshops, dealerships and fleet operators, and we have moved more than 20,000 vehicles doing it. Cars, motorcycles, 4WDs, caravans, forklifts and containers — emergency callouts and booked-in transport alike.

The closest truck, dispatched first

Our dispatcher sends whichever truck is nearest to you, and tells you roughly how long it will be so you are not left guessing.

Operators who do this every day

Loading a low sports car, a dead-battery 4WD and a multi-axle caravan are three different jobs. Our drivers are trained for all of them.

Awake at 3am on a public holiday

Breakdowns do not keep business hours. Nights, weekends and holidays are normal working time for us, at the same flat rate.

The price you were quoted

You hear the full cost on the phone before you agree. No meter, no after-hours loading, no fees added once your vehicle is on the tray.

Car died on Sydney Road on my way to work. I called expecting to be on hold forever and someone picked up straight away. They told me the price upfront, the truck turned up when they said it would, and the driver got my car to my mechanic without any fuss.

We run delivery vans and use these guys whenever one goes down. Downtime costs us money and they have never mucked us around — clear pricing, quick dispatch, and the tilt tray handles our heavier vans without an issue. Easy to deal with.

Flat tyre in a shopping centre car park with both kids in the back. The driver was patient and kind, talked me through what he was doing, and made sure we had somewhere safe to wait. Genuinely took the stress out of a horrible afternoon.

Been driving in Melbourne forty years and this is the most straightforward tow I have had. The quote I got on the phone was the amount I paid — no extra charge for it being a Sunday night. They handled the car carefully and rang ahead before arriving.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Our Towing Service

Answers to the questions drivers ask most often before booking towing or roadside assistance in Melbourne.

How much does a tow cost in Melbourne?

Car tows start from $120, motorcycles from $90 and emergency callouts from $150. The final figure depends on distance, vehicle type and how hard you are to reach — so we quote you a flat rate on the phone before we dispatch a truck, with tolls included and no after-hours surcharge. You will never get a bill that is larger than the number you agreed to.

How quickly can a tow truck arrive in Melbourne?

We dispatch the closest available truck to you and tell you an honest estimate when you call, so you can decide whether to wait or make other arrangements. Times depend on your location, traffic and how busy the network is — anyone who promises you an exact figure before knowing where you are is guessing.

Are your towing services open 24 hours a day?

Yes. We provide towing services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and public holidays — at the same flat rate, with no after-hours loading.

Do I have to pay for a quote?

No. Quotes are free and there is no obligation to book. Call, tell us where you are and what you drive, and we will give you the price. If the job is not one we should be doing, we will tell you that too.

What types of vehicles can you tow?

We tow almost anything, from cars, utes, 4WDs and motorcycles to caravans, trailers, forklifts, machinery and shipping containers.

Can you transport vehicles that can't be driven?

Absolutely. We regularly recover and transport vehicles that can't be safely driven due to mechanical failure, collision, engine failure, flat batteries or other faults.

Do you offer scheduled vehicle transport services?

Yes. As well as emergency towing, we offer scheduled vehicle transport for dealerships, workshops, auctions, fleet operators and private customers.

Which Melbourne suburbs do you service?

We provide towing across Melbourne and its surrounding suburbs, including Berwick, Campbellfield, Clayton, Cranbourne, Dandenong, Doncaster, Frankston, Glen Waverley, Laverton, Point Cook, Ringwood, Sunshine, Thomastown and many more.
