Breakdown towing in Melbourne

Your car has stopped, and driving it further is not a good idea. WE TOW ANYTHING can move a broken-down car from an accessible location in Melbourne to a mechanic, workshop, dealership or home address you choose. Tell us where you are, what the car is doing and where you want it taken. We will confirm the towing price and arrangements before dispatch.

Our towing service operates 24/7. If the car is on a busy road, call 0447 119 564 so we can discuss the location and the right truck for the job.

Car broken down? Let's get it to the right place.

No start, overheating, flat battery or another mechanical problem? Send the details and we will confirm the tow and destination with you.

When a tow makes sense

A tow is worth arranging when the vehicle cannot be driven safely or continuing could make a fault worse. Common breakdown enquiries include a car that will not start, an overheating engine, transmission trouble, a damaged wheel, a flat tyre without a usable spare, or an electrical problem that has left the car stranded. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Describe what happened and what you can see; a mechanic can assess the fault after delivery.

If a roadside assistance provider can fix a simple issue where the car is parked safely, check your cover with that provider. This page is for moving the vehicle when it needs a tow. The WE TOW ANYTHING car-towing service is focused on towing rather than on-site mechanical repairs.

Your safety comes first. If you can stop in a safe place, follow the road operator’s directions and tell us your precise pickup position. On a freeway or major road, a suburb alone is not enough: include the road name, direction of travel and a nearby exit or landmark. If anyone is injured or there is immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000).

To your mechanic, your home or another agreed destination

You can nominate the repairer you already use. If you have not chosen one, decide where you want the car taken during the booking call. We can discuss the available options, and we will confirm the drop-off address before the truck leaves. You are not required to send the car to a particular mechanic because you used our towing service.

If the workshop is closed, ask it about after-hours delivery and key drop-off before the tow. A home address may be more practical until the repairer can accept the car. Give us gate codes, parking restrictions and a contact person at either end when they are relevant.

WE TOW ANYTHING’s existing service describes tilt-tray and flatbed trucks for car transport. The suitable loading method depends on the vehicle and where it has stopped. Please mention all-wheel drive, low clearance, a locked steering wheel, missing keys, damaged wheels or a vehicle that cannot roll. Those details matter more than simply saying “it won’t start.”

How to arrange your breakdown tow

Tell us where the car is

Provide a safe, specific pickup point, its registration, the issue and the best phone number to reach you.

Agree on the destination and quote

Give us the receiving address and any access details. We will confirm timing, truck suitability and the total towing charge, including any applicable distance or access adjustment.

Prepare for the driver.

Have the keys and any parking or workshop instructions ready. If you cannot be there, discuss the handover arrangement before dispatch.

The car is loaded and delivered

The driver moves it to the destination agreed for the booking. The repairer can then diagnose the fault.

We take breakdown towing enquiries across Melbourne, from the CBD and inner suburbs to areas such as Box Hill, Dandenong, Werribee and Craigieburn. Availability and arrival time depend on the exact location and the truck needed. For a planned move without a breakdown, see our general car towing service.

What does a breakdown tow cost?

Our online booking page lists a $499 local flat rate covering 45 km from pickup and says there is no 2 am surge. The booking form calculates an extra-distance amount above 45 km. Provide your route, vehicle and access details so we can confirm whether that local rate applies and show you the full charge before dispatch. A car that rolls freely in an open car park can need a different loading plan from one with locked wheels in a basement.
If you have roadside assistance or insurance cover, check whether your provider requires you to use its network or can reimburse a tow you arrange yourself.

Breakdown towing FAQs

Can you tow my car to my own mechanic in Melbourne?

Yes. Give us the mechanic’s address and confirm that the workshop can receive the car, especially outside business hours.

Tell us the address and whether a truck can reach the vehicle. Mention steep or narrow driveways, a garage height limit, locked steering or wheels that will not turn.

Yes, request a tow rather than continuing to drive an overheating vehicle. Tell us where it has stopped and any access or safety concerns.

This form books a tow. If you only need a roadside repair, ask your roadside assistance provider whether it can help. If the car needs transporting, we can assess the tow.

Let us know before booking. The answer depends on the vehicle, where it is parked and whether it can be loaded safely.

Call with the exact location. We will give you an availability and arrival estimate for the specific job; the site does not promise a fixed response time for every Melbourne suburb.

The current WE TOW ANYTHING site advertises 24/7 towing. Call for the truck and price available at the time you need it.

You can discuss a home address, your preferred repairer or another suitable destination before confirming the tow. Make sure the receiving location can accept the car.
