We're Open Now - 7 days a week, 365 days a year
Wherever you break down across the city, help isn’t far away. We cover every corner of Melbourne, from the inner-city buzz to the Mornington Peninsula’s quieter roads, so whether you’re stuck at Somerville or further down the Peninsula, a tow truck is never too far off.
We provide towing services across Melbourne in every direction, including:
Southbank, St Kilda, Fitzroy, Richmond and all central locations.
Including Tullamarine, Craigieburn and Preston.
From Box Hill to Ringwood and the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges .
Somerville, Tyabb, the Peninsula link roads, Hastings, Baxter, and Moorooduc.
All areas in and across the Princes Freeway, Werribee, and Footscray.
Reliable 24/7 towing solutions for cars, trade vehicles, tilt trays, and heavy equipment.
Our knowledge of Somerville’s country lanes and the Frankston-Flinders Road corridors will result in fewer delays getting you back out there on the road faster. With our up-to-date equipment and skilled operators, we treat your car with the utmost care, from your initial contact all the way to when we drop it off.
We’re not just about hooking up and hauling off. Our tow truck services in and across this area come with clear communication, upfront pricing and genuine care for your vehicle, so there are no surprises along the way.
Choosing Roadside Tows means choosing speed and local know-how. Because our drivers work these roads regularly, they know the fastest way in and out, even along the busier Peninsula link roads.
Navigate Smarter – We know the back roads and shortcuts that help us reach you faster, avoiding delays wherever possible.
Know the Conditions – We’re prepared for Melbourne’s changeable weather, road closures and the longer, quieter stretches and the surrounding rural areas.
Offer Honest ETAs – You’ll get a realistic arrival time based on real local knowledge, not a guess pulled from a map.
Response times depend on traffic, time of day and how busy we are, but most Somerville callouts are reached within 30 to 60 minutes. Giving us a clear location, such as a cross street or nearby landmark, helps us get to you sooner.
Yes, we're available around the clock, seven days a week. Whether your car breaks down late at night on a quiet back road or early on a weekday commute along the Frankston-Flinders Road, our team is ready to help.
We handle cars, SUVs, vans, utes and motorcycles. If you're driving something larger or need specialised equipment, just mention it when you call so we can send the right truck for the job.
We use tilt tray and flatbed trucks wherever possible, which keep all four wheels off the road. This lowers the risk of damage to your vehicle and is generally the safest way to transport it.
Pricing depends on distance, vehicle type and the time of your callout. Local, short-distance tows tend to be more affordable. We'll always try to give you a clear idea of cost before we dispatch a truck.
Absolutely. Not every callout needs a full tow. We also provide jump starts, fuel drop-offs and other on-the-spot roadside fixes to get you moving again without needing to leave your car behind.
Some car insurance policies possess roadside assistance as part of your coverage, though limits can vary. It's worth checking your policy first. If towing isn't included, we still offer straightforward, fair pricing either way.
