Expert Care for Your Valuable and Unique Vehicles
Some vehicles need more than standard towing – they need special attention, proper equipment, and operators who understand their unique requirements. RoadSide Tows provides specialised towing for cars that deserve extra care. Whether you own a classic restoration, a luxury sports car, a modified show vehicle, or a motorcycle, our team treats your prized possession with the respect and caution it deserves.
Your vehicle represents more than just transportation – it’s an investment, a passion project, or perhaps a cherished family heirloom. We understand that completely. Our specialised tilt tray and towing services combine the right equipment with experienced operators who genuinely care about protecting what matters to you. Every job receives our full attention, regardless of whether it’s a vintage Holden or a modern supercar.
Our Specialised Transport Services
Classic and Vintage Vehicle Transport
Classic cars need delicate handling. These vehicles often have original paint, rare components, and irreplaceable parts that simply can’t be damaged. Our specialised towing services use tilt tray transport for most classic vehicles, keeping them completely flat and protected during the journey. No hooks, no lifting one end – just smooth, secure transport that treats your restoration with museum-quality care.
We’ve transported everything from 1950s Holdens to American muscle cars, European classics to Australian icons. Our operators understand that classic car owners are particular about their vehicles, and rightly so. We load carefully, secure properly using soft straps where appropriate, and transport at sensible speeds. Your classic arrives in exactly the condition it left – that’s our guarantee.
Luxury and Prestige Vehicle Towing
Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW M cars, Mercedes-AMG – these vehicles cost serious money and deserve serious care. Low ground clearance, expensive bodywork, and high-performance components mean standard towing simply isn’t suitable. Our specialised tilt tray and towing approach eliminates scraping risks and keeps luxury cars perfectly level throughout transport.
Insurance companies often specify tilt tray transport for high-value vehicles because it minimises damage risks. We work with insurers, dealerships, and private owners throughout Melbourne, providing the careful handling that prestige vehicles require. Whether it’s a new purchase needing delivery or accident recovery for an expensive car, we’ve got the expertise and equipment to do it right.
Modified and Custom Vehicle Transport
Lowered suspension, wide body kits, custom exhaust systems, and aftermarket modifications create unique transport challenges. Modified cars often can’t clear standard driveways without scraping, let alone loading ramps. We assess each modified vehicle individually, planning the safest loading approach. For significantly lowered cars, tilt tray transport is usually essential.
Show cars and custom builds represent countless hours and significant investment. We’ve transported award-winning show cars, drift cars with extensive modifications, and one-off custom builds. Your modification work won’t be damaged in our care – we take the time to do it properly, using appropriate equipment and techniques for your specific vehicle.
Motorcycle Transport
Motorcycles need specialised securing techniques completely different from cars. Our team uses proper wheel chocks, soft tie-downs, and securing points designed specifically for bikes. Whether it’s a sports bike, cruiser, touring bike, or vintage motorcycle, we transport it standing upright and firmly secured. Many motorcycle owners don’t have suitable trailers or towing vehicles – we provide the solution.
From Harley-Davidsons to Ducatis, from dirt bikes to touring bikes, we’ve safely transported them all. Bikes are surprisingly easy to damage during transport if not secured correctly – leaning too far, straps on the wrong points, or inadequate securing can cause expensive problems. Our operators know exactly how to secure different motorcycle types properly and safely.

We’re Enthusiasts Too
Our team includes car enthusiasts who genuinely appreciate special vehicles. We understand why you’re particular about your classic, why your modified car needs careful handling, and why your luxury vehicle deserves premium service.

The Right Equipment for the Job
Standard tow trucks aren’t suitable for many specialised vehicles. We’ve invested in tilt tray trucks specifically because they’re the safest option for valuable, modified, or low-clearance vehicles. Our equipment includes soft straps that won’t mark paintwork, proper wheel chocks for motorcycles, and securing systems designed for delicate vehicles. Using the right gear isn’t optional when you’re transporting someone’s pride and joy – it’s essential.
Peace of Mind Through Experience
We’ve transported countless specialised vehicles throughout Melbourne without incident. This experience means we can assess your specific vehicle and recommend the best transport method. We know which cars need a tilt tray, which modified vehicles require special loading approaches, and how to secure motorcycles properly. Experience matters when you’re trusting someone with something valuable – you want operators who’ve done it successfully many times before.

Frequently Asked Questions
Specialised towing is recommended for classic and vintage cars, luxury and prestige vehicles, modified or lowered cars, custom show vehicles, motorcycles, kit cars, and any vehicle with unique requirements or high value. Basically, if your vehicle is worth significant money, has sentimental value, features modifications, or has low ground clearance, specialised transport protects your investment. Standard towing methods can damage paintwork, scrape bodywork, or stress components on these vehicles - specialised methods eliminate those risks.
Specialised tilt tray keeps your entire vehicle on a flat platform with all wheels off the ground, eliminating scraping risks and drivetrain stress. Regular towing lifts one end while the other rolls, which can damage low cars or stress components. We also use soft straps instead of chains where appropriate, proper wheel chocks for motorcycles, and securing techniques designed for delicate vehicles. Every step is considered carefully - loading, securing, transport speed, and unloading - to protect your valuable vehicle throughout the journey.
Yes, extremely lowered vehicles are exactly what our specialised tilt tray and towing services handle best. The tray lowers completely flat to ground level, allowing even severely lowered cars to be loaded without scraping. We've transported show cars with just centimetres of ground clearance successfully. Before loading, we assess approach angles and plan the safest method. If your car is too low for normal driveways, it's definitely too low for standard towing - tilt tray is usually the only safe option.
Absolutely. We transport sports bikes, cruisers, touring motorcycles, vintage bikes, dirt bikes, and custom motorcycles. Each type needs slightly different securing approaches, and our operators understand these differences. Sports bikes secure differently from cruisers due to their geometry, and vintage bikes often need extra care with soft tie-downs to protect original components. We use proper motorcycle wheel chocks and securing points designed specifically for bikes, not improvised car methods that risk damage.
We service all Melbourne metropolitan suburbs and extend into regional Victoria. Many specialised vehicles are garaged in specific areas - prestige cars in bayside suburbs, classic restorations in suburban garages, and modified cars near workshop precincts. Regardless of where your vehicle is located, we can reach it. We also handle long-distance transport for interstate vehicle purchases, delivering cars from interstate auctions, private sales, or dealerships. Distance isn't a limitation when transporting valuable vehicles - we plan appropriately and price fairly.
Yes, specialised towing services are designed to safely transport luxury and high-end vehicles. Flatbed towing and soft-strap tie-downs help prevent scratches, suspension damage, and mileage wear, making it the preferred choice for valuable cars.
Costs depend on distance, vehicle type, complexity, and equipment needed. Specialised towing may cost more than standard towing due to expertise and tools involved, but it reduces the risk of damage and costly repairs.
Yes, specialised towing services often handle accident recovery. They use the right equipment to safely recover damaged or immobile vehicles while minimising further damage and ensuring safe transport to a repair facility.
