Question 1

What information should I provide when requesting a tow?

Accepted Answer

Share your current location, the vehicle make and model, the vehicle's condition, whether it rolls and steers, your intended destination and any access restrictions. The more complete these details are, the better the operator can prepare.

Question 2

Can a vehicle be towed if it will not start?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A vehicle that will not start can usually be towed, but the operator needs to know whether it rolls, steers and brakes so the correct loading approach — such as a tilt tray and winch — can be prepared.

Question 3

Can an accident-damaged vehicle be transported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Describe the extent of the damage, which wheels are intact, the vehicle's position and the access at the scene before dispatch. This helps the operator plan a safe recovery and bring the right equipment.

Question 4

Can you tow an unregistered vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Towing may be appropriate for an unregistered vehicle being moved to a workshop, a storage location or another private destination. Confirm the situation when you call — this is general guidance, not legal advice.

Question 5

Can vehicles be collected from underground parking?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. Height clearance, turning space, ramp angle and the vehicle's condition all affect whether a tilt tray can access underground parking. Confirm these details when you call, as standard access may not always be possible.

Question 6

Do I need to know the destination before calling?

Accepted Answer

A confirmed destination helps, but it is not essential. You can discuss the intended workshop, home, storage or other delivery point when you call and the operator can advise.

Question 7

What types of vehicles can be transported?

Accepted Answer

Passenger vehicles, motorcycles and some machinery or equipment can be transported. The size, weight and condition of the item must be confirmed when you call so the right truck is arranged.

Question 8

How is towing price calculated?

Accepted Answer

Distance, vehicle type and condition, loading difficulty, access and the time of the job can all affect the quote. Confirm the details with the operator when you call. Prices are not listed on this site.

Question 9

Do you provide roadside repairs?

Accepted Answer

This service focuses on towing and vehicle transport. Roadside mechanical work is not offered unless separately confirmed. For a breakdown that needs a tow, share the details and the operator can help.

Question 10

Which parts of Hobart are covered?

Accepted Answer

Towing covers Greater Hobart, including Hobart, Glenorchy, Moonah, Kingston, the Eastern Shore and surrounding areas. Job availability is confirmed when you contact the service.

Question 11

Can a motorcycle be transported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Share the motorcycle's condition, the pickup location and any secure-loading requirements when you call so the bike can be loaded and tied down correctly.

Question 12

What should I do if my vehicle is in a dangerous position?

Accepted Answer

Prioritise your safety. Move yourself and passengers away from traffic where it is safe to do so and contact emergency services when necessary. Arrange the tow once you are in a safe position.

Question 13

Can I request a quote for planned towing or vehicle transport?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the Free Quote form for planned vehicle transport, motorcycle towing, machinery moves, tilt-tray work and other non-urgent jobs. Include the pickup location, destination, vehicle or equipment details, condition, access and preferred date.
