Towing Around Bunbury

Bunbury sits in the City of Bunbury, 175km south of Perth. That is what decides how long we take to reach you, so it is the first thing we work from when you ring.

Most of our Bunbury work is on the dual carriageway between here and Perth, and that is a 175km job in either direction. You get an honest number on the time and the cost before we leave, not after.

Roads through the area

  • Forrest Highway, the dual carriageway north to Perth
  • South Western Highway
  • Bussell Highway, south toward Busselton
  • National Route 1

Landmarks and local spots

  • Bunbury Port
  • Koombana Bay
  • Back Beach
  • the Dolphin Discovery Centre
  • Leschenault Inlet
  • Hands Oval

A port city means heavier vehicles and machinery as well as cars, and a long highway in both directions means plenty of vehicles that simply need moving between the two.

Where We Get Called in Bunbury

The roads carrying most of Bunbury are Forrest Highway, South Western Highway, Bussell Highway and National Route 1. Any one of those is enough of a location for us to start from, and a cross street makes it exact.

Off the main roads a landmark beats an address every time. Bunbury Port, Koombana Bay, Back Beach, the Dolphin Discovery Centre, Leschenault Inlet and Hands Oval all work as a starting point, and a dropped pin from your phone works better than any of them.

The Forrest Highway is the run between Bunbury and Perth, and it is where most of the long-distance work on this route happens.

A port city means heavier vehicles and machinery as well as cars, and a long highway in both directions means plenty of vehicles that simply need moving between the two.

Whatever the job turns out to be, the order is the same: you tell us where in Bunbury you are and what you are driving, we give you a timeframe and a price, and only then does a truck leave. Nothing about that changes at two in the morning.

Why Call Us for a Tow in Bunbury?

Bunbury is Western Australia's third largest city and a working port, sitting on the coast at the top of the South West with around 75,000 people.

50+ years of combined experience
  • The Forrest Highway run

    Most of our Bunbury work is on the dual carriageway between here and Perth, and that is a 175km job in either direction. You get an honest number on the time and the cost before we leave, not after.

  • A working port

    Bunbury Port handles the heavy end of the South West, so the vehicles and machinery here run bigger than metro average. Give us the tonnage and we will tell you what we can take.

  • Planned transport, not just rescues

    A great deal of what moves on this route is somebody's car, bike or caravan needing to get between Bunbury and Perth. Booked ahead, that is a cheaper and calmer job than a callout.

  • Two hours each way

    Bunbury to Perth is 175km of Forrest Highway, and there is no version of that which is quick. What we can do is tell you the real time and the real cost up front.

Booking a Tow Truck in Bunbury

50+ years of combined experience
  • 1. Tell us the highway and the town

    A kilometre marker or a roadhouse is perfect, and a dropped pin from your phone is better than either. Forrest Highway or Bunbury Port places you straight away.

  • 2. Get yourself somewhere safe

    Country highways are fast and have no shoulder worth standing on. Well back from the road, behind a barrier if there is one.

  • 3. You get a real time and price

    Distance is most of the job out here. We tell you how long and how much before you commit, rather than guessing low.

  • 4. We load it on arrival

    Up the ramp and onto the deck, chained for a long run rather than a short one. Caravans and trailers get their own tie-down.

  • 5. We bring it back

    To the town, the workshop or the address you nominate, however far that is. One trip, one price, agreed before we set off.
