Towing Around Cottesloe
Cottesloe sits in the Town of Cottesloe, 11km west-south-west of the Perth CBD. That is what decides how long we take to reach you, so it is the first thing we work from when you ring.
Marine Parade and the Cottesloe Beach carparks are where most of the local calls come from, and a landmark beats an address every time along this stretch. The Indiana Tea House is the one everybody knows.
Roads through the area
- Stirling Highway
- West Coast Highway
- Marine Parade
- the Perth to Fremantle railway line, forming the eastern boundary
Landmarks and local spots
- Cottesloe Beach
- the Indiana Tea House
- Cottesloe railway station
- the Cottesloe Civic Centre
- John Curtin's house on Jarrad Street
Anything parked this close to the water gets salt through its brakes and electrics eventually, and a car that will not roll still loads onto the deck.
Where We Get Called in Cottesloe
The roads carrying most of Cottesloe are Stirling Highway, West Coast Highway, Marine Parade and the Perth to Fremantle railway line. 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. Cottesloe Beach, the Indiana Tea House, Cottesloe railway station, the Cottesloe Civic Centre and John Curtin's house on Jarrad Street all work as a starting point, and a dropped pin from your phone works better than any of them.
Anything parked this close to the water gets salt through its brakes and electrics eventually, and a car that will not roll still loads onto the deck.
Whatever the job turns out to be, the order is the same: you tell us where in Cottesloe 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 Cottesloe?
Cottesloe is a residential beach suburb: two thirds separate houses, a retail strip between Jarrad and Station streets, and the Indian Ocean on its western edge.
Beach carparks and the ramp
Marine Parade and the Cottesloe Beach carparks are where most of the local calls come from, and a landmark beats an address every time along this stretch. The Indiana Tea House is the one everybody knows.
Streets laid out before tilt trays
The blocks between Stirling Highway and the water are narrow, old and steep in places. We work out the approach on the phone rather than discovering it with a truck already in the street.
Salt gets everything eventually
Park within a kilometre of the water for long enough and the brakes seize and the lines perish. A car that will not roll still goes onto the deck the same as one that will.
Parking is the hard part
Between the beach carparks, the retail strip and the residential streets there is rarely a spare five metres. We sort out where the truck will stand before we set off.
Booking a Tow Truck in Cottesloe
1. Tell us the ramp, street or carpark
Along the coast a landmark places you faster than an address does, and a dropped pin beats both. Stirling Highway or Cottesloe Beach places you straight away.
2. We work out which job it is
A car that will not start is a tow. A car buried to the axles is a recovery. They are different jobs at different prices.
3. You get a time and a price
Both before we leave, including the recovery component if that is what it turns out to be. No renegotiating on the sand.
4. We get it out and load it
Recovery gear first if it is bogged, then up the ramp and onto the tilt tray, strapped down for the run back.
5. We deliver and hand over
Home, the mechanic, the boat yard or wherever the trailer lives. Unloaded properly and left where you want it.
Our Customer Reviews
Couldn’t recommend Chris highly enough! He came to our rescue after we broke down on the freeway and was so incredibly quick, friendly and helpful. I also had my dog with me, and he was absolutely fine with that, which I really appreciated. Fantastic service from start to finish — thank you so much, Chris! You were an absolute lifesaver! 🙌

Amazing service - needed last minute tow, honest ETA and arrived right on time. Good price, very friendly! Will definitely be recommending to anyone in need!!
I had some car trouble and needed towing. This was my first time ever needing a tow, so I was cautious and sceptical. However, James and the team were exceptional to deal with! They made a stressful situation feel easy and seamless. Fantastic blokes, and an extremely competitive rate. Hopefully I never need their services again, but if I do, I won’t hesitate to call Quokka Towing!
They picked up my jaguar from Fauntleroy St very promptly and were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
James was a legend and helped us with our car! Car broke down on way to school and James provided a fantastic quote, arrived quickly and had a no fuss attitude to getting things sorted for us, would recommend 100%
