Broken Down in Hillarys?

A breakdown on Hepburn Avenue approaching Hillarys is a live-lane problem, since it is the main way in off the Mitchell Freeway. Get across to the verge if it is safe to move, hazards on, and tell us the nearest cross street or on-ramp.

A car that will not start in the Hillarys Boat Harbour carpark on Southside Drive is usually hemmed in by other cars and trailers. Wait with the vehicle rather than at the harbour itself, and tell us the row or the nearest building.

Why Call Us for a Tow in Hillarys?

Hillarys is built around its boat harbour: restaurants, the aquarium and Sorrento Quay cluster around the marina, with Westfield Whitford City in the suburb's north-east and quiet residential streets filling in behind.

  • Hepburn Avenue into Hillarys

    Most people reach Hillarys off Hepburn Avenue from the Mitchell Freeway. A breakdown on it is a live-lane job, so tell us if you are still in traffic rather than already stopped on the verge.

  • The Boat Harbour Carpark

    Southside Drive at Hillarys Boat Harbour gets busy with boats, trailers and cars together, and a vehicle that will not start there is usually boxed in by others. Tell us the row and whether a trailer is attached.

  • Whitford City's Carpark

    Westfield Whitford City in the suburb's north-east has its own multi-level carpark, and a vehicle that will not start there can be a few floors up. Give us the level and the bay.

  • Quiet Streets Behind the Harbour

    Away from Hepburn Avenue and the marina, Hillarys is residential streets with cars parked either side. A tilt tray needs about two bays of clear verge, not a driveway.

Towing Around Hillarys

Hillarys sits in the City of Joondalup, 21km north-north-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.

Roads through the area

  • Hepburn Avenue
  • Marmion Avenue
  • Whitfords Avenue
  • Southside Drive

Landmarks and local spots

  • Hillarys Boat Harbour
  • Sorrento Quay
  • Westfield Whitford City
  • The Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA)

The marina means boats and trailers on top of the usual cars, and anything parked within sight of the harbour has salt air to deal with.

Where We Get Called in Hillarys

  • Give Us the Road

    The roads carrying most of Hillarys are Hepburn Avenue, Marmion Avenue, Whitfords Avenue and Southside Drive. Any one of those is enough of a location for us to start from, and a cross street makes it exact.

  • Or Name a Landmark

    Off the main roads a landmark beats an address every time. Hillarys Boat Harbour, Sorrento Quay, Westfield Whitford City and the Aquarium of Western Australia all work as a starting point, and a dropped pin from your phone works better than any of them.

  • Worth Knowing on These Roads

    Hepburn Avenue and Marmion Avenue form two sides of the suburb's boundary, so naming which one you are near is usually enough to place you.

  • A Price Before a Truck Leaves

    You tell us where in Hillarys 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.

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Yes. Hepburn Avenue, Marmion Avenue and Whitfords Avenue are all we need to start with in Hillarys, and a cross street or a landmark makes it exact. A dropped pin from your phone is better than either.

    • Hillarys is 21km north-north-west of the Perth CBD, and distance is part of what a tow costs anywhere. You hear the number before we dispatch, so there is no surprise at the other end.

    • Hillarys is 21km north-north-west of the Perth CBD, so the honest answer depends on where we are when you ring. Call us and you will get a real timeframe before you commit to it, rather than a number that sounds good on the phone.
