Towing Around Malaga

Malaga sits in the City of Swan, 11km north 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.

Malaga is an industrial precinct end to end, with over twelve thousand people working in it. Almost everything we move here belongs to a business, which usually means weight, access and a deadline rather than a roadside rescue.

Roads through the area

  • Reid Highway (State Route 3), with diamond interchanges at Alexander Drive and Malaga Drive
  • Alexander Drive
  • Malaga Drive
  • Beach Road
  • Victoria Road
  • Marshall Road

Landmarks and local spots

  • the Transperth Malaga bus depot
  • the Volgren bus building plant
  • the Beringarra Avenue business area

With that many businesses in one square of streets, most of what moves here is plant, fleet vehicles and equipment rather than private cars.

Where We Get Called in Malaga

The roads carrying most of Malaga are Reid Highway, Alexander Drive, Malaga Drive, Beach Road, Victoria Road and Marshall Road. 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. The Transperth Malaga bus depot, the Volgren bus building plant and the Beringarra Avenue business area all work as a starting point, and a dropped pin from your phone works better than any of them.

With that many businesses in one square of streets, most of what moves here is plant, fleet vehicles and equipment rather than private cars.

Whatever the job turns out to be, the order is the same: you tell us where in Malaga 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 Malaga?

Malaga is an industrial precinct end to end. In 2008 it held 2,409 businesses employing over twelve thousand people, and the suburb itself is effectively the estate.

50+ years of combined experience
  • Two and a half thousand businesses

    Malaga is an industrial precinct end to end, with over twelve thousand people working in it. Almost everything we move here belongs to a business, which usually means weight, access and a deadline rather than a roadside rescue.

  • Reid Highway, two interchanges

    Reid Highway runs across the top with diamond interchanges at Alexander Drive and Malaga Drive. Naming the one you came off saves more time than a street number does.

  • Depots and plant

    The Transperth bus depot and the Volgren plant sit in the middle of it. Around them it is forklifts, machinery and fleet vehicles, and the tonnage is what decides which truck we send.

  • Weight decides the truck

    Plant and equipment is most of the work here, and the tonnage is what settles which truck comes out. Tell us that on the phone and nobody wastes a trip.

Booking a Tow Truck in Malaga

50+ years of combined experience
  • 1. Tell us what it is and where

    Vehicle or machine, roughly how heavy, and whether it rolls. That settles which truck comes out. Reid Highway is enough to place you.

  • 2. We sort the access

    Gate times, who needs to sign, whether a forklift is on site and whether the yard is locked by the time we would arrive.

  • 3. You get a time and a price

    Both up front, before a truck is committed, so a job sitting in a loading bay is not also a job with an open price on it.

  • 4. We load it properly

    Strapped and chained as the load requires. Plant, containers and fleet vehicles each want a different tie-down, not the same one.

  • 5. We deliver and invoice

    To the workshop, the yard or the auction you nominate. If you run regular work with us, ask about account terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Get yourself somewhere safe first, off the carriageway and behind a barrier if there is one. Hazards on, and stay out of the vehicle if you are anywhere near moving traffic.
