Towing Around Melville

Melville sits in the City of Melville, 10km 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.

Melville is compact, hemmed in by Bicton, Attadale, Palmyra and Willagee. A street name is almost always enough, and Canning Highway or Marmion Street will place you within a block.

Roads through the area

  • Canning Highway
  • Leach Highway
  • Marmion Street

Landmarks and local spots

  • Kadidjiny Park
  • Melville Water on the Swan River
  • the Canning Highway shops

Family cars, utes and the occasional boat coming back from the river are the shape of it here.

Why Call Us for a Tow in Melville?

Melville is a compact residential suburb of about two and a half square kilometres, sitting between Bicton, Attadale, Palmyra and Willagee, just back from the Swan.

50+ years of combined experience
  • Two and a half square kilometres

    Melville is compact, hemmed in by Bicton, Attadale, Palmyra and Willagee. A street name is almost always enough, and Canning Highway or Marmion Street will place you within a block.

  • Leach Highway on one side

    Leach carries freight toward the port, and a breakdown on it is a live-lane problem rather than a quiet-street one. Get well off the carriageway before you call.

  • Back from the river

    Kadidjiny Park and Melville Water are the landmarks people give us, and boats coming back from the river are a fair share of what gets towed around here. Tell us the trailer length.

  • Between the highway and the river

    Canning and Leach bracket the suburb and the streets between them are quiet and close together. A street name is almost always enough to place you exactly.

Where We Get Called in Melville

The roads carrying most of Melville are Canning Highway, Leach Highway and Marmion Street. 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. Kadidjiny Park, Melville Water on the Swan River and the Canning Highway shops all work as a starting point, and a dropped pin from your phone works better than any of them.

Family cars, utes and the occasional boat coming back from the river are the shape of it here.

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

Booking a Tow Truck in Melville

50+ years of combined experience
  • 1. Tell us where you are

    Give us the street and the number, and say where the vehicle is sitting: driveway, verge, garage or round the back. Canning Highway or Kadidjiny Park places you straight away.

  • 2. Tell us what it is doing

    Whether it starts, whether it rolls, whether it is in gear and whether the keys are there. That decides the gear we bring.

  • 3. You get a time and a price

    Both before anything leaves the yard, so you can decide. If traffic moves the arrival, we ring you rather than let it slide.

  • 4. We winch it out and load it

    A tilt tray works from the street, so we rarely need to come onto the property. Onto the deck, strapped down, nothing touched.

  • 5. We deliver and hand over

    To your mechanic, a buyer, an auction or another address. Unloaded where you want it and left where you can get to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Plenty of jobs are a move rather than a rescue: to a repairer, an auction, a buyer or another suburb entirely. Tell us the destination when you book and it is priced as one job.

  • 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.

  • Melville is 10km south-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.

  • Yes. We run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Breakdowns and accidents do not keep business hours, so neither do we.

  • We tow:

    • Cars and utes
    • Motorcycles
    • Caravans and camper trailers
    • Boats on trailers
    • Unregistered and non-running cars
    • Accident and insurance jobs

    If you are not sure whether yours fits, call and ask. We will tell you straight away rather than turn up and find out.

  • Most standard jobs fall between $150–$350, depending on distance and vehicle type. You hear the price before we start, and crash towing is capped by WA law.

  • Yes. We work with the major insurers and can take the vehicle to a repairer, a holding yard or wherever the claim needs it to go. Have your claim number handy if you already have one.
