Towing Around Northam

Northam sits in the Shire of Northam, 97km north-east 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.

Roads through the area

  • Great Eastern Highway
  • Route 115
  • The Northam to York and Goomalling roads

Landmarks and local spots

  • The Avon and Mortlock river confluence
  • The Northam pedestrian suspension bridge, the longest in Australia
  • Northam railway junction
  • Northam Airport

Wheatbelt country means farm utes, machinery and caravans on top of the usual cars, and the distances are longer than anything in the metro.

    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. Great Eastern Highway is enough to place you.

  • 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.

Where We Get Called in Northam

  • Give Us the Road

    The roads carrying most of Northam are Great Eastern Highway, Route 115 and the Northam to York and Goomalling roads. 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. The Avon and Mortlock river confluence, the Northam pedestrian suspension bridge, Northam railway junction and Northam Airport all work as a starting point, and a dropped pin from your phone works better than any of them.

  • Worth Knowing on These Roads

    Northam is a major railway junction and the Great Eastern Highway runs straight through it, which is the road most breakdowns out this way happen on.

  • A Price Before a Truck Leaves

    You tell us where in Northam 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 Northam?

Northam is the largest town and the regional centre of the Avon Valley, sitting where the Avon and Mortlock rivers meet at the edge of the Central Wheatbelt.

50+ years of combined experience
  • Ninety-seven Kilometres of Highway

    Northam is a long way out, and pretending otherwise helps nobody. The first thing you get from us is a real number on how long we take and what that costs.

  • Great Eastern Highway Is Where It Happens

    It runs straight through Northam, and it is the road most breakdowns out this way are on. A kilometre marker or a roadhouse name places you better than anything else.

  • Wheatbelt Vehicles

    Farm utes, machinery and caravans on top of the usual cars. Width and height matter as much as weight out here, so tell us all three.

  • Booked Beats Called

    Out here a planned move costs less and suits you better than an emergency callout. If the vehicle is going somewhere and it is not urgent, book it and pick your window.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Northam is 97km north-east of Perth, 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.

    • 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.

    • Northam is 97km north-east of Perth, 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.

      • Motorcycles
      • Caravans and camper trailers
      • Boats and trailers
      • Machinery and equipment
      • Long-distance vehicle transport

      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.
