Broken Down in the Northern Suburbs?

The northern suburbs run on a few big roads. The Mitchell Freeway carries the commute down the middle, Marmion Avenue and West Coast Drive run near the coast, Wanneroo Road runs up the eastern side, and Whitfords Avenue, Hepburn Avenue, Ocean Reef Road and Warwick Road cross between them.

If you stop on the freeway, pull as far left as you can, get out on the barrier side and wait behind it. On the avenues, a side street or a shopping centre carpark is a safer place to wait than the verge. When you ring, tell us the road, the direction you were heading and the nearest cross street or exit.

Northern Suburbs We Cover

Every suburb from the coast to Wanneroo Road between Duncraig and Joondalup has its own page, with the roads and landmarks we use to find you there:

    Towing Across the City of Joondalup and Wanneroo

    Most of this corridor sits in the City of Joondalup, with Wanneroo on the far side of Lake Joondalup in the City of Wanneroo. Joondalup itself is 26km north of the Perth CBD and Duncraig about 16km, so the run north is a freeway drive rather than a hop across town.

    Stations and shopping centres are the landmarks most people give, and they are good ones: the carparks are big, but a level and bay number get us to the right car.

    Roads through the area

    • Mitchell Freeway
    • Marmion Avenue
    • Wanneroo Road
    • Whitfords Avenue
    • Hepburn Avenue
    • Ocean Reef Road

    Landmarks and local spots

    • Hillarys Boat Harbour
    • Lakeside Joondalup
    • Whitfords, Warwick and Joondalup railway stations
    • Mullaloo Beach
    • Lake Joondalup

    Near the coast, boats and trailers come back from Hillarys and the Ocean Reef ramp alongside the family cars, and a tilt tray takes either.

      Tell Us the Ramp, Street or Carpark

      Give us the road and the nearest cross street, or a landmark: a station, a shopping centre, a beach carpark. A dropped pin from your phone is better than any of them.

      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.

      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.

      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. From Duncraig, Marmion and Sorrento up to Joondalup, Currambine and Ocean Reef, and from the beach across to Wanneroo Road and Wanneroo itself. If you are not sure whether your street counts, ring and ask.

    • Pull as far left as you can, hazards on, and get out on the side away from traffic. Wait behind the barrier, not in the car. Tell us the direction you were heading and the last exit you passed.

    • Yes. We run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the phone is answered the same at two in the morning as at midday.

    • Yes. Tell us the length, whether the trailer still rolls and which carpark it is in, and we will tell you on the phone what we bring.

    • 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.
