We accept a range of convenient payment methods, including cash, EFTPOS, major credit cards, bank transfer and PayID.

Your safety should always come first.
If it's safe to do so, move your vehicle out of the flow of traffic, switch on your hazard lights and wait in a secure location away from passing vehicles. If moving the vehicle isn't possible, remain somewhere safe and follow any instructions from emergency services if they're on scene.
