Questions About Our Towing Services
Find quick answers to the questions Canberra drivers ask most before booking a tow:
In many cases, yes. Underground Towing & Salvage operates a specialist 1.8m low-clearance tow truck designed to access underground car parks that standard tow trucks often can't. Before dispatching a truck, we'll ask a few questions about the location and any known height restrictions to confirm we can safely complete the recovery.
If you're unsure about the available clearance, give us a call. Our team can help determine the best approach before we arrive.
Our specialist underground tow truck requires approximately 1.8 metres of clearance to safely access most underground car parks. Clearance can vary throughout a parking facility, so we'll also consider factors such as ramp angles, overhead services and the vehicle's location before confirming access.
Every underground recovery is different. Taking the time to understand the access before we leave helps us arrive with the right equipment and reduces surprises for our customers.
Protecting your vehicle is our priority.
Every underground recovery is carefully planned based on the available clearance, access conditions and vehicle type. Our experienced operators use controlled loading techniques and specialist equipment to minimise the risk of damage throughout the recovery process.
Whether it's a daily driver, a prestige vehicle or a larger 4WD, we treat every vehicle with the same level of care we'd expect for our own.
Yes. Our team regularly recovers larger vehicles, including SUVs, 4WDs and dual-cab utes, from underground car parks across Canberra. These vehicles often require additional planning due to their size, weight and turning requirements, which is why experience and the right equipment are essential.
If you're unsure whether your vehicle can be recovered from a basement or restricted-access car park, contact us with the vehicle details and location. We'll let you know what's possible before dispatching a truck.
Yes.
We provide underground carpark towing from a wide range of locations, including apartment complexes, shopping centres, office buildings, hotels and other secure parking facilities throughout Canberra. Our specialist low-clearance tow truck is designed for environments where access is limited and standard tow trucks may not fit.
No matter where your vehicle is located, our goal is to make the recovery as straightforward and stress-free as possible through clear communication, careful planning and professional service from start to finish.
For most underground carpark towing requests across Canberra, we typically arrive within 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your location, traffic conditions and current demand. If you're closer to the Canberra CBD or Inner North, we can often arrive even sooner.
Underground carpark towing starts from $200 + GST, but the final price depends on factors such as the vehicle type, location, access conditions and the complexity of the recovery. Because underground recoveries often require specialist equipment and careful planning, every job is assessed individually before dispatch.
Underground Towing & Salvage believes in honest, upfront pricing. We'll collect the information we need over the phone so we can provide an accurate quote wherever possible, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges.
Yes, underground towing is typically more complex due to the specialised equipment and technical skill required to perform a car park extraction.
Absolutely.
Once your vehicle has been safely recovered, we can transport it to your preferred repairer, home, workplace or another suitable destination. If your insurer has nominated a repairer, we can also deliver your vehicle there.
If you're unsure where your vehicle needs to go, let us know when you call, and we'll help you determine the most suitable destination.
Not always. Whether you need to be present depends on the location, vehicle access and whether we can safely retrieve the vehicle without you.
When you contact us, we'll explain what's required based on your situation and let you know if someone needs to meet our operator.
Our goal is to make the recovery as convenient as possible while ensuring your vehicle can be collected safely.
In most cases, yes. If there is a safe passenger seat available and circumstances allow, you're welcome to travel with our operator while your vehicle is being transported. We'll confirm this when you book your tow, as it may vary depending on the type of recovery and destination.
If travelling with the tow truck isn't possible, we'll discuss the available options before the job begins.
To help us prepare for the recovery, it's useful to have your location, vehicle make and model, the type of underground car park, and the destination for your vehicle if a tow is required. If you know the clearance height or any access restrictions, letting us know upfront can also help.
The more information we have before dispatch, the better we can plan the recovery and provide an upfront quote where possible. If you're unsure about any details, don't worry, our team will guide you through the questions when you call.
