24/7 Breakdown & Roadside Assistance In Canberra

Breakdown Assistance

Breaking down on the road can be frustrating, but with our fast and reliable Tasmania and Canberra breakdown assistance services, you’re never stuck for long. Underground Towing & Salvage provides 24/7 around-the-clock roadside assistance in Canberra, Queanbeyan and across Tasmania. Reach out to us for services such as tyre changes, jumpstarts, emergency fuel and minor repairs to get your vehicle moving again.

Roadside assistance in Canberra and Tasmania

Our team provides roadside assistance across Canberra, surrounding areas and Tasmania, focusing on interstate highways and major connecting routes. That includes key corridors between towns and through regional areas. In the ACT, this includes coverage throughout Canberra and Queanbeyan, with frequent call-outs along major routes such as the Monaro Highway and Federal Highway.

Roadside or breakdown assistance covers more than just towing. If you’re stranded with a minor issue that doesn’t need a mechanic, we’ll meet you on-site and sort it where possible, helping you stay off the tow truck and get home safely.

Our Roadside Assistance Services

When your vehicle lets you down, having the right support makes all the difference. Our roadside assistance services are designed to address the most common issues drivers face, whether you’re stuck at home, roadside or partway through a journey. From quick fixes to on-the-spot support, we aim to resolve problems efficiently and reduce the need for unnecessary towing wherever possible.

With Underground Towing, you have access to the following services:

Flat Tyre Change in Canberra

If you’ve got a flat, we’ll change it on the spot. We carry the tools to safely jack your vehicle, remove the damaged tyre and install your spare. If your spare is missing or also flat, we’ll tow you to the nearest tyre shop or your home, depending on what you prefer. Whether you’re parked at home, roadside or on a busy route, we’ll attend promptly and carry out the tyre change safely. Our team takes care to work efficiently and minimise disruption while getting you back on the road.

Car Jumpstart in Canberra

We’ll bring your car back to life in no time. If your battery is dead, we’ll test it and jumpstart your vehicle. If it’s a deeper issue (like a faulty terminal or alternator), we’ll let you know and offer breakdown assistance or a tow if needed. We also assist with batteries drained by interior lights, cold weather or extended parking. Jumpstart call-outs are handled quickly, with safety checks carried out before and after assistance. If the issue is likely to recur, we’ll explain what’s happening so you can decide on the next step with confidence.

Delivery of Emergency Fuel in Canberra

We’ll bring you the fuel you need to get back on the road. If you’ve run out of fuel, we’ll deliver enough petrol or diesel to get you to the nearest station. We service both urban and rural roads, including isolated areas in Tasmania where stations are few and far between. This service is ideal if you’ve misjudged fuel range or become stranded away from a service station. We aim to reach you quickly and provide enough fuel to continue your journey without unnecessary delays.

On-Site Repairs in Canberra

We’ll take care of minor issues on the spot. Some breakdowns don’t need a tow. If we can get you running again with a quick fix, we’ll sort it then and there to save you time and stress. On-site repairs are assessed carefully to ensure it’s safe to proceed before any work is carried out. If the issue can’t be resolved immediately, we’ll talk you through the available options so you’re not left guessing.

Servicing of Car Lockout in Canberra

Locking your keys inside your vehicle can happen at any time and often when you least expect it. Our roadside assistance team can help you regain access quickly and carefully, without causing unnecessary damage. Whether you’re locked out at home, work or roadside, we’ll attend promptly and get you back into your vehicle so you can continue your journey with minimal disruption.

Our Promise is to Get You Back on the Road

Our priority is always to get you moving again as quickly and safely as possible. If the issue can be resolved on site, we’ll carry out the fix then and there to save you time and inconvenience. When a repair isn’t possible, we’ll organise towing to your preferred mechanic, repairer or a safe location and clearly explain the next steps so you know exactly what to expect.

Absolutely would recommend! I was provided with absolute care and friendly service from the owner and the driver of the tow truck. To top this off, they were affordable and went the extra mile to help me.
What a pleasure doing business with you and your team. Thank you!

On one of the hottest afternoons of January 2026 (40+°C) Josh rescued me and my vehicle from Kurringa Drive in Spence. It was a Saturday 5pm. Josh was quick to arrive, professional and communicated perfectly with me. My vehicle was transferred to my requested drop off point without fuss. Unfortunately I cannot comment on cost as the tow was booked through Budget Roadside Assist. I will certainly use this provider again if I am in need of this type of service. Thanks Josh!

Absolutely brilliant service. They were so careful with my car and I've never had such an amazing towing experience ever; especially since my car is so low.

Friendly obliging owner and professional service. Having hit a kangaroo at night we decided to leave our car and get a lift; there was no issue with having our car retrieved the next day and we did not need to go along. Price quite reasonable.

Highly recommend. My car was stuck on the third level of the car park in my apartment building. The car park is narrow, low clearance, with steep ramps. I thought it might be impossible to get a tow out of there. But they were there within 30mins of making a phone call. I’m still not sure how they managed to navigate the tricky car park. A really professional service. Incredible value, especially as it was an emergency after hours job.
