Had a great experience with these guys. Towed 2 cars for me in the same afternoon for an incredibly reasonable price. 1 car was a bare-shell, the other was a non-starter, and it was almost impossible to find someone who would take the job. Very professional and friendly tow truck driver, who went the extra mile to get the job done quickly and safely. Much appreciated, cheers!

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.

I was bogged on federal highway in the pouring rain, thinking the worst. That was until the kind gentleman at UNDERGROUND TOWING AND SALVAGE came to my rescue.
He was polite , helpful, humorous and quick to get working , he had me out in 5 mins or less. A real help in a time of need.

Make sure to hit them up whenever your stuck 🫡💯

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Our Towing Services

Find quick answers to the questions Tasmania drivers ask most regarding our service:

Our arrival time depends on your location, traffic conditions and current demand, but we'll provide an estimated arrival time when you call. If anything changes, we'll keep you updated so you know when to expect us.

We know waiting on the roadside can be stressful, so we focus on responding as quickly as possible while keeping you informed throughout the job.

If it's safe to do so, move your vehicle out of traffic and switch on your hazard lights. Stay well clear of moving vehicles and avoid attempting repairs unless you're confident it's safe.

When you call, we'll ask a few questions about your location and the problem so we can send the right vehicle and equipment.

Yes, wherever it's safe and practical. Our first priority is to get your vehicle back on the road, not simply tow it away. Flat batteries, punctures, running out of fuel and some minor issues can often be resolved on-site.

If a roadside repair isn't possible, we'll explain your options and safely tow your vehicle to your preferred destination.

If your vehicle can't be safely repaired, we'll tow it to your preferred mechanic, home or another destination. There's no need to organise another company; we provide both roadside assistance and towing.

We'll explain your options, provide upfront pricing wherever possible and make the process as straightforward as possible.

We assist most passenger vehicles, including cars, SUVs, 4WDs, utes, vans and light commercial vehicles.

If you're unsure whether we can help with your vehicle, give us a call. We'll ask a few quick questions and dispatch the right vehicle for the job.

In most cases, yes. If there's a safe and legal seat available in the tow truck, you're welcome to travel with us to your chosen destination.

If this isn't possible due to the type of job or safety requirements, we'll let you know before we arrive.

If travelling with the tow truck is important to you, mention it when you call so we can plan accordingly.

No. We provide upfront pricing wherever possible and don't believe in hidden fees or unexpected charges.

Before dispatching, we'll ask a few questions about your vehicle and the problem so we can provide an accurate quote. If anything could affect the cost, we'll explain it before the job begins.

Having a few details ready helps us dispatch the right vehicle and provide upfront pricing wherever possible.

We'll usually ask for:

  • Your exact location
  • Your vehicle's make and model
  • A brief description of the problem
  • Where you'd like the vehicle taken if towing is required

The more information you can provide, the quicker we can assess the situation and organise the right assistance.
