I found underground towing in Launceston to be punctual, professional, reliable and respectful. The tower arrived at exact time they said they would, they communicated clearly and respectfully. They enabled accessible paying options and they transported my car to workshop in a timely manner. Overall, i found the service good and the worker was polite and respectful. Prices are reasonable. Well done. Thanks, i would use the service again.

Our Breakdown & Roadside Towing Services

From flat tyres to lockouts, we’ll assess the problem and do everything we can to get you back on the road before recommending a tow.

Flat Tyre Change

A flat tyre doesn't always mean you need a tow. We'll safely replace your damaged tyre with your spare so you can continue your journey. If your spare isn't available or isn't safe to use, we'll tow your vehicle to your preferred tyre shop, mechanic or another destination.

Car Jumpstart

If your battery is flat, we'll safely jumpstart your vehicle where possible. If the battery has failed or another fault is preventing your vehicle from starting, we'll explain your options and arrange towing if required.

Delivery of Emergency Fuel

Run out of petrol or diesel? We'll deliver enough fuel to help you reach the nearest service station safely, so you can get back on the road without unnecessary delays.

On-Site Repairs

Not every breakdown requires a tow. We'll assess the issue and carry out minor roadside repairs where it's safe and practical, with the goal of getting your vehicle moving again as quickly as possible.

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.

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.
