Car breakdown towing in Melbourne’s west
If your car has broken down or will not start, call 0469 929 029. Tell us where it is, what is wrong and where it needs to go, and we will tell you whether we can take the job, our current availability and the quote.
Breakdown recovery here means moving a non-running or unsafe car to a mechanic, your home or another destination you choose. It is not onsite repair, and it is not towing from a crash scene.
Is this a breakdown tow?
Yes, if the car needs moving rather than fixing where it stands. The condition details we ask for are enquiry inputs: they help us confirm whether the job and the towing method suit your car.

Crash or breakdown?
If the car was in a collision, accident towing in Victoria runs under separate regulated arrangements. TP Towing does not offer crash-scene towing through this website. Follow directions from police or emergency services.
Arranging a breakdown collection
These are the details we ask for before confirming a breakdown tow. You tell us how things stand; we confirm what fits.
Step 1: Condition of the car
Does it start? Do the wheels roll and does the steering turn? Are the keys available, and is the handbrake or gearbox stuck?
Step 2: Pickup location and access
The exact address, or the road and direction, plus anything that affects loading: a low car park, narrow driveway, gate or slope.
Step 3: Destination
The mechanic, home or other address the car should go to, and whether someone will be there to receive it.
Step 4: We confirm the fit
We tell you whether we can take the job, the towing method that suits the car, our current availability and the quote.
Step 5: You accept
The tow is booked only when you accept the quote and we confirm by phone. For a planned collection, we agree the timing with you.
Breakdown towing questions
Yes, that is what breakdown towing is for, provided the car can be loaded safely. Tell us whether the wheels roll, the steering turns and the keys are available, because a car locked in gear or with a seized wheel changes the arrangement.
If it has stopped somewhere unsafe and needs moving now, see Emergency towing. While you wait, read Car Breakdown Safety in Victoria.
Make and model, condition, ground clearance or modifications, and access at the pickup. These decide whether tray transport suits the car: see Tilt tray and flatbed towing. Prepare Your Vehicle for Towing has a checklist.
Yes. Give the full address of the mechanic, your home or another location; the quote is based on that pickup and destination. If the car was in a crash, different rules apply: see Accident vs Breakdown Towing in Victoria. To plan ahead, Request a towing quote.
Arrange your breakdown tow
Call 0469 929 029 with the car’s condition, the pickup location and the destination. A phone call or email enquiry starts an assessment; it is not a confirmed booking or arrival time.
