About breakdown towing
For a breakdown you choose the destination, and that choice drives the price: a short hop to a local mechanic is often a flat fee, while longer runs are priced per kilometre. Tilt trays suit modern, low or all-wheel-drive cars; traditional lift tows are fine for older two-wheel-drive vehicles. Have your location pin ready; an accurate pin is the difference between a 30 and a 90 minute wait.
Getting quotes in Lockwood
When you enquire about breakdown towing, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
A business may list the Campaspe as a service area without being available for every Lockwood request. Ask about local experience, timing and the full price if the provider responds.
Quick answers
How much does towing cost?+
Local breakdown tows typically cost $100 to $250 within a metro area, with per-kilometre rates around $2 to $5 applying to longer runs. After-hours, weekends and difficult recoveries cost more. Accident towing fees are regulated in several states, so the crash-scene price is not a negotiation.
Can I choose where my car is towed after an accident?+
Generally yes: you or your insurer nominate the destination, commonly the insurer's assessor or your preferred repairer. Get the tow operator's company name, truck registration and a receipt before the car leaves the scene, and photograph the vehicle. If police attend, they may direct the tow, but your insurer still coordinates from there.
How long will a tow truck take to arrive?+
Metro operators typically quote 30 to 60 minutes, stretching in peak hour, storms and weekend nights. An exact location pin, your vehicle type and whether wheels roll all speed up dispatch. If you are in a dangerous spot, say so; operators triage safety jobs first.
