About tyre changes
Roadside tyre changes cover the common failure points: seized wheel nuts, missing locking nut keys and space savers buried under luggage. If there is no usable spare, the fallback is a tow to a tyre shop, so tell the operator which situation you are in when you call. On freeways, stay behind the barrier while the change is done.
Getting quotes in Melbourne
Before booking a tow truck operator for tyre changes, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.
Local knowledge counts
A business may list the Capital Cities as a service area without being available for every Melbourne request. Ask about local experience, timing and the full price if the provider responds.
Quick answers
What details should I have ready when I call?+
Location pin or street corner, vehicle make and model, whether it starts and rolls, and where you want it taken. Mention underground car parks or low clearances immediately, since not every truck fits. A photo of the car's situation helps the operator send the right gear the first time.
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.
