Breakdowns rarely happen anywhere convenient. A Townsville breakdown tow is most often called from a service-station forecourt, the side of Riverway Drive, the Ring Road shoulder or a residential street where a battery has finally given up after a long Dry. The operators we recommend specialise in getting drivable-but-not-quite cars onto a tilt tray quickly, and getting them to the mechanic, dealership or auto-electrician you actually want — not whichever workshop the tow company has a deal with. They are the right call when your car will start but will not move, when warning lights have lit up and you do not want to risk the next 20km, when you have run out of fuel beyond walking distance, or when a flat battery is not responding to a jump. If you are not sure whether you need a full tow or roadside, mention the symptoms on the call and the operator will advise.
