Idalia towing — common questions.

Can a prestige SUV be towed without panel damage?

How long should I expect to wait for a tow in Idalia?

Around 30 minutes for the Townsville metro in normal traffic.

Are EV tows handled correctly?

Standard tilt trays handle most modern driveways. Mention any narrow access or low overhangs when you book.
