Magnetic Island is its own situation. Vehicles that travel across by ferry can break down on the island, and vehicles waiting at the Townsville ferry terminal occasionally need a tow back to the mainland workshop. The recommended Townsville operators handle the mainland side of these jobs and can coordinate timing around ferry sailings — important because vehicle ferry slots are not always immediate.
Common towing jobs in Magnetic Island
- Vehicles that will not start at the Townsville ferry terminal
- Mainland-side recovery for vehicles that have come back from the island
- Coordination of vehicle-ferry timing for non-running vehicles
- Pre-trip pickup of project cars being ferried across
