Need car towing in Brisbane? TowFast Brisbane can transport suitable passenger cars, SUVs and utes that cannot be driven safely, or need to move between an accessible pickup point and a mechanic, home, dealership or buyer. Before dispatch we check whether the car rolls, steers and brakes, the loading access, and any low-clearance issues so we can confirm an appropriate truck, price and ETA. If the car has just broken down, see breakdown towing to a mechanic; for a planned private-sale or dealer transfer, see scheduled vehicle transport.
Car towing in Brisbane for breakdowns and non-running vehicles
Car towing is needed when a vehicle cannot be driven, should not be driven, or simply needs to be transported from one location to another. That may be a breakdown at home, a car sitting at a workshop, a vehicle bought privately, an unregistered car, or a non-running vehicle that needs to be moved safely.
TowFast Brisbane focuses on clear job details before dispatch: where the car is, where it needs to go, whether it starts, whether it rolls, and whether there are any loading or access issues.
Call 0434 869 062 with your pickup suburb, drop-off suburb, car type and condition.
Car towing prices in Brisbane
Simple, short-distance local car towing can start from $165 including GST during normal hours where the vehicle can be loaded safely and access is straightforward. This is a starting price, not a fixed rate for every trip.
Your car tow quote depends on the route, travel to pickup, vehicle size and condition, loading difficulty, access, time of day and any additional requirements. Tell us about missing keys, locked wheels, a lowered body kit or a steep driveway before booking. For more detail, see our Brisbane towing prices, or request a quote for your actual trip.
Common car towing jobs
Car towing can be urgent or scheduled. Common jobs include:
- Broken-down cars needing transport to a mechanic.
- Non-running cars that do not start.
- Cars with flat tyres, mechanical issues or warning lights.
- Private sale vehicle pickup after buying or selling a car.
- Unregistered cars that cannot be driven legally.
- Workshop, dealership or storage transfers.
- Cars being moved from homes, yards, car parks or businesses.
- Old or unwanted cars needing removal or transport.
Book car towing: pickup, vehicle condition and destination
For a car tow quote in Brisbane, tell us where the vehicle can be safely loaded, where it is going and whether it can roll freely. A car that starts but must not be driven is a different loading job from a non-running car with locked wheels. Providing these details upfront helps us confirm whether the tow is suitable before sending a truck.
What we need before quoting
A clean quote starts with clear information. Before booking, try to provide:
- Pickup address or pickup suburb.
- Drop-off address or drop-off suburb.
- Car make and model.
- Registration number if available.
- Whether the car is drivable or not drivable.
- Whether it starts, rolls, steers and brakes.
- Whether keys are available.
- Access notes such as narrow street, steep driveway, restricted loading space or blocked-in vehicle.
- Preferred timing: urgent, today, tomorrow or scheduled.
Non-running car towing
A car does not need to start to be towed, but condition details matter. A car that rolls freely is easier to load than one with locked wheels, no keys, flat tyres, steering lock or damaged suspension.
If the vehicle is in a difficult location such as a tight driveway, garage, unit complex, restricted-access property or workshop yard, mention it before dispatch. This helps avoid delays and quote changes.
Lowered cars, locked wheels and loading access
A lowered car or sports vehicle may need additional ramps to reduce the approach angle. If the vehicle has a low front bumper, splitter or body kit, please tell us the clearance and any damage before pickup. Our suitability check also covers flat tyres, locked wheels and electronic parking-brake or steering-lock issues. If normal loading is not possible, we will explain the options rather than promise a tow the truck cannot safely complete.
We do not offer underground car park recovery. For more complex non-starting or non-rolling vehicles, read about non-drivable car towing and include clear pickup photos if available.
Car towing to mechanics, workshops and dealerships
Many car towing jobs involve transport to a mechanic, dealership, tyre shop, auto electrician, workshop or home address. If the car is going to a business, it helps to confirm the drop-off location is open and able to accept the vehicle.
If there is a booking reference, workshop contact name or special drop-off instruction, provide it before pickup.
Private sale and unregistered car transport
Car towing is useful when a vehicle has been bought or sold privately and driving it is not practical. The car may be unregistered, not roadworthy, uninsured, non-running or located too far away for the buyer to collect.
Before arranging pickup, make sure release permission, keys, payment and contact details are sorted between buyer and seller.
