What should I do if my car breaks down?

First, safely pull over to the side of the road if possible. Turn on your hazard lights, stay in your vehicle if it's safe, and call us. We'll come to your location and assess the situation.

Can you fix my car on the roadside?

Many common breakdown causes like dead batteries, starter motor issues, and minor electrical problems can be fixed on-site. For more complex issues, we'll diagnose the problem and advise on the best solution.

Do I need to tow my car to a workshop?

In most cases, no! That's the benefit of our mobile breakdown service. We bring the diagnostic equipment and tools to you. Only in rare cases where major workshop equipment is required would towing be necessary.

What areas do you cover for breakdowns?

We cover Brisbane Northside and Sunshine Coast areas. If you're unsure whether we can reach you, give us a call and we'll do our best to help.
