Emergency Towing Service for Healesville Roads

Healesville sits roughly 20 kilometres north-east of Lilydale, and the drive along the highway passes through Coldstream and the vineyards before it reaches town. Beyond Healesville, the highway climbs into the forest on the Black Spur, where the road is winding and shaded, and a breakdown can leave you with very little room to move.

Emergency help in this area needs more than a truck. It needs a crew that knows where the highway narrows, where the verges drop away, and how to reach a vehicle safely without blocking the road.

The team responds to urgent situations such as:

Crashes and collisions on the highway and local roads.
Breakdowns that leave a vehicle stranded or unsafe to drive.
Vehicles that have run off the road into a ditch, embankment, or boggy ground.
Flat batteries that a jump start may fix on the spot.
Vehicles that cannot be driven after mechanical or electrical failure.

Recoveries from difficult positions are part of the salvage work, and the page on salvage towing explains how those jobs are handled.

Emergency calls come from across the Healesville district, including:

The Maroondah Highway between Coldstream and town.
Yarra Glen Road.
The roads leading to Healesville Sanctuary and Maroondah Reservoir.

Cellar door traffic builds up on weekends around the wineries, and the combination of visitors, farm vehicles, and heavy machinery makes the local roads busy.

What to Have Ready When You Call

A few details help the dispatcher send the right truck quickly:

Where you are, using a road name, a nearby landmark, or a map pin.
The make and model of the vehicle, and whether it is all-wheel drive or electric.
Whether the vehicle can still move, and any visible damage.
The place you want the vehicle taken.
