A Towing Service for Healesville and the Yarra Valley


Healesville is the heart of the Yarra Valley, about 60 kilometres from Melbourne on the Maroondah Highway. The town draws visitors to the wineries and the wildlife sanctuary, and it is home to farms, tradies, and families who rely on their vehicles every day.


Towing here covers a lot of ground. Some calls are breakdowns on a back road, and others are planned moves between a property and a workshop. Yarra Valley Towing handles both, with one number to call and a fleet built for the work.

Why a Tilt Tray Suits Most Jobs

A tilt tray lowers to the ground so a vehicle can be winched or driven on and then carried with all four wheels off the road. That protects the drivetrain, which matters for AWD cars and EVs.


The fleet of six tilt tray trucks is set up for secure loading:


  •  Winches, ramps, and certified anchor points for securing loads.
  • Extended ramps for lowered vehicles.
  • Satellite tracking on each truck, so dispatch knows who is closest.
  • Operators trained in load security, so the vehicle arrives in the same condition it left.

 

  Who Uses Towing in Healesville


Customers include:


  •  Locals with a car that has failed on the school run or the commute.
  • Tradies and small businesses with work utes and delivery vans.
  • Farmers and growers who need machinery moved between sites.
  • Visitors on a weekend trip whose hire car or caravan has broken down.
  • Property owners who want a spare vehicle or old car cleared away.


  What the Fleet Can Move


The trucks carry most things on wheels and plenty that is not. Typical loads include:


  •  Cars, utes, vans, and four-wheel drives.
  • Motorbikes and scooters.
  • Caravans, camper trailers, and box trailers.
  • Light trucks and small commercial vehicles.
  • Forklifts, bobcats, and similar site machinery.


  If you are unsure whether your load fits, call and describe it. The dispatcher will tell you straight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Two black speech bubbles with a question mark.
  • What Types of Vehicles Does a Healesville Towing Service Cover?

    The fleet covers cars, utes, vans, four-wheel drives, motorbikes, caravans, trailers, light trucks, and light machinery such as forklifts and bobcats. Vehicles are usually carried on a tilt tray with all four wheels off the road. If a load is unusual in size or weight, confirming the details by phone before the truck is sent avoids delays.

  • How Do I Get an Unwanted Car Removed Near Healesville?

    We remove unwanted and abandoned cars at no charge, including vehicles left sitting on a property in or around Healesville. Where possible, the cars are donated to the CFA and SES for training. Call with the car’s location and condition, and we will arrange a time for collection.

  • Can I Get My Vehicle Moved From a Healesville Workshop to Another Garage?

    Yes, planned transfers between workshops, garages, yards, and homes are routine jobs for us. We need the pick-up address, the drop-off address, and a description of the vehicle when the booking is made. Planned work can be quoted in advance, so the details are confirmed before the truck is allocated.

  • Can a Motorbike Be Towed From Healesville?

    Yes, motorbikes and scooters can be towed from Healesville. The bike is loaded onto the tilt tray and secured at certified anchor points so it stays upright for the trip. Operators are trained in load security, so the bike arrives in the condition it left. See the motorcycle towing page for more detail.

  • Why Is a Tilt Tray Used to Tow AWD Cars and EVs?

    AWD cars and EVs can suffer drivetrain damage if their wheels turn while the vehicle is dragged or towed on two wheels. A tilt tray avoids this by carrying the whole vehicle on its deck. The owner’s handbook may list specific towing instructions, which are worth checking for any unusual vehicle.
