salvage tow, broken down car

A salvage tow will remove vehicles that are bogged, stuck deep in the forest, beyond repair, burnt out or abandoned. A salvage vehicle will be towed to the closest salvage yard to be destroyed or used for parts depending on its condition. In this blog we discuss what you need to know when requesting a salvage service.

Safety first

Before requesting a salvage tow, it is important to ensure that you are in a safe location. This is important as off-road vehicles incidents can be unpredictable and unsafe. Keep a safe distance from the vehicle while waiting for your tow service and allow the tow truck to complete the job unhindered.

Bogged or off-road

From bogged vehicles, cars stuck in creeks and rivers, down embankments or stolen vehicles that have been recovered by Police,  a salvage towing service will ensure that your vehicle is taken to a secure holding yard with minimal fuss. For safety reasons, it is important to request a salvage tow rather than abandoning the vehicle.

Ahmed took great care and attention to detail in loading and unloading my BMW M4. It's not every day you find a towing company that knows how to handle prestige vehicles.

We needed to tow our Porsche 997.2 Carrera from the depths of our apartment carpark to Porsche Centre Melbourne. GT used a low rise unit operated by Tom to enter the carpark and collect our cherished vehicle. Tom's executed the tow with great skill and performed a flawless job. I would not hesitate to use GT and Tom for this task again - hopefully will never need to!

Our car was stuck in one of the steepest and angled driveways that barely had room for one car. Tom was amazing and really took the time to technically work it out and incredibly got the car out unscathed! Very impressed and grateful for the help we were given today, would highly recommend Tom, he’s a legend!

These guys are awesome! Used them twice now and was lucky enough to have Tom tow it both times, he took care of my pride and joy, kept me in the loop regarding pick up and drop off and went over and above to make sure my car was looked after. Highly recommend to anyone.

Unfortunately I found myself in a situation with one deflated run-flat tyre but Tom at Gardenstate Towing came to my rescue. Tom was absolutely pleasant and courteous! Let me ride up front and dropped me off home along the way to South Yarra BMW. Highly recommend Tom and Gardenstate Towing services!

Fred was great! He towed my son’s car late at night and was incredibly positive and non-judgemental. His customer service skills was second to none, and someone who modelled a genuine enthusiasm for his work. What a great role model!
