What Is Emergency Towing?
Emergency towing is more than just moving a car. It’s about acting quickly in situations where time and safety matter. These situations can include:
1. Road accidents
2. Sudden breakdowns in traffic-heavy areas
3. Stranded vehicles on freeways or in unsafe spots
4. Flood or water-damaged cars
5. Vehicle fires or electrical faults
6. Illegal parking removal in critical zones
Our trucks are always on the road – fully equipped to handle all emergencies. Our drivers respond immediately, no matter the time or day.
Melbourne’s Trusted 24-Hour Emergency Towing Service
We don’t clock off when things get tough. Punjab Towing operates non-stop, with trained staff on standby every hour of the day. Melbourne’s traffic, weather, and road layout make emergency towing a constant need – especially during peak traffic hours and severe weather.
Whether you break down on the Monash Freeway or slide off-road in a rural stretch outside Craigieburn, we can reach you quickly.
We also provide long-distance emergency towing to regional Victoria on request.
Emergency Towing for Accidents
Accidents happen fast. Whether it’s a minor fender bender or a full vehicle write-off, Punjab Towing handles accident recovery with a calm, methodical approach. Our operators are trained to work in high-pressure scenes – coordinating with police, traffic management, and medical crews when needed.
We help with:
1. Towing damaged vehicles to panel beaters or insurers
2. Removing wrecks from intersections or high-risk zones
3. Photographing the vehicle for claim purposes
4. Providing short-term vehicle storage if required
According to VicRoads Crash Data, Melbourne sees thousands of road collisions annually – with peak risk periods during rain, early morning, and post-work hours. Having a towing partner ready to act during those times is vital.
Emergency Roadside Towing Support
Sometimes, a simple issue can put you in a serious bind. A flat battery in a narrow street. A failed clutch on the highway. Or maybe a tyre blowout in an underground car park. That’s where our emergency roadside towing comes in.
We provide:
1. Immediate recovery from high-risk zones (freeways, tunnels, busy intersections)
2. Safe relocation to the nearest mechanic or service centre
3. Access to basic roadside services (jump starts, fuel delivery, tyre changes)
4. Low-clearance vehicle removal from basements and garages
Our fleet includes tilt-tray trucks, under-lift systems, and flatbeds – all designed to handle cars in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. Every driver is trained to assess and act within minutes of arriving on scene.
Emergency Towing for Electric Vehicles (EVs)
EVs require a different approach in emergencies. You can’t tow an electric car the same way you would a petrol vehicle. Improper handling can damage the battery or powertrain. Our emergency towing team is fully trained to manage EVs safely.
EV emergency towing services:
1. Safe winching onto flatbeds (no dragging or rolling)
2. EV-specific securing systems
3. Careful handling of high-voltage systems
4. Direct transport to EV-certified workshops
We support all major EV brands including Tesla, Polestar, MG, Hyundai, and BYD.
Fast Response Times – Always on Call
We understand that delays during an emergency can make a bad situation worse. That’s why our dispatch system is set up to respond instantly. The moment you call, our GPS system locates the closest available truck and sends it out – often arriving in 30 minutes or less depending on location.
You can call us at any hour – weekends, late nights, public holidays. We never close.
Transparent Emergency Towing Rates
Emergency doesn’t mean overpriced. Our rates are cheap clear, fair, and explained before any towing starts. We quote based on:
1. Location and distance to destination
2. Time of day or night
3. Type of vehicle (standard, EV, luxury)
4. Extra gear or labour if needed (winch, multiple staff)
All quotes are GST inclusive and issued via invoice or digital receipt. Payment options include card, cash, bank transfer, and UPI-based methods.
If your car is insured, we can assist with towing for claimable incidents – including accident recoveries approved by your insurer.
Commercial Emergency Towing Services
Businesses often face urgent vehicle issues – delivery van breakdowns, contractor utes stuck on-site, or employee vehicles disabled on duty. Punjab Towing provides tailored emergency support for commercial clients, fleet managers, and service companies across Melbourne.
Commercial emergency support includes:
1. Priority towing for business accounts
2. On-site breakdown recovery
3. Fast relocations to reduce vehicle downtime
4. Monthly or quarterly billing for repeat clients
We currently assist clients in logistics, construction, trades, and property management. Speak to us for custom service plans.
Safety-Focused Emergency Towing
Safety isn’t optional – it’s at the heart of everything we do. Every tow is completed with full safety checks, vehicle assessment, and secure loading procedures. Our staff follow all Victorian towing regulations and update their training regularly.
Safety features include:
1. Full public liability and goods-in-transit insurance
2. Modern trucks with warning lights and hazard systems
3. High-visibility uniforms for night response
4. Safety cones and traffic signage during recovery
5. Communication with local police if traffic needs management
