No Fuel Levy Towing Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 10:40 am ·

Diesel’s gone up. We haven’t used it as an excuse to sting you.

Everyone knows fuel prices have been rough lately — and when you run tow trucks across the Sunshine Coast and beyond, diesel is a big part of the job.

But here’s the thing.

Maroochydore Towing has not added a fuel levy or used rising diesel prices as a reason to suddenly bump up prices on our customers.

Why?

Because we know most people call a tow truck when they’re already having a bad day.

You might be broken down on the side of the road, dealing with an accident, trying to get a work vehicle moved, stuck with a caravan or boat, or needing help at the worst possible time.

The last thing you need is extra charges thrown at you just because the cost of fuel has gone mad.

We’re still covering the Sunshine Coast and beyond.
Still available 24/7.
Still turning up when you need us.
Still doing our best to keep towing affordable, fair and reliable.

We’re a local, family owned business, and we know locals are feeling the squeeze too.

So we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done:

Answer the phone.
Send the right truck.
Get the job sorted.
And keep the price as fair as we possibly can.

Need a tow, transport or recovery? Call Maroochydore Towing anytime on (07) 5443 9185.

Two Vehicle Accident Towing Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 10:34 am ·

Two vehicles, one bad moment, and a whole lot to sort out.

A crash like this is a reminder that things can go wrong very quickly on the road.

One second you’re heading home, getting to work, doing the school run, or making a quick trip up the street — next thing, there’s damaged vehicles, emergency services, traffic building up, shaken drivers and a tow job that needs to be handled properly.

That’s where we come in.

Accident towing isn’t just about moving wrecked cars. It’s about turning up calmly, working with police and emergency services when needed, clearing the scene safely, and making sure the vehicles get where they need to go.

If you’re ever involved in a crash:

Get yourself and passengers safe first.
Call 000 if anyone is injured or in danger.
Stay clear of traffic.
Don’t try to drive a badly damaged vehicle.
Take photos and exchange details if it’s safe to do so.
Call Maroochydore Towing as a preferred Sunshine Coast licensed tow operator to move the vehicle properly.

No one plans for an accident, but having the right help makes the next step a bit easier.

Maroochydore Towing is available 24/7 for accident towing and vehicle recovery across the Sunshine Coast.

When the day goes sideways, we’ll help get it sorted.

We’re always nearby and ready to help – call us now so we can be there for you ASAP (07) 5443 9185.

Specialist Vehicle Transport Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 10:23 am ·

Trusted by Sunshine Coast Council to move more than just cars.

Not every tow job is a breakdown on the side of the road.

Sometimes it’s something a bit different — like helping transport this EasyMile EZ10 electric autonomous shuttle by Transdev – used in public demonstrations and trials around Queensland, including right here on the Sunshine Coast.

This little red unit might look like something from the future, but the job behind it is the same as always:

Load it right.
Secure it properly.
Get it there safely.
No fuss.

We’re proud to support work connected with Sunshine Coast Council and local transport projects, especially when it shows what’s possible for the future of mobility in our region.

Whether it’s a family car, work ute, boat, plant equipment, caravan, machinery, specialist vehicle or something you definitely don’t see every day — Maroochydore Towing has the gear, experience and steady hands to move it.

Local. Reliable. Independent.
And trusted to get the important jobs done.

Need something moved? Call us anytime on (07) 5443 9185.

Tiny Home Towing & Relocations

Tracey · 10:04 am ·

Maroochydore Towing relocating a tiny home on a rural Sunshine Coast property

Found the perfect spot? We’ll help get your tiny home there

Tiny homes are changing the way people think about living.

For some, it is about affordability and having more choice in how and where they live. For others, it is about freedom, downsizing, less maintenance, living closer to nature, setting up a weekender, creating guest accommodation, or finally making use of a beautiful block of land.

For many, it is also about something bigger — the chance to step away from rising rents, get out of the rental cycle, and move toward a place they can truly call their own. For some, a tiny home is not just an option — it is their dream home and a practical way to make that dream happen.

Whatever the reason, one thing is true: finding the right tiny home is only half the job.

The other half is getting it safely to where it needs to be.

That is where Maroochydore Towing comes in.

Local tiny home transport across the Sunshine Coast and beyond

We provide tiny home towing and relocation services for customers across the Sunshine Coast, hinterland and surrounding regions.

Whether your tiny home is heading to a private block, acreage property, bush retreat, holiday site, family land, temporary accommodation setup or a more permanent location, our team can help plan the move and get it there safely.

We understand that tiny homes are not always going to neat, flat, easy-access sites.

Sometimes they are going down gravel driveways, through tight gates, around trees, across uneven ground, into rural blocks, up narrow access tracks, or onto properties where a normal truck just will not cut it.

That is why flexibility matters.

The right vehicle for the size, site and access

No two tiny home relocations are exactly the same.

Some are straightforward. Some need a careful look at access, weight, height, turning room, ground conditions and where the home needs to sit once it arrives.

Maroochydore Towing has a capable fleet with different vehicle options, allowing us to match the right towing setup to the job.

No matter the size or location, we will work out the best way to get your tiny home moved safely and efficiently.

Before the move, it helps to know:

The size and weight of the tiny home
Pickup and delivery addresses
Road access and driveway conditions
Gate widths and turning space
Overhanging trees, powerlines or tight corners
Whether the site is sealed, gravel, grass, sloped or uneven
Where the tiny home needs to be positioned on arrival

The more we know upfront, the smoother the move.

Built for the jobs that need a steady hand

Tiny homes are more than just trailers or cabins. They are people’s homes, investments, businesses, holiday escapes and long-term plans.

We treat them that way.

Our experienced team knows how to handle awkward access, larger loads and relocations that need patience, planning and the right gear. We are not here to rush it or make a mess of your property.

We are here to get it done properly.

Load it right.
Tow it safely.
Position it carefully.
Get it where it belongs.

Perfect for private, rural and bush locations

A lot of tiny home owners are chasing something specific: peace, privacy, views, space, trees, fresh air and a bit more freedom.

That often means the destination is not a standard suburban driveway.

It might be tucked away on a hinterland block, set up for short-stay accommodation, placed beside a shed, moved onto family land, or positioned somewhere with limited access.

That is where local experience counts.

We know the Sunshine Coast is not just beaches and main roads. It is acreage, bush blocks, steep driveways, rural lanes, tight turns, wet ground and properties that need a bit of common sense to access.

We will help work through the practical side of the move so your tiny home gets to site with less stress.

Supporting the tiny home lifestyle

Tiny living is about making better use of space, money, land and lifestyle.

For some people, it means fewer bills and less clutter. For others, it means creating a backyard retreat, a rental opportunity, a home office, a farm stay, a guest space, or a simple place to live without overcomplicating life.

For many, it is also about taking control — having more choice, reducing housing pressure, and creating a path out of the rental trap into something that feels like their own.

The beauty of a tiny home is flexibility.

But that flexibility only works when you can move it when you need to.

Whether you are buying, selling, relocating, repositioning or setting up on a new block, Maroochydore Towing can help.

Need a tiny home moved?

If your tiny home needs to go from one site to another, give us a call.

We will talk through the size, location, access and best vehicle for the job, then work out a practical plan to get it moved safely.

From suburban blocks to bush settings, local moves to longer transport jobs, we have the vehicles, experience and straight-talking service to get your tiny home where it needs to be.

Aviation Equipment Transport Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 9:45 am ·

Helicopters are impressive in the air. On the ground? That’s a different job altogether.

Watching a helicopter move through the air is something else — smooth, precise and powerful.

But when the rotors are not spinning, moving aviation equipment takes a different kind of precision.

That is where specialised ground handling gear comes in.

This job involved transporting a helicopter ground handling frame — the kind of equipment used to help move and position helicopters safely when they are on the ground, around hangars, maintenance areas, airfields and transport points.

It is not your average tow job.

Aviation work comes with serious expectations. Airside environments need care, awareness and professionalism. There are safety requirements, restricted access areas, procedures, and the constant need to avoid FOD — foreign object debris — that can create real risks around aircraft and operating areas.

So when you are moving equipment used in that environment, there is no room for guesswork.

The gear needs to be loaded properly.
Secured properly.
Transported carefully.
And handled by people who understand they are working around valuable equipment and high-responsibility sites.

That is where Maroochydore Towing comes in.

From everyday breakdowns to plant, machinery, commercial vehicles, boats, caravans, tiny homes and specialist transport, we have the trucks, equipment and experience to manage the jobs that need a bit more planning and a lot more care.

With multiple size tow trucks and capacity up to 10 tonne, we can help move unusual, valuable and awkward gear safely across the Sunshine Coast and beyond.

No rushing.
No shortcuts.
No “near enough is good enough.”

Just the right truck, the right gear and a local team trusted to get specialist jobs done properly.

Need aviation, plant or specialist equipment moved? Call Maroochydore Towing anytime on (07) 5443 9185.

Water Recovery Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 9:05 am ·

When a vehicle is in the water, it is not just about the car

When a car ends up in the water, time matters.

This is not your everyday tow.

Water recoveries need to be handled quickly, carefully and properly — because once a vehicle is in a creek, river, canal or boat ramp area, there is more at risk than just the car.

There can be fuel, oil, coolant, batteries, glass, sharp debris, unstable ground, tides, soft mud, boat traffic, curious bystanders, and wildlife using the same waterway.

That is why this sort of job needs the right gear and a steady plan.

Maroochydore Towing recovering a vehicle from water near a boat ramp on the Sunshine Coast

In this recovery, the first step was getting access to the vehicle safely from the ramp area. From there, the recovery line was set, the vehicle was secured, and the winch was used to bring it back toward solid ground without making the situation worse.

Slow and steady matters.

Pull too hard, rush the setup, or use the wrong angle and you can damage the vehicle further, tear up the ramp, create more debris, or put people too close to danger.

Water recoveries need a bit of common sense:

Keep people clear.
Check the access.
Secure the vehicle properly.
Watch the conditions.
Protect the waterway.
Get it out as safely and efficiently as possible.

The faster the vehicle is recovered, the better chance there is of reducing environmental risk and keeping the area safe for boaties, paddlers, swimmers, wildlife and everyone else who uses our waterways.

Maroochydore Towing has the gear, experience and local knowledge to handle more than standard roadside jobs — including accident towing, tricky recoveries, boat ramp incidents and vehicles that have ended up where they definitely should not be.

No panic.
No shortcuts.
No making a mess of it.

Just the right recovery plan to get the job sorted.

Specialist Machinery Transport Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 8:37 am ·

Not every job is just down the road.

This spider crane needed to get to Russell Island — so that meant truck, ferry, timing, access, load security and a bit more planning than your average move.

No worries.

With growth and building work happening across Russell Island and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, getting the right machinery to site matters. Builders, contractors and operators cannot afford to have gear sitting on the wrong side of the water when the job is ready to go.

That is where experience counts.

Moving machinery is not just about having a truck big enough. It is about working out the full job:

How heavy is it?
How does it need to be loaded?
Is there ferry access?
What is the site like at the other end?
Is there enough room to unload safely?
What timing does the client need?

From local Sunshine Coast jobs to trickier relocations involving ferries, islands, rural sites, tight access and specialist gear, Maroochydore Towing works with clients to get equipment where it needs to be.

No fuss.
No drama.
No “too hard basket.”

Just the right vehicle, the right gear and a team that knows how to get the job sorted.

Need plant, machinery or specialist equipment moved? Call Maroochydore Towing anytime on (07) 5443 9185.

Caravan Towing

Tracey · 8:23 am ·

Caravan needs moving? We’ll get it there without the drama.

Caravans are a big part of life on the Sunshine Coast — weekenders, family vans, off-grid setups, project vans, bought-and-sold vans, and the good ones people have spent years dreaming about.

And then there are Airstreams.

Beautiful, iconic, expensive, and usually owned by people who quite rightly want them treated with a bit more care than “just chuck it on and hope for the best.”

We get it.

Whether your caravan needs to go to a new owner, a workshop, storage, a holiday site, a private block, a rural property, or back home after the tow vehicle or trailer has let you down, we’ve got the trucks and experience to move it properly.

Not every pickup or drop-off is easy either. Some vans need to get into tight driveways, acreage blocks, bush locations, narrow access points, soft ground, sloped sites or places where the wrong vehicle will make a mess of the job pretty quickly.

That’s why we match the right truck to the job.

We look at the van, the access, the site, the weight, the turning room and where it needs to end up — then we work out the safest way to get it there.

No rough handling.
No rushing.
No “she’ll be right” treatment.

Just careful, reliable caravan towing from a local Sunshine Coast team that knows some vans are more than a trailer — they’re pride, memories, money and a whole lot of lifestyle.

Caravan, Airstream or specialty van needs moving? Give Maroochydore Towing a call and we’ll get it sorted.

Commercial Truck Towing Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 8:13 am ·

When a work truck stops, the job stops.

Commercial vehicles are built to work — deliveries, tools, equipment, stock, supplies, job sites, customer calls, early starts and long days.

So when a truck breaks down or needs moving, it is not just an inconvenience. It can throw out the whole schedule pretty quickly.

That is where Maroochydore Towing comes in.

We have the trucks, gear and experience to move commercial vehicles safely across the Sunshine Coast and beyond — from smaller work trucks and vans through to larger commercial vehicles that need the right equipment and a steady hand.

Whether it needs to go to the mechanic, depot, workshop, job site, storage yard or back to base, we will work out the best way to get it there.

No mucking around.
No guessing.
No dragging it out longer than it needs to be.

Just reliable commercial truck towing from a local team that understands downtime costs money.

Broken down? Bought or sold a work truck? Need a commercial vehicle moved?

Call Maroochydore Towing anytime on (07) 5443 9185 and we’ll get it sorted.

Awkward Load Transport Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 8:04 am ·

Not everything we move has wheels on the ground.

This big orange unit is a serious bit of custom fabrication for a Mega truck — the kind of load that needs more than “she’ll fit, mate.”

Large body shells, custom builds, commercial fit-outs, specialist trailers and awkward oversized gear all need the right truck, the right setup and a fair bit of know-how to move safely.

That is where Maroochydore Towing comes in.

With multiple size tow trucks and capacity up to 10 tonne, we can help move the jobs that do not fit neatly into the everyday towing box.

These bigger moves take planning:

How heavy is it?
How wide is it?
Where is it being picked up from?
Is there room to load?
What is the access like at the other end?
How do we secure it properly so it arrives the way it left?

No guessing.
No rushing.
No “near enough is good enough.”

Just the right truck, the right gear and a local team that knows how to get awkward loads where they need to go.

From cars, boats and caravans to plant, machinery, tiny homes, custom builds and specialist transport — if it can be moved, we’ll work out how to move it.

Need something big, awkward or out of the ordinary transported?

Accident Towing Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 3:05 am ·

This is why we say: get safe first, sort the vehicle second.

A crash like this is never just “a towing job.”

It is a shaken driver.
It is traffic moving past.
It is emergency services doing their work.
It is damaged vehicles, debris, blocked lanes and a scene that needs to be handled properly.

When two vehicles are involved, there can be a lot going on very quickly — and the safest thing you can do is slow everything down.

If you’re ever involved in an accident:

Get yourself and passengers away from traffic if it’s safe.
Call 000 if anyone is injured, trapped or in danger.
Put your hazards on if you can.
Don’t stand between vehicles or near moving traffic.
Don’t try to drive a badly damaged car home.
Call a licensed tow operator to move it safely.

Modern vehicles can hide damage you can’t see straight away — steering, suspension, tyres, brakes, airbags, fluids and electrics can all be affected.

That quick “I’ll just get it around the corner” can turn into another problem pretty fast.

Maroochydore Towing is available 24/7 for accident towing and recovery across the Sunshine Coast.

When the road turns ugly, we’ll help get it sorted safely.

Call us now so we can be there for you ASAP (07) 5443 9185.

Vehicle Recovery Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 10:06 am ·

Around the Sunshine Coast, we all know how fast the weather can change.

One minute it is just heavy rain. Next minute, low-lying areas are filling up, creeks are rising, drains are backing up, roads are going under and the ground around the edges is soft, slippery and ready to give way.

That is when a simple recovery can become a dangerous one.

This bike ended up in the creek, and getting it out was not just a matter of jumping down the bank and dragging it up.

Creek edges, wet embankments and soft ground can collapse without much warning. Add murky water, slippery grass, hidden branches, mud, unstable footing and the risk of more rain coming through, and you need a proper plan before anyone starts moving gear.

That is why experience matters.

A recovery like this needs the right setup, the right angle, and people who know when to slow down and think it through.

Keep people clear.
Check the ground.
Watch the water level.
Choose the safest recovery point.
Protect the creek and surrounding area.
Get the vehicle or bike out without creating another emergency.

Flooded roads, creek crossings and waterlogged edges are unpredictable. Even if the water does not look deep, the ground underneath can be washed out, soft or moving.

If your vehicle or bike ends up somewhere it should not be after heavy rain, do not risk yourself trying to recover it.

Call an experienced local towing and recovery team that knows the Coast, knows the conditions, and has the gear to get it sorted safely.

Maroochydore Towing is available 24/7 for accident towing, vehicle recovery and tricky retrieval jobs across the Sunshine Coast.

When the weather turns nasty, we’ll help get it sorted. A bit of rain on the Coast can turn ugly pretty quick

Boat Towing

Tracey · 8:16 am ·

Boat trailer let you down?

Bought a boat and need it moved? We’ve got you.

There’s no shortage of boats around the Sunny Coast — tinnies, bowriders, fishing boats, ski boats, project boats, “just picked it up off Marketplace” boats… you name it.
But when the tow vehicle gives up, the trailer fails, the bearings cook themselves, or you’ve bought or sold a boat and it needs to get from A to B, that’s where we come in.
We’ve got the tow trucks and gear to move boats of various sizes safely and get them where they need to be — home, workshop, marina, storage yard, new owner’s place, or wherever the next stop is.
No mucking around trying to limp a dodgy trailer down the road.
No stressing about whether the car will make it.
No drama.
Just a local Sunshine Coast towing service that knows the area, knows the gear, and turns up when you need it.
Boat needs moving? Give us a call and we’ll get it sorted.

Fleet Vehicle Towing Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 10:50 am ·

Breakdowns don’t care what badge is on the door.

Even police vehicles need a tow sometimes.

When a vehicle like this needs moving, it is not just another job. These are valuable, important fleet vehicles that need to be handled properly, loaded safely and transported without drama.

That is where reliability matters.

Maroochydore Towing is trusted to move all kinds of vehicles across the Sunshine Coast — from family cars and work utes to emergency service vehicles, commercial fleets, classics, boats, caravans, plant and specialist gear.

If organisations with important assets can rely on us to get the job done, locals can too.

Whether you are broken down, involved in an accident, moving a vehicle, or dealing with something a bit out of the ordinary, we have the trucks, gear and experience to help.

No fuss.
No shortcuts.
No mucking around.

Just a local, independent towing team that turns up and gets it sorted.

Need a tow? Call Maroochydore Towing anytime on (07) 5443 9185.

Classic Car Towing

Tracey · 10:35 am ·

Classic cars aren’t just cars. We get it.

They’re years of work, weekends in the shed, hard-earned money, family memories, and a fair bit of pride wrapped up in chrome, paint and horsepower.

So when your pride and joy needs moving, you don’t want someone treating it like “just another tow.”

Whether it’s headed to a mechanic, a show, a new home, a buyer, or back to the shed after deciding it’s had enough for one day — we’ll take care of it properly.

We understand classic cars can be low, rare, delicate, temperamental, valuable, sentimental… and sometimes all of the above.

That’s why we take the time to load it right, secure it properly, and get it where it needs to go without the drama and we have the trucks to move it safely!

No rush job.
No rough handling.
No “she’ll be right” attitude.

Just careful local towing from people who know that some cars mean a hell of a lot more than their rego plate.

Classic needs moving? Give us a call. We’ve got you.

We’re always nearby and ready to help – call us now so we can be there for you ASAP (07) 5443 9185.

EV Accident Recovery Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 10:20 am ·

Maroochydore Towing recovering a damaged Tesla after a guard rail accident on the Sunshine Coast.

Sometimes you look at the vehicle and wonder how anyone walked away.

This Tesla came off second best against a guard rail — and thankfully, the driver walked away without even a scratch.

That is the best result you can hope for in a bad situation.

Cars can be repaired or replaced. People cannot.

Once everyone is safe, the next job is getting the vehicle recovered properly. With modern vehicles like Teslas, EVs and other late-model cars, you do not just drag them around and hope for the best. There can be battery systems, electronics, suspension damage, locked wheels, airbags and safety systems to consider.

That is where experience matters.

If you are ever involved in a crash:

Get yourself and passengers safe first.
Call 000 if anyone is injured or in danger.
Stay clear of traffic and damaged barriers.
Do not try to drive a badly damaged vehicle.
Call a licensed tow operator to recover it safely.

A crash like this is a good reminder that even when the driver is okay, the vehicle still needs to be handled with care.

Maroochydore Towing is available 24/7 for accident towing, EV recovery and vehicle transport across the Sunshine Coast.

When the day goes sideways, we’ll help get it sorted.

We’re always nearby and ready to help – call us now so we can be there for you ASAP (07) 5443 9185.

Truck Recovery Sunshine Coast

Tracey · 9:17 am ·

When the load lets go, the whole day changes pretty quick

This one was a decent reminder that it doesn’t take much for a normal work run to turn into a big roadside recovery.

A loaded truck, turf on board, traffic moving around it, and suddenly the job is no longer about getting to site — it’s about keeping people safe, clearing the road, recovering the vehicle and getting everything under control.

That’s where experience matters.

Accident towing isn’t just hooking up a car and driving off. Sometimes it means dealing with a rolled vehicle, loose load, damaged gear, blocked lanes, traffic risk, emergency services, and a driver who’s had a rotten day.

A few reminders for anyone moving loads around the Coast:

Secure your load properly before you leave.
Check straps, weight and balance.
Take corners and roundabouts with the load in mind.
Leave extra room in traffic.
And if something does go wrong, get yourself safe before worrying about the vehicle or the gear.

We’re always nearby and ready to help – call us now so we can be there for you ASAP (07) 5443 9185.
