Frequently Asked Questions — Breakdown & Towing Artarmon

Q: Does Brumby Motors offer roadside assistance?

A: Call us first — for some breakdowns we can provide phone guidance that gets you moving again. If your vehicle needs to come in, we’ll help coordinate towing to our workshop. For 24/7 roadside assistance, NRMA Roadside Assistance or your insurer’s assistance program can provide on-road support.

Q: What should I do if my car overheats on the road?

A: Pull over immediately and turn the engine off. Do not keep driving — overheating causes rapid and serious engine damage. Do not open the radiator cap while the engine is hot. Call us and we’ll advise on whether a tow is needed.

Q: How much does towing to your workshop cost?

A: Towing costs vary based on distance and the towing operator. Call us and we can give you a guide price based on your location. In many cases, insurance roadside assist or NRMA will cover the towing cost.

Q: Can you diagnose my car the same day it arrives by tow?

A: We do our best to assess towed-in vehicles promptly. If you call ahead and explain the situation, we’ll prioritise where we can. We’ll contact you with our findings and a quote as quickly as possible.
