Far North Towing

Frequently Asked Questions About Far North Towing

Does Far North Towing provide towing services outside regular business hours in Mareeba?

Absolutely. Lenny operates 24/7, and locals we've spoken to confirm he responds to late-night and weekend emergencies without hesitation. One Mareeba resident recalls calling at around 10pm and having Lenny arrive straight away. Another customer broke down at 5:30pm and Lenny was on-site within the hour. He's even handled long weekend callouts, including a 10-hour round trip to retrieve stranded campers from a remote location with no internet coverage.

Can Far North Towing handle low-clearance or modified vehicles in Mareeba?

Yes. Lenny has experience with delicate loads, including modified cars with aftermarket body kits. We've heard of him safely towing a 1988 S13 Silvia with an extremely low body kit twice, taking extra care each time to avoid scraping or damage during loading onto the 8-metre tilt tray. Locals with lowered or custom vehicles consistently tell us Lenny's cautious approach and tilt tray setup prevent the undercarriage issues common with traditional hook towing.

What does Far North Towing charge for long-distance towing from Mareeba to Cairns?

Pricing is competitive and straightforward. One local paid $300 for a tow from Davey's Creek near Mareeba all the way to Cairns—a distance many tow truck operators quote significantly higher for. Customers consistently describe Lenny's rates as fair and among the best in the region. For remote recoveries or long hauls across Far North Queensland, he provides upfront quotes and realistic timeframes you can plan around, with no surprise fees afterward.

Does Far North Towing offer roadside assistance beyond just towing in Mareeba?

Yes, Lenny goes further than standard towing. When customers have been stranded, he's provided lifts into town, driven them to emergency accommodation, and recommended trustworthy local mechanics they can use for repairs. One couple stranded remotely over a long weekend received three mechanic referrals and transport to their accommodation. Another customer broken down in Dimbulah was given a lift back into Mareeba after their 4x4 was towed to an autoelectrician.

Can Far North Towing retrieve vehicles and camper trailers from remote locations around Mareeba?

Definitely. Lenny regularly handles remote recoveries across Far North Queensland using his 8-metre tilt tray. He's successfully retrieved cars with attached camper trailers from isolated camping spots hours away from Mareeba, including areas without mobile reception. One recovery involved a 10-hour round trip over a long weekend. Locals stuck up Smits Creek or similar remote areas praise his realistic timeframes, clear communication, and ability to coordinate wrap-around services during stressful breakdowns.
