River States Towing Service

Frequently Asked Questions About River States Towing Service

Can River States Towing Service handle breakdowns in remote locations like Mungo National Park?

Absolutely. Andy has successfully retrieved vehicles stranded deep inside Mungo National Park on multiple occasions. In one instance, a Melbourne family's 4WD camper broke down in the middle of the park, and Andy organised the tow the next day. Another group got stuck due to wet road closures, and Andy checked road conditions daily, secured special council permission, and completed the recovery on day three — saving them from being stranded another week in remote country.

Does River States Towing Service cover long distance towing beyond Mildura?

Yes, Andy specialises in long hauls across Victoria and interstate. He's handled a complicated tow all the way from Mildura to the Mornington Peninsula — roughly 550 kilometres — arranging the right contacts and transport for a project car. Locals tell us he's one of only two operators in the Mildura area equipped and willing to tackle these extended interstate jobs, making him the go-to for travellers needing vehicles moved significant distances.

Can Andy from River States Towing Service tow heavy or oversized vehicles like 4WD campers?

Yes, he's equipped for heavier rigs. Andy successfully towed a 4WD camper that broke down in Mungo National Park back to safety, demonstrating capability with larger, off-road vehicles. He's one of just two tow truck operators in Mildura known to handle heavy vehicle recoveries, which is critical in a region where tourists frequently travel in camper trailers, motorhomes, and modified 4WDs across remote terrain.

Does River States Towing Service offer roadside assistance for lockouts or lost keys in Mildura?

Yes. Andy has helped motorists locked out of their vehicles, including a situation where someone lost their car keys with the spare located interstate. A local car dealer recommended Andy specifically for this type of roadside assistance. He's the only operator among Mildura's four tow truck services known to routinely handle lockout jobs alongside standard towing, making him a versatile option when you're stranded without keys.

How quickly does River States Towing Service respond to breakdowns around Mildura and Mungo?

Andy is known for fast turnaround and persistent follow-up. Locals report next-day service for remote Mungo National Park recoveries, and he checks road conditions daily when access is restricted. Travellers from Sydney and Melbourne tell us his communication is excellent — he answers calls promptly and keeps customers informed throughout. For standard Mildura-area breakdowns, same-day or next-day service is typical, even in challenging rural conditions where other operators might delay.
