Towing Kennington: Tow Truck & Cash for Cars
Broken down on McIvor Road, or got a spare car sitting in the driveway since the household upgraded? Melbourne Towing and Car Removals covers Kennington as part of our regular Bendigo run — a local driver who knows the streets, not a booking passed on to someone unfamiliar with the area.
Kennington is a mix of established family homes near the reservoir and newer estates stretching toward the edge of the suburb. That combination means we see a bit of everything here: an old family car finally moved on once the kids are driving their own, or a tradie's second vehicle that's been sitting since it was replaced. Either way, our tilt-tray handles it the same way: careful, no fuss, and paid on the spot if you're selling.


Towing Kennington: What We Handle
- Breakdowns on the spot. Flat battery, won't start, overheating near the Don Street shops — we hook up and get you and the car off the road safely.
- Accident recovery. Crash-damaged vehicles recovered from anywhere in Kennington and taken to a repairer, wrecker, or your home.
- Driveway and estate pickups. From the older streets near the reservoir to the newer subdivisions further out, we collect from driveways and garages across the whole suburb.
- McIvor Road corridor recovery. Breakdowns along this busy stretch through Kennington are cleared quickly and safely.
Cash for Cars in Kennington
If it's not worth towing home, we'll buy it there and then.
- Free towing, always. The price quoted on the phone is the price paid on pickup, nothing deducted for the tow.
- Any condition. Running, non-running, unregistered, accident-damaged — all still worth a cash offer.
- Same-day pickup. Call before mid-afternoon and our driver can usually be in Kennington that same day.
- Licensed and insured. Registered motor vehicle trader with public liability cover, so the sale is legitimate and documented.
- Responsible recycling. Fluids drained and up to 98% of every vehicle recycled at EPA-licensed facilities, so an old car doesn't leach into local soil or stormwater.
Why Kennington Locals Choose a Local Crew
Big towing "companies" are often just booking agents that pass your job to whichever subcontractor is free — different truck, different price, different level of care each time. We run our own trucks out of Bendigo, so the crew who quotes you on the phone is the crew who turns up. On the newer Kennington estates with shared driveways, or the older streets near the reservoir with tighter access, that consistency counts.
We also price honestly rather than flat-rating everything. A tidy, later-model second car is worth more than a stripped-out non-runner, and we'll tell you straight which one yours is before you agree to anything.
What Your Car Might Be Worth
Payouts for cars collected from Kennington typically range from a couple of hundred dollars for older non-runners with little left to salvage, up to several thousand for a later-model car, ute or van in reasonable order. Give us the make, model, year and condition over the phone and we'll return an exact figure — no inspection booking required.
