Won a car at auction? Gator Towing collects vehicles from Melbourne auction houses and salvage yards and delivers them on a tilt tray to your home, workshop, storage or buyer — running or not.
Fast tow request
Auction purchases often come with a short collection window, a vehicle that may not start, and no registration to drive it home. A tilt tray solves all three: the car is winched aboard if needed, secured, and delivered without being driven a metre.
When you request a quote, tell us the auction house or yard, the lot or stock number, the vehicle and its listed condition, and the collection deadline. Have your release paperwork or collection authority ready — most yards won’t release a vehicle without it. We’ll confirm the price and arrange a collection time that fits the yard’s hours.
