When it’s usually possible
- The vehicle is on the street or an open driveway.
- There is space for the truck to line up safely.

- You can confirm the address and a time window.
What commonly delays pickup
- Flat tyres or no tyres (still towable, but slower to load).
- Tight garages, narrow gates, or steep driveways.
- Unit blocks with low clearance or tight turns.
- Clearway times and busy streets with no safe loading zone.
Local note: Altona
Some Altona streets and unit blocks have tight kerbside parking.
This can affect where a tilt tray can line up safely.

FAQs
What time should I call for the best chance today?
Earlier is better. Morning calls usually give more options in the schedule.
What details help you confirm timing faster?
The address, where it is parked, and any access limits.
Does having no tyres stop a same-day pickup?
No. It can reduce timing options because loading usually takes longer.
Can you still collect if I’ve lost the keys?
Often yes. Tell us early because steering lock can change the loading plan.
Can you pick up from a clearway street?
Sometimes. Tell us the signage times and the safest loading spot, and we will book the best window.
Does rain change pickup timing?
It can. Wet driveways and tight access can slow loading, so we plan for safety first.
