The Redlands and Bayside area is a beautiful part of Brisbane — but when you break down out here, you need a tow truck that actually knows the area. We do.
1Our Redlands and Bayside Coverage
We cover the full Redlands City Council area including Cleveland, Capalaba, Wynnum, Manly, Thornlands, Victoria Point, Redland Bay, Alexandra Hills, Birkdale, Wellington Point, and Ormiston. We also cover the Wynnum-Manly corridor along Tingal Road and the Lytton Road industrial precinct. For North Stradbroke Island, we can assist with mainland towing — call us to discuss.
Pro tip: If you break down near the Cleveland or Wynnum foreshore, be aware that some areas have limited mobile coverage. If you can't get through, try moving to higher ground or a main road.
2Response Times in the Redlands
Response times to the Redlands vary by location: Capalaba/Alexandra Hills: 30–40 minutes. Cleveland/Thornlands: 35–50 minutes. Wynnum/Manly: 30–40 minutes. Victoria Point/Redland Bay: 45–60 minutes. Wellington Point/Ormiston: 35–45 minutes. The Redlands is a peninsula — traffic on Cleveland-Redland Bay Road and Finucane Road can add time during peak hours.

5Unique Challenges in the Redlands
The Redlands has some unique towing challenges we've learned to handle over the years. The peninsula geography means there's often only one route in and out of some suburbs — traffic can be heavy on Cleveland-Redland Bay Road during peak hours. The coastal humidity accelerates battery corrosion, so dead batteries are more common here than in inland suburbs. And the older housing stock in Wynnum and Manly means older vehicles that need more frequent roadside assistance.
