Camel Towing and Mechanical Pty Ltd

We’re a local, family-owned business based right here in Gympie, and we do our best to put locals first — mates helping mates. We take pride in doing things properly, no shortcuts, no guesswork, and no run-arounds, we understand every job is different, and every budget is different, so we’ll always work with you and your needs. Whether it’s your work ute, family car, or trailer, we treat every job like it matters, because it does. We all share the same local roads, so let’s keep them safe. You’ll deal directly with the people doing the work, not a call centre or middleman, which means better communication, honest advice, and a job done right. Logbook Servicing Done Right Keeping up with your servicing isn’t just about ticking a box, it’s about preventing breakdowns before they happen. We carry out full logbook servicing as per manufacturer recommendations, so your warranty stays protected and your vehicle stays reliable. What we check & service: * Engine oil & filter replacement * Full safety inspection * Brakes, steering & suspension * Wheel bearings & driveline components * All fluid levels & condition (coolant, brake fluid, etc.) * Belts, hoses & leaks * Tyres & general condition Planned maintenance works around your schedule. Breakdowns don’t — and can cost you time, money, and jobs. Free Battery Test Every Service We test your battery while your car is already booked in, so you’re not stuck later with a no-start at the worst time. Did you know? A flat or failing battery is responsible for one of the most common breakdowns on the road (often 40–60%). Regular servicing keeps: * Your trailer safe * Your gear protected * You on the road making money * or on the road to a good getaway Don’t Lose Your Bearings… Literally. Most tradies are flat out making a living and most happy campers are flat living and the trailer just keeps rollin, until it doesn’t. We service: * Trailer wheel bearings * Brake systems * Lights & wiring * Suspension & general condition (Because bearings get tired too.) Why it matters: * Bearings wear out over time * Lack of grease = heat = failure * Failure can mean losing a wheel on the road It’s a wheel-y good idea to stay on top of it...before it leaves you stranded. Regular servicing keeps: * Your trailer safe * Your gear protected * You on the road making money * or on the road to a good getaway We’ll Jump Your Car — Not Your Wallet Roadside Assistance Services * Jump starts * Battery replacement * Spare tyre fitting * Tyre inflation * Lockouts * Basic roadside repairs Battery Facts That Matter * Most batteries last 2–5 years * Heat shortens battery lifespan * Failures often happen without warning * CCA = starting power to low = slow or failed start Spare Tyre Info Most vehicles now come with space saver spares: * Max speed: 80 km/h * Limited distance: 50–100 km * Often higher tyre pressure required * Designed for emergency use only Before fitting a spare, we: * Check it’s suitable for the vehicle * Confirm it’s safe to use * Recommend towing if required Getting you going is good but getting you there safely is better. Don’t Lose Your Cool… Or worse get hot-headed and cook your engine Your cooling system is one of the most critical (and most neglected) parts of your vehicle. What we do: * Full coolant flush (not just drain & refill) * Reverse flush to remove built-up debris * System cleaning additives * Fresh coolant to correct spec * Inspection of hoses, radiator & thermostat Why it matters: * Prevents overheating * Protects your engine from internal damage * Stops corrosion inside the system * Extends engine life A proper flush now is a lot cheaper than a cooked engine later.
