Found Yourself Stranded?

Call Your Local Roadside Assistance Experts

When your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere — or even just outside town — it can be stressful, inconvenient, and sometimes even dangerous. At Yarram Automotive Centre, we understand how important it is to have help you can count on when the unexpected happens.

As the official RACV Patrol Depot for Yarram and the surrounding districts, we’re on call 24/7 to provide local, professional roadside assistance and towing services. Whether you’ve locked your keys in the car, run out of fuel on a back road, or your vehicle simply won’t start, our experienced technicians will be there quickly with the tools, training and local knowledge to get you moving again.

We’re not just a call centre or a distant service — we’re locals helping locals, and that makes all the difference when time matters most.

Roadside Help When and Where You Need It

Breakdowns can happen at any time — and often in the worst places. That’s why our roadside assistance service covers a wide range of common problems, including:

  • Flat Battery – Jump-starts or immediate replacement if required
  • Flat or Damaged Tyres – Tyre changes and basic repairs roadside
  • Locked Out of Your Car? – Assistance regaining access
  • Out of Fuel? – Fuel top-up where available
  • Vehicle Won’t Start? – On-the-spot diagnostics and minor repairs
  • Towing – Safe and secure vehicle transport to your preferred location

Because we’re based right here in Yarram, we can respond quickly — whether you’re broken down on the South Gippsland Highway, out near Port Albert, or anywhere in between.

How to Access RACV Roadside Assistance

If you’re an RACV Roadside Assistance member, accessing help is easy.

Once you’ve made the call, RACV will dispatch the closest available patrol. In the Yarram region, that’s our team at Yarram Automotive Centre — ready with fully equipped service vehicles and local knowledge to assist you efficiently.

We prioritise your safety and convenience, and we'll do everything possible to resolve your issue on the spot. If more serious repairs are needed, we’ll arrange towing to our fully equipped workshop.
