When your truck breaks down, every minute costs you money. Fleet contract customers receive priority dispatch — we drop what we are doing and come to you first, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in Melbourne.
Priority emergency callout means exactly what it says. When you call as a fleet contract customer, you go to the front of the queue — ahead of standard callouts, regardless of the time, day or location within Melbourne. Your downtime is minimised because our available technician is dispatched to your location immediately.
This is not a marketing claim. It is a contractual commitment built into every Truck Mechanic Melbourne fleet agreement. If you are a fleet contract customer and your truck breaks down at 3am on a Sunday in Melton, you will not be waiting behind a standard callout queue. You will be our first call out.
Here is exactly what happens from the moment you call:
We operate across all major Melbourne suburbs including the full Western Industrial Corridor (Ravenhall, Truganina, Laverton North, Derrimut, Sunshine West, Altona North, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Melton), Northern Melbourne (Campbellfield, Thomastown, Broadmeadows), Eastern Melbourne (Dandenong South, Mulgrave, Scoresby) and Southern Melbourne (Braeside, Port Melbourne, Dingley Village, Cheltenham).
For fleet contract customers, we also respond to breakdown locations outside our standard service area where operationally possible. Call +61 424 222 888 to discuss your specific routes and coverage requirements.
Our emergency callout service covers the full range of heavy vehicle faults including:
A single unplanned breakdown for a Melbourne freight operator typically costs between $500 and $3,000 in direct costs — towing, emergency rates, parts at retail pricing — and up to $10,000 or more when you include lost freight revenue, customer penalty clauses, driver overtime and the downstream scheduling disruption to your entire fleet.
Priority emergency callout eliminates the towing cost entirely in most cases, reduces emergency repair costs through fleet pricing and dramatically shortens the time your driver and truck are off the road. For most fleet operators, the annual cost of a fleet contract is recovered after just one or two emergency callouts.
Priority emergency callout is included in all Truck Mechanic Melbourne fleet maintenance contracts. You do not need to be on a contract to call us for emergency repairs — we attend all callouts. However, fleet contract customers receive priority dispatch, fleet pricing on parts and labour, and a dedicated account contact.

"2am, Kenworth B-Double, air brake fault on the Western Ring Road. As a fleet contract customer I called and was told a technician would be there in 35 minutes. They were there in 32. That is what priority callout actually means — not a promise, a delivery. I have been with Truck Mechanic Melbourne for three years and they have never let me down on an emergency callout."
